The tea was hot and bitter. Minerva would have considered adding honey, but all that Augusta had on the tray was lump sugar.
Outside on the grass, visible through the open french doors, a brown-haired, serious-faced, chubby child played by himself with a ball.
"He just doesn't show any signs of magic," Augusta said. "None! I'm so afraid he's a Squib."
Minerva patted her friend's hand. "Don't saddle Neville with your own expectations," she said firmly. "Time enough to be concerned when he's nine or ten."
Neville couldn't hear the words, but his habitual expression of worry relaxed for once.
