Harry and Hermione shared another look. If that was Molly's way of conveying her blessing to the partners her two youngest had found, then it was hard – indeed, would be inappropriate – to ask for better, except perhaps at a less emotionally fraught time.

If Molly seemed so certain that Harry and Hermione would marry into the family one day, then self-grouping themselves alongside the other in-laws seemed the most appropriate course.
