For Molly's sanity it's probably best that she's in the dark for the early parts of this year. If she knew everything that was going on she'd be beside herself. I do look forward to her being at Hogwarts later in the year and reading her take on it. And we're off!

Thanks for your insight. One of the funny parts in this book is Charlie's imitation of Molly going spare when he mentions that there are dragons in the First Task.
I haven't yet written her reaction when Fluer starts giving Bill the eye during the Third Task family meeting, but I am looking forward to it.
Yay! The next story is off to a great start! I think your characterization of Percy and his pompous behavior beginning to factor into his family relationships is just right. I've been waiting for this series to start up again, jumping right in, and you certainly didn't let me down. As always, I eagerly await the next chap!

Thanks for looking for Ginny's Third Year and for taking the time to review. I have a soft spot in my heart for Percy because he doesn't even know that he is making choices that are hard to undo. He truly can not see himself as others see him.
We hope that it will be possible to post every week (knock on wood).
Great to see this up here, I'm really looking forward to see Molly take on GOF and the hints that you drop in about the next three books.

Thanks for your help, Kathryn.
Ah yes, it is easy to pick up on all of JKR's clues after I've finished all seven books. And the Prewett premonitions give Molly a leg up. I am looking forward, myself, to her reaction to Ron's part in the Second Task and her physical presence for the Third Task. She gives Harry the first Mother hug that he is conscious of and reacts to Bill's reaction to Fluer. Hee Hee Hee!
I've kept looking to see when you will start the new story and I'm so glad to see it posted now.

Happy New Years brown_eyes!
I have to admit that I had so much fun writing about all the Weasley family Christmases that I sort of neglected Ginny's Third Year. That and Christmas and my Beta having computer problems all conspired to have this start a bit latter than we expected. Thanks for looking for it.
YAY! It's the start of another story, I'm so happy!!! You've just made my week.
Great job, I love that Molly is still trying to stay in shape and getting ready for her part in the final battle. She really can be a mother tiger when she wants to be. But I don't think any of us would do anything different if we were in her shoes.
Anyway great update, I can't wait for the next!

Hey! I didn't get as much done on this over the holidays as I hoped to so your cheery review is going to inspire me to get back to writing on a regular basis. My son and his wife and two kids and new dog took up a lot of my time and energy but it was fun.
During the Goblet of Fire, Molly is in the dark about what is happening for a good part of the year. She does have a rather juicy scene or so at the Triwizard Tournament, though.
I see one of yours is the Story of the Week. Yea Lantis!
