Hestia moved gladly into his embrace, leaning her head against his side. Sighing, she took a moment to appreciate the physicality of his being there. "It went well," she said slowly. "It was wonderful seeing them and so much has happened. My best friend Tess just found out she's pregnant with her first baby, she and her husband are hopefully coming over soon, Gwenog would have gotten named to the English national team this year - not that that's any sort of a surprise, Megan wants to work at the Ark once she's settled in, and my parents are going to enjoy an early retirement."
Even though her family was small (well compared to the Weasleys, it was small), with the personalities that made up the Jones' extended family, the noise and the presence of all of them being in one room could make it seem like there were so many more present than there actually was. "I love them. I really, really do and I'm so happy that they're over here. I just got...overwhelmed and every time I tried going off by myself to get my equilibrium back, by sneaking off to the water closet, I'd find someone - mostly my mum, dad or both - waiting for me outside. I'm surprised my mum didn't force her way in." Burrowing in closer to him after he kissed the top of her head, she moved her hand until it was on top of his and wrapped his arm a little bit tighter around her.
