    Oh, I am so relieved that Hermione is not pregnant, so happy for both her and Ron.

    I'm saddened at the Weasleys' response to Harry, but as a parent I can understand. It's big fear for parents, I think, that your child is going to have to deal with an unplanned pregnancy when they are so young.

    Of course there are some cases where young parents have been excellent parents and have been very successful in life...but I don't think anyone would say that it's the ideal situation. Certainly babies bring a lot of joy, but having one before you're ready can really complicate matters. Well, I'm just really glad for Hermione and Ron's sake, and I do understand why the Weasleys are concerned about Harry and Ginny. Though at the same time, I feel so badly for Harry, because he hasn't done anything to deserve their mistrust and it has to hurt, because they're his family too. And I do think threatening Ginny with Beaxbatons is a bit extreme (though I'm so overprotective of my kids, I might well do the same...though I hope I'm never in that situation).

    I have to say that, despite the seriousness of the matter, I had to grin while I was reading your description of the meeting with the Grangers and the Weasleys, with Hermione trying to discreetly tell Ron it's all right, and then everything going to pieces. In real life it wouldn't be funny at all, but since this is fiction and Hermione's not pregnant anyway, it was funny to read.

    I'm happy that Harry was able to go see Hermione, too. And I knew it would be embarrassing for all the professors to know, lol!

    Great chapter and I'm looking forward to the next one already!

    ***Oh, seventeen is the legal age of adulthood in canon because the Trio needed to be able to do magic in DH without anyone being able to trace them through underage magic. At least that's what I've always believed.
