On With The Show, Chapter 6: The Ghoul in pyjamas.

[jemlibris]

Mrs Weasley is chivvying everyone around in preparation for Bill and Fleur's forthcoming wedding, possibly using the excuse to keep Harry, Ron, Ginny and Hermione from getting too chummy. This is inconvenient to the trio who have plans to make.

Hermione has found some useful information about Horcruxes, how they are made and how they are destroyed. She also has sent her parents off to Australia for safety. I've no particular objection to that choice of destination, though some people online (not on this site) have expressed some doubts about this arrangement. Presumably Hermione's parents have watched one too many episodes of Neighbours, and would be too busy admiring the scenery to notice they had a daughter.

Ron's idea of disguising his absence would be to dress up the Weasley ghoul in some pyjamas, and pretend that Ron was at home dying of spattergroit, if passing DE's have any questions about where Ron might be.

What do you think of all these preparations? Would you stage a wedding at home? And is Mrs Weasley hoping to persuade the trio to go back to Hogwarts?

I really found the preparations touching, and a mark of how dedicated the Trio are to Harry, despite how uncertain their future is.

It's interesting to see this dedication, anticipation, and willingness now, and to see how the events turn later as they find out that Harry was really left in the dark about a lot of things, and how this seemingly wonderful adventure is about to really test the Trio.
