The sound of small children laughing and playing in the lounge next to the kitchen brought a smile to Ron's face. Hermione could tell that he had been able to find some happiness in his life despite the horrors they were forced to endure. It made her happy for her former friend. Though she wasn't naïve enough to believe that he'd had nothing but joy, she was pleased to learn that he'd been able to carve something worth fighting for out of the ruins of his childhood. He gestured to the large kitchen table for her to take a seat.
