He’d been meaning to make his way to the Weasley house anyway, it was long overdue that he stop in and check on his favorite family but even more so he wanted to make sure they hadn’t been at Hogwarts when everything had happened. Kingsley could remember seeing them with the boys throughout the night, the kids in costume playing the games and getting candy. He was hopeful that the band playing at midnight had been the saving grace--the boys likely had to be in bed but still, he needed to check-in to ask.

A light knocking on the door as he heard the noise inside, stepping back so that the door could swing open and he could look at Molly properly. “I hope you don’t mind me dropping in unannounced but I could use some of those cookies you make after the long day I’ve had.” He laughed, knowing that the exhaustion was on his face, and even if it hadn’t been Molly would know just how overworked he was. She always did.

The newsstand held all the papers that he needed, it was the nifty thing about being in Diagon Alley. They not only carried the Wizarding World news but they were kind enough to show some of the more important muggle publications. Kingsley thrived off it, being able to get his news all in one place on something that was more tangible than the cell phone he’d gotten for nothing other than work purposes and to keep up with the kids that insisted they were easy to use. While he wasn’t against the new way of doing thing there was just something appealing about reading the Daily Prophet in print and using a Patronus to when he needed to send messages. 

He’d been in the process of handing the money over when he’d felt the tugging on his pant leg, head-turning and eyes lowering to spot a toothy grin with a head full of all too familiar red hair. “Charlie, my boy!” Kingsley announced not missing a beat as he moved to scoop up the child, eyes moving around him to spot which parent he was with. Not seeing Arthur or Molly his brow furrowed a moment before he turned to look back at Charlie. “Which parent did you escape from? They’re probably losing their mind right now doing a headcount.” Kingsley questioned watching as a finger pointed over towards a shop adjacent to the newsstand with the information that his mum was in there. “Come on then, mate.”

Kingsley moved quickly through the few yards easily finding Molly in the shop that thankfully wasn’t busy at all. “Excuse me ma’am, if I had to take a gander I’d say this belongs to you.” His tone was all too playful as he placed Charlie on his feet so that he could head back to his mother’s side.
