In spite of the years that had passed, it was impossible not to be swept up in a wave of emotion at the sound of Dumbledore's name.

"In time, I'm sure more of us will arrive. I feel more certain of it than ever now," Hermione said resolutely, smiling and blinking away her tears. "But enough of that. We'll need to set up a room for you in the Nook. I couldn't bear to have you living so far away from us; we'll all live here, until we find the time to build another house. You'll love it here in the countryside — we're close to rivers and lakes, and the air here is always so fresh. When I first arrived, I knew that I wanted to create an environment like the Burrow. Whenever I think of home, that's the first place that comes to mind, after all."
