Catching up with Ron felt like a blast of nostalgia combined with some vague sense of surrealism; he’d been unavailable for so long that she hadn’t had much of a chance to speak with him alone since the twins were born, and learning about his experience as a father was fascinating. She wished she could tell him about her personal life, but knew he would be appalled by the notion of her seeing Severus.
