And the Clock Struck Shag

Molly Weasley was always a worrisome wife and mother. So worrisome, in fact, that she had the ancestral grandfather clock modified to locate the whereabouts of her family when the last of her brood was born. Each of the clock's many hands was adorned with the faces of her loved ones, including those of Fleur Delacour, Bill's bride-to-be, and Harry Potter, Ron's closest confidante.

There was a corresponding sound with each of the clock's settings; the pleasant tu-whit tu-whoo of the owl to designate 'Sleep' through the shrill cry of the Bandon Banshee that signalled 'Mortal Peril.' Only 'Shagging', the one activity undeniably related with sounds did not have a chime (or more appropriately a moan).

Though Molly would never openly admit the setting was added to frighten any suspicions she had about Arthur's fidelity, it proved more than helpful in keeping her boys in line, two of whom she was expecting any moment now.

Fred and George watched as both Harry and Ron's clock hands lingered at 'Shagging' before turning widdershins around to 'Travelling.' Molly, who was busy washing the dinner dishes, only caught sight of their impending arrival.

"Oh, look!" she exclaimed. "The boys are coming!"

"Came's more like it mum," said the twins.

"Come again?" she asked.

"Likely," they snickered.
