Blimey! We're really on a cruiseship, are we? This is absolutely brilliant. Is there anyone around here who is an expert on the inner workings of one? The only one I've ever read about was the Titanic and that had a particular tragic ending.

And these devices? Bloody brilliant. You don't even need a Dictaquill or a wand!

Forgive my lack of manners. I should probably have first introduced myself on this. My name is Arthur Weasley. I come from London, but I have been told that London is not anywhere near here.

	I suppose there's bound to be a mix of good and bad in everything. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Don't worry about me too much. I'm pretty good. I was a Cursebreaker for a while. In Egypt. I had to come back and work at Gringotts later, but that was because of things happening at home. I needed to be closer to home. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	How? When? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I don't really know the how. I guess I could find out since there's a whole book series, but I don't really want to read them. It feels weird. In 1994. I came back in 1995. There's a lot [...] I don't know how much I should say and how much I shouldn't. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[...] I can speak to your Mum about them, then. It's no pressure. Who is Fleur? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Okay. There are a few things that are mine. I was attacked by Greyback and he wasn’t transformed, but I have facial scarring because of it. I’m not a werewolf. Just prefer my meat cooked less. And there was a battle here. I lost a hand. I’m getting a new one, but it’s going to be robotic.

[...] She’s my wife. She’s not here. She was here before, pregnant with our first, but that’s further than where I am. We’d only just gotten married for me.

	That's... that's a lot to take in. I guess this was all during the second coming of You-Know-Who? [...] Congratulations, Bill. I'm truly happy that you found love. It's just that the rest of it is a bit heavy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The face, yes. The hand, no. I know. It's [...] I'm sorry. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Blimey... Greyback. No, Bill. I'm sorry. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

It's fine. Really. I'm fine. It made Mum accept Fleur after she told Mum that she was beautiful enough for both of us and she wasn't going to leave because of my face. She also puts up with my truly horrible attempts at French, which is important. We have three kids in the future. Victoire, Dominique, and Louis. I'm just a bit behind the times, so I have to learn these things from other people/the internet.

I'm the one dumping information on you.

I know you will all recover from this. I raised -- or at least planned to raise -- a strong group of children, to persevere through anything, to not run away and to fight bravely for the rights of others. And I am glad to hear that you'll continue to live and love.

It's just not all easy for a father to hear, especially one who would have preferred you never get touched by that war in any way.

	We're a very stubborn group of children. We don't listen very well. So you know. We'd have been touched by war one way or another. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I guess stubbornness is one trait you have your parents to blame for! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	There are worse things. We could be Malfoys. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ergh, thank Merlin that didn't happen. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	See? We managed one great thing in our lives. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	gryffindad 2018-02-22 08:31 am UTC (link)
	I think there's more to count than just that one! (Reply to this) (Parent)
