This is Molly Weasley.

I don't know the sorts of things people are saying about me lately and, I don't care because what goes on behind closed doors should stay closed, my mother always said. IN FACT, she said so just last week when I was staying with her.

I know I'm not pretty anymore...or if I ever even was but I don't reckon that's got a point to it, either. I know I've got stretch marks all over but that's what comes with seven children and I wouldn't trade them for anything. I know I''m not thin, and I'm not young and I don't have time to make myself up all over the place and I don't expect Arthur is so much the type of man to care about superficial things like that but I suppose he is a man too. I think being a man's wife and raising his children is supposed to make you the most beautiful woman in the world to him, but then I think that maybe that is only true in fairy tales and perfect stories where men fall in love with women forever.....I love those stories, Ginny and I used to stay up too late reading them when I went to tuck her into bed and I'd oversleep and burn Arthur's eggs in the morning.

But I think what I am trying to say is that I think that I read too many of those stories, I know that they are not intellectually challenging, Percy says that, and I really do not read all that many but they let me believe that women grow more beautiful after they have children and start getting grey hairs on their legs that they have to pluck out with a tweezer because they are too small to get with the wand. That is not true I do not think, anyway. I know Arthur likes to look at smart looking young girls and he thinks it is funny when I get upset and or if I get angry and everyone laughs at poor old Molly, taking things too seriously and I suppose, I pretend it does not bother me either.

But what I mean to say is that I know that I am just an ugly old bat, and so it is hard when Arthur is getting neck massages from pretty young girls to understand what is so funny about it. I don't think Arthur is the sort of man who would ever be unfaithful to his wife, but the thought of him even considering doing it, the idea of him thinking about someone else's hands on him and wishing my hands were someone else's or that he could just get away from it all-----that's what I imagine he does, that he wishes he wasn't tied down with a family or he wishes he didn't have too big a conscience to run away with a pretty young thing. The thought of him thinking about someone else's hands on him is just too I guess it hurts too much to think about and then to see him doing it I just had to leave I suppose.

I stayed with my mother for a week and then I came back to the Burrow on account of her saying that I was being silly and I moved into the shed because I don't want to sleep in the same bed as Arthur if he's wishing he was sleeping with someone else. It hurts and I won't do it and I won't stay there if I'm too ugly and not pert or what have you enough and if he wants a pretty young thing then he can just go. Until then I'll be in the shed and I hope all my children know that they are perfectly welcome to come see me and talk to me and I love you all very much but your father is going to have to cook for you I am afraid.

Oh, dearest Molly!!!

I know I am not well acquainted with you but I did read the cards for you and Arthur as your children seemed so upset and I must tell you that I saw NOTHING to indicate that Arthur would ever be less than faithful! I do hope you will be well. He seems so very distressed!

If my powers can aid you in any way please let me know! I would love to be able to restore some harmony to your home!! I should be very careful not to inform you of the DIRE things I have seen for the future; we need only concern ourselves with the happy things for now!

What do you know about it?? All he's done since I've been gone is call me an OLD BAT and then now that I'm back and sleeping in the shed all he cares is that he's not getting his SODDING FOOD. I'm not a bloody servant you know and I don't want to be with someone who only cares about whether or not I'll wait on him and have his dinner ready for him. I used to be so much more than that. I thought if I was gone he would miss me, he would care, but he doesn't at all!!!!!!

You're the most beautiful woman in the world, Mrs Molly Weasley, when I'm in the same room as you everything just fits and I don't have my heart when I'm not with you, you stamped your name on it years ago and I see it every time I look at you and this past week's been hell without you, you're my rock and I mean that in a very non-literal sense because you're my support, you're what keeps me going when I just want to give up and you're always there for me and this last week you haven't been and I can't sleep without you there, please, please come back into the house, love, forgive me.

I'm going to bed now but I've owled you this too just in case you don't come inside and can't read it on the computer but it's something you have to know and I'll keep telling you until we're both six feet under which I hope is a very long time from now, also I imagine the shed's not the most comfortable place to sleep in so you can come in at night and take the bed and I'll sleep in the shed if you'd like.

I'm not going anywhere, my little Miss Molly. Believe me, please.

Your Arthur.

Do you need anything, Mum?

Not taking sides here! But you know, dad's right, you're being silly, even a blind man can tell you dad thinks you are god! Come back in the house before we get poisoned!!
