The Last Day

In all the years of turmoil and danger, there had never been a day that was as tumultuous as this one. Molly Weasley tried to be brave, she really did, but this battle was a test that challenged her nerves so incredibly much, especially when she had her entire family to think about. They were her world, and Molly was terrified they would be taken from her.

It seemed unfair that she once again had to endure this worry, that Voldemort would come back and once more threaten the safety of everyone in the wizarding world. How unjust was it that he should live again when those he murdered in cold blood were to be lost forever. The entire Prewitt clan had been wiped from existence, Molly?s whole family before marriage, and now the only family she had left were in such great and terrible danger.

And terrible events had already befallen the Weasleys in the past. What with Ginny nearly dying in her first year, Bill being attacked by Grayback, and of course George?s ear that Snape cursed off. And it didn?t stop there, Molly hated to think of the multiple times Charlie was in danger every day working with dragons, not to mention all the times that Ron nearly got himself killed just by tagging along with Harry Potter.

And Harry, poor Harry. Molly felt as though he was another son to her already, never mind his relationship with Ginny. And it was him the orphan without a family who always paid the highest price, having lost his entire family with the exception of his cruel Muggle relatives. And it didn?t help either that he was number one of Voldemort?s hit list. But Molly couldn?t dwell on this anymore than she could on her family?s fate, because it wouldn?t help anything.

There was one bright, shining moment that preceded the battle and that was the fact that Percy finally saw sense. Molly could hardly believe her eyes when he showed up out of the blue ready to help with the fight. Percy, the child Molly had cried over many nights, the son who had basically disowned his entire family, had come to make amends at last. She was so overwhelmed with joy that Molly never wanted to stop hugging him. But there was work to be done, and as distasteful as it was it had to be done.

She was anxious about Ginny, Molly didn?t want anything to happen to her only daughter, and the promise that she would stay out of the fighting only partial eased her nerves, but the battle of Hogwarts was starting. There was a dangerous feeling in the air, and it seemed to Molly that the castle itself was shuddering in fear for what was to come. Though that might?ve just been the erratic beating of her frantic heart.

?Arthur,? Molly said to her husband as she held his hand with one of her own, and her other hand help her wand aloft. ?What if??

?Molly,? Arthur started with the tone that he knew all too well what his wife was going to say. ?Don?t think about that.?

?I know,? Molly replied anxiously, her eyes flickering down the hall. ?But.?

Arthur silenced her with a kiss. And then neither of them were able to say anything more because the Death Eaters had arrived. The fight was furious and deadly, their opponents weren?t holding back, and it was all that Molly could do to concentrate. She was a member of the Order of the Phoenix and she was bound and determined to fulfill her commitment to the fullest.

As it turned out there were many close ones, times when Molly almost felt the full impact of a deadly curse, but she somehow managed to position herself in the right places at the right times, and before long she forgot about anything else but dueling the evil wizards.

And then the worst happened, and Molly was quickly brought down to earth with a horrible rea

 

Beautiful! We spend so much time reading from the POV of Harry that we forget what it must have been like for the adults... their concerns, their fears, their pain, their loss...

Brilliant look at Molly's side of things. Bravo!

 

Poor Molly!! I especially like her thoughts as she's fighting Bellatrix.
