What to Do?
Hilary was so angry at her mother about what she said about her dad. She didn't want to write to her about it. She was mad. She paced around the common room. She had 20 minutes until her next class, and she wanted to get her mother to apologize without asking her directly.
People would occasionally walk through the common room, but no one bothered to talk to the agitated first year. She paced all around the room. She didn't make one straight line. She saw her newfound cousins walk into the common room and then it hit her. She knew what to do, and she had to do it before her first class.

Aila was so angry. Hermione Granger had no right to say that about her father. She had no right. So she had no right to be Aila's mother. She was about to fall onto her bed when the door was thrown open.
"I need a quill and some parchment." Said Hilary digging through her trunk.
"No." Aila hurried up and shut the trunk, barely missing shutting Hilary's fingers into the heavy wood case, "if she is going to apologize she is doing it on her own, not because you decided to guilt her."
Hilary opened it back up and continued to dig, "I am not going to write her. And who said I was going to write anyone? So just get our of my way, I am on a mission." She pulled out a mangy quill that had obviously been squashed by the great amount of things in the trunk then she grabbed a wad of parchment from the floor and ran out of the room. "Classes in 10 minutes, don't be late, no, be early even better get a good seat, save me one! Not in front, out of the teacher's view please, bye!"
"What?" yelled Aila after her twin, but Hilary was already long gone. What was she going to do? And Hermione had better not write an apology saying that she heard how much she had heard about how it hurt her.

Ginny Potter left the bathroom pulling out her wand. She remembered this sick feeling. It was the early stages of morning sickness and she knew it. She just wanted to use the pregnancy test spell to be sure. Muttering the charm she pointed to wand at her stomach. Sure enough a puff of blue smoke came out of the end of her wand. So she was pregnant, and the blue color meant that it was only with one baby this time. Anxiously she walked to the kitchen to find her owl and send a message to her mother. Ginny had already told Harry about her suspicions and told him that she would tell him after he came home from his work at the ministry. She wished she could have done the spell earlier, but the spell would only work 3 hours after your fist meal of the day, and she had told Harry while eating her oatmeal.
Once she was in the kitchen she saw the Zeus's cage was empty. Decided to write the letter so she could send it as soon as Zeus got back from whatever delivery Harry had sent him on. Ginny had not even dipper her quill in the ink before another owl swooped in through the window and knocked the quill out of Ginny's hand.
She didn't recognize this owl, so she assumed that it was a business owl, sending some notice of some sort to Harry from another country. She was untying the letter when she saw that is was not addressed to her husband, but instead to her. She quickly opened the letter and was shocked when it was from her niece Hilary. Ginny had only met Hilary twice, but the two had hit it off, only they had never had any correspondence before this.
Aunt Ginny,
I don't normally write you letters but this is a bit urgent. Obviously I have met my twin Aila by now, and of course we have tried to understand why we are just meeting now. So we have sent letters to both of our parents and asked them questions. I have copied what they wrote back to us, the questions were mostly the same so you can figure it out. But we have slight problem. My mother hurt Aila's feelings in her last letter, and you will see why when you read it, and now Aila hates her. This is a big deal for me because I love my mother very much and I want my sister to do the same, but if Aila hates her before she meets her then that can never happen. I want it to be like Mamma apologized on her own accord, Aila would not accept an apology that I made happen. So I was hoping you could find a way to get Mamma to Apologize. I am sure you would understand why this means so much to me. I don't know what to do.
Hope to see you soon!
Hilary
Ginny smiled and then took out the page with Hermione's reply. The letter was very short, which was very much unlike Hermione. The letter was not all that shocking, it said mostly what Hermione had told her when they first began to communicate after Ron and Hermione split. But Ginny was outraged when she read the postscript at the bottom of the page.
Aila had every reason to be angry with her mother for that. It was very childish for Hermione to treat anyone, even Ron, like that. It had been eleven years and she still holds a grudge. Someone needed to put Hermione in her place and Ginny wanted to be the one.

Hilary got a letter from Ginny the next day, it assured her that yes she would do something about Hermione's behavior. And it also told her that she was glad that she had finally met Aila. Attached to her short response, was a letter to Lily and James. When Hilary handed it to Lily there was a loud scream.
Apparently Lily was very happy about something, and it didn't take long for everyone to find out what "James!" screamed the bouncing girl, "Mum is pregnant! Mum is pregnant!" James was happy but not nearly was much as his twin. He smiled and continued to eat his bacon and eggs. But Lily was running around hugging her cousins and whomever else she could find. She even ran up and hugged the headmistress and all the other teachers at the head table.
Aila was not at the table at breakfast but it wasn't long until Lily was proclaiming the word to the entire Gryffindor House. Aila was the first to run up and hug Lily of the Gryffindors but was followed by a couple of second years and a first year. Everyone else didn't really care, but seemed to find the sight of Lily amusing as she was jumping up and down and running all around she even did a couple cartwheels before she Collapsed on the floor completely exhausted. "Mum's pregnant!" she sighed again before leaning against the leg of a table and gasping.
Everyone laughed at her, and a big sixth year picked her up and carried her to her dorm to calm down in peace. Hilary smiled and looked at Aila who was also grinning from ear to ear. That was apparently what she needed to get her out of her grumpy mood.
