In some more extreme fanfiction scenarios, she might use a magical object like a broomstick to swat at Harry. However, this would be a very out - of - character action for Molly in most cases, but in the realm of fanfiction where creativity runs wild, it could be a possibility. She would probably only do this if she was extremely angry and felt that Harry had really crossed a line, like endangering one of her children's lives in a really stupid way.
One possible reason could be that she might think Harry is putting himself in unnecessary danger, like when he goes off on his own to face Voldemort without a proper plan. Molly is very protective, and she may feel frustrated with Harry's recklessness.
Many fanfics also show Molly as a key figure in the wizarding community. She could be involved in community events, helping other families, or being part of a group that makes important decisions for the wizarding world. This is different from her role in the books which was more family - centric. Sometimes, she is also depicted as having a more complex relationship with the Ministry of Magic, either supporting or being at odds with their policies.
One possible reason could be a misunderstanding. Maybe Molly does something that Harry misinterprets as a threat to his friends or his mission. For example, if Molly tries to keep Harry from a dangerous but necessary task, Harry might see it as her overstepping and feel the need to 'punish' in the context of the fanfiction, which could just be a strong rebuke or some form of isolation within the story's plot.
One great Molly Weasley fanfiction is 'Molly's Moments'. It shows her behind - the - scenes efforts in taking care of the Order of the Phoenix members at the Burrow. Another is 'Molly's Motherly Love' which delves deep into her relationship with each of her children, especially during the tough times of the wizarding war. There's also 'Molly's Magic' that focuses on her underrated magical abilities.
In fanfiction, Molly Weasley is often depicted as a strong - willed and loving mother figure. She is shown as someone who is extremely protective of her family, just like in the original books. For example, she might be portrayed as being very strict when it comes to the safety of her children, especially during dangerous times in the wizarding world.
The relationship could start with mutual respect. Harry has always respected Molly as a mother figure in the Weasley family. This could gradually turn into something more romantic as they share more personal experiences. For example, Harry might confide in Molly about his post - war traumas, and Molly's understanding and care could lead to deeper feelings.
It could be that Harry made a decision that went against Molly's values. Suppose Harry started using dark magic or got involved with some unsavory characters, Molly, being a morally upright witch, would be furious with him. She might feel that he is setting a bad example for her kids or bringing danger to their world.
Another theme is her role as a mother figure. Fanfictions might expand on how she influenced not just her own children but also others like Harry. For instance, how she provided emotional support and a sense of home to him. It can also be about her teaching values to the younger generation in the wizarding world.
In a fanfiction, the howler could have had a physical form beyond just a shrieking letter. It could be that when it arrived at Hogwarts, it took on the form of Molly herself for a brief moment. She could have given Ron a stern look and a lecture in person (sort of) before disappearing again. This would add a whole new level of drama and magic to the concept of the howler in the Harry Potter universe.
One possible reason could be that Molly might blame Harry for putting her family in danger. Since he is often at the center of Voldemort - related troubles, her family gets involved in protecting him. For example, during the Battle of Hogwarts, her family was right in the middle of the fight mainly because of Harry. Another reason could be that she blames Harry for Ron's decisions at times. Ron follows Harry on his adventures and sometimes it puts Ron in harm's way, which Molly as a mother may not like.
