Oh, yes. It comforts me beyond words that Molly keeps that kitchen.

I love how Arthur is never far from her thoughts - how the strength of their marriage informs everything she tells Remus. Wonderful job, every word and glance. Yay.

*hugs*

You rock my world! I would write stories just for you to read you're so great ~ and sometimes that's just what I do!

This is the Molly that I love to see in a story, fully acknowledging the lack of perfection in her life and family, forgiving of others, tenacious and encouraging but loving above all. There is a sad lack of it and I am so glad I came over to read this! *hugs Daisy* Beautiful.

Thanks, Katie! Isn't Molly such a mom? That's what makes her so awful and so wonderful at the same time.

*hugs katie*

Molly embodies unconditional love and that's what I love about her and this story. I like to think that her words of wisdom -- and more importantly, the example she sets by the way she lives her life -- had some small influence in changing Remus' mind about Tonks.

I appreciate how your Remus is very much acting on his mind rather than his heart -- very fitting from what we know of his personality.

I also really liked the insight Molly has about how Ron -- that he minds being poor because he minds being Ron. I hadn't thought about it that way before, but it fits.

Thanks! Yeah, I'm not certain that's all it is with Ron, but it seems likely that Molly would feel that way about him and his issues. I do love Molly's ordinary hopes and dreams in the midst of all the craziness...so necessary and unappreciated.

He envied Arthur; with this fierce, strong love at his side, no wonder he felt capable of the things he did. Molly believed in him.

Well said! Yes, it's amazing what one can accomplish with a strong woman who believes in one's abilities and worthiness.

Thanks so much and YAY ~ I always get such pleasure when someone picks out a bit I liked to comment on! She beleives in all the people she loves, even as she worries about the choices they make ~ it's so real to me and makes me just love Molly.

Aaaaah the goodness! Best Molly Story Ever! Honestly, I am incoherent with squeeing!

“Love is necessary,” Molly answered him quickly. “That’s why we put ourselves in danger for it.”

I love Molly. I love you! I love the way Remus keeps pushing her but is scared she'll agree with him because he doesn't want her to. I love Molly's insight into everyone. I love how she doesn't give Remus easy answers. This is pure awesomeness from beginning to end!

*sighs happily*

Tee hee...Ah, we love Remus too, don't we? Because how on earth could Molly have "kept telling" him if wasn't listening to her in some small way? And Molly's no dummy, she just wants her "family" safe and happy and can't help herself from telling them how to be that way, because she thinks about how they can be that way, because she loves them. Okay, so I'm a little Molly defensive, but you know why!
