Yay I’m halfway through!

I was looking forward to meeting Arthur’s mum, as she sounded rather unusual, and I always love the eccentric characters, as they’re so much fun to read. He really had to go to desperate measures to avoid being seen with her, didn’t he? She did live up to my expectations of her, and I never really thought about what his mother would have been like before, but the slightly clingy, overbearing mother fitted really well! She reminded me of Molly in a way.

I enjoyed meeting Arthur’s family, as they’re rarely mentioned in the books, so it was nice to see them here. I think one of my favourites has to be Bilius, he just provided so many comedic moments, in his silent grumbling. He reminded me of Fred and George, as he refused to work despite his mother pestering him to do so.

I liked the mention towards Voldemort in the muggle deaths, as he was around then, and many people forget that, so that was good.

Aw Arthur he was so desperate to see her, it was adorable! I almost thought that Bilius would say no, and I felt as Arthur would have if that happened. No Molly and Arthur fluff on Christmas! That whole scene made me laugh so much! When Arthur got the wrong window, I thought her dad would have a reaction like Vernon did, when the Weasley’s came in the middle of the night, but it was fine! He sounded like a really nice guy, because I’m sure if my boyfriend came over in the middle of the night, my Dad would blow the roof off!

Then when Fabian woke up! I didn’t expect that, it seemed as if the whole house was intent on ruining their romantic moment. Well I guess part of that was Arthur’s fault, but sill you couldn’t help but feel for them.

I thought this chapter was one of the best so far; it just had the right amount of romance, comedy and embarrassment!

Author's Response: Halfway point!

Arthur's mum is adorable. She's definitely eccentric, but it seems a lot if not most pureblood wizards and witches are like that. Cedrella is a product of her time, too - she's a 1940s/50s sort of housewife. But in a pureblood witch way. She's fun to write. She is a bit like Molly, isn't she? Arthur married his mum haha.

Arthur's family doesn't get much mention - they do say the Weasleys are a large group but then we never meet any of them! Only Molly's aunt/great-aunt (it seems nonspecific on her exact relation, but I think Aunt Muriel is Molly's great-aunt, based on her age at Bill's wedding and Molly's remarks about her). Anyway I enjoyed inventing the Weasleys in Arthur's immediate family. Bilius is the only one mentioned in canon, though he's passed away by then, and is only referred to as Uncle Bilius so I made him Arthur's older brother. I love writing all the Weasleys, but Bilius is especially fun.

Voldemort's rise to power becomes a more prominent storyline in the sequel novel to this. In Unsinkable it's still in the background, but in What It's Worth it's much more a part of their lives, as Voldemort becomes more and more powerful and dangerous.

Arthur really missed her over Christmas, the poor dear. I'm glad you liked the window scene! That was actually the scene that made me turn this into a full novel instead of a short story. I thought that up and wrote it down and had to keep the story going to get to this point.

Thank you so much for the review! I'm really happy you enjoyed the chapter :)
