“Oh? You’re pregnant, Lily?”

“Er, yes. You too?”

“Yep. I’m on my 5th month going on 6th. It’s gonna be my 6th kid.”

“Oh, wow, Mrs. Weasley.”

“Congratulations dearie.”

Molly Weasley meeting Lily Evans for the third (?) time in a Christmas party and congratulating her.

“Hey, sis, is it true you’re getting married?”

“Where the fuck did you hear that?”

“Well, Marlon told Aunt Imogen and she told Ma and Ma told Pa and the rest of the family and I heard it from Mason who heard it from Calliope.”

“... So Mason told you?”

“No. Mason doesn’t know that I know. I heard him say it when he was interrogating Marlon on his source. So, is it true?”

“It depends if he’ll ask.”

“You’ll really marry a Black.”

“Yes. And he’ll be named Sirius McKinnon because I am not changing my family name to his.”

“Okay.”

“Wait. Malcolm. Why are you asking me all this?”

“... Noooothing.”

“You little sneak. Mason put you up for this, didn’t he?”

“What? No. It was cousin Francine.”

“So, mind telling us where the Potter’s are, Sweetcheeks.”

“Probably in their bedroom, shagging like craz --- aaaaaah!!!”

Dorcas Meadowes on the first day of her torturous time with the Death Eaters, being questioned by Alecto Carrow.

“You-Know-Who is gone, Remus. It’s time to stand up and move forward. We’re finally safe.”

“Yeah. He may be gone but so are Marlene and Dorcas, Fannie, James and Lily. Peter’s dead too and Sirius is in Azkaban. What’s the point if all the people I wanted to see this future isn’t here.”

Remus Lupin mourning the loss of his best friends and realizing that he was well and truly alone this time.

“So you’re saying that Mom wants me to come for the Family Reunion?”

“Yes”

“And you had to ‘attack’ me. What if I’d done a permanent damage on you?”

“Yeah, I didn’t think that through. But Mum’s been worried about you. You haven’t been answering her owls.”

“I was busy.”

Marlene McKinnon and one of her brothers days before the McKinnon Family Reunion, otherwise known as the McKinnon Massacre.

“Oh Merlin!”

“Marls? What’s wrong?”

“N-nothing. It’s... *gasp* bad dream.”

“Would you like to tell me?”

“I... there’s nothing to tell. It’s just the stress of the war getting to me.”
