Chapter 11
"So how did things go with Draco," Helena asked later that night.
"Odd... I don't know how to explain it, but it was weird. We talked and it was like I had no idea who he was. He's a lot kinder since I last saw him. But it doesn't matter. I'll probably only see him at the occasional party we are both at."
Helena looked a bit disappointed; her scheme hadn't gone as planned... at least they had talked.
"Oh well... Hey Rachel?"
"Yeah," Rachel asked as she looked up at her friend from petting Teddy's hair. Helena was in cottony pants and a tank top. Rachel herself donned pajama shorts and a tank top.
"Thanks... for everything. Today was amazing."
"Hermione did everything. I only handled the guest list."
"Not according to her. She said that you gave a general idea of what I'd like for every aspect and she just put it together and added her own ideas. So, again, thank you. Your a great friend."
"No problem. I couldn't let you have a bad wedding. You and George are my friends."
Rachel hugged her friend. When they separated, Rachel added, "You should get upstairs and finish packing. George says he is taking you out for breakfast tomorrow before you leave."
"Thanks for the advice."
Rachel smiled at her friend and Helena returned the gesture. As Helena went back up the stairs, she thought of the many adventures her and her friends had gone on and thanked the world for the miracle of knowing such amazing people. People that felt the same way back. Of this, she could be sure of.
