James Sirius Potter was born early yesterday morning. There were no complications, and thanks to the healers he was born healthy. I can’t express just how excited Ginny and I both are. I imagine things will come to really change over the next months, but I don’t think I’ll be able to forget how it was to hold him for the first time. How is the research going? Do you think you will be able to return soon? Ginny and I were sorry to see that you weren’t able to make it in the end. We’re still determined to have you as the godmother, though Molly has been pressing for someone else to take the role instead. I refused—if it ought to be anyone, it ought to be you and Ron.
