Hermione and Harry continued to visit Molly with updates. They told her about Ron's condition, the arrival of Hope Hermione Lupin. Later visits they discussed other weddings and the children she would have mothered as grandchildren had she not made poor life choices. As their own broods grew, the visits became less often. Their last visit they announced Hermione's election to Minister of Magic. "You mean Puppet Minister," spat Molly. "You'll just parrot the words you're told."
