Mione,

I know it's been a while since we last talked, and so much has happened! I know you won't believe me, but I met someone. And Hermione, he's absolutely perfect! In every way, like seriously I'm so lucky to have him – though of course he insists he's the lucky one. His name is Edward, he's beautiful, honestly inside and out – oh God, he's so good looking Mione. I really wanted you to meet him before it got to this stage but things have been hectic, and well, you stopped replying to my letters – I don't even know if you'll get this one, but I want you to meet him before the wedding. Yes, that's right, I said wedding! We're getting married, and, God, you should see the ring he got me (and the super expensive car! Even though I told him there was absolutely no need) and his sister, Alice, is taking care of the wedding and I know it's going to be beyond beautiful. But it wouldn't feel right if you weren't here too, the wedding is in six weeks, and I HOPE YOU CAN COME!!

Enclosed is a formal invitation (courtesy of Alice) and an even more formal invite for you to be my maid of honor (again, thank Alice).

Please come, it would mean the world to both Edward and me.

Your favourite cousin,

Bells.

P.S. feel free to bring a plus one, I'm sure you have someone special to bring.

P.P.S Alice wants you to call so they can plan your flight, they're insisting on paying for every aspect of the wedding and apparently this counts too. I've enclosed both of our numbers below, please give one of us a call if you get this. I hope you get this.

I stared blankly at the paper in my hands, reading and re-reading the words. It was true, Bella and I had hardly spoken in years, I didn't want to put her in danger with the war, so I had cut all contact with that side of my family not long after fourth year. And the guilt had been too strong to contact them in the years after.

But it seemed like I've missed a lot, Bella's getting married. Little Bella, my little cousin, despite being less than two years younger than me, who was adamant she would never get married young. And after the shambles of a marriage that was her parents', I can understand. This Edward bloke must be amazing.

I sat there for a few more minutes, running through the next couple of weeks in my mind, I could swing a vacation in work – Minister Shacklebolt had been pressuring me to take a break for months as it was, and my department could survive. There were no birthdays or anything coming up either, so there was no reason I couldn't spend a couple of weeks there. I grabbed my phone off the desk and typed in the top number off the letter and waited.

"Hello?" A familiar voice answered, voice equal amounts hesitant and distracted. She sounded the same, but older, and I don't know why that shocked me.

"Bells?" I asked, my heart leaping, I hadn't realised how much I'd missed her until right now. I took a breath to steady my reaction, calm my heart and stop my freak out.

"'Mione?!" She screeched, and I heard the sounds of her dropping the phone and struggling to catch it, I heard other voices as well, too faint for me to work out what they were saying, but when Bella spoke again, she was calmer. "I can't believe it's you! I've missed you so much!"

"I've missed you too," I admitted, blinking back tears and ordering myself not to cry.

"Please tell me you called to say you'll come, and not to let me know that you can't"

"My boss has been pressuring me to take some time off work, apparently it's not healthy to work as much as I do. So, with that said, I could probably fly out by the end of the week" There was silence on the other end of the call, and I hurried to explain, thinking she was upset that it would take so long. "I would need to fill out the forms for work, and pack, find somewhere to say. Say goodbye to everyone here."

"oh my god." She breathed heavily; her excitement clear in her tone. "Oh my god, that's great news!"

"That way I'll get to meet," I paused, my eyes running over the letter again, "Edward, before he joins the family."

"Oh, Hermione, you'll love him. I promise!"

"I'm sure I will, after all, he makes you happy." I smiled, still a little hesitant. "I have to ask though, you aren't-"

"If you're going to ask me if I'm pregnant I'm taking your invitation back!" She cut me off to threaten and I burst out laughing.

"Sorry, sorry." I apologised, "But the only other people I know that got married this young were pregnant."

"Well, I'm not. I just want to spend every moment I can being Mrs Cullen." She spoke petulantly, and I could almost see the pout on her face.

"Bella Cullen," I tried the words on my tongue, "it does have a nice ring to it, personally I'd keep Swan though, gives you an air of mystery."

"Don't start" she warned in a teasing tone.

"Alright, alright." I heard a voice calling me from upstairs, "Oh hey, I've gotta run, but I'll see you soon okay?"

"Okay, I love you."

"I love you too." I hung up and made my way quickly upstairs, "Hey, there. My handsome Little Wolf." I greeted, kneeling softly at the side of Teddy's little dinosaur shaped bed. "Did you have a nice nap?" I asked, stroking his hair softly as he blinked up at me.

"Yes, Mumma" He replied, rubbing his eyes as he struggled to wake up fully. "Dinner-time?"

"Uh-huh, I made dinosaurs and mashed potato"

"And peas?" they were his absolute favourite food at the moment, he eats them with every meal.

"Of course," I spoke as I sat him in his highchair, and checked the temperature of his food before placing it in front of him.

But wizards and witches aren't known for living long after their spouses die, their magical cores fuse together on marriage, and when one dies it's like literally losing half of yourself. Andromeda lasted longer than we anticipated, long enough for me to finish my NEWT's and begin working in the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures, but before long she began to fail.

Harry and I stepped in then, as godparents, and he spent his time in between our houses (and Molly's on the occasion we were both working) but eventually, that became a strain. Harry and Ginny were deeply in love and planning their wedding (quickly so the bump didn't show) and Teddy deserved to be someone's main focus. So, about seven months ago I legally adopted him and took over his care full time. He still spent every other weekend at Harry's, and we spent every Sunday at the Burrow with the rest of the Weasleys, but he was mine now.

I noticed Teddy had finished his food and quickly swapped it out for two small yoghurts before he could complain, putting the plate in the sink and waving my wand so it washed itself.

"What do you say to going on a little holiday?" I asked Teddy, and he looked at me blankly for a second "we could go on a plane, like on TV, and go see my cousin who lives far away for a couple of weeks?"

"plane?" He demanded, his excitement bursting forward, seeming to vibrate in his seat. He nodded so vigorously I was worried for his neck, but I smiled.

"Okay, then Mumma has got a lot of planning to do," I spoke to him, but I was just planning out loud. "We're going to have to say goodbye to everyone."

*****#*****

That night was hectic, Molly had insisted on throwing a going away party, and everyone had been invited, it was loud and fun and Merlin, exactly what I needed. Teddy had a ball, playing with Victoire and Fred and George and I enjoyed a nice glass of wine with my family.

And when we finally got home, Draco was waiting for us, I slipped past him putting Teddy to bed – since he was sleeping in my arms. "I got a letter today," I announced when we were sat on the couch together, he had my feet in his ŀȧp and was running a soothing hand up and down my shin as we flicked through the tv trying to find something to put on in the background.

"Oh yeah?" He asked distractedly as a David Attenborough documentary started.

"Yeah, my cousin Bella invited us to her wedding." I told him hesitantly, keeping my attention on the tv" I was hoping to leave at the end of the week."

"I won't be able to get time off work until at least next week, but I can follow you out." He spoke after thinking for a couple of minutes, putting all his attention on me.

"Really?"

"Of course, family is important, you know that." A fragile smile was on his face and I hated it, wanting to distract him I began talking about Bella, from stories of our childhood to her new love with Edward.
