RP: Charlie & Ron Who: Charlie, Ron Where: The Burrow When: 5 April, 2017, tea time Summary: Ron visits his brother
The office had been unbearably slow, and with no active cases there was no reason for Ron to hang around when he wasn't even on duty. He'd gone in on the off chance that something would happen, but it had been just paperwork and more paperwork. When Dawlish had started reminiscing about the old days, telling a story he'd told at least ten times before, Ron had taken the first opportunity to escape. He'd toyed with the idea of finding Hermione, trying to charm her into taking the afternoon off, but he knew it would be a fruitless effort. Instead, he'd Apparated to the Burrow to visit with Charlie. He figured his brother would need a break from Mum anyway, who was taking the opportunity of having one of her children home to go into Mum overdrive.
It had taken some convincing to get their mother to go to her weekly tea with Andromeda Tonks, but apparently the prospect of seeing little Teddy was strong enough for Molly to entrust Ron with Charlie's care and keeping. They waited just long enough to make sure Molly didn't Apparate back for a forgotten cloak, and then headed out into the garden. It was a perfect early spring day: bright, sunny, and the garden gnomes were in particularly good moods as the garden was starting to bloom again. They didn't go far from the house, since Charlie still walked with a limp, but it was good to be outside.
"So, had enough of Mum's smothering yet?" Ron asked, turning to look at his brother. The burns were bright red, just showing from under the collar of his shirt.
