Chapter 1743: A War Without Winners (Part 193)
Chapter 1743: A War Without Winners (Part 193)
The fiasco orchestrated by Ron didn't cause significant harm, but it still hurt Miss Lavender Brown's feelings and affected the Potter family.
As close friends of Ron, the Potters found themselves in an extremely awkward situation regarding this matter.
Harry and Ron had been through life and death together, and any words spoken about this situation would make Harry feel like he had done something wrong. So, when they met at the Ministry of Magic, he dared not mention any personal matters, fearing the atmosphere would suddenly turn awkward.
Would their friendship be affected by this? Harry didn't know and didn't want to find out.
But he knew that if Ron dared to do something, his friendship with Hermione would most likely be over.
This was not the outcome Harry wanted to see, and regarding this matter, Harry and Ginny had a serious discussion.
Hermione was obviously aware of Ron's secret admiration for her; otherwise, she wouldn't have wanted to avoid the embarrassment of rejecting Ron. She chose to convey her message through Ginny, hoping Ron would back down and preserve their friendship.
But that didn't seem to work, and Fred and George removed Ron's last shred of dignity, causing everyone who knew about the situation to feel incredibly awkward.
Somehow, the news reached Hermione, and after learning the whole story, she wrote Harry a letter, discussing how to let Ron give up his unrealistic fantasy without damaging their friendship.
In the end, on Albert's suggestion, Hermione personally wrote a letter to Ron about this matter.
In the letter, Hermione laid her cards on the table, stating that she only considered Ron a good friend and hoped their friendship would continue.
Of course, Hermione also mentioned that she had no plans to find a boyfriend for the time being and sincerely wished Ron could find a girlfriend he liked.
Lastly, Hermione suggested that Ron write a letter of apology to Lavender, even if he didn't like her. He should treat a girl who genuinely liked him with respect, which was something any charming man should do.
Hermione's letter was like a blade piercing Ron's heart, causing the young Weasley to feel down for a long time, even taking a few days off to adjust his mindset.
But thanks to this letter, Ron, who had regained his spirits, became much more normal and didn't forget to write a letter of apology to Lavender.
Everything seemed to return to normal! Harry could finally breathe a sigh of relief, at least not having to worry about being caught in the middle of his friend's emotional dilemma.
In fact, Harry didn't have the mind for such things anymore, as he and Ginny were about to welcome their child into the world.
If it was a boy, they would name him James, and if it was a girl, Lily.
Because of this, the entire Avalon was in a frenzy, as it meant their village would welcome its first new life.
For this reason, Kingsley was very generous in granting Harry a leave of absence. Even though it was Harry's first time as a father, and he seemed clumsy, he spent his days caring for his wife and learning from others how to be a good father.
Fred would swear on the Galleons in George's pocket that Harry had never been as serious about learning something as he was now.
Ginny, who had gained experience from Mrs. Weasley, was much calmer than Harry.
Ever since she became pregnant, she had been preparing.
Whether as a wife or a mother-to-be, Ginny had been earnestly seeking advice from her mother and Isabella.
Under the watchful eyes of many, James Potter was born.
As Fred and George brought the news of James' birth to the others, Sirius suddenly stopped Harry, who was beaming with joy, and asked if he had considered finding a godfather for James.
"I'm not sure if Albert would still be willing to be James' godfather," Harry had entrusted James to Albert, but he was still alive, so he wasn't sure if Albert would want another godchild, as the man seemed to be the type who avoided trouble.
"It would be best if Albert could be James' godfather."
"I'll make time to talk to him about this," Harry said in a low voice, "I've already discussed it with Ginny, and if Albert isn't willing, we'll ask Hermione to be James' godmother."
"I suggest you find a way to contact him later and sound him out. It's best to invite him over for a meal at the shack."
Sirius looked at the young baby and whispered, "I also hope James isn't a mischievous child."
James' birth excited everyone, and Avalon even hosted a small banquet to celebrate the child's arrival.
The next afternoon, Albert, having received Harry's letter, arrived at the shack with Isabella to visit the Potter family.
The two received a warm welcome from the Weasley family.
Seeing Ginny, who was already out of bed, Isabella slightly raised her eyebrows and offered some advice in private.
"I think you should take some time to rest. It will help your body recover quickly after childbirth and prevent any potential complications."
She knew that the United Kingdom probably didn't have this custom, but after Isabella gave birth to Alice, Albert had taken good care of her, and her body recovered quickly without any postnatal issues.
"You're still young. As long as you take good care of your body, it will gradually recover, even after having a child. There's no need to push yourself too hard."
Which woman doesn't love beauty?
Especially at Ginny's age, she was at the peak of her beauty.
Isabella was the best example; no one would believe she was already a mother.
While Isabella whispered to Ginny, Harry also discussed the matter of James' godfather with Albert.
In fact, if Albert was willing to come to the shack, it was basically a sign of agreement.
Initially, the agreement between the two was that Albert would become the godfather of Ginny's child if Harry died in the Second Wizarding War, helping to look after the child until adulthood.
Although Harry didn't die in the war against Voldemort, Albert apparently had no intention of going back on his word.
Even though he might not be a very competent godfather, that wasn't the most important thing.
On the contrary, what mattered was the strengthened bond between them.
To celebrate this, Mrs. Weasley prepared a sumptuous dinner, and during the meal, they chatted about the world tour.
"It will probably be after Fred and George's wedding," Albert didn't stay long at the Weasley house and bid farewell after the dinner.
"I remember they also have a child," Mrs. Weasley said, watching the two leave, "A girl, I think her name is... Alice."
