Spending the afternoon with seven children in Diagon Alley was not Molly Weasley’s idea of a good time. But Bill would be leaving tomorrow for his first year at Hogwarts. (Tomorrow? It seemed only yesterday that she held him as a baby.)

I'm glad you liked it! When I read the challenge name, I immediately thought of poor Molly and what she had to have gone through getting the kids ready for school. Especially when she had the babies! :)

Thank you! This week's topic was fun. I wanted to add something about the twins misbehaving, but I had no more words. But then I figured that everyone just needed to know that the twins were there and they would assume they'd be causing trouble. :)

Ha! Poor Molly doesn't get a day off until Ginny gets on the Hogwarts Express herself for the first time. And considering Ginny is three weeks old in this story...eleven years and counting for Molly!

Oh, this was really fun, and completely accurate. I couldn't even begin to imagine!

Thank you! I'm glad you liked it. I had a lot of fun picturing Molly in Diagon Alley with seven kids under eleven! I don't think that woman got any sleep for almost twenty years. (If you add the years from Bill's birth to when Ginny went to Hogwarts.) :)
