Jim: Lilith is . . . strange. Not strange like Mum's been for the last fifteen years or so, and definately not weird like Rose. I like Lilith though; she makes me do all sorts of things I wouldn't otherwise contemplate.
Hermione: There are so many places where things could have gone differently. I might have continued to condemn Harry and Ron's adventures back in the first year of Hogwarts. I would have continued through my years of Hogwarts friendless and bitter and probably returned to an almost muggle existance.
If Harry hadn't died, or if he died before I went to teach at Hogwarts, or at any other time really, I probably would have completed a few years teaching at Hogwarts and gone on to a brilliant career at Oxford. I might have even found a stable man and entered a happy and conventional relationship.
