Hermione & Oz
"They are, and so much more," Hermione admitted. "Lily is just as brilliant as everyone said she was, but she's so much more than that. And James, he's definitely just as bad as the Weasley twins when it comes to pranks, but he's kind and loyal and a patient teacher." They were still working on her Animagus form, after all.
"My time would be very different if they'd lived. I think this party is proof enough that Lily and I are a force to be reckoned with," she added with a grin, trying to bring a bit of levity to an otherwise kind of morbid thought. "I'm just glad it's worked out so well. I don't know that I would've done well not getting along with them."
