11 `Gifts' Part 1

Ron didn't know how but he had somehow managed to convince his family that a Three year old child could draw Runes if they wanted to!!! `Bulls*it' was what Pandora and Molly wanted to say but as they were in front of kids, all they could say was, ``I don't know how it's possible but I am very proud of you Ron!!'' there was no lie in those words, Molly's face although a little bit confused was mostly full of pride at her son's achievements. Pandora's words were along the same lines but she also had some questions, ``it's the same situation here, little Ron, I don't know how it's possible but I am also very proud of you! Although I would like to know the function of those Runes you have drawn, I am sure everyone's very curious.'' Ron was almost sure he saw a childlike smirk on Pandora's face when she said that last part but he was currently busy trying to push down his own shyness and try to explain his work to his family and friends, ``Um, well, it's not that big a deal but the Rings all have several Runes on them that can help a child in sensing and controlling their magic. It also has…'' before Ron could continue explaining his gift's functions, both Molly and Pandora shot out of their chairs and grabbed the nearest Ring available to them!

``What?! How?! What?!'' although only Molly uttered the words, Pandora's face showed that she was going through the same emotions! At first the existence of a Three year old child that could draw Runes was more than enough for them to ponder over for the rest of heir lives but now!!! A Three year old child that could create a Magical Instrument out of scrap metal WITHOUT any training or assistance from a grown Wizard, no Magical Reagents or any Magical Tools that Metal Charmers used!!! This was something they could ponder over for their next seven lives and still not get their heads around it!!! While all this was going through their head, the kids were looking at them like they were some kind of weirdos and the little ones even shouted at them, ``Mum! Give it back!!'' ``Yeah Ron gave it to us, not you!!'' looking at their girl's faces that were looking at them with pity and a little bit of anger, both mothers quickly gave them back their presents in fear off what they might say next. While Cedric and the rest of Weasley kids were holding back their laughter, Ron fished something else out of his pocket and brought it in front of Molly and Pandora, ``Don't worry Mom, Aunty, when have I ever forgotten to get presents for everyone in the family.''

Although the way Ron spoke about and handled the gifts was like they weren't worth much, both Pandora and Molly knew what kind of storm they would set off in the Wizarding World. But all of those thoughts were gone as they looked at the sight of the young boy losing confidence in his work and stepping back in shame, ``Hey! Where do you think you are taking my gift, huh?!'' Pandora had never seen Ron without confidence on his face and this was probably the first time the boy had shown a lack of conviction in himself, ``I don't think you know the value of the gifts you have given out today but I think even if you did you would've handed them out anyways.'' Ron had turned so red that his face was indistinguishable from his hair and had Molly not taken him in for a hug, would have left the room in the next moment, ``Thank you for the necklace son but you Aunt's right, the gifts you've handed out are too valuable! You've got to be careful who you bring these things out in front of!!'' Ron was both happy and embarrassed at this time but he didn't forget to respond to his mother, ``I don't think I actually know the worth of my gifts and I know I should be careful who I bring these things out in front of but you guys are family and if I can't share with you guys than who should I share it with.''

Both Molly and Pandora were happy and surprised at the young boy's answer and Ron didn't know but he had done himself a huge favour by saying those words! Percy had already had seeds of ambition in his heart from a young age and his youngest brother's talent had sprouted a seed of envy in his heart but as quickly as the seed had been planted, it had been squished even faster, ``Thanks little brother! But you best believe I am not leaving your shadow and am going to pester you for answers to all my questions from now on!!'' looking at the fake stern look on his brother's face, Ron smiled and nodded in agreement. ``Alright enough, I wanna find out what these things can do.'' Twin number one had finished when Twin number two finished his words and what the kids had in mind as well, ``yeah! we are all proud of Little Ron and we all love him to bits but if he doesn't start telling us the answers…''

Molly and Pandora looked at their kids and their friends joking around and laughing about the topic that had shaken them to their core and would bring a storm to the Wizarding World and just sighed in defeat and decided to listen to Ron explaining his work. ``Well, as I was saying before….'' Looking at the two `adults' before he continued speaking, `` I was interrupted, the Rings all have several Runes on them that can help a child in sensing and controlling their magic from a young age without the danger of their magic getting out of control and hurting them or others.'' Although Molly and Pandora knew this from scanning the Runes on the rings, they were still shocked to hear it. The kids didn't know how extraordinary this feat was and just thought it was cool that they would be able to cast magic very soon. ``The Necklaces have Protection Runes on them that would activate by themselves if the wearer is ever in danger….'' Although Ron was skipping on details that would shock the ladies even more, just the things he mentioned were enough for them to once again erupt in shock and surprise but they still held on. ``The Ear Rings only have Tracking Runes in case we are ever lost or whatever.'' Looking at the nonchalant way he mentioned the last one, Molly and Pandora both shot out of their chairs and pulled Ron's cheeks and asked him, ``DO YOU THINK A MAGICAL INSTRUMENT THAT CAN TRACK SOMEONE IS SOMETHING EASY TO MAKE?!!!''
