"We're that confident in the Weasley genes, are we?" Hermione asked, though she had to admit that she was also expecting a son, especially after the birth of James Sirius. "Bill and Fleur had Victoire, didn't they? Though I suppose if there was anyone who stood a chance of overwhelming the Weasley heritage, it would be Fleur."

She smiled, nestling herself more closely against Ron. "It may sound strange for me to say, but having this baby... somehow makes me more confident that eventually, we'll be reunited with our friends and family again. I can't imagine a world where our children don't grow up together. Our friendships are too strong for that."
