Hermione and I were talking a bit last night and she filled me on some of the goings-on here lately, since my typist hasn't been able to keep up with everything.
Harry is dating Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy's son?
I don't know the boy, of course, so he might very well be better than his parents - I certainly have enough experience that being in the same family doesn't make you similar! - but from what I've heard he doesn't sound like a very nice person. I don't know what to say, really. I guess I'd need more input from people who know him well. And from Harry himself, of course. I just don't want him to be with someone who's not good for him, he goes through enough hard stuff as it is.
I wonder how things are going to go with Hermione and Ron and the pregancy. I haven't wanted to discourage her too much when we talk because a young mother needs support above all; but I wonder if she realizes just how hard it's all going to be. Pregancy is usually very tough for the body, and though she hasn't yet reported morning sickness or other problems, I'm sure they will come eventually, and there's so much they're dealing with already. And then they'll have to bring up the baby while trying to finish their schooling and fight Voldemort when Harry's threatened by him. Of course, I and James had Harry when we were fighting Voldemort, too, but at least we were out of school and living comfortably. And it was a bit different; we'd started engaging into the fight of our own will, not because our friend was connected to him in a way that Harry is with Voldemort. Of course, after we found out that Voldemort was after Harry, things changed very much and we became very closely connected whether we wanted to or not.
Well, I hope they'll manage, that's all I can say now.
I'm quite confused by the community, to be honest. It seems like half of world literature is there by now, so it's no wonder that I can't keep up. And once-happy relationships have been broken and everyone's beginning dating and getting married so that I don't know who's with whom anymore.
