"Pft, what kind of Gryffindor are you?" he asked. "What's the fun in that? You're supposed to steal it. It's the way things work."
He squeezed her hand. "Maybe, I'm, maybe I'm not. We'll see." He laughed at her request, because it was typical of Rose and really aunt Hermione too. "No, I don't have a list. I've been busy, and I usually do my Christmas shopping a day before."
He chuckled. "That's the strangest reaction I've seen, and Dad was the first the one to know. He took it remarkably well. I'm pretty sure that this dying thing had something to do with it."
