48. Childhood
"Mommy, is Aunt 'Mione your sister?" the six-year-old red-head asked.
Ginny, at a loss for words, simply replied, "Yes," unwilling to try to explain those things to her young daughter.

"Mommy! Look at my picture!" exclaimed Lily. "It's our family."
Ginny was about to wave it off, being very familiar with her daughter's stick people drawings of the five of them and Teddy, but an extra figure in this drawing caught her eye. "Honey, who is this in between you and Teddy?" she asked the small girl.
"It's Victoire! She's going to be my sister, like Aunt 'Mione is yours!"
"And why do you say that?" smiled Ginny.
"She and Teddy are going to get married!"
"Of course!" Ginny replied, with a fake smack to her own forehead. "Do they know this?"
"Not yet! Teddy's only in his fourth year. He's not old enough to get married yet!" giggled Lily. Her Mommy was silly!
"Well then, why don't I hold onto this until they do."
"Good idea! I'm gonna go play with my dollies now!" the fiery girl exclaimed.
Thank goodness she didn't inherit the 'Weasley denseness', thought her mother.
