Fun.

It would be interesting if Ron were 7th son of 7th son...but it seems 
to me that if he were in fact a seer SOMEthing would have happened in 
Divination class, where after all, the Professor DID have a real live
true prediction about Wormtail (gosh that is so close to Worm Tongue)
returning to Voldemort......

I think the gap might be due to fear/depression...that's when people
don't have sex, because they don't feel good about themselves....or
perhaps Arthur was gone....he might have been on a secret mission for 
Dumbledore or for the Order of the Phoenix..or Arthur and Molly might 
have been on the outs...or it might have been about money...

Maybe one or two of us should take on the role of Molly and Arthur 
for this discussion (helpful in putting ourselves into their mind 
sets) and answer questions...
