2: Changes in the Wizarding World — October and November 1997
Things are getting more dangerous day by day. Everyone is terrified and you can't trust anyone. Almost sounds like WOII. In a way, it is and I know that more people have made that connection.
Ginny's letter, I hope she'll one day find out that those warm feelings came from Harry while he's looking at the Mar.Map doing his watch at night.
These chapters will not be easy to write or to read. Quite emotional.
But I love it!

You have expressed the dark quality of Deathly Hallows very well. Molly and Arthur can't let themselves realize what Ginny is going through at Hogwarts. Everything is dangerous this year.
I'm pretty satisfied with this story. I am still revising the three chapters about the Battle at Hogwarts but have already started on Ginny's Seventh Year. I need to write more fluff than angst. Molly and Arthur ( and everyone else) deserve a more peaceful year.

Ah, poor Molly. She's stuck at home worrying about her children and what mischief they're getting into. Of course, she has no idea. I wonder what Molly and Arthur think of Snape becoming headmaster, from the perspective of them knowing him in the Order? I do hope that Ginny gets to tell them a lot more when she's home for Christmas. It seems that I always feel bad for Molly because she's been so defined by her children for so long, and now she's aching because they're so far away. I can really feel that coming across in your story. Okay, on to the next.

Thanks for your encouraging review.
Molly and Arthur are confronted with two bad choices about Ginny. As a Pureblood, she must attend Hogwarts (unless she is ill with something horrible like Ron is supposed to be). So long as the Ministry does not suspect their duplicity, Arthur, Bill, and the twins can continue to gather information to aid the resistance. As soon as they are found out, they must all go into hiding. Ginny is bearing the brunt of the horrors at Hogwarts.

Uf!
The atmosphere is so tense, it really feels like re-reading the Deathly Hollows again.
Poor Ginny, she´s in so many troubles.
Poor Harry, we all know why, poor Hermione, crying silently for Ron, poor Ron, wanting to return but not being able to.
Poor Tonks and Lupins.
Poor everyone, but above all poor Molly with all her worries!
And the bad things yet to come...
Anyway, great-great job!
Just a little question popped into my head: Isn´t Molly reading Mr Lovegood´s newspaper?

Deathly Hallows is so dark that I am trying to find all the everyday joy that Molly experiences. Remember her Boggart was all of her loved ones dead.
Molly thinks Xenophilous Lovegood is a bit too eccentric and wouldn't be a regular reader unless it was a special edition on Harry or something like that.

This year has so much darkness that I want Arthur and Molly to have some good memories. They know almost nothing about what is happening to their two youngest and Harry and Hermione.

Thank you for your encouragement and always kind comments. We all know the story is getting darker so I hope I can convey Molly's emotions as her worst fear comes true.

I love Molly's pendant. Such a beautiful gift from a loving husband.

Thank you for all the suggestions you made for this chapter. Wouldn't it be nice to have a pendant that would remind us of how much we are loved? It would be very appropriate this winter.
