"Fred and George" is both speaking

Hadrian's POV
"Are you alright, Arthur?" I asked.

"I will be. I just didn't realize that she had done so much in the time she was with me. I am just glad that Fred and George are born now. I didn't know about the two children, so I don't feel that sad, but I would've been completely broken if my twins were to have died." Arthur said.

"Please don't say such things. Nothing will happen to anyone from now on." I said as I put my hand on Arthur's shoulder.

"Hadrian is right. We should try to focus on the future from now on." Fabian Prewett said.

"We will learn from the past and move forward to being better." Gideon Prewett said.

Arthur nodded.

"Did you know how I looked before I walked into the King's Cross?" I asked Molly.

"Yes." Molly replied.

"Did Albus show you my photographs?" 

"Yes."

"When did he show them to you?" 

"From the time you were left on the front porch of the Dursleys' house."

"If Ron was in my place, would you have allowed it?"

"Never. My baby shouldn't be placed with such foul people."

"You think you're better?"

"Yes. I am better than them."

"Then why did you keep insulting Fleur and never cared enough for her even if she was your daughter-in-law?"

"The girl is not a pure witch. She is a quarter Veela. What if she put her charm on my Arthur?"

"Arthur was never yours and will never be. Fleur, if anything, is the most loyal woman I have seen aside from Lily. She knows she's gotten herself a jackpot with Bill. Why would she try for Arthur, who is her father-in-law? Fleur respects Arthur more than you as she knows he welcomes her into the family wholeheartedly than you and your two children." I said. 

Fleur is like an older sister I never had, and I know she feels that I am her brother as well. While I was still married to Ginevra, she had always helped me with things related to Ginevra.

"Any more questions?" I asked everyone.

"Did you ever try anything with Fleur?" Bill asked.

"No. She always knew if I added anything to her food and drinks, so I couldn't try anything." Molly said.

"Did you know I had a lover when I was still in Hogwarts?" Charlie asked.

"Yes." Molly said.

"What did you do to him?" Charlie asked.

"I sent him away. He took the money and left the country." Molly said.

"Did you use the money you got from Albus for that?" Charlie asked.

"Yes." Molly said.

"Charlie?" Arthur called.

"I had a lover from my fifth year. He disappeared after our graduation. I know he loves dragons as much as I do, so I became a dragonologist and searched for him in every dragon reserve in the world." Charlie said.

"What is his name?" I asked Charlie. 

I know exactly how it feels to have someone you love, but you weren't able to get to them.

Even if Albus erased my feelings for the twins, I always felt like my heart was being crumbled when I saw them being lover-dovey with Angelina Johnson. I have always felt that I wanted to separate them and kiss the life out of those two, but I felt that would be rude as I was forced to be with Ginevra.

"Mathew Yaxley." Charlie said.

"The one who is the distant cousin of the former Lord Yaxley?" I asked.

"Yes, the same one." Charlie said.

"He is in Britain. Always looks gloomy and keeps an eye on the twins' shop all the time. He took over Florean Fortescue's parlor. You go there in the morning, you'll meet him." I said with a smile.

"He... He is here?" Charlie asked.

"Yes. The man looks like he has never seen a good day in his life." I said.

"When did you observe that?" Fred asked.

"Even we didn't know he looked out for us." George said.

"I always paid attention to the surroundings of the shop. When I saw him focusing on the shop all the time I went to see you, I felt suspicious and interrogated him. He said that he had known you and felt proud of you and was just looking out for you as you were family for me." I said.

Dad was smiling, and so was father. 

"You always had feelings for those two, didn't you?" Father asked.

I nodded. I know that my ears have turned red as I could feel my ears were hot.

"Hades!" My twins said with smiles as they hugged me.

"Thank you. Thanks to you looking out for my brothers, you have found the man I have always been searching for. But why did I never see him when I went to the parlor?" Charlie said and then asked.

"Do you think he doesn't pay attention to his shop's surroundings? He always went to the kitchen when you were near the parlor. I noticed that, but I didn't know why. Maybe he feels that he has deceived you and doesn't know how to face you." I said.

Charlie nodded.

"Did you do anything to my lover, Penelope Clearwater?" Percy asked.

"No. She is a pure blood and is a witch without creature blood." Molly said.

Percy sighed in relief.

"Have you ever tried anything with your older brothers?" My twins asked.

"Yes. I have always tried, but they never fell for them. If they did, they'd be dead before I got married to Arthur." Molly said.

"Did you try anything with Remus Lupin and Sirius Black?" Regulus asked.

"I tried to give Sirius some potions so that he'd never go against Albus, but Remus always sniffed them out and removed them." Molly said.

"Did Remus think it was Kreacher's work?" I asked.

"Yes." Molly said.

"What about Remus?" I asked.

"I couldn't. When I knew he threw the potions given to Sirius, I knew they wouldn't work on him. He has a defense mastery, so I couldn't even use spells on him." Molly said.

Thank Merlin for that.

"Did you try anything with James and Lily?" Charlus asked.

"No. Even when they were in the Order, Lily knew her potions and charms, and I couldn't do anything to them." Molly said.

"Other than the potions you gave Hadrian, did you do anything else?" Dad asked. 

Father blinked at dad. Then he looked at Molly, hoping that she didn't. 

Dad would have no reason to keep her alive any longer if she did, and she had a lot more than just giving me potions.

"Yes. I have obliviated him on a lot of occasions. He saw me cheating on Arthur and was about to tell him. I did have to use the spells again when Harry saw my girl enjoying her life with people she wanted. If he remembered that my girl had men, he'd never be with her." Molly said.

Dad took a deep breath and walked to stand by me, and so did father. He slowly took his wand out and twirled it around his fingers. "If I did that to your babies, would you let me live?" Dad asked in his sweetest voice, which definitely sent shivers down father's spine because even I felt scared of him despite being stronger than him.

"I'd kill you." Molly said.

"Then you should know I would do more than that." Dad said as he pointed his wand at Molly.

"Severus, wait for a while. We only have Albus to question. Just him, and you'll have her to yourself. I promise you that." Father said as he put his hand on Dad's hand that held his wand.

Dad glared at father but then sighed and lowered his wand. "I want to do whatever I want with Molly." He said.

All of us nodded.

"Any last words, Molly?" I asked.

"Yes. I wish that I had killed all the people I hated." Molly said.

"You can throw her along with Ronald and the others." I told dad.

He smirked and used more than required force to throw Molly on her poor children.

"I think I'll take my leave. I need time to digest all the things I have heard now." Arthur said.

I felt for the man. He has gone through a lot in his life.

When I nodded, my twins leaned towards me and whispered, "Wait for us. We want to be here when you interrogate Albus." 

I nodded.

They went out to show their father, siblings, and uncles out and came back looking murderous as they looked eyes with Albus.
