Let's Start Again! (Hermione Zabini)

Planning The Potter Wedding

Hermione's Prov:                                                      There was nothing much to do before lunch except to talk about what ever came into our minds. As conversation changed i could see that Draco was not to himself anymore he made few conversations with the twins and laughed from time to time at one of our silliness, it was good to see that he was fitting in quickly then i had thought 

"Good morning, everyone!" A male voice came 

We waited for the person to step forward it was Lupin with new born child, Tod. As the kid came into the view, he looked so cute. He had Lupin's eyes but Tonks's hair, which miraculously changed from light colors as he slept in his father's arms but woke up from the squeals which followed at his sight 

"Lupin...," I say as i approach to hug him     

When i pull back from Lupin i take a good look at the baby from up front, thinking about how Tonks died during the war, poor Tod. As i though about the war Fred came into my mind i stepped back from the whole group, his jokes and the way he made everything into so easy tasks. No doubt he was not my blood brother lr something, but i loved him as my brother just like Harry and everbody else 

"Hermione?" I was pulled from my thoughts with a hand on my shoulder 

I looked back and it was George, with the same flint of sadness as me, well wy wouldn't he Fred was his twin, brother, friend and, partner in crime

"George," i say as i wipe a tear which escaped hoping he didn't see it

"I saw that," he said with a desperately  "and i know why,"

As the others were busy with Lupin and Tod, me and George slipped out of the house, wave of chilly wind hitting us as we went outside. We then sat down on the edge of the hill looking at the woods which had a little snow in some areas

"Better?" He asked 

"I should be the one asking you that, but yeah," I said smiling a little "can i ask you something?" 

"Sure," he said 

"How did you cope when Fred...." I couldn't say it 

"Died?" He said "Nothing much. I just use to sit staring in the fire place, not eating properly then at night i would cry myself to sleep," 

"Oh," was all i could say 

"Yeah, but i am better now," He said smiling a little 

Before i could say something, we heard a voice from the house calling us it was Ginny. I knew she knew why we were here because she came and sat beside George and giving me a smile which i returned 

"I miss him too," She said leaning her head on George 

We stayed their for another minute or two, when Harry came to call us for lunch. We dusted our pants and went inside, as we sat on the long wooden table for lunch. The table was full food and drinks, Molly really out did her self this time

I was sitting in between Draco and Tod, since Lupin was across from me and the baby was beside me because i hadn't held him since he arrived

"Harry, i wanted to give you some news," Lupin started as he put food in his plates 

"Yeah..." Harry waited for a response 

"I have made you the godfather of my child," Lupin said proudly 

"Thank you, Lupin," Harry said smiling at Tod as he stared back at Harry with his cute grey eyes

The rest of the lunch went in conversation about Hogwarts and the current status of the Ministry. Everyone was having fun and of course no one rejected the food as it was delicious as always
