Now then. On to a completely different point. I'm highly suspicious 
of our dear mother!Molly. I think there must be something she does, 
other than blunder around an empty house hold. Now, I haven't re-
read GoF yet, so there might be canon in there that I have mentally 
blocked. But really, any witch with a solid Hogwarts education 
doesn't seem like she would be content at home doing basic things... 
Can you imagine Hermione sitting idly at home? I can't even see 
Lavender keeping a wizard house and not doing other things. We know 
Dumbledore trusts her. He's likely to give her something to do from 
now on. What I want to know is what she's been doing for the last 
three years!! Any thoughts? Canon to make me look dumb?

Becky, who is slightly perturbed.
