"If Grindelwald can be redeemed after killing plenty of people, I doubt that the same can't be done for Lily." She understood Harry's grief, but there was no sense of becoming melodramatic when logic said otherwise. "I'm not saying that it's going to be easy, but she is seventeen and she's hardly at the end of her life. She has plenty of time ahead of us." She smiled at him. "You'll do the right thing when the time comes; I just know it."
Hermione chuckled. "It was only an expression. When did you turn into a prude? You really are a Weasley."
She wasn't surprised about that. "Molly would have decided for all of us if she could have had. I think that's the reason she resented Fleur so much. Fleur wouldn't let her. The same with Audrey. I think she would have been the same with me if she hadn't known me since we were children."
Her eyes went wide. "Harry, this is not fun; it's not supposed to be fun. That's exactly why I'm afraid for them. Jamie doesn't need fun; he needs someone to remind him what a great responsibility he has." Despite what Harry said, she had some reservations about Sirius. She had loved the grown up version, but even then she could see how childish and immature he was, and this Sirius was even younger. "I hope you're right about Sirius."
