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.

Parvati had always supposed that because she herself was an identical twin, it was very likely that she might have identical twins of her own one day. She had hoped, however, that if she did, it would not be her first pregnancy. Roger had been quite beside himself at the thought of just one baby; when Lavender finished the exam and informed them that there were two baby girls, he looked quite faint.

Parvati couldn't help but wonder if Roger would avoid being home the way her own father had. She didn't want to believe it of the man she loved, but the idea of trying to raise twin girls, and witches, had sent her father on many "business trips," from which he would not return for weeks at a time.

She needn't have worried. Roger loved his girls more than anything in the world. Twin Gryffindors, Daya and Devika. Kindness Embodied and the Little Goddess. Parvati watched Roger marvel at them, one after the other, then back to the first, and couldn't help but tear up. She couldn't have wished for a better family.

Now all that remained was to come up with a way to tell them apart.
