4 December 1971
If you were to ask her now what she thinks of Bill Weasley, she would happily coo that he is absolutely the most perfect child she has ever seen.
Yes, perhaps he is less than a week old, but he is the most gorgeous week-old child in the world. It was certainly worth it, all the pain and strife of pregnancy, for this beautiful boy.
1 September 1982
If you were to ask her now what she thinks of Bill Weasley, she would hurriedly tell you that he's a wonderful child before rushing back to the rest of her children, the youngest of whom has just turned one.
She still loves him, though, as she tells him tearfully while the train begins to pull away from the station. Don't get her wrong. Bill is a wonderful child.
8 July 1988
If you were to ask her now what she thinks of Bill Weasley, her lips would form a wide smile as she told you without at all concealing her excitement that her son is Head Boy.
He may not have always been the most rule-following of her children (that would always be Percy, and she was sure that he, too, would be a Gryffindor Prefect and perhaps even Head Boy), but he was perhaps more kind than Percy, more well-rounded. She may have loved Bill more than any other child, because Bill was quite possibly perfect.
27 December 1988
If you were to ask her now what she thinks of Bill Weasley, she would tear up and immediately change the subject.
It's not as if he has done something wrong, nor as if something's happened to him. It was merely that she cannot stand the thought of her firstborn son being so far away from her. What if something happens?
24 June 1996
If you were to ask her now what she thinks of Bill Weasley, she would scoff a bit and tell you that he's going batty.
Yes, she thinks Fleur is friendly enough; but she can't be good enough for her Bill. People like tonks, who are pretty and nice and intelligent. Fleur doesn't have the last one; she's entirely vapid. Obviously, Bill is much too smart, much too nice, much too good for her.
3 July 1997
If you were to ask her now what she thinks of Bill Weasley, she would start to cry and say nothing to you.
He's been transferred to St. Mungo's after the Battle of the Astronomy Tower and is still not improving. Everyone's worried he's going to die. Molly stays with him all throughout the day; she doesn't want to leave his side.
2 May 2000
If you were to ask her now what she thinks of Bill Weasley, she would say that he should be the happiest man she knows.
She remembers the day she had him; she was exhausted and irritable and she was in oh so much pain but it was entirely worth it, she remembered. There was nothing she would have traded for her son.
So it is with that memory that she sees her first granddaughter for the very first time. She is beautiful, absolutely lovely, the most adorable thing she has seen since Ginny was born, and the little girl looks like her own son, though perhaps it was only her that saw it.
Victoire Cera is gorgeous, and she is Fleur's, and she is Bill's, and Molly is happy.
19 March 2076
If you were to ask her now what she thinks of Bill Weasley, she would say that he's one of the most perfect people she has ever met.
He's old now, and of course so is she. Both of them are in their hundreds already, but that hasn't broken the bond of love that a good mother has for her son and a good son for his mother.
So when the wizened old woman in the hospital bed grows silent, Bill isn't as sad as he had expected to be. He's happy, somehow.
If you were to ask him now what he thinks of Molly Weasley, he would say that she is - not was - the most beautiful person he has ever met.
