"I'm sorry"she said reaching for her daughter in laws hand "I love my son, I love my children and to see them suffering or getting hurt by the people that love them, well it doesn't sit well with me as you can imagine"
"It's like your forgetting i'm a mother as well Molly, you've known me years and you know that if Ron forgives me, if Ron understands what happened twenty years ago was a mistake and is ok with it you should be too"
"Sometimes I can't help myself, i make the situation worst and hurt those I'm trying to protect - but Hermione your my daughter and I love you, and I love my grandchildren, I can get past myself if it means I don't lose what i hold dear in this world - another grandchild I'll have to get knitting" she patted the bump endearingly "Will they be born before Rose and Hugo are back?"
"No -a while yet"
"Time to get ready again then"
"Ron's looking forward to it more then I am, I thought the nights of no sleep were over" She smiled "But he allways pulls half the weight when it comes to the kids, he loves them too much for his own good"
"Can I ask - have you spoken to him?"
"Yes - once, we won't be speaking again, he has his life his wife and children and i have my family, we're both happy with where we are, he's not a bad person we've moved on from all of that for James and Indies sake"
"Is she a good girl?"
"James is smitten" She grinned "They've been friends for ever it was partly expected this would happen it more concerning with then finding out about there parents - it was ok until Draco knew he was there dad and it got out Elizabeth was a bit bonkers"
