The back door opened on Lucy.

Edmund, diner is served!

Lucy!

he put the Weasley's bag down and ran to hold her in his arms.

I've missed you, sister!

You've missed me... during the last five minutes? She asked, confused.

And he let her go. That's when she noticed Edmund's dirty clothes.

look at the state of you! She said. What happened to you, and where is your cap?

It's a long story. So you don't remember anything?

What should I remember?

Hermione...

who's Hermione?

The young queen then finally noticed Luna. She seemed to be in the same state as he was, and there was even blood on her white shirt.

are you Hermione? She asked.

No, no no, Edmund said. This is Luna. Luna Lovegood. Hermione is...

the most brilliant witch of her generation, Luna completed.

A witch?! Lucy reacted.

No, not that kind of witch, Edmund said. She's a good witch. Like Coriarkin, or Ramandu's daughter. Luna is a witch, too.

I'm glad to see you again, Lucy. It's funny how much older you are.

See me again?

Yes, right, you don't remember, Edmund said. But something happened. I went back to Narnia.

You went back to Narnia? But Aslan said...

yeah, I know, except it's not like that. I went back with Hermione, during our first time there. Before we became kings and queens. And so, so many things have changed. I'm not the one who betrayed us, anymore. Well, yes I am, but so I'm not! And after that, we went to Hermione's world, and that's where I met Luna. And then we went to Hogwart for the great battle, and Aslan sent you, Peter, Susan and Caspian to help us win the battle, and we did it! And Hermione used the time turner Santa gave her, and she saved Harry, and Harry defeated Voldemort because all the horcruxes had been destroyed.

What? Edmund, what are you going on about? I can't understand half of what you say. Are you sure you're okay?

Don't worry Lucy, Luna said. Your brother is as sane as I am.

Lucy sent her another look, and wondered how someone with radishes as earrings could be considered sane. But she had learnt not to judge a book by its cover, and was more concerned about the blood.

you said there was a battle, she said have you been injured?

No, I'm alright. It's someone else's blood. She was bitten by a werewolf. It's quite messy, but she made it out.

Aunt Alberta could have a heart-attack if you come in like that. I'll see what I can do to find you new closes.

Oh, don't bother.

She took out her wand, and cast a tergeo on Edmund, and then on her, giving them presentable clothes. Lucy saw this as a proof his brother wasn't mad. And she had another proof a few second later, when a portal opened a few meters away from her. She saw a tall, thin man and a woman with a rather stern face step out of it.

Priestess, Edmund saluted. If I may say, you look better than before.

The woman had a smile.

Good day to you, King Edmund. Good day, Queen Lucy. Good day, Luna. Congratulations, Edmund. You did a great job. I am pleased to announce everything is back to normal.

Edmund smiled, but his smile slowly faded away.

I'm guessing you've come to take Luna, right? I suppose she can't stay here, because we have to keep the balance of the worlds.

On the contrary, the tall man said. You were right to take Luna with you. You made Fred Weasley's survival permanent. This way a life is "lost" when another is given back.

So we didn't come to take Luna away from you, the woman completed. We came to give you a reward.

A reward? Edmund repeated.

The woman gave him a small bracelet.

we gave the same to Miss Granger. They will allow you to open portals between both of your worlds. The portals won't be opened for more than a few seconds, but you can open as many as you want. We also have another gift.

Indeed, the tall man said. The Priestess told your grand actions to our Queen – which is my wife – and as the evil originated from her planet, she decided to offer you citizenship from our kingdome. So, whenever you want to leave this little planet of ours – definitly or not – you will know where to go.

Thank you very much. And how is Ben? Edmund asked.

He's fine, the woman answered. He's resting and coming round from his little experience. His wife cursed me with all her heart, but he's fine.

That's a good news, Luna said in an aerial tone.

The woman then gave Edmund a little square box, which he could open to show a keyboard showcasing numbers from 0 to 9.

this is a telephone, she explained. It works exactly like yours, except you can carry it around. My number is recorded in it. If you need to contact us, whatever the reason, you just have to select my number, and press the green button. Would you like to try it?

The young king nodded, and followed the instructions she gave him. He found it to be rather simple. A music sounded, and she took another device out of her pocket. He supposed it might be another telephone, although the design was completely different.

this is a more recent one, she confirmed, answering his silent question.

She answered the phone, showing him everything was working perfectly.

a perfect phone call, she said, causing the man to roll his eyes. If you need anything, do call.

They then crossed back the portal, which closed behind them.

A few monthes later, oncle Harold's house phone rang. It was Peter, who wanted to talk to his brother.

hello?

Ed? I need to talk to you. Something strange happened.

I'm listening.

Well, Susan and I were enjoying a stroll in Central Park when two guys came out of the blue. They asked me if I was High King Peter, and if it was my sister next to me.

