I'm a father already, Moony. Sort of. Well, a step-father - godfather, whatever - though a poor one at that. Though Merlin knows it's not for not wanting to take care of Harry.

But what you've said about having to acknowledge the child and take responsibility for Terrie ... that's part of what's bothering me about this. I mean to say, don't you think it's awfully quick for her to realise, isn't it? How long did it take Dora to figure out her condition?

And you remember a while back, Terrie and I had a bit of a row about her wanting another child? And I told her all the reasons it would be a terrible idea?

I suppose I just wonder if she actually listened to me. Not a pleasant thought, I know. But she'd hardly be the first witch to trap a husband that way.
