Arthur and Molly will be there, ready to receive visitors, armed (I suspect) with hugs and cocoa and tissues. Anything beyond that, we can sort it in the comments.

Dorcas is bring Fabian and Bilius. Bilius, obviously, looks a mess, but is pulling himself together for the family. He would hug Arthur and Molly tightly and apologize to Molly.

He'll tell the end of what happened. That he apparated Gideon to the cottage, that Gideon chose not to go to Mungo's, and that it seemed Gideon knew he was dying. That he passed in his arms, surrounded by their pets.

	Arthur offers strong hugs in return, and though he knows there is more that they ought to talk about, he doesn't prompt for it now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Fabian arrives with Bilius on Dorcas' arm/wand as well. Those who are looking through the windows can see that there are hugs before Dorcas is off to her next destination.

Since Bilius is telling the story, Fabian lets that happen. He's jangled, hyperactive, not entirely able to focus on any single thing. This is as bad as anyone has seen him be since he got out. He's also poking at his journal and when asked will say that he's making sure Sirius and Dorcas and Dedalus (the other three surviving Order convicts) are all right and with someone. That they shouldn't be alone tonight.

He takes all the hugs, especially from Molly.

Gwen (and possibly some of the older Weasleys) can catch him doing patterned breathing like he's staving off a flashback or a panic attack.

He keeps asking questions: Who's going to tell Ron and Ginny? Who's going to tell Hannah? Tristan? Where's the will and did Gideon change it in the last six months? Who's going to tell their parents? (Fabian will but oh Godric not tonight). To Molly, this is almost like seeing him as a child again, when he didn't always have the filter to hide the 9000000 things that were going on in his ickle mind. He hasn't ground to a halt yet but the mechanisms are exposed and creaky.

If people want him to sleep, yeah, someone is going to have to drug him.

Bilius, oddly enough is not drinking tonight. Probably not eating much either. (He's afraid that if he starts drinking, he won't stop, and the family doesn't need to see that right now.)

-The will is with solicitor x in London. Bilius thinks it might have been changed since January, but he's not certain. He did mention to Gideon that he'd changed his. ~~And now he has to change it again.~~

-Bilius will offer to tell Hannah.

-Bilius will say that Fabian or Molly should tell the parents.

If it looks necessary, he'll assure Fabian that it will all be taken care of.

Once he sees Fabian starting to break, Bilius will just go quiet and take charge, making sure everything is taken care of. (He is the oldest of the adults and sometimes he does act like it.) Arthur will probably see a lot of their father in Bilius when this shift happens.

	Vicky hugs Fabian and thanks him for warding her. She notices the fidgeting and presses what looks like a koosh ball made out of yarn into his hand. It's charmed to be squeezable and stretchable and will give him something mindless to focus on while he deals with all the other stuff. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Percy arrives with Vicky. He's in shock... utter shock. He doesn't speak, he doesn't cry. He walks around the Burrow with a blank expression mingled with horror. When he got Fabian's message, he had a premonition that it was about Gideon, but he isn't able to take in all the grief from his family members, especially Uncle Bilius, Molly and Uncle Fabian. Eventually, he'll be found sitting alone on the back porch, staring into the darkness.

	Bill follows his brother out. He waits a moment, soaking in the spring evening's chill and just being quiet. After a few moments, Bill tells Percy that he's going back to London tonight and he invites Percy and Vicky to join him at The Leaky Cauldron. (Reply to this) (Parent)

Vicky arrives with Percy. She is concerned for the family but she didn't really know Gideon, so she is free to focus on everyone else.

She has hugs for absolutely anyone who needs one. Multiple hugs. But she doesn't force anyone to get hugged.

She sticks closest to Percy's side. She's not far from him for most of the night. However, she makes a special point to check in on George and Fred.

She watches everyone carefully, and helps out when she can. She will help Molly with making sure everyone has cocoa and whatever else they need, and take over if Molly will let her.

She doesn't let anyone stay alone for too long. Mostly, she will subtly (or not-so-subtly) guide other people to sit with them, but if that doesn't work, she'll sit with whoever needs it herself.

Gwenog arrives with the Twins & Lee. She gives the twins' hands a squeeze before she goes to find Fabian. She gives him a very big hug, but she knows he's busy so Gwen spends the rest of the time sort of hanging by the door, away from the grieving family.

She doesn't know any of them all that well, so aside from hugs and I'm so sorry's, she stays by herself until Fabian finds her and they go off to talk privately.

After grabbing Gwen from Fabian's (which in other times would have gotten LOTS of comments from Fred), the twins and Lee arrive at the burrow (presumably) together.

Fred is devastated. Gideon was helping Fred and George with their defensive product line just as much as any of the other uncles were, and so they'd been a bit closer lately then they had even when the twins were growing up. Plus, they were the other F&G twins. It just makes Fred keep thinking about losing George, and how awful that would feel. And so he hugs Fabian, like, a lot.

And he hugs his mom a ton, too, and his dad, and all his brothers (even Percy, briefly, before Percy goes outside) before he takes to sitting in a corner with his twin, Lee, and some coco.

	Every so often, George has to reach over and squeeze Fred's shoulder. He tells himself he's being reassuring, but it's probably just as much because he's thinking along the same lines--what if it were Fred?--and needs to keep reassuring himself. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Bill arrives. He looks around The Burrow as if he's never been there. He lets anyone hug him who needs to, but he's not seeking it out. He seeks out Uncles B, C, and F to express his condolences.

Once he hears the story, Bill wants to know if everyone is safe. He will help take care of anything that needs to be done.

Uncle Fabian needs to concentrate on one thing at a time, Bill recognizes that. He's going to offer to help, and will suggest tasks that can be taken off Uncle F's shoulders.

He'll go to Hogwarts tomorrow to tell Ron and Ginny, if that would help. Or if Molly wants to go, he'll go with her.
