Arriving home from work, Arthur Weasley saw Molly watching their son with eyes swimming with tears.

Bill was fending off attacks from the twins while talking earnestly to Percy about the interview with Gringotts he had that afternoon.

Bill was squeaky clean, immaculately groomed and wearing, if not the newest, them at least the best and least worn formal robes in the house that would fit him.

"Look at our boy," Arthur said, "All grown up."

"He's so handsome," Molly said sniffily. "I can't bear to lose him."

"You're not going to lose him."

"He's going to Egypt, Arthur!"

"It's just an interview, Molly dear, they might not..."

"Of course, they will!" Molly snapped. "He's such a clever boy,"

"Well there you go, if he's clever enough to be send to Egypt, he's clever enough to be fine and do well there, isn't he?"

"You're right of course," Molly said tears pouring silently down her face. "Being silly."

Arthur put his arm around his wife and held held for a long while as she cried quietly on his shoulder but by the time he left them to his interview she was all smiles and happiness for Bill's sake at least.
