Review:Aether says:
"Dad, I'm a Quidditch player, okay? There is nothing else out there for me. I just hope someday you can open your mind enough to accept that."

Great chapter. Molly seems really strong, and I like that about her character. However, I felt really sad when she said this quote above, and I began to sort of understand Percy's point of view. I know this is terrible, and he's not being a very good father right now. But I see something disturbing behind Molly's words here. "This is nothing else out there for me" sounds to me like she's putting herself down. To me, it seems that she doesn't think she has the same opportunities in the Ministry or in everyday jobs because of how her height makes her different. I think maybe Percy might've seen the same thing behind Molly's decision. I know Molly doesn't feel like she's compromising, but I can't help feeling that she's not giving herself enough credit, especially in that sentence.

It makes me wonder whether all Molly's practicing and absorption into being a Quidditch Seeker is really just her, in part, compensating for her height. I don't know if I entirely side with Molly right now. Her father is being horrible for not supporting her and speaking rationally with her, but maybe he feels, like I do, that Molly isn't just pursuing Quidditch because she loves it, but also because she's doesn't feel she has other options.

Loved this chapter! Sorry for the rambling. Hah, hah.

Author's Response: I'm really glad you said all this. I definitely understand not siding with Molly at this point--she really isn't very open-minded either, and yet she's criticizing her dad for it. Molly and Percy just aren't seeing eye to eye at this point, but he's definitely got her best interests at heart.

Thanks for your thoughts! I really appreciate the feedback :)
