Not Hell. Not the fights. Not the blood.

OKAY lets talk about this it important. 

Now i’m not saying she was evil, she wasn’t but i do not think she was a nice person but not a great mother and here are my reason. (i go by the books)

i think the biggest one is her treatment of the twins. First let just address the fact she never knew the difference it is noted that even harry could tell the difference. now yes i understand they were identical twins but i’m sure there would have been some difference, their voices their way of being i mean they aren't clones. surly a mother should know her own children. then there is the plain lack of acknowledgement of their talent, yes they misbehaved and had to be held accountable but they were really smart wizards even the professors where impress but because they weren't what she want the completely disregards them., this shows when ron get perfect and she reply greats thats all my sons but the twins nor Charlie where perfects. Then there is that lack of surrport for the joke shop, now yes i understand they didn't go around somethings right, and i get a mother wanting a more stable career path for her sons and a new business is hard but they didn't do this on a whim it was clear this was always the plan and they had a business at Hogwarts they knew what they were doing. But rather than sit down and try to understand her sons and help them like any mother would do she get rid of all their products that took them ages to make and then compares them to their bothers. 

Next big one is Fleur. now that girl did not deserve the treatment from molly. she connately looked down on her, accused her of using her powers to get bill to marry him. she then continued to say they were only getting married so soon out of fear that they would die in the war when it was then pointed out that she herself did the exact thing during the first war. And during the battle in Half blood prince when bill is left with all those scars she implies that fleur will leave him now to which she reply i have enough beauty for the both of us. only then does she warm up to her, but she allows ginnys behaviour dare i say bulling to go on with reprimand. 

Next - Controlling we see it throughout the books who she tries to control her children into her vision for them but its most obvious with the clock, which literally track all her children movements now yes i understand wanting to know where they are but once they hit 15+ you have to give them trust it is not healthy to track and control almost living through them i think. just think about it this way if you hear a mother was tracking her teenager though their phone you would understand but still think it was creepy right? 

Next comparing her children, i touched on it when talking about the twin, but you see it throughout the books and think the best way to see the effect it has is ron in the first book he is happiest when he is like his older brothers head boy like bill and quidditch captain like Charlie. you just don’t do that.

Next - treatment of ron. now he wasn’t abused like harry but he was neglected to an extent, ron never got his own wand until they were forced to get him one, yes they were poor but EVERYONE else go their own wands but him, they got Percy a owl when ron could have gotten his wand since it was common knowledge the wand picks the wizard, then we got the the hand me down robes fo the yule ball, bare in mind the twins aren't giants in the books they are around the same height. But ron get the embarrassing robes, its a lack of care really then the howler which only propose was to embarrasses ron she could have checked him in more decent  ways but no she sends a howler at breakfast where everyone was the shout at him, and she knew he couldn't be alone because she add ginny to the note. 

Next - not know her own children perfence / or not caring. this is noted when ron get another purple jumper while harry get a quidditch themed one. she also gives ron corn-beefed sandwich which he hates and would have surly said to her at some point.

Okay so here me out but i don’t think Percy is the “bad” one out of the Weasley family. 

YES he did things wrong and he turn his back on his family, but lets not pretend the Weasley family was healthy. 

I feel though he just wanted to stand out from his older brothers who where both very successful in the endures. let not forget how molly liked to compare her children and have them fit into HER ideals and goals for them, which can be seen in her treatment of the twins. 

I totally see her putting pressure on him as a teenager YES he was ambitious and YES he was a buzzkill but he was also way too mature for his age, like he didn't get a childhood, those behaviours are learnt. he was stuck in the middle alone ; Bill had Charlie, Fred had George and Ron had ginny. everyone had some one in their age group to play and socialise with, WHICH is so important for a growing child, thus being alone he did the next best thing he adopted the behaviours of his parents and unintentionally “grew up” we see this in the 3rd book when he watches over harry, even tho every professor was already doing this molly still asked her 16/17 year old Child to watch over harry when a serial killer was after him and i’m positive he didn’t know what danger he would be put in. But why did he just obey well he wanted his mothers attention it was empowering gave him a sense of acknowledgement. which leads me to my next point. 

