Thank you, as always for all your comments, I love reading them. The idea for this chapter came from WoonSocket, although not quite the full chapter of letters suggested, hopefully it works!
Dear Mum,
The Twins appear to have caught the eye of Lady Fawley, I am unsure as to what purpose, however as the Lady in question hexed the Headmaster in full view of the Great Hall, I would urge you to have caution allowing them to accept her favour. Ron managed to acquit himself well, however she spared him no special interest, which may be for the best.
You may not be aware but Lady Fawley is the newly styled Hermione Granger-Snape's maternal grandmother. It behoves me to request you keep a close eye on Ronald as a result, in case the Lady's instability rubs off on her granddaughter.
There are many things at Hogwarts that are currently concerning, with Miss Granger-Snape in the middle. Just Friday last, a man rumoured to be Professor Croaker of the Department of Mysteries, appeared in the Great Hall and bewitched poor Professor McGonnagal into pointing her wand at our much beleaguered Headmaster. She was properly chastened by none other than Professor Snape. The fact that the rumoured Professor Croaker proceeded to hug Miss Granger-Snape and sit with her at breakfast makes it all the curiouser.
There are unsubstantiated rumours that the Headmaster gave Miss Granger-Snape a time turner but that seems preposterous. I do not know what she is up to but given my younger siblings relationship with her I ask you to proceed with caution. Know that I shall be monitoring the situation closely,
Your Son,
Percy.
Father,
I write to you hoping you and mother are both well. I am unsure as to whether you have heard but Lady Fawley all but declared a feud with Professor Dumbledore. She accuses him of giving her Granddaughter, the newly found Hermione Granger-Snape, a time turner! It seems ludicrous but given the appearance of Professor Croaker on Friday accusing him of the same thing, I felt I should inform you. One must wonder if one is safe at Hogwarts if the Headmaster is putting children at risk like that, especially given that it appears her father was unaware.
Please send along some of Lolly's shortbread,
Your dutiful son,
Marcus.
Marcus Algernon Flint II.

Marcus.
I have begun enquiries. Rest assured if the Headmaster is no longer up to the job it shall be dealt with. Keep me informed of any other unusual happenings. And perhaps an eye on the new Miss Granger-Snape. I gather she is in a relationship with Theodore Nott?
The girl holds a concerning amount of influence given her previous status, I am led to believe that the Malfoy's are her godparents and she holds names from several prominent families in her acquaintance. You need not concern yourself with the Weasley's and the Longbottom boy, they are a lost cause but perhaps keep an eye on the young Mr Nott, as well as the elder Miss Greengrass and the young Malfoy. It would not do for the girl to taint them with her muggle-raised ways.
Your mother sends her affections and advises Lolly's shortbread will accompany her next letter. She informs me she will send it as soon you write to her and include more than just a request for treats.
Your father,
Morrison Algernon Flint III
Papa!
I know I only wrote to you yesterday but honestly, you wouldn't believe what happened today! Lady Fawley hexed the Headmaster! He has the most horrifying face when it's hairless, especially if one adds in orange boils. Truly, please send some dreamless sleep, we'll all be having nightmares after that! It seems to confirm the rumours that started on Friday that he gave Hermione Granger-Snape a time turner. What do you suppose Professor Snape did to upset him so much he'd try to kill his daughter?
Write back soon,
Love Pansy.
My Flower,
I have enclosed the requested dreamless sleep. And I am making enquiries. Rumour has it that Professor Snape has recently taken a stand against the Headmasters meddling. It is understood that he wishes to control Miss Granger-Snape due to her use to Harry Potter. I will continue to probe those in the know. In the meantime, keep your eyes open for any more unusual happenings, your friend Daphne might be of service there,
Your loving father,
Peregrine Carlisle Parkinson.
Mum,
This place is insane! Remember all the stuff with the Chamber of Secrets last year, well this year everyone seems to have it out for the Headmaster. Don't worry, it's all been pretty funny and no harm has been done.
He seems to have given Hermione-remember I told you about her, it was her brother Harry's birthday thing I went to with all the people who'd never been to the cinema. Anyway he seems to have given her a time turner- it does exactly what it says on the tin and turns time back. Which is wicked really. Although he seems to have done it without her Dad knowing. Which seems stupid, remember I said her Dad's Professor Snape? He's bloody terrifying Mum! And apparently there's a whole load of laws and regulations around them in case you turn back and meet yourself and think youve gone insane or you know…kill yourself off.
