Letting go
Chapter 1 – Goodbye's are not forever
Hermione, stood in the doorframe of her daughters changing room in a little room across from the church hall. A sad smile came across her face. She was looking at her 21-year-old daughter.
Serena was getting married that afternoon and she stood in her wedding dress having her hair and make up done by professional stylists Lav and Pav. (Lavender Brown and Pavati Patel). Serena was a true beauty, she had long straight brown hair and big brown eyes. She was pale skinned so it made the brilliant white dress stand out.
The dress was a 2 piece with a Majorca pink flower on each section. She was to wear a shimmering tiara on her head, curtsy of her father's family.
The 4 brides maids were also in the room, Alice and Jessica where her daughters best friends and the other two were her father's cousins, Ebony and Sky. They were dressed in a light pink dress to match the Majorca flower on the wedding dress. Serena held a bouquet of white roses and the bride's maids held miniature bouquets.
Pav and Lav noticed Hermione at the door so they quickly finished up and left. Hermione walked over to her daughter and looked in her eyes, Serena was practically identical to her mother, only Hermione had curly hair.
"Serena, you father wants to see you" Hermione said softly "You look beautiful honey" Hermione blabbed
"Don't cry mum, you'll make me start" Serena joked, eyes watering
"Come now, don't ruin your make up" Hermione said giving her daughter one last hug before leaving the room, making way for her husband to come in.
"Daddy" Serena acknowledged quietly as her father walked in.
"Your mothers right, you are beautiful" he said
"Thank you"
"He's one lucky man is James, hope he knows it, baby"
"He does daddy, trust me"
Hermione smiled as she watched them, stood back at the door, less in view. Serena had always been a daddy's girl and he doted on her so much more than their 3 sons, Jordan, 25, Adam and Jack 24.
Hermione knew that today was going to be one of the hardest days of her husbands life was married would be one of the hardest her husband would ever endure for Serena was the only daughter of theirs and the youngest of their 4 children. When their sons married it wasn't as hard for her to say goodbye as it would be for them to hand over their daughter.
Hermione smiled at the nickname that her father called her daughter, Baby. It had been a name for her since she was born and no one, not even her fiancée was allowed to call her that, it was a name for only from her father. Hermione left her thoughts and continued listening.
"Daddy, you have to let me go" Serena said to her father
"Bye baby"
"Daddy, its not good bye, ill still see you and mum"
"It is goodbye to my little girl"
"I guess, Daddy?"
"Yes, baby"
"I'm not your baby anymore. You have to say goodbye to that"
"I know, daddy too I guess?"
"No, you'll always be my daddy" Serena hugged her father. Hermione re-entered the room.
"Serena, its time honey"
"Thanks mum"
Hermione left the room, soon after the church organ started to play and Serena reached for her fathers out stretched arm. He gave her one last smile as they walked out of the room and across the corridor and to the front doors of the chapel where Serena was to be married. They both held their heads up high and started walking down the aisle.
"Goodbyes, aren't forever, daddy" Serena whispered. Her father kissed her cheek and then joined his loving wife and 3 sons at the front of the rows of chairs. Hermione held his hand all through the ceremony.
As soon as the vicar introduced the couple, Hermione leant into her husband and whispered
"Just remember what she told you. Goodbyes aren't forever" she kissed his cheek, as he leant in to hug her.
