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.

Hugo Ronald Weasley

Lily Luna Potter

Ron came home late one night in early October to find Hermione sitting on the kitchen floor, a rather sheepish grin on her face. They Flooed Molly and Arthur, grabbed Rosie, and headed for St. Mungo's. When Hermione had been in labor for several hours, however, Arthur was called away. Ginny had gone into labor more than two weeks late, at their home, and was not going to make it to the hospital.

A few hours later, with Ron's encouragement, Hermione gave birth to a beautiful baby boy, whom they named Hugo Ronald. Miles away from London, not an hour after her cousin, Lily Potter was born. Her hypnotically enchanting eyes decided her middle name: Luna.

Ginny, unfortunately, wasn't well after she had Lily. There had been a complication, enough to knock even Ginny off her feet for almost three weeks. When Ron and Hermione finally got round to calling, however, she was predictably going stir-crazy, and Harry was grateful for the relief.

Ginny and Hermione laughed, watching Hugo and Lily examine one another with great interest as they squirmed atop Ginny's blankets. Lily Potter and Hugo Weasley: two more inseparable Gryffindors for their families, each with brilliant red hair.
