Title: Molly
Rating: PG
Genre: General
A/N: Many thanks to my beta shina_laris.
Mother says that the most important thing to remember is that a young lady should always be polite. Father says that the most important thing to remember is that family is more important than anything else. I think that the most important thing to remember is to be kind to everyone you meet. That's why I am so excited that I will be starting Hogwarts in just a few months. The thing I want most is to make a bunch of new friends.
Mother and Father are both purebloods, so they decided to home school Lucy and me. I rarely get to play with children aside from my cousins. Most of them go to Muggle schools, and they tell me the most interesting stories. I wish I could see things like televisions and computers. We only have the Wizarding Wireless, and Mother leaves it on an awful oldies station most of the time.
Rose tells me the best stories, even though she is so much younger than I am. She tells me about faraway places with names like Saudi Arabia and Argentina. These are places filled with people we have never met and probably never will, she says. I can't even imagine that there are that many people in the world. I know almost all of the people in our neighbourhood, and when we go to Diagon Alley I can greet most of the shopkeepers and many of the customers by name. I love meeting new people and I'm always glad to make friends with someone.
Mother says I am too friendly and that it will get me into trouble someday. She says there are bad people out there, people who care nothing about you as long as they can use you to get what they want. When she tells me this she usually stares above my head. I asked Father what she was looking at once, and he told me that she was remembering. Her brother died in the big war years and years ago, Father said, and she feels it was her fault for supporting Muggleborn' rights.
Father lost a brother too, I know. His name was Fred, like my cousin, and he wasn't very close to my father. I know Father misses him though, because when he warns Lucy and me to be careful and not to play with potions or spells or get into fights, he gets the same look Mother does. I feel bad for him, so I try to do what they say and not talk to strangers. It's hard though, especially when everyone looks so nice.
Wouldn't a bad people look bad? My storybooks always show the bad guys as old and ugly, with wrinkled skin and missing teeth. A bad person would never smile at me like the ladies in the lifts and they would never help me out of the Floo like the men who work at the Leaky Cauldron. Everyone must have at least some goodness in them somewhere, because a completely bad person would never be able to wear a happy grin or laugh at a joke.
Mother laughs when I tell her things like that. She pats me on the head and tells me I have lovely dreams, but that I should really be doing my work. Father shakes his head and sighs, murmuring that he once though that too, and didn't the Ministry go and prove him wrong. I don't think it's a silly or stupid idea though, so I'll just keep on believing it.
Maybe there will be someone at Hogwarts who has the same ideas at me. I just can't wait till I am able to attend Hogwarts. I don't really care which House I end up being sorted into. Father was a Gryffindor and Mother was a Ravenclaw. I think being in Hufflepuff sounds nice too. I'm not sure I would like being a Slytherin much, because they sound like they are a little bit mean, but I'm sure I'll like it if the Sorting Hat decides that it’s the best place for me. I just want to be in a House where I will make friends. Victoire and Dominique and Fred are all going to be at Hogwarts with me, so I know that I won't be alone, but it will be a little bit lonely if they are my only friends there. Fred says it is pretty easy to make friends at Hogwarts, because you generally have a lot in common with your House mates, so you get along pretty well.
I won't worry too much though. I'll have my relatives no matter what and it really isn't that hard to make friends with people. Sometimes it can even be fun. I like making friends with all kinds of people, because each person has a story and if you just talk to them you can learn it. Some stories I've learned are sad, like Uncle Fred's. Others, like Mother and Father falling in love and having me and Lucy, are happy stories. I think that, even beyond making friends with people, being happy is what I want to do with my life. It doesn't take much to be happy either, just a good friend or two and some fun times. That is my goal: to live happily ever after.
