Thank you for your review.  I'm glad you think I have a good sense of character; I think it comes from being a parent myself and finding it easy to fall into both Arthur and Molly's shoes.  Even though she seems to be ooc, I was thinking of how Molly reacted to the Boggart in OotP and wrote that passage accordingly.  I appreciate you taking the time to respond to my story.

I'm glad you enjoyed my story.  I like writing the missing moments from the adults' points of view since we don't get that much in canon.  I think that I wrote Molly Weasley the way I did because of how she reacted to the Boggart in OotP.  Thank you for the kind review.

Thanks for your in-depth review.  I appreciate your observations about Molly.  When I wrote her distressed comments to Arthur I was mainly thinking of what the boggart did to her in OotP.  If she has such a fear of losing her husband and sons in the war, it seemed to me that she could be just as fearful of--and more likely to express her feelings--losing Ron to an accident or accidental poisoning.

I thought long and hard about the life debt before putting my opinions into words.  I was thinking about what Severus Snape did for Harry in PS/SS. I interpreted what Prof. Dumbledore told Harry about Prof. Snape’s counter-spells during the first Quidditch match to mean that Prof. Snape believed that by keeping Harry on his broom he had cancelled his life debt to James Potter. Therefore, I had Prof. Dumbledore explain my philosophy that way to Arthur. 

I'm very glad you liked my story.
