"Well considering I didn't know I was pregnant until four months in and I didn't know it was a boy until about 35 weeks, then no, not really," she mused, shaking her head. "But we did consider several options and in the end Septimus just seemed to fit when we were at St Mungos"

Okay okay ... this was just ........ breathe .... Hadley blinked at the seventh year when she explained her process of leaving the box in the common room for several weeks for people to write stuff. "That's ... I'm ... we're touched, really."

But onto the other news of the hour. About her other babies. "Always are, huh? A few that just seem to not want to let go. But oh? The sorting hat broke up a set of twins? Interesting... I hear we have two sets of twins actually this year?" She asked skeptically. What was in the water in the late 2060s she had no idea, but there was something with all the spouts of twins. "My time away was amazing! Bonding with Septimus and Addison and ... I just didn't want to leave them. But I had signed on for this year and I had a duty to you guys to be there for you. The baby sleeps a lot. And eats. I mean he's a few months old..."
Well Professor Hadley had done everything so much later than expected then. "How did you not know? Aren't people getting dead porky by four months?" Not that Els was insinuating that Professor Hadley had ever been porky. Just pregnant. And 35 weeks was pretty much the end! Had she accidentally found out the gender? Oh gosh. "I think it's a lovely name, though." And now she knew the name, she could go back and stitch something with his name. She was obviously a genius, right? "That's like when I was born. They didn't choose until I was born. Couldn't decide between Elodie, Rosalie or Odette." Personally, she was glad that they had gone with Elodie.

The seventh year shrugged like it was no big deal really and wiggled her nose. "It was no trouble. Gotta remind the kid that he has a million and one older siblings." And that Elodie Robertser had been the best one ever. It also meant that maybe she could pry her way in and babysit after graduation. She was good at that. Auntie Elodie was the favourite family member to all three little Robertsers.

Two sets of twins? "Two? I know there are triplets... Right? One of them looks like she was adopted though, because..." Oh. That was probably what Professor Hadley had meant about the twins. Two of them looked alike, and the other seemed adopted. Not that Elodie meant anything bad by that.. "The ones I was talking about were the Aldrich twins. Third years. Halcyon is in our house, and her sister Coral-Bay in Ravenclaw.. I'm not sure how Coral-Bay is coping, but... Halcyon didn't seem too peachy the first night. I helped her settle in first night." And she'd kept an eye on her too and tried her hardest to keep up with her or something. It was hard keeping up with kids when you were trying to keep up with your own emotions and stuff.

"Babies are cute... I think I want to deliver them, you know?" Career aspirations, yo.