Anyway it wasn't her Dad that was angry, or maybe he was, it's hard to tell with his face sometimes. But first, the Head of the Department of Mysteries comes in and checks on her (He's a really, really big deal!) and then Professor McGonagall goes mental. Professor Snape had to stop her hexing Professor Dumbledore. I've never seen her lose her temper like that, not even when Fred and George left catnip toys in her office and we caught her playing with them in cat form. Although I suppose she couldn't really put Dumbledore in detention.
And then…..oh Mum I wish I could have taken a picture, Hermione's Gran, Lady something or other comes in and she hexed him! Covered him in boils, tripped him up with his robes and hexed him bald. He's really quite scary looking without his beard to be honest. Sort of like Uncle John but with a pointier chin and less obvious teeth. Oh and she hexed his nails to grow. They were longer than that womans in the Guinness World Records book!
Mr Malfoy, I think he's a school Governor, seemed to remember that he should probably stop her after all that. It was the funniest thing seeing him running over to her. He sort of….pranced? I dunno. Reminded me of those poncy horses you see competing on the telly. I don't think he runs often. Neville's Gran told the Headmaster that she couldn't blame Hermione's Gran for hexing him. The look on his face would have been funny but it was a bit hard to look at him with that chin and all the orange boils. I'm really sad no one told him he'd been Tangoed. That would have been so funny!
Anyway, I'll try to write soon,
Dean.
Dean,
I must confess to being quite concerned about what you term harmless. What sort of safety measures are there in that school that the Headmaster can just be attacked like that?
Although maybe I should be asking what sort of school puts teenage girls in danger like that? Is your Headmaster well?
Thank you for your enclosed picture, it gave Sarah a giggle, although you were right, if he looked anything like what you drew, he does indeed resemble Uncle John. Clearly magic can't fix everything.
Do let me know if there are any more incidents, that French school and the American one are still options, you know.
Love
Mum.
Father,
I don't think I understand what's going on. Some old woman hexed Dumbledore. He was furious but she seemed to be close to the Mudblood Granger. But if she was a muggle how would she get into school? Draco says Snape's her dad now but I don't really understand that either. Snape's not a mudblood and he hated her. Although he didn't put her in detention when she answered him back the other day….do you think she's cursed him?
Dumbledore gave the mudblood a time turner. Do you think he was hoping she'd just kill herself and save us the bother?

Vincent,
Keep your head down and do not interfere. All you need to know is that the witch is indeed Professor Snape's daughter and the Headmasters continued meddling only encourages him to remain on our side. We do not want him to reconsider, a concern many of us have had due to his daughter's relationship with Harry Potter. She was stolen as a baby by filthy muggles, however her mother is a Fawley and although not quite pure she is no more a mudblood than you are. It remains to be seen whether she is a blood traitor.

Aunt Amy,
Did you know Hermione was given a time-turner? Lady Fawley hexed Professor Dumbledore for it and Saul was here on Friday for the same reason. Was he really trying to hurt her?
Susan.
ALBUS DUMBLEDORE!
HOW DARE YOU PUT MY GODDAUGHTER AT RISK LIKE THAT! YOU GOT OFF LIGHTLY WITH AUNT ANNALISE! IF I GET MY HANDS ON YOU I'LL BE SURE TO REMIND YOU THAT I WAS ONCE A BLACK! I AM WATCHING YOU YOU INCOMPETENT OLD GOAT! YOU PUT MY FAMILY AT RISK AGAIN AND I WILL SEE IT AS ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF A FEUD BETWEEN OUR HOUSES AND ACT ACCORDINGLY!
The entire Great Hall sat in silence in the wake of Narcissa's howler. Beside him, Minerva was shaking slightly with silent laughter.
"God, these pair students who must be bloody wondering what they've let themselves in for! No here five minutes an' the Headmaster is being threatened, hexed and shouted at!"
Severus rolled his eyes, hiding his smirk. In truth it was far, far less brutal than he would have imagined from Cissa. His smirk faded as Amelia stormed into the hall dressed in uniform with a look of absolute fury on her face. Fuck, she was heading his way.
"What did you do?" Remus murmured.
