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.

Alivia Mara Wood

Alicia knew immediately. She was only thirty-three years old, but she was willing to sacrifice her life to give her second child a chance to live. She and Oliver cried and cursed, but when it was time, Alicia was peacefully accepting of what lay ahead.

After seeing Alivia once through darkening eyes, Alicia allowed herself to slip away, Oliver clutching her hand. She did not expect to wake up, days later, very weak but very much alive. From then on, Alicia's health was always frail, her pace always slow, but she saw her beautiful Alivia become Gryffindor's youngest-ever Quidditch Captain.
