That is beautiful. I've never really been one to read things from Molly's viewpoint but this works just so well. I love the way she reflects on the past and sees the present in the reflection of the window. The way she realises there is more to Harry and Draco's friendship from the silent touches speaks volumns and then the idea of what Ginny might have seen.

Excellent.

Thanks so much. It was challenging to take on a new viewpoint and one that I don't see done all that often. I'm glad you liked it.

[waterbird]

Thanks. And thanks again for all your help.

Beautiful. The emotions that came through were very real.

I find Molly Weasley in canon something of an irritation but this Molly is someone who could be lurking behind the canon surface - and I like her.

Well done.

Oh, thank you so much! I'm really glad it felt real to you -- and that you liked this portrayal of Molly. I've never written her before. :)

And I love your portrayal of Molly too.

I was a little nervous writing from Molly's viewpoint, so I'm very pleased it worked for you. Thanks for reading and commenting!
