helpful gesture.


I caught that, as well, on my second read...I would really love to
have seen more of the kind of response Molly might have had to Mrs.
Delacour in general, actually.  I mean, a half-Veela walks into her
home, makes her husband act like a fool...I'm sure Molly was expecting
to at least have the satisfaction of being better at household spells.
 She probably figured Mrs. Delacour was nothing but beauty, not
capable of half the practical things Molly was used to doing, and then
the woman turns out to be a whiz-bang cleaner.

Of course, we do know that Ron is the one who cleaned the oven in the
first place...but it still must have been a pretty embarassing thing
for Molly!
