Letters to Lily
March 1979
Hey Lily,
I hope this letter reaches you well - and if it doesn't, blame that useless future husband of yours. I entrusted him with its safe delivery, Godric knows why.
Cass said you had a riot with Jim meeting your family the other day. I swear that boy must have ignored every piece of advice she gave him, but I heard it ended up well in the end - with your parents at least. I'm sorry about Tuney. But maybe she'll come round? I know I wasn't too impressed with Fabian when I first met him (or was it Gideon?). Who knows, maybe she'll change her mind? We're all still young after all - or at least I am, ha!
I hear you're taking a break from missions for a while after your run in with Moldy. The gang just wants you safe, but I know how hard it is to be sitting on the sidelines. Trust me. So I thought I would ask if you wanted to come set up shop with me for a bit? Cass says you're a dab hand at all the healing stuff, and it would be really helpful to have an extra pair of hands? Up to you of course, I know you have a lot on your plate with the wedding coming up.
Keep your chin up, Lily-flower.
All my love,
Em

Wakey wakey Sunshine. Coffee is on the table when you get up, I've got the stock delivery ready downstairs. Oh, and a parcel arrived for you from Danders.
P.S. I love you.

Em,
If Lily asks me one more question about the difference between eggshell and cream, I might scream. Please, please, please can you ask Cass to answer her letters. I'm not built for being a maid of honour, I'm a best man.
I'm serious.
In need of desperate help,
Sirius

Hullo Em,
Hope all is well with you!
I wanted to write to thank you about the Sirius suggestion. Took longer to crack him than I thought, but apparently asking him for his thoughts on fuchsia and salmon pink seemed to do the trick.
Planning weddings are hard, Em. Half of me just wants to elope to Vegas at this point. I know what you're thinking, why put myself through all this hassle when I'd rather elope? I think it's important for everyone to have something to look forward to. I'd rather ask Sirius his thoughts on roses or tulips, than his preference on night watch or day watch. It seems like madness, but this wedding is bringing some brevity to the weight that's hanging on all of our shoulders right now.
In terms of next week, would Monday afternoon be ok for arrival? I have a few final things to clear up with James and my parents but I am in desperate need of a break - even if that break is just patching people up after missions.
Let me know what you think?
Love and kisses,
Lily

Em,
What do you mean Lily is refusing to see me the night before the wedding? Have I done something wrong? What do you mean by tradition? Fuck Em, give me some answers please!
James

Cass,
I hope all is well with your mother up in Scotland. I sent her a letter earlier this week, but please pass on that I hope she is feeling better soon.
I had planned to speak to you when you returned, but since you've been delayed a few days I was wondering if we could book some time in when you get back?
It's nothing urgent, just something I want to get your thoughts on.
Stay safe,
Remus

Have you asked her yet?
