molly had taken quite a blow when she found out fred had died. she was the one who had to comfort her kids. comfort ginny because her older brother died. percy because he was with him. bill and charlie for not being there. ron, for not expecting their own family to be hurt. and george, losing a twin brother, a part of himself.

the death of fred took a toll on molly. she grew a habit of skipping meals. taking shelter in her room and crying for hours on end. she became temperamental, snapping at her children for minor inconveniences. any mention of fred sent her into a nervous breakdown.

the loss of fred caused george to hide himself in his room, sleeping in fred's bed. occasionally he would come down to the kitchen, but because of the looks of pity, sympathy, he would quickly turn and retreat into the safety of his bedroom to weep.

arthur had tried to talk to molly, coax her into eating, but she refused. shoulders shaking, she would turn and face the wall. arthur tried, to no avail, to get her to at least move around the room, but molly was too grief stricken to even sit up.

it was only until arthur laud next to her and wrapped his arms around her. he didn't say anything, he knew her well enough to know she would speak when she needed to.

after a while she turned, with her tear filled eyes and trembling lips, and started sobbing. "he was too young, arthur. too young." she cried.

arthur rubbed circles on her back. "i know." he murmured. she continued shaking and arthur let her let out all her emotions.

after a while molly had sat up. "i'm sorry arthur." she said. "no, love. it isn't your fault." he assured her. his eyes were filled with worry and that's what made molly square her shoulders and stand up.

"i think it's time for dinner." she said. she waved her wand, the stick she hadn't held in weeks, and cleared her face. she opened the door with a swish and walked out. arthur let out a shuddering breath.

he knew it was an improvement but molly had a long way to go.

i hope i got this right

i know you said crazy but i don't think molly would seriously go too far. losing a loved one, especially with molly's... stubbornness...? strength? idk, but she's strong.

uh

if you want me to redo it i will.

thank you for the request :)
