Who: Arthur Weasley.
When: After the first earthquake, and before Ron is found.
Where: Orange County.
What: Arthur's out looking for his son. He's also kind of a mess.
Rating: F for Feels.
As a parent, Arthur couldn't just sit home while his son was missing. His dreams had been dark and frightening since the first earthquake, and his days weren't much better. He'd combed parts of town on foot. He'd been out to see those of Ron's friends who were in the area. He'd made what felt like a thousand phone calls to various police departments and volunteer search groups. And now? He was wandering around and putting up fliers. It was wrenching. Arthur was trying to keep it together for Molly and Ginny, but every moment was a battle. He loved his children, even poor directionless Ron, and the worry was almost unbearable. He could see sympathy in the eyes of the shop-owners who took his missing persons fliers, but Arthur wasn't particularly consoled. He knew they meant well, but he was caught up in his own worry and couldn't properly appreciate the kindness of others. They'd find Ron. They had to find him, because Ron was their youngest boy and how would Arthur ever console Molly if they'd lost their child? Perhaps he was at a hospital that they hadn't thought to check, or with friends and playing some video game that had made them all lose track of time. ...several days of time. It was a stupid lie to tell himself, and Arthur knew it, but he clung to the comforts he could find. If only he did know magic. If only he had the skill to locate his son. |