"I….fuck I dont know!" he stuttered, wondering when the fuck they had turned into people who had civil conversations. It was fucking unsettling. Bloody Hermione asking him to be civil and now he had a fucking pet wolf…..he almost laughed at the thought, perhaps Lupin considered him his pet bat? Maybe he should look into animagus training. He'd been too fucking scared before that he'd end up as a fucking doe. He'd never have lived that down. Severus Snape, all round bastard transformed into a pretty little female deer. No. A raven sounded much better. The wings would be nice. Not that he needed them but still….it was a more socially acceptable way to fly than just levitating willy nilly and startling people.
Beside him, Remus snorted. "May I suggest figuring it out quickly and apologising?"
Albus was watching the approaching witch warily, clearly wondering if she was here to shout at him too but she never moved her eyes from Severus.
"A word. Now." she bit out as she reached the staff table, her face hard in her fury. It wasn't a look he had seen directed his way for a while. It almost made him want to just apologise for everything bad he'd ever done in the hopes of making it go away. Although if he started that, that look was likely to get worse, not better. Would every derogatory remark aimed at a student need to be apologised for or would one blanket apology do? He'd need several hours for Longbottom alone if he had to do it individually. And really, he'd already apologised to the boy and he was now behaving like the adult he was supposed to have been all along so maybe he could miss him out?
Deciding it was probably best not to keep her waiting lest she decide to take a leaf out of Annalise's book and make a scene in the Great Hall, he nodded quickly, standing to move from the room. He saw Harry and Hermione trade a look with Susan out as he approached the doors.
"This might be my fault," Susan murmured. He wasn't brave enough to stop to find out why she thought so as he wracked his brain in an attempt to figure out why Amelia was so upset.
Once outside the Great Hall, Amelia hauled him into an alcove, casting a series of spells, only some of which he recognised.
"Explain." She barked like she was in an interrogation room and not half squashed into him in the world's smallest space. Couldn't she have let them get to his rooms or even an abandoned fucking classroom where there was at least room to move, this was absurd.
He held up his hands placatingly as best he could in the small space, he was pretty sure he ended up feeling her boobs but it was probably best not to comment on that. He might be a eunuch before long if he did and he didn't really fancy that. "Perhaps a hint of what I'm supposed to be explaining?" he hedged.
Amelia's scowl darkened. "Explain to me why I had to hear about Hermione's time turner from Susan!"
Severus' eyes widened. Fuck. "I…ah I meant to tell you, it just got….lost in the excitement of the weekend."
"Am I supposed to believe that?"
"In my defence, it was an usually eventful weekend." he muttered petulantly.
"Severus!" she growled.
He sighed, "I'm sorry, truly. I never meant to keep it from you. I was just slightly blindsided by it and then Saul's reaction… I had forgotten about the Mark removal until he reminded me minutes before it actually happened which obviously complicated things further. It wasn't a conscious decision not to tell you"
Her frown softened slightly. "See it doesn't happen again. Why is Albus still alive?"
"Because I haven't had five minutes peace to bloody poison him." he muttered sardonically.
"Don't use poison, they'd expect that from you." she chided.
Startled, he laughed. "Yes well, I probably won't have to do anything. I spent Friday preventing Saul and Minerva murdering him and Annalise came close on Monday. Today Cissa sent a howler. I'm genuinely surprised she hasn't taught Jean…..fuck. Jean!" His eyes widened in panic as he realised he had not actually told his daughters other parents.
"You haven't told her?" Amelia breathed, horrified, her ire disappearing in the face of his clear stupidity.
"No! Eventful weekend, remember!"
Slowly Amelia began to laugh until she was near hysterical, holding onto his shoulder for balance. Not that she could fucking go anywhere. There was no bloody room! "Oh! Oh gods, please let me witness that meeting. Fuck, love, shes going to fucking murder you!"
"I'm glad you find the thought so funny." he groused.
Still laughing Amelia nodded, "Its fucking hilarious! She's this tiny little muggle woman and you…..oh my gods you're Severus Snape and she scares you!"
"That harridan scares anyone with sense!"
Amelia snorted. "I hope Narcissa helps her create a howler."
"No! She'd send two, one to me and one to Albus!"
At that Amelia lost any semblance of her regained control, laughing until she cried. "Gods I needed that." she giggled, wiping her tears.
