So exhausted they missed out on the fact that their ten year old daughter spent the entire trip home from the station pouting under a blanket in the back seat, only her red hair spilling out, refusing to respond to Molly's few, tired attempt to cheer her by pointing out the things she could do with her friends now that her brothers were gone - Molly had forgotten for a bit how Ginny's two best friends of long association were both a year older than her and would now be gone at Hogwarts also.
When Mrs. Weasely recalled this she lapsed into embarrassed silence, sure she had made her only daughter's pout worse.
They made the rest of the trip home in a mingled state of awkward and exhausted quiet so bad Ginny didn't stir from her pout even when they pulled up to their home and both her father and mother got out of the car to go inside the house.
Undoubtedly Molly would have gone back to the vehicle bearing treats for her distraught daughter, but a naked and dripping Peter Pettigrew apparated into their house at that moment. Molly and Arthur recognized the former Marauder instantly.
Peter in an increasing panic apparated yet again to that last place he viewed as being safe, or a refuge: The Potter's House in Godric's Hollow.
Unfortunately for him, there was a tour group there for a memorial held in honor of the Potters, the anniversary of their death being just the night before. It was a shocking amount of old friends, including Remus Lupin, who saw the old and supposedly dead confidant of those very people the crowd was there to remember.
The crowd gasped in horrified recognition.
Still sleep fogged, Pettigrew at least knew his frantic apparations were granting more and more attention each time he did it. So he did what next occurred to his reflex to hide, he turned back into a rat...
...right there in front of hundreds of witches and wizards who had focused their entire attention on that supposedly dead 'hero'..