He was the forgotten one, there are references in the books where molly doesn’t punish the twin when they bully, YES BULLY him over and over again (Boys will be Boys behaviour) she forgets his birthdays, and i think what started his journey was on graduation from Hogwarts, Mr Weasley took his pervious sons to lunch to celebrate. but not for Him as he was working. and then what sealed the deal was his fathers reaction to his promotion, yes i understand Arthur’s thinking, but his son freshly out of school who had been working hard his whole life got a promotion and a really good one and the first thing he thought of was harry and the order he could just put a smile on and say well done son i’m proud of you. And really that all he wants. so of course he going to give his loyalty to the people in his eyes have put in effort and actually care about him. because if we are being unbiased that shit is toxic and he cut them ties. 

And when it became clear he was on the wrong side he could have just stayed you know he made his bed now its time to lie on it, No he sallowed his pride and went to help at the battle, no idea how they would react or if they would even welcome them but he went because all he wanted was to help. 

In conclusion Percy Weasley was a lonely boy who grew up to quick. A boy who tried to live up the his brothers and also set a good example for his younger siblings.  A boy who was often forgotten and overlooked by his parents. A boy who found a family/origination who did give hime the attention he craved. A boy who in the end did the right thing by his family. 

Can i just say i love Fred, if i could i’d marry him. But my dude he wasn't just a goofy kid. 

First of all although the twins where very slimmiar they weren't clones they had their differences and if you read the books you will know it. 

Fred was more out going, charismatic more of the leader in the duo, we see this in the books where he is mentions almost 200 times more than George, showing he is usually the one to make the first impression. and lets not forget he always speaks first and George second, after all its ‘Fred and George’

He is generally more funnier and wittier, again this is shown in the book with him have more witty one liners, come backs and instigation the jokes and pranks.

He also reacts on emotion, has less self control we see this when reference to his childhood when he changes rons teddy into a spider for breaking his toy broom, and trying to trick ron into doing the unforgivable curse and we also see this emotional ‘act before thinking’ with the bagman betting situation. 

He Could have been in Slytherin- okay here me out? 

He was ambition, running a business while at school, even tho his mother forbade him and later umbridge too he still found ways to achieve his goals. 

he also had a ‘by any means to achieve his goal’ outlook we see this with the testing on first years, but he also always thought it through, like with the car in the second book he had a plan for getting back without being notice and when confronted by his mother he replied “ it was dark and the car was invisible no one would have saw us” he had a goal and he found a way to achieve no matter the consequences.  we later see this in the 4th book when he “accidentally” drops a product for Dudley to eat. he knew from harry he was on a diet and would eat anything, he also needed to know what would happen if any of their products got in the hands of muggles, so he created a plan and exacuted it- this shows his cunning side and we also see this throughout the book with how they manage to get away with a lot.

Not only does it fit cleanly within my little AU perfectly, but it's just a joy all on its own! Been repeating the episode constantly, especially the therapy scene. I've repeated it so much that I notice a bunch of little details. I notice the mask speeds up right as ENA begins admitting her true feelings, which I interpret as the reason being the mask desperately trying to halt her from speaking openly, but unable to actually do anything as it's no longer connected to her and cracking horribly at that. Not only that, I paid SO much attention to the music in the whole scene! The music seems to be generally soothing, but as she admits her true feelings, the music turns mournful, reflecting the distress she's feeling. Once the mask breaks, the music returns to normal.

I also noticed that most seem to interpret ENA's response to the therapists words of wisdom as a negative reaction or dismissing it, but I don't think she is. I think she genuinely took up the advice... albeit with a strange response.

See? Look at that smile!

Reminds me of how most misinterpret Moony's bet offer in temptation stairway the first time as whoever loses has to pay the debt of the winner. It's easy to be confused by the wording. I think she meant by "How little they are" in an endearing way, as if she was thinking of a cute puppy.

It's almost funny. She was confused earlier by the wall person shedding tears of joy, and here she is. Having her own tears of joy.
