Order Only

Tonks and I would like to introduce you all to our son Adam Theodore Arthur Tonks, born at 7:45 this morning, just after sunrise. Eight pounds, two ounces, and very indignant that he's been kicked out of his nice warm cosy nest and into this big bright noisy madhouse. He has a full head of red hair, ten absolutely perfect adorable fingers and toes, and a remarkably tolerant nature to put up with all the people who were fussing over him this morning. He and Tonks are both resting up after the exhausting night they had.

(I can't get over how beautiful he is. And how tiny. And how perfect.)

The current plan is to give Tonks and Adam a few days to recover a bit, then anybody who wants to come meet Adam can! Ron, Ginny, I can try to find somebody to do a sketch for you if you want. Or you can come meet your new nephew over Easter hols. Mum's already here to help out, and she's going to be staying a few days, so if you need her, that's where she is.

It was brilliant.

I'm going to see whether Madame P needs me to come with, and if not, I think I'll kip here for a few before heading to Bedford.

I'm so glad you could be here last night, you were such a big help. I hope you get a chance to get some sleep!

Private message to Alice

He's so innocent. I had to fight back tears when I first took him into my arms.

Oh, Alice. It's my dearest wish that someday he'll be able to buy a wand and attend a free Hogwarts without fear...because we will have won this war.

We will, Molly love.

Eleven years and a few months from now, he'll get on that train, and we'll crack open a bottle of bubbly to celebrate.
