And another.... This one is the moment Molly realises that Harry is in love with Ginny...

Molly remembers that look.
She remembers when she first saw it, nearly thirty years ago. She didn’t understand it back then, but some fundamental part of her recognised it, and the way that it electrified every cell of her being.
It was a silly thing, really. She’d been sitting at the Gryffindor table, eating her breakfast and chatting to her friends when she’d felt the weight of Arthur’s gaze from a few seats away. She’d looked up sharply and he’d glanced away, so quickly that she might have imagined he’d ever been looking in the first place.
But he had.
She knew he had.
People had looked at her before, of course. People looked at her all the time. Professors looked at her in class, friends looked at her in the common room and the dormitory, her brothers looked at her across the living room at home, but this had been different.
In the split second that she’d caught his gaze, she’d seen something new there; something different, something weighty. Something that hinted of a whole new world that she’d only ever read about in the romance novels that Aunt Muriel tried to hide on the upper shelves of her library.
Molly Prewett’s world had shifted on its axis in that moment, and something that fundamental leaves its mark. When you’ve seen it once, you don’t forget it, and you always, always recognise it.
That's why, late in the summer of 1995, Molly Weasley recognises it when she sees it again, as she watches Harry Potter discussing the day’s plans for a Quidditch scrimmage with her youngest child and only daughter.
The way that Harry looks at Ginny in that moment tells her everything she needs to know, in a single instant, and she’s instantly delighted. How perfect is it? Her surrogate son and her only daughter! It’s the stuff every mother dreams of!
Of course, she has no idea whether Ginny still reciprocates his feelings, or if Harry even knows how he feels about her, but that doesn’t matter. It’s so reminiscent of that breakfast in the Great Hall, replayed in microcosm over her own kitchen table, that Molly has to turn her back and busy herself with the dishes in the sink, lest anyone should notice her euphoric smile.
That look means something, and Molly is sure that it’s only a matter of time before Harry and Ginny come to understand that just as well as she does,
“Now then!” she beams, spinning around to face them. “Who would like another cup of tea?”

Someday, I will make a post about my decision to begin learning cello and the way it is tied to writing the Lumos Universe, but at present it is too new and precious and vulnerable.
For now, I will say—I did not know many things. You might imagine my abject horror and amusement over my failure to include rosin even once. [You might also imagine, before that, my confusion and alarm when the bow did not make music sounds the first several minutes I spent trying.]
Molly “I cannot believe it, Arthur, how is our house empty... no children making noise... how is it possible?” Weasley

I finally got to draw one of my favourite homes! I absolutely love Burrow. So cosy and warm... And I’m in love with the curious magical things inside, such as the family clock or the ‘living’ bits of the kitchen. What other things could be there??
Anyway. If anyone’s interested, this painting is up for grabs on my Etsy shop! 📮 https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/GhostOfficePrints
Molly and Arthur only ever kept one secret from another and that was that they secretly liked to smoke when times got tough.
Molly's favorite spot to smoke was on the small bench under the kitchen window at the Burrow so that her children wouldn't accidentally catch her smoking
She'd sit there taking a few drags, carefully letting the smoke out of the corner of her mouth
Arthur's favorite spot used to be in his Ford Anglia after work before returning home
He never bought his own pack of cigarettes, he always asked his colleagues and had a bit of a reputation with them
Molly always kept a pack in her purse, the only place she was sure her husband wouldn't look
Sirius once caught Molly secretly smoking in the drawing room by the window and vowed to keep quiet
"Arthur and I have promised to quit smoking when I was pregnant with Bill. He doesn't know I occasionally smoke. It's not much, I swear, and I never smoked in front of my children. It calms me down."
Arthur was once caught by Remus and Tonks in front of Charing Cross Station in an awkward minute while he caught them kissing
"I'm not saying anything, if you don't tell my wife. We promised to quit when Bill was born. I've never smoked in front of my children. And this isn't even my cigarette..."
This hide-and-seek game finally ended after the death of Fred when both threw all caution into the wind confessed that they had been keeping this secret ever since Bill was born
And of course, all her children had always known that their parents were secretly smoking
