Ahem. Hi. this is my first story on fanfiction ever, so excuse me if it gets a bit boring or unlikable. In short, it is all about what I think of the Harry Potter characters, and will always include a rant if it is a particularly misunderstood character.[example- ALBUS DUMBLEDORE...] and also will include a storyline of what I think must have happened to those lesser-known characters like Rita Skeeter and maybe even Argus Flich. So, moving on from this essay of an Author note, here goes my very first chapter!

This one is about Molly Weasley the First.

So, I have come across a LOT of stories that have Molly Weasley in them. But I get kinda irked noticing the fact that almost always she is the supporting character, and that I really have to search a lot to come across something that portrays her as something other than just an overly cautious mother. I mean, I would like to think that Once upon a time, Molly did dream of being something else. There is nothing wrong with being a mother, infact that is what makes her character strong and likeable, but the way Fanfic more often than not stereotypes her motherhood just undermines her abilities and dreams in favour of a more 'Matronly' image.

"Molly was frequently described as a short, plump, kindly-looking woman, whom Harry was shocked to see that she could so easily look "like a sabre-tooth tiger" when she was angry with her sons."

I would imagine that it takes quite a lot of self-control to hold herself when there is a possibility her husband might die in the fifth book. The image of the over-bearing and restrictive mother prone to forgetting Ron and favouring her other kids is just not who she is. I mean, dealing with seven kids, all of whom have different personalities and making sure they come out alright while never stifling their own uniqueness is something I think is very hard, and Molly has been able to do that for years. Doing that requires her giving equal attention to all her kids, whether Ron, Bill, or Ginny. I despise it when people write fanfics in which Molly does not pay enough attention to Ron as she does to others.

I mean, come on! Molly certainly has a lot of faults (judgemental anybody?) but in the end, I think she is a well rounded character who has brought up amazing characters like Ginny and Bill.

She does suffer from the classic case of not being able to cope as her children grow up, but eventually, in the end, she does always let them live their lives instead of cooping them up. Also, she is quite Prideful of her children and I am quite sure that the mischievous streak present in Fred and George does not solely come from Arthur, In fact it is quite easy to imagine a young Molly Weasley setting fire to the dungeons.

One thing I really love about her is that she has never held her husbands financial position against him even though he is capable of getting a better job, which will take him away from his passion. This clearly shows that she loves him dearly, and that all Molly/Lucius or Molly/Snape (SERIOUSLY?) fanfics are in bad taste.
