007.

I still can't believe it- poor Dedalus. It's absolutely horrid- have we found any leads yet? I know we're looking for some kind of pyromaniac, but was there anything else to go off of?

Why am I not surprised it's a boy? A brand new Marauder to drive McGonagall mad, yeah? He's already restless, I think. Congrats again, dad. I'll leave you to tell the rest of the boys.

It's a boy!

Can I ask a favor of you, Pete?

Both of us Aunts and Mothers in the same year? And I can't believe I had to find out through Vernon of all people...not that I'd told her I was pregnant yet, but really, it's- It's such a tough spot. We're both starting families of our own, but we can hardly stand each other. Maybe I should send an owl- letter. Something. Try to patch things up. Oh, why am I so bad at this? Honestly. You know, I bet Mum would use this as an excuse for us to try to get along better. For our children. She'd take us out shopping for a million and one baby books and things and try to scare us with horror stories from when she was pregnant. Mum would know what to do. She always did.

If only she could see us now. ~~Or maybe she wouldn't want to.~~

	There wasn't, not really. Of course they'd taken care of any evidence, except the body itself. It was...I found it in pieces, in...in a trail, if that helps at all. Leading to the head. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Oh, Ed- I'm so sorry you had to witness that. This might be coming late, but if you need anything you'll let me know, okay? Someone sick, that's for certain. We'll find whoever did this. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I will. Marly came over and brought tea and biscuits and that helped ~~a little~~. I hope we do, and soon, before they do this to anyone else. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Good, I'm so glad you haven't been on your own. I hope so too. We'll have to keep an extra careful eye out, but at least we have some idea of what to look for. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I reckon a Marauder-girl could've wreaked as much havoc as a Marauder-boy, Lily-love. But it's brilliant, isn't it? He's probably practising for his first Quidditch match. Or maybe his first prank, I dunno. Thanks, love, I'll make the grand announcement. About time they knew whether they had a niece or nephew. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I agree, she certainly could have, though I'm sure this little one will bring more than enough havoc along with him. It really is fantastic, I can't wait! I wonder if he's going to have a mess of black hair like you. That'd be a sight, wouldn't it? And not a problem, love, you've always been good with big announcements.

	Just as well it's a boy - hair that sticks up's got rakish charm on a boy. Might be a bit hard on a girl, though. If we do ever have a girl, she'd better look like you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh, Merlin- I can only imagine the trouble a girl would have with your hair, love. If we ever do, I hope she gets the easy-to-manage hair of the family. (Reply to this) (Parent)

You're such a dear- I've been playing around with the concept of the Wolfsbane potion, trying to figure out how to make it properly. It'd be a great advantage to have, and I was wondering if you'd be interested in helping me? I need another good hand at Potions, especially what with the baby and all, and you came to mind right off. But it's only if you wanted to, mind you.

	Oh no, that sounds brilliant! I've been going over my own ideas on how it would work, but I've had no time to put them into practice. When would you like me to drop by? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Peter _evans 2010-03-02 11:03 pm UTC (link)
	Oh, fantastic! I'd love to hear your theories and see what we can make of them. I imagine if we tried we could make some progress. What time works for you? Maybe one day later on in the afternoon? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Lily] mr_ratman 2010-03-03 04:34 am UTC (link)
	Yeah, that'd be fine so long as it's a weekend, or...well, I could definitely try to make the time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	No, no, a weekend will do perfectly! What with work and everything, don't overdo yourself. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Isn't it, Aunt Marly? Another one to drive them mad at Hogwarts. We're absolutely excited! It's amazing! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I know, just wait until she finds out. At least she's got some time before he gets there. (Reply to this) (Parent)
