Chapter 37
The next morning the Weasley men venture out to the healers tent once more. Arthur's Healer runs another diagnostic.
‘It seems as though the potions that were influencing you are no longer in your system. Did you get your memories back?’
‘Yes, both of my sons helped me with that.’
‘In that case you are cleared for travel and released from my care. If you feel any other ill effects please visit another Healer in England.’
‘I will.’
‘Remember what I said. You have 24 hours.’
‘We are going to get a portkey as soon as we leave here.’
‘I wish you the best. I'm sorry you have learned such distressing news.’
‘Thank you. Have a nice day.’
Within the hour they are packed up and waiting for their newly acquired portkey to activate.

Maybe Molly should return home in another day or two. Perhaps Albus will have some spare time.
Molly stands and crosses to the desk in her room. After penning a letter she heads to the owlery. With any luck this will be the last night she is at Aunt Muriel's house. It was time to head home and relax before Arthur returned.
The next morning Molly squeals as she reads the letter. Albus will be at the burrow for dinner and he can stay for 2 days. Giving her a day before Arthur is supposed to be home. Things couldn't possibly work out better. After dressing Molly bids her aunt goodbye and heads home to prepare for the coming evening.
Molly prepares a nice dinner then dresses nicely for her ‘date’ later that evening. Dumb appears and they enjoy the meal. They spend the evening bringing each other ecstasy. The next morning Dumbledore is sitting on the couch without clothes on and Molly is giving him head she is also naked. Suddenly the door bursts open as Arthur, Bill and Charlie arrive home.
Hearing the door behind her open, Molly slides Dumbledore’s dick out of her mouth and looks up.
Suddenly she is mortified. Dumbledore summons his clothes swiftly, puts them back on and attempts to leave. Bill stands in front of the fireplace blocking his exit while Charlie stands in the still open doorway preventing escape. Molly, who is still naked is trying to talk to Arthur. Clearly disgusted with the scene they discovered, Arthur angrily says, ‘I think you should leave.’
‘Arthur I'm sorry I can explain.’
‘Explain what? It's pretty obvious what we walked in on. Was this the first time?’
Molly snaps her mouth shut not wanting to answer his question.
‘How long has this gone on? Are any of the children his?’
Bill and Charlie both have their arms crossed over their chests not moving. Dumbledore goes to raise his wand but Bill and Charlie point their wands at him and he pauses.
Molly opens her mouth and closes it several times.
‘Answer me,’ Arthur insists.
‘It's been going on for years. I'm not sure but Ron might be his.’
‘Might? You said he was mine.’ Albus demands behind her.
Molly looks over her shoulder at him, hoping to silence him.
‘You can both leave now. I can't stand to look at you. Take whatever you need. I don't know when you will be returning.’
‘What will the children think?’
‘I plan to tell them the truth.’
‘You can't.’
‘Why not?’
‘You just can't. They are just children.’
‘I'm sure they are both old enough to understand the situation. Leave.’
‘But this is my home.’
‘Never mind, I'm done arguing. Boys, I'm leaving. Are you coming?’
They both nod and follow Arthur out of the house. Molly looks shattered. All three appariate to Diagon Alley intending to visit the twins.

Arthur doesn't know what to do anymore. He realizes with dismay that before this is over he will probably hate Molly for all that she has done. Every new thing he learns causes that hatred to grow a little more. When they walk into the twins' shop, Fred immediately walks over to them.
‘What are you all doing here? Dad, I thought you were visiting Charlie?’
‘I was but I came back a little earlier than planned. We have some things we need to discuss with you and George. Are you able to take the rest of the day off? I wouldn't say it's urgent but it is rather important.’
‘Head upstairs and I will see what I can do alright? Maybe put on some tea?’
Arthur nods before heading in the direction of the stairs. Fred walks over to George.
‘I dont know whats going on but dad needs to talk to us upstairs. He asked if we could take the rest of the day off.’
‘Well it isn't ideal but I'm sure we can manage. It is only half a day and we aren't too busy since school is in session.’
Over the next half hour the twins close up the shop and send the remaining customers away. They head upstairs where their father looks stressed and their brothers worried.
‘What's going on?’
‘There are many new developments. I'm not sure where to start. I'm hoping to spare you some of the details but this will still probably be a challenging conversation.’
Arthur begins telling them everything about Molly's deception and potion usage. He continues on to describe his modified memories and the things he learned since recovering them.
‘Please remember boys you are my children. I raised you and love you unconditionally. I learned something that was kept from all of us. You were adopted without my knowledge. I'm not sure of the circumstances that surround the event but you need to know.’
‘How?’
‘What?’
‘Who were we?’
‘I'm sorry I do not know your birth names, only the name of your father.’
‘Who was he?’
‘Is he still alive?’
‘I don't think he is. His name was Regulus Black.’
‘Are we related to Sirius?’
‘Yes you are. I hope we can learn more about the circumstances surrounding your adoption.’
‘We will find the answers together, dad. Why aren't you home? I get that there's alot going on with mum but normally you and her make up relatively easily.’
‘It's hard to get certain imagery out of your head when you witness it first hand.’
‘What do you mean?’
‘Mum was having an affair. We all walked in on it. Do you really want more details?’
‘With who?’
‘We will kill him.’
Charlie scoffs good luck. ‘Its Dumbledore.’
‘No-’
‘Way.’
The twins look ill.
‘Now you understand why we didn't want to talk about it. I hope I never have to see anything like that again.’
‘You and I, both son. Do any of you know a place I can stay for a few days? I don't really want to go home right now.’
‘I bet Sirius would like some company and from his favorite nephews too.’
‘Very true. Let's go over there and fill him in on the news.’
‘Oh another thing very soon your mother will be brought in on charges involving potioning me long term. The Reserve healer is required to report it.’
‘We understand dad.’
