Summary:
There's a baby...and Mona...and Fil...and I was worried no one was
going to respond, so I wrote this as encouragement. Please write a
story! Please??? Pretty please???
Filius sat in the corner, nearly forgotten by the rest of the partygoers. In his arms laid the reason for their gathering, an open house to welcome the newest member of the Dumbledore family. For many, it was the first time they had seen the baby girl, but as her godfather, Filius had seen Diana nearly everyday of her life. She lay wedged between his body and arm as he softly brushed her dark hair away from her little forehead.
"You are a natural, Mr. Flitwick." She sat a glass of cherry syrup and soda on the coffee table before him and sat down in the chair next to him.
"Thank you, Mrs. Sprout-Flitwick."
She blushed. "Just Flitwick, please; I'm not teaching."
He smiled brighter at that and leaned over for a kiss. Diana opened her eyes and lightly protested the movement before seeing her godmother and starting to gurgle. Filius handed the little one over to his beautiful bride of nearly one year. Diana immediately settled and closed her eyes again.
"You know, you're a natural, too."
She smiled in response and as his attention was called away she softly whispered, "It's a good thing, too." As she held Diana to her, Pomona laid her hand protectively on her own stomach, excited about the tiny, new life growing there, and impatient for the gathering to end so she could share the happy news with its father.
