è K  Actually talking of that. If the weasley's are so broke
è - why hasn't Molly gone out to work now all her kids
è are at Hogwarts? I mean with only her and Arthur in the
è house during the term time and with magic at her
è disposal, exactly what does she *do* during the day?
è Obviously now she could be doing OoP stuff, but the
è order wasn't reformed till after GoF, so that's three
è years of very little to do.



Good question! Except that now, her time really *is* taken up by OoP work. 
Perhaps she is busy everyday with work for them. We see when she is at Grimmauld 
Place, she often is cooking, and is almost always cleaning when not in 
meetings. It may sound like it is just a continuance of her motherly/housewife 
duties, but someone *has* to perform these tasks. And, I have a sneaking suspicion 
she far more valuable than we know yet.

In GoF, she is one of the first asked for her help by DD. I don't think this 
is a coincidence. I think that Molly hasn't shown us what she can do yet. 

But, as for why she hadn't found employment from CoS to OoP, I do not know. 
Perhaps, she has some kind of work we do not know about?