"Why?" he asked, frowning.
"Eventful weekend, remember?" He huffed, rolling his eyes. "Is it truly still that hard to believe you have people who care for you?" she asked gently.
He froze, wondering how honest to be. "Honestly, often yes it is. My life is….bizarre. I have acquired two, almost three children, a Saul, you, something akin to older siblings crossed with fucking parents in the Drs Granger, a far more interfering Minerva, and by some really fucking odd turn of fates, a civil wolf. Oh….and Moody was fucking polite on Tuesday." he looked at her genuinely bewildered, "Alastor Moody. Polite. To me. Part of me wonders whether this is a particularly vivid dream."
"You dream of Alastor often?" she replied cheekily. Scowling he growled at her, making her laugh. "Come along grumpy, let's get out of this alcove before we start rumours. When do the Mind Healer sessions start?"
"Harry and Hermione's start on Friday."
"And yours?" she prodded.
"He scowled. "I have yet to confirm an appointment."
Amelia looked at him sharply. "You promised Hermione. Don't make me do it for you. Or better yet, tell Hermione and let her do it."
"You wouldn't!" he gaped at her. That was a fucking low blow, Hermione would be furious and he wasn't altogether sure what Saul had been teaching her. He definitely didnt want to find out because she was fucking cross.
Arching a brow she stared him down until he began grumbling about being surrounded by fucking bossy witches "You love it." she replied breezily, "Now, I expect to hear you have an appointment booked for next week at the latest, it'll do you the world of good." Bouncing up on toes she kissed him quickly and slipped out of the alcove before he could respond. Bloody infuriating woman.
Dear Percy,
Thank you for your letter, I have written to Professor McGonagall to determine what actually happened. I too am concerned about the twins being influenced by a woman who appears to be unstable.
If you could let me know if Hermione causes any more disquiet, and perhaps encourage your brother and Harry to seek better friends. I am sure that Professor Dumbledore is in no way responsible for giving the girl a time turner, perhaps in light of her adoption she is feeling the need for attention? I cannot imagine that Professor Snape is an overly involved parent, despite appearances when he left us before school.
I will write to Albus and convince him to allow us to host poor Harry over Christmas and the summer. The further away from the drama and Hermiones machinations, the better for the poor boy.
I also find it inconceivable that the Head of the Department of Mysteries is visiting a girl previously thought to be muggle born. What an absurd suggestion. I shall enquire when I write to the Headmaster and Professor McGonagall who he truly was.
Your loving mother.
Minerva,
I hope you are recovering well from your recent curse. Percy was most concerned. I too am concerned about the goings on at Hogwarts and I hope you can put my mind at rest.
Percy tells me that there are rumours of Professor Croaker visiting Hermione, of course, that is absurd, especially as he is of the belief that the imposter cursed you into raising your wand at Albus. I was quick to assure him that that was impossible, however might I inquire as to who the man was and the steps you've taken to ensure he cannot re-enter Hogwarts?
He also wrote of a disturbing incident whereby Lady Fawley hexed Albus. Is he alright? Is the poor woman getting help now? I can only conclude that she is unwell. In light of this, I am concerned about her interest in my sons, he tells me she sought out the twins? Please reassure them that they need not humour the unwell at the cost of their own safety.
I will also be writing to Albus to request Harry come and stay with us over Christmas and the summer. It sounds like Severus has his hands full with his daughter, and perhaps some bonding time will help settle the poor witch who appears to be acting out for attention. Attempting to convince everyone Albus gave a time turner to a child! Honestly!
It was wonderfully kind of Severus to take him over the past summer but given his tolerance for children, I cannot imagine it was enjoyable for anyone. We will gladly take that burden from his hands, not that Harry is a burden, of course.
Yours,
Molly.
Albus,
I hope you are well given your startling attack. The nerve of the woman implying you'd ever put a student at such risk as to entrust them with a time turner! I do hope she has been either appropriately punished or given the appropriate medical help.
I am also writing to invite young Harry to the Burrow over Christmas and Easter. It was unfortunate he was left in Severus' care this summer but we can rectify that now. He must have his hands full with his daughter, she appears to be adjusting poorly. I do hope he gets her the help she clearly needs.
Yours,
Molly.
Severus watched with fascination as Minerva's face turned red and then white with fury, her hands shaking as her eyes darted over the letter in front of her.
