Thank you all for the reviews. And, by the way, I was wondering if perhaps anybody was interested in seeing what Brianne looks like and what Molly looks like.
I made them both in the Sims 2. So, here is the link:

and

Of course, nobody really cares what they look like, so why bother, but whatever. Check out my awesome knack for building Sims anyway :-P
It was December 21st, and Molly was going to Hogsmeade for the first time.
Of course, she had gotten permission from Dumbledore, who was basically acting as her guardian, since he now had custody of her.
"So, what is Hogsmeade like?" Molly asked Luna, as they filed out of the Great Hall after breakfast.
"Well, it's really neat. But guess what:
"I give up."
"Hmph. Colin asked me to go to Hogsmeade with him!"
It was all Molly could do to keep from gagging.
"Colin? As in Colin Creevey? As in Wannabe Muggle Photographer?"
"He has great photos, silly. He's so nice."
"And you're so…well…loony."
"Wow, that's the first time I've ever heard that one," said Luna with a laugh.
"So, what are you two going to do today?"
"Well, we figured we could see the sights, you know? He wasn't allowed to go last year because his parents were mad at him, and he's been sick the last couple of trips, but finally, he's going. And he asked me! I'll get to show him everything! This is going to be the best day of my life! He asked ME! I have never been asked to go anywhere with a boy."
Molly wasn't sure if she was disgusted that Luna liked Colin, or if it was just because she was jealous that Neville wasn't going with her.
(A/N do you like my fancy time separator thingie? Aw, it's so pretty)
Hogsmeade turned out to be an awful lot of fun. Since Luna couldn't be torn away from Colin, Molly hung out with Hannah Abbott, Susan Bones, Ernie MacMillan, and Neville instead. They got candy at Honeydukes, some prank-items from Zonko's, and even went up to see the Shrieking Shack.
"Psst. Hannah. Psst!" Molly nudged her in the arm.
"What?"
"Keep Neville busy. I haven't gotten him a Christmas present yet."
"Uh, OK, I guess."
Molly stole away to a bookshop where she found the title: Magical Water Plants of the Mediterranean. Since Neville was so into Herbology, she figured it would be a great book for him. She paid for it, and then, realizing that it was kind of cheap for a Christmas Present, made her way to Honeydukes. There, she got him a box of Fizzing Whizbees.
Neville walked into Dervish and Banges. What was he going to get Molly for Christmas? She was his closest friend. He didn't want to get her something impersonal, a present he could just give to anybody and get the same reaction out of. He wanted to really wow her, to thank her for all the homework she had helped him with. But what to get?
After they had gotten back from Hogsmeade at the end of a long day, Molly was feeling a little flirtatious. Meow.
"Uh, hey Neville, I was wondering if you maybe wanted to help me with Herbology."
"Uh, sure."
"Alright. Right after Potions?"
"Ok."
They worked together, and Molly was glad to be getting "help," even though she completely understood the homework.
"Neville, I was just wondering, uh, if maybe, you wanted to go on the next Hogsmeade trip with me? I think it's sometime in February." Oh shit. Did that just come out of her mouth? What was she thinking?
"Sounds good." Neville looked a little embarrassed.
"Uh, Molly?"
"Yeah?"
"Do you know what you want for Christmas yet?"
"Well, I dunno, really. Just, I don't even really care if I get presents. When I was with the Ma—I mean back in America, I lived in…a mostly Jewish population, and I didn't really get gifts from my friends."
"Oh, alright."
"Yeah."
"Well, I have to get going. I'll—I'll see you tomorrow?"
"Yeah, Care of Magical Creatures."
"Yeah. Uh, see you."
"Bye."
Molly walked back to Slytherin Common Room. Damn. You are such a flirtatious sex kitten,she thought to herself.
Hell yeah.