What did they look like?

Tall guys, ginger hair.

Did one of them lack an ear?

What? I don't know. I didn't really pay attention to their ear.

What did they want?

They said we were all invited to their brother's wedding, and their mother sent them.

Did they say anything else.

They said you and "loony" better be there because if you weren't, the bride would be real pissed. And then they said we were expected at the Burrow on june the 21th 2000. I suppose it's kind of a joke, but how do they know who we are?

Where are you, right now? Is Susan with you?

Yeah, we're back at the flat.

Okay, stay were you are, I'm coming.

What?!

And he hung up the phone.

Luna! Can you apparate us at my brother's flat? Apparently, there's a big news. I think Hermione and Ron are getting married.

Hold on to my arm.

And a few seconds later, Peter and Susan let out a scream of surprise when then saw their brother appear, accompanied by a blond girl. Edmund sat on the nearest chair, and took a few quick breaths.

are you okay? Luna asked.

He nodded, and she smiled, before frowning.

your face looks weird. Oh, yes got it. You've left an eyebrow behind. Stay still.

She took out her wand, and cast a spell, fixing the eyebrow.

you've got it quite easy, she said. Most people get sick after apparating. Dean told me he left half of his body behind him, for his first time. It was rather ridiculous, and everyone laughed, including him.

Well, it's not my first time. I had quite a lot of practice with Hermione.

Ermm... Hello, Peter said.

Oh, yes, sorry, Edmund said. Hi, peter, how are you.

Ermm... yes. And you must be... Loony?

Edmund's face closed instantly.

her name is Luna. Only Fred and George can call her Loony.

It's okay, love, Luna reacted with her usual sweetness. He couldn't know, could he? So we're invited to a wedding, then?

In year 2000? it has to be a joke.

No, Peter, it's not. That's what I wanted to tell you. The two guys you met were probably Fred and George, or at least they were Weasleys. I've met them a few monthes ago. They come from another world. Luna's world.

We were in school together. Well, I was in the same year as their younger sister. The year I met them was the year the left school, in a real firework. They are funny, I'm glad they're both alive.

Alive? Susan repeated. Edmund, can you explain?

Well, the world they come from was recently at war. A war between good wizzards and evil wizzards. The last battle took place in the british school of wizzardry, and we were there. In fact you went there twice. For the battle, and then, after, or before, just before Caspian's corronation.

You represented narnia in the three wizzards tournament, which became the five wizzards tournament that year, Luna continued. I remember this very well, because this year at the Yule ball, it was the first time Edmund invited me to dance.

Yes, well my younger version. I went with Lucy. You, Susan, you went with Caspian, and I remember you, Peter, you danced all night with the oldest version of Hermione. At the the end of the evening, you said you hoped you would dance again with her, and she said she would save you a dance at her wedding. You were very present for her during the tournament.

So who's getting married? Susan asked.

It must be Ron and Hermione.

But why would they want to see us?

She was with you in Narnia. While me and the younger me were captives of Jadis. Oh, that's too long to explain!

Listen, Luna interfered. It's simple. You are invited to a wedding. You knew the bride, even though you don't remember her. Your presence matters to her, and she saved a dance for Peter. Edmund and I are going. What to you do.

The young king smiled at her. She had a talent to simplifie things. He thanked her with a kiss. The two others exchanged a look.

alright, Susan finally said. I think it is our duty to go.

Yes... especially if she saved me a danse..., Peter said, slightly overwhelmed.

Luna, could you go and get Lucy? Edmuned asked. I'm sure she will be glad to finally meet Hermione.

Luna smiled, gave her another kiss, and disappeared.

so, ermm... Peter started. You and... Luna? Right?

Yes. I'm in love with her.

And she's a... she's a witch.

Yes. She's a good witch. Believe it or not, magic does exist in our world. Well, I can't cast spells anymore, except with the one use wands Fred and George gave me. But Luna can still do magic.

So, you cast spells?

Yes. You did too, a few basic one, when you represented the Narnian school of magic. We were supposed to be the best students, so obviously you had to know a few spells. I was the champion, so I had to do more.

In a tournament, right?

Yes.

Did you win?

I did. I had to.

And... how did you meet Luna?

We were both locked up in the same dungeon. There was a bad wizzard who wanted to question me, and he wanted to torture her to make me speak. I thought it was my dutty to take care of her, and we fell in love.

I see...

and an uneasy silence fell on the flat. Luckily, Luna soon came back, with Lucy at her arm.

this is the most horrible way of traveling, ever, the young queen complained.

The witch gave her a compassionate look, and the five of them changed clothes, to put on a more wedding-worthy outfit. Edmund then used the bracelet the priestess had given him, and opened a portal.
