Potter,
Thanks for the lunch invite at your place this Saturday; Hermione and I will be there.
You’re not inviting Johnson again, are you? I refuse to play Quidditch with her if you do. That last time we played at your place, she aimed that Bludger right at my - well, it’s a very vulnerable spot, and I am not explaining to Hermione again why I can’t play hide the snake in the grass with her this weekend.
By the way, I appreciate that little gift pack you sent her. I never knew such a thing as a maternity pillow existed. I grudgingly bow my head to superior Muggle inventions, especially when they save me from my lovely wife’s constant requests for back rubs in the middle of the night.
It’s put her in a better frame of mind as well: she’s finally stopped conjuring up those fake pregnant bellies for me to wear so that I may fully experience the joys of carrying my son and heir, as she does.
Did the Weaselette ever punish you with these things? It’s no wonder you’ve stopped at three. I am rethinking my stand of having an heir and a spare.
She’s also stopped enchanting the tea-cups. They no longer sing nursery rhymes whenever a house-elf picks them up. Thank Merlin! I nearly had a mutiny on my hands. It was worse than the time she tried to transfigure Mother’s peacocks into - well, never mind, let’s not go there, eh?
Right, Potter. The love of my life has just walked in with a wicked, naughty look in her eye. I know what that means; I’ve read that book you recommended and I’ll be enjoying the second trimester while I still can!
Yours, etc,
DM -
