Quote: "Motherhood is the greatest thing and the hardest thing." -Ricki Lake
Molly Weasley knew better than anyone that motherhood was the greatest but harder thing. She'd raised six boys, and a girl. She had also basically adopted her youngest boy's best friend, the saviour of the wizarding world who had abusive guardians.
It was hard to walk in public and see a child crying, she would want to do something about it. So when she's seen Draco Malfoy for the first time, it was hard not to hug him and make sure he was alright.
It wasn't hard to tell that the boy's father was putting too much pressure on him. It wasn't hard to see through his facade. Sure he'd bullied Harry but the boy was just making himself into the bigger man, much like his father did to him.
Maybe that's why he kept going back to Harry. Harry stood up to him, he didn't submit like others did. The harder he tried the quicker Harry bounced back.
Molly saw it. She saw it every time and wished she could do something. The poor boy. She'd turn away reluctantly every time and not say a word but it would always be on her mind as she lay awake each night.
I wasn't sure how to do this one but when I saw the quote I thought of Molly. *shrugs* not my best work, I know. And I should be working on my entry for the Battleship but this black mood won't leave and I can't bring myself to write for it... I promise I'll work on it. ~Cat.
