"You say that now, but do you really want to end up with a Fred and a George?" Ron replied with a bit of a laugh. He'd always looked up to his older brothers, the twins especially, when he was younger, but sitting there now, he couldn't imagine how his parents had managed the two of them on top of everyone else. It seemed like the sort of thing that'd drive them mad.
After Hermione's comment about having more than one, though, Ron realized that he hadn't really thought that far ahead. This itself was a bit of a surprise, and while they'd talked about having children before now, they hadn't really made any decisions on how many they might have when the time came.
He'd always liked having siblings growing up, as much as the twins tormented him when he was younger, and as much as his other brothers sometimes poked fun, but Ron felt like he'd gotten lost in the shuffle sometimes. Seven, he thought, was definitely too many for the two of them.
"I dunno," he continued, frowning thoughtfully for a moment, before his grin returned, "More than one might be alright. But... not seven, Hermione. Definitely not seven."
