I’ve read that Rowling originally intended to kill Arthur Weasley during the battle in the Ministry of Magic in Order of the Phoenix. As we know, she instead killed Sirius. I think that I want to write a piece of flash fiction about how things would have been different had Arthur died instead, and the aftermath of that. I would also like to use a prompt generator that gave me the first sentence, “He awoke from a nightmare about garden gnomes and shuddered.” I think this would go along well with the Arthur storyline.

I think that this is certainly an interesting idea. Go ahead and break my heart by killing him! The garden gnomes sound exactly like something he would be having nightmares about, I love it.
I think this is a really cool idea. Arthur is one of my favorite characters along with Molly because they don’t hesitate to welcome Harry into the family. Maybe you could mention something about how Molly is strong in front of everyone but have someone catch her crying. I feel like that’s something that would have happened.
