Thanks DeeDee, I did not even consider how much time might have or 
have not passed between Arthur getting out of the hospital along with 
how much more he had left until fully recovered.

I thought of the clock and Molly being home because of Dumbledore's 
mentioning it when Arthur was first attacked. So I figured she would 
be spending time at home when ever her duties with the OOP took her 
elsewhere. I never thought of her as being the Order's cook, to me 
cooking, along with cleaning the house was simply something she would 
be doing while she was there. After all she was the only female there 
who seemed capable of cooking. It was part of Molly's nature to make 
sure everyone had a good meal and clean surroundings when ever she 
was around. (Tonks is female, but I can just see a kettle of stew 
flying across the kitchen as she trips over something! I doubt I 
would be letting her cook either! LOL!) 

I was also thinking along the lines that Fred & George would be 
living perhaps over their shop, but then again it is possible they 
could be living back at "The Burrow" since they seemed to get along 
well with both their parents even when their Mother was  pushed to 
her limit by their escapades.

I did wonder why the Weasley's son Bill was not part of the rescue 
group, but then we have never heard much about his actual "fighting 
skills" although we do know he was an excellent student. 

I also would like to offer my apology to this group....
I did not intend for my post to stir up any sort of disagreement and 
was very surprised that my post was treated with the hint of 
worthlessness it recieved from one of the forum members.
I thought this forum was created for discussion about the Harry 
Potter series and to have fun speculating about the different 
characters, situations, what is to come in the next books as well as 
the ending of the series. 
I agree that only JK Rowling knows the who, what, when, wheres and 
WHYS of anyone, anything and ALL that happens in her books. It 
doesn't matter what we think happened or will happen as well as why 
it happens. Mrs Rowling created these characters and the story and NO 
ONE here knows why anyone does what they do or why anything has and 
will happen.
I did not realize members of this forum has to be a member of Mensa 
to join in the discussion. 
So I will simply go back to lurking until I have something 
intellectually challenging and worthy to contribute.
Wishing everyone here GREAT READING....!
