Chapter 2: Meeting with the Diggory's and the Weasley's

I gave them about four days for the post to arrive, so I set up the meeting for 3 days after, which gave Harry and I a chance to set it up so that we could meet with them without interference. This way we could be sure to get to the meeting place early. The day went off without a hitch. We got to the park by the house at around 10, we had set up the meeting for 11. The Diggory's were the first to arrive. Mr. Diggory was the one to ask the question, "Why is Cedric an only child?" to which I replied, "He's an only child because Mrs. Diggory was hit by a curse that left her barren." When I had answered successfully, he asked how I could have know, I told him that I was the baby in the pram with the rattle when mum was told, and that I have a photographic memory. I told him that we have to wait for the Weasley's because they needed to be there as well. The Weasley's arrived about five minutes after. Mr. Weasley asked, "How many children do I have, and how many generations has it been since a female child was born to a Weasley?" to which I replied, "You have seven children, and it has been seven generations since a female was born to a Weasley."

After they had both been satisfied, I pulled out the letters (all of them, I had Griphook take a copy in order to get Sirius out of Azkaban). I told them that we had been given access to the Potter vault, and in it there had been two interesting letters, one addressed to Cedric Diggory, and the other addressed to Ginny Weasley. I also showed them the letter addressed to Harry and I individually, and said that it was most likely that whatever information was in the letters for Ginny and Cedric would also be in our letters. This is how mine went:

Dear Lily-Rose,

If you are reading this letter, than that means that Peter Pettigrew has betrayed us and we are dead. No matter what anyone says, please believe us that Sirius was not the Secret Keeper. This also means that we did not get to see you meet your soul-mate. Soul-mates are extremely rare, and yours is Cedric Diggory. You see I know this because I have foreseen it. Your brother also has a soul-mate, she is Ginny Weasley. If you are as smart as I hope, you will have met with the Diggory's and the Weasley's while you are reading this letter (wow, does my mum have me pegged or what). I can only imagine what is going on through your mind at this moment. Know this, Cedric is a fine young man, and I could not have asked for a better man for my little girl. Seeing as Ginny is a year younger than you both, my heart aches for you brother when you begin school because he will be away from her for a year, and for you when Cedric graduates. Though I can't imaging that you will not have activated the bond by that time. A soul-bond means that you are effectively married. It does not matter how old you are. If by the time you are 14 and you still have not activated it on your own, the bond will automatically activate. The soul-bond will make you 100 times stronger than you are without the bond, it will also give you the ability of wand-less, and wordless magic. It will also make your mind impenetrable to attacks. You will also be unaffected by all magic, with the exception of the Unforgiveables (not including the Imperious). You will also be able to communicate with him the same way you do your brother. Know this, even though this comes with a great many advantages, there is also one big disadvantage: if either one of you were to die, the other would follow shortly after.

You can't imagine how much we want to be there for you sweetheart. I know that a letter is not as good as having us there with you, but I hope that it eases your pain, even if it is just a little. There isn't much left to tell you.

Good-bye my daughter, Lily Potter

I don't believe this, but then again it is quite unbelievable that we survived the Killing Curse. After us kids read our letters, we wordlessly handed them to the adults. Cedric and I to his parents, and Harry and Ginny to hers. I knew when their mums got to the whole "effectively married" part, and the "should one of you die, the other will follow" part. By the time they were done with the letters Mrs. Diggory and Mrs. Weasley were crying in their husbands' arms. Mr. Weasley, and Mr. Diggory were gallantly holding back their own tears in order to comfort their wives. When the mums were done crying, Harry and I both said that we were willing to wait as long as possible before activating the bond, though we couldn't promise anything because it didn't say how we could activate the bond before it would automatically. Then Cedric spoke up and said, "Lily, I'm willing to wait as well, but like you said we can't be sure that we won't activate it beforehand because we weren't told how, so that we may prevent it from happening too early. I can promise you this, while we are waiting I will never look at any other girl. I can already tell that you are the only one for me, and I would never hurt you like that." By the time he was finished, I was crying. I said, "Cedric, that has got to be the single most romantic thing anyone has ever said to me. I can also promise that I will never look at any other boy while we are waiting, and when you graduate if the professors don't allow you to stay with me." Harry and Ginny said pretty much the same thing to each other. Then we all promised the adults that we would be careful to not get pregnant while us girls were still in school.

The meeting took considerably less time than I predicted, so we all went to eat at a pub nearby. By the time we were done though, we had to leave. We bid everyone a good day, and went home. We got our chores done that were left for us to do (weeding and mowing the lawn). Then we waited on the front steps for them to get home. When they got home, they grudgingly gave us dinner. We told them that we had been invited over to a friends for the rest of the summer and that they would see us to school (we had sent word to the public school that we would be attending the private school that our parents went to, and not to expect us), and that they would be picking us up the next day at 8 am. When Dudley laughed at us, I simply said, "You didn't manage to scare off all our friends. Besides I wouldn't be so haughty, you might end up in a very embarrassing situation." Uncle Vernon got purple at that and started sputtering, I cut him off before he could say anything with, "Before you say that we can't go, think about this. You already gave permission, and I said nothing that wasn't true. I didn't insult him, I merely pointed out the well-known saying of 'what comes around, goes around.' Besides do you really want to think about the consequences of not letting us go and us sending them a post about what really happened?" He couldn't say anything to that, and very grudgingly said that we could go. Then I told him that I didn't expect for us to return here ever again, then we went to our cupboard leaving them quite stunned. We closed it from the inside so that they couldn't open it, nor could they close it from the outside. Harry set his alarm for 7:30, and we went to sleep.