"Are you all right?" he murmured.
"No!" she spat. "That….that….interferin', sanctimonious….cow!"
Severus blinked at her, next to him Remus dropped his cutlery in surprise. "Pardon, Minerva?"
"Molly -holier-than-thou- Weasley!"
Severus' eyebrows hit his hairline. "She's harmless, surely? I never got the impression she was anything but slightly overbearing. What on earth has the woman said to upset you so much?"
Minerva thrust the lettier into his hands. He read it slowly, the rage steadily building until he got the part where Hermione was called attention seeking and it almost boiled over. He stood, his chair clattering to the ground when he finished it.
"I want to read your reply." he ground out. "And then I suggest I am kept away from Madam Weasley, lest her children find themselves motherless." At that he stalked from the room, not noticing Remus pick up the letter he had dropped or hearing the growl that escaped the man as he read it until it's conclusion..
Harry and Hermione shared a look before rushing out after him.
"Father! Father, for Merlin's sake slow down, your legs are longer than ours!" Hermione called as they ran.
Breathing deeply and trying to occlude, he paused, allowing them to catch up. "Are you alright, Severus?" Harry hedged.
"Not exactly," he bit out, sounding far more like the Professor Snape of their first year than he had in months. They both recoiled slightly, making him wince. "Minerva had an upsetting letter that should never have been sent."
"Ok…."
Severus rolled his eyes. "Come with me. It appears we are long overdue a conversation."
Scampering after him, they followed him to his rooms. "Sit." he instructed, pacing slightly and ignoring the children's worried looks.
"Um…Father?"
Pinching the bridge of his nose, he sighed. "Mrs Weasely intends to request you stay with them over Christmas and next summer. I believe she has already written to the Headmaster."
Harry froze. "But…he can't authorise that, can he?"
"No. He cannot. I cannot promise he won't try but legally, the decision rests with me."
"Ok…And you want to know, what? If I want to go? You want me to go? I don't really understand what you're saying."
"The choice is yours." He replied slowly, "Hermione informed me that you spoke about adoption. However, you need to know you have other options. Mrs Weasley is one of them, as you are aware, Augusta Longbottom is another. Adoption is….final. It is not a decision to be made lightly."
"I…." Harry looked at him bewildered, "I still don't think I understand. Do you want me to stay with someone else?"
"What? No!"
"Then….what are you saying?"
"For fucks sake, I am not good at this!" Severus groaned "If you wish me to adopt you when the year is up I will. There may be….backlash from others but I can handle that. I do not want you to agree just because you are worried you have no other choice."
Harry's jaw dropped, "You're a bloody idiot at times." he muttered, before he stood and hugged him. Severus froze for a moment before returning the hug, trying not to cry. "I….I don't think I want to change my name though."
Severus snorted, "As amusing as the reactions would be, I understand."
"Why did Mrs Weasley inviting me to stay make you so angry?" Harry asked letting him go.
Severus paused considering how best to answer that. "She….made some assumptions about me, your Grandmother, Saul and Hermione. It wasn't necessarily that she wanted you to visit, you are friends with many of her children, a visit would not be out of the question. I took issue with assuming I did not want, nor could I cope with two children and her blind faith that the Headmaster could not possibly be at fault for the events of the last few days."
"What did she say about Hermione?" Harry asked his voice hard.
"It is not important. Minerva will correct her wrong assumptions."
"No. It is." Harry insisted.
Severus sighed, "She accused Hermione of being unsettled due to my reappearance in her life and of being attention seeking given that Albus would never have considered giving her a time turner."
"She said what?" Harry exploded. "How dare she!"
"Yes well….as I said Professor McGonagall is going to correct the assumptions." Severus attempted to soothe.
"No. I'll write to her myself."
"Dont." Hermione interjected softly.
"Did you hear what your father said she said about you?" Harry demanded, whirling to face her. Hermione's face was carefully blank although her posture was rigid.
"Yes. But if you write to her in this mood, Ron will have something to say. So don't. It doesn't matter."
"Of course it matters!"
"It doesn't. I imagine that many people will and have said worse." she clipped.
Harry froze, looking at her properly for the first time. "No," he stated. "No you're not doing that. I'm writing to Mrs Weasley and if Ron has an issue with it that's on him." He moved to hug her. "You're my sister and no one gets to say horrible things about you. Especially not people who should be old enough to know better and who don't really know you at all."
