"I had forgotten to tell you all, as of last week, I am officially in the Third Trimester and Scorpius can breathe!" Hermione announced during dinner.
"How are you feeling?" Remus asked, "I know that when Dora was at this stage she had the hardest time sleeping."
Hermione smiled at him, he so rarely talked about his late wife. "Oh not our Witch," Theo said with a cheeky grin. "She's still falling asleep everywhere."
Hermione rolled her eyes. "It's very cute," Richard teased. "It's like when she was a little girl and she'd fall asleep on top of her books and we'd have to carry her to bed."
Draco coughed, "That didn't stop after childhood, she did that all through school and still does it now."
Hermione slapped him playfully on the shoulder. "You're supposed to be on my side!"
"I'm always on your side, darling, but Richard and I are partners now," he smirked.
"That's a good segue," Jean said grinning. "How are we all doing on our Halloween Costumes?"
"Hermione and I have already gotten ours," Narcissa said primly.
"And as you know, so have we," Theo said, with a wink at Jean.
Draco and Richard looked mildly embarrassed, "Er, haven't gotten it sorted yet," Draco said, clearing his throat.
"We know what we're going to dress as," Harry chimed in, "but haven't been able to get out to find them."
"We're at a total loss, if I'm honest," Regulus said glumly. "We have a baby to account for. That's absolutely unfair, we have three costumes!"
"Oh," Hermione said with a grin, "I have a brilliant idea, I'll tell you later!"
The rest of the evening went by in a happy blur that had Hermione feeling content as she settled into bed that night, with her ankles on a pillow to lower the pregnancy-related swelling.
"Good night," she said to the two men sprawled across the bed. Before even hearing their responses, Hermione had fallen asleep, dreaming of a leprechaun jumping around on her stomach.
