Martha,
After I posted that last message, I noticed something...
I think there's some inconsistency in the matter of Ron's grandmothers
in the Checkmate universe. In Keeper's Snitch, Ron says:
"When I was really small, my Gran used to tell me that fairies had
kissed me in the cradle and tried to give me wings." He snorted, but
it was a half-hearted sound. "Not true, of course. I was breach-born
– feet first, you know? – and early too. The midwife had to help me
along and something she did – did that. My other Gran, Mum's mum,
kicked up a fuss when she saw it and made Mum keep me covered up all
the time. She said it was a bad omen."
But in The Kissing Bough, Maevi says (about Molly):
"I've met her a time or two in the past. She didn't much like having
a mother who went off into trances and made prophecies; a very
conventional sort of girl was Molly." She shrugged. "Some youngsters
are like that, it's reactionary, a kind of defiance. But Lillian was
never one for coven life, you know, she's more of a kitchen-seer - all
teacups and crystal balls, although that's well enough if it works for
her. And it does." She looked thoughtful. "Is there any sign that
the lad has the Sight? It'd certainly explain a lot, if he has it and
he's repressing it. I'd wager cobnuts to Sickles he would repress it,
with Molly for a mother. But if he's gifted, why doesn't Lillian do
something?"
At the end of The Kissing Bough, it's Grandma Prewett who greets Ron
as "my fairy prince." It's also Grandma Prewett whom Peter says cast
all the Weasley children's horoscopes when they were born (in Earthly
Pleasures).
So I'm assuming that the reference in Keeper's Snitch was wrong.
Simple enough to fix; change "Mum's mum" to "Dad's mum" and it's taken
care of.
Take care.
