The Twenty Five Labors of Dumbledore's Army

by My Dear Professor McGonagall

In total and between all of them, the lovely ladies of Dumbledore's Army found themselves becoming mothers exactly twenty-five times. More babies than you can shake a stick at. One hundred words per child.

Ernest Colin Macmillan

It didn't take long for Ernie and Susan to realize that Maggie was so much fun, they wanted another. Ernest, named for his father but called by his middle name, Colin, for the boy who had saved Ernie's life, arrived on a freezing day not long after the new year. His two-year-old sister leaned over her brother's bassinet, scrutinizing the baby carefully. Then she giggled and wrapped her chubby arms around her father's neck.

Susan laughed and kissed Ernie, then Maggie, and the three of them stood together for a long while, watching baby Colin snuffle in his sleep. Hufflepuff.