Hermione sighed, leaning into the hug. Severus noticed that she kept her mouth shut this time.
Molly,
I am well thank you, Lady Fawley was just confused. I'm sure young Harry would be delighted to stay with you over Chiristmas and over the summer. For what it's worth, you have my wholehearted approval. I will let you write to the boy yourself.
Your friend,
Albus.
Molly,
I must confess to being confused by your recent letter and I feel it is my duty to correct a number of assumptions you appear to have made.
Albus did indeed give Miss Granger-Snape a time turner. He did not inform Severus nor was he truthful with the Unspeakables.
Saul Croaker was at Hogwarts, he has a wonderful relationship with Hermione and he hopes she will complete an apprenticeship with him before her school years are complete. He was in no way responsible for my anger. I was, and am, enraged that Albus would put a student at risk of serious harm the way he did with Miss Granger-Snape. It is inexcusable.
To put your mind at ease, Lady Fawley is no more unwell than I am. She would be a wonderful patron to the twins, being in possession of more than her fair share of mischief. It is your right to refuse her, as their guardian, however I would urge you to think of your sons' future if you do. Albus consciously put her granddaughter at risk of severe harm or death. Surely as a mother you understand why she became so enraged?
As for Mr Potter, I suggest writing to Severus, not Albus. Albus has no say over the boy after Severus took over his guardianship during the summer. I assume I need not remind you how his muggle relatives treated him? Your children did, after all, rescue him from a prison-like room before second year if their stories are to be believed.
Mr Potter and Miss Granger-Snape share a sealed sibling bond so I'm afraid it is unlikely that Severus will relinquish the boy for the entirety of the holidays; he may, if you mind your manners, allow Mr Potter to visit, or invite your children to their home. I am led to understand that several children visited them over the summer. If you doubt my word, Augusta, I'm sure, would be happy to confirm.
Lastly, I am enraged to hear your assumption about the type of parent Severus is! He is a wonderful father to both of those children and they are lucky to have him. Five minutes in their company and you cannot miss how much they adore one another. He certainly would never dare assume he understood an entire situation from one letter or disparage a teenage girl he barely knew. I would suggest that you apologise to Hermione and Severus before you invite Harry anywhere, they are unlikely to be receptive otherwise.
Minerva McGonagall.
Deputy Headmistress Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Jean & Richard,
I hope this letter finds you well. I apologise for not writing sooner, things have been…busy these last few days. I am unsure as to whether Narcissa has already mentioned it in her correspondence, however the Headmaster allowed Hermione to use a time turner to enable her to take all available classes. I know that you are aware of the device thanks to Saul, what you may not be aware of is how stringently they are controlled due to safety concerns, including, but not limited to, risk of harm or death. .
In order for Albus to obtain one, he first lied to the Department of Mysteries and then to Hermione herself. I have since confiscated the item and streamlined her timetable.
Severus.
Harry,
I am writing to invite you to the Burrow over Christmas and the summer holidays. I understand you spent the last summer with Professor Snape and while I'm sure he did his best, he has never hid his dislike of children.
We would all be thrilled to have you,
Love Molly
Mrs Weasley,
I am afraid I must turn down your invitation to the Burrow, I'll be spending the holidays with my sister and our family at our home. Severus has been a wonderful guardian so far, contrary to popular belief he does not dislike children, he just has to remain strict in his classroom due to the volatile nature of the subject. I imagine parents would complain if their children blew up.
I was upset to hear the accusations about my sister and my grandmother. Both are brilliant witches. Hermione has adapted really well and her muggle parents are very much involved in all of our lives, they have a close relationship with Professor Snape and they have gone out of their way to include me in their interests and family time. Grandmother has accepted me wholeheartedly and I cannot blame her for being upset with Professor Dumbledore. He put Hermione at insane risk, lied to the Unspeakables and to Hermione herself. She had no idea how dangerous time turners were and he led her to believe Professor Snape knew she had one.
I'm sure now you know, an apology to Professor Snape, Hermione and our Grandmother will be arriving soon.
Harry Potter.
Severus,
We expect you at 6 for dinner tonight.
Jean.
The Molly bashing just sort of happened, I hadn't intended to! Sorry if its not for you...she just sort of lends herself to it really well...
