Chapter 5: "Two Years Later"
"Harry?"
"Yes, Luna?"
"Why didn't you just lie to Hermione when she asked you what she would look like in the future?"
"After all this time, why do you ask this now?"
"I've always wondered." Luna leaned over in the bed to face me.
"Hermione seemed to always know when I was lying. It was useless to lie to her, and nearly impossible to hide anything from her." I always marveled at how Luna's blue eyes sparkled even in the dark.
"Were you hoping that Hermione might do something to avoid blowing up if you told her?"
"Yes, I think I was. The idea of an Hermione who was huge was simply something I could not fathom."
"Do you ever worry about Ron?"
"No, not really. He married that muggle actress in the TV series about the actress who got too fat to get roles."
"Ron married Kirstie Alley? Isn't she old enough to be his mother?"
"They're a perfect match. They both live to eat."
"How do you think things worked out with Hermione? I still haven't gotten used to the sight of a chubby-looking Hermione."
"I think things worked out about as well as could be expected. I'm glad that Hermione now eats like a normal person. No more starving herself to be thin. No more binging because she thinks she's doomed. Neville thinks she's prettier this way, and I do, too. Neville's been a perfect husband so far. He even eats Hermione's vegetarian cooking without complaint. Why did you show me what Hermione would look like in fifteen years?"
"I had to find out how you would react to a fat, buxom woman before we got married."
"Why would you need to know that?"
"What do you think I'm going to look like in fifteen years after eight kids?"
