Note: The original thought of this is in the first Conversation piece. Lily is visiting with Draco while Harry is putting the baby to sleep. 132 words.

"You two look very content. I'm so happy for you."

(smiles) "Excessively happy, actually. She's a gem. Goes right to sleep, doesn't fuss, and hardly ever cries. Of course that last one could be because Harry's so anxious that he feeds her every hour and changes her diaper twice as often."

(laughs) "Could be. I remember I was like when I had Harry. Of course, I knew I'd only get Harry, so I wanted to make sure he never needed for anything."

"Oh, I didn't know that."

"It's no big deal anymore, but I nearly killed myself having Harry." (sighs a happy sigh) "But, it was worth it all, every scream, every pain that ripped through me, every drop of blood. You know what I mean."

(nods and smiles) "I certainly do."
