The Anniversary Present

For their wedding anniversary, Molly gives Arthur a mirror that features prominently in the events that follow.
This story was originally posted (in embryonic form) in response to a challenge from the 30minutefics LJ community. I don't own any of these characters, but then you knew that.
Many thanks to my beta, Callicrates, for his insightful suggestions, and tireless editing.

Reviews for The Anniversary Present
That was really touching and beautiful.
Response from Raira (Author of The Anniversary Present)
Thank you. :D I think my favourite part of writing this was telling the love story between Molly and Arthur.
I really enjoyed this story. It's well written, and the characterizations are spot on. I was disappointed that Percy's deed was simply swept under the carpet and that Authur wouldn't tell them that he was there--in return, giving them comfort and peace of mind. Other than that, I liked it very much. I figured that it was a one of those Foe detectors. Great idea to use!

Thank you! :)I think Arthur was in a bit of a state of shock, himself. His own son had done the deed. If he were thinking more clearly, he might have told them. He does intend to, one day.As for the Ministry, I have no excuses to make on their behalf. :)
This is so on tap! Arthur & Molly are the parents every child wants - and show how much love there is in the world to be had by those who wish.Thanks for your awesome piece!

Thank you! I really enjoyed writing them. I just adore Arthur, especially.I'm really glad you enjoyed it!
That was very tragic. There is so much there you could easily make this a longer story. nicely done
Response from Raira (Author of The Anniversary Present)
Thank you!That's worth some thought. I can see some places it might go next.
Freakin' Percy... I can totally see something like this happening in the books.
Response from Raira (Author of The Anniversary Present)
Thanks for reading (and reviewing)!I think I might've been a little harsh on him, but not too harsh. Murder? I don't know, but I'm not sure how closely he'd stop short of it. 
Awww... what a plot. This was a very good read. :D

Interesting interpretation of the foe glass/mirror. Sad story, though. Nicely written.
