And... it's a boy!
Warded to Ernie:
Hello Ernie! Are you free to have lunch sometime this week?
Warded to Verity:
Verity, dearest! Would you like to have lunch (or dinner) this week? I wouldn't mind seeing the little ones, too, if Ernie doesn't have them if you don't want to get a sitter.
Warded Private:
I must say, I'm relieved to know. At least, I hope we know. What if the healer was wrong about the gender and it's actually a girl? No, I suppose that wouldn't be too likely. Now we can start thinking of names, and I don't have to worry about having hundreds of favourites and trying to pick a first and middle for a boy and girl. Instead, I can just have hundreds of favourites for just a boy. I wonder what Neville would say to naming the baby after his father? I wonder if there would be a way to include my mother somehow. If it had been a girl, we could have named her Caroline.
I should be happy, right? The baby is healthy, I'm healthy. So why am I sad? I was just hoping for a girl. Maybe next time. There will be a next time. And if not, my sons

Warded to Neville:
Hello, darling! It looks like I'll be at the Leaky longer than expected tonight. One of the waitresses went home sick, and there is no one else to cover the rest of her shift, but luckily, I made that casserole over the weekend, so if you get home before I do, it's in the freezer! With instructions, just in case.
I also had a question. When do you want to tell everyone else about the baby? I'm asking because Mrs Cauldwell stopped by this afternoon. Do you remember her son Owen? Oh, probably not. He was in Hufflepuff, but a few years younger, very sweet boy. Anyway, I must not have been as careful this morning when I was getting dressed, because she asked me if I'm pregnant, and... well, I couldn't exactly deny it! You know how bad of a liar I am. I'm far enough along now that we don't have to worry as much about a miscarriage something going wrong early on, and the healer did say that everything looks wonderful, so maybe it's time that I stop worrying so much about it? It would be nice to not have to hide it anymore.
