“That’s all?  Just thirty people?”  Draco leaned back and looked from his mother to his fiancé, Astoria.  “Well, you wanted a small wedding, ‘Tory, and it looks like you’re going to get your wish.”

“Actually thirty-one, counting Vicar Grant,” corrected Astoria.

“Well, dear.” Narcissa took a deep breath and rubbed her temples. “Since the war, the members of our social circle who aren’t dead, are in Azkaban and Astoria’s family is not that big, so the list was limited to begin with.”

“That’s true, Draco, most of my family are too old to travel or aren’t that close to us, so besides my grandparents on my Mother’s side, there’s only my aunt, uncle and cousins in Ireland who I’d even think of inviting, and that’s only seven.  But Daphne will be bringing Blaise.”

“Well, at least you have some family; all we have is Aunt Andromeda and little Teddy.”  Draco picked up the list of people who would be receiving invitations and shook his head, smiling.  “If I’d seen this list when I was at Hogwarts, I’d have thought someone had lost their mind . . . I can hear myself now ‘WHAT!?!  Invite Muggles and Weasleys to MY wedding!  Not bloody likely!’ ”.  He threw back his head and laughed. “What a difference a few years and a war can do to change things.”
