Chapter 38: Invitations go out
"Arthur Look!" Mrs. Weasley shrieked.
"Yes?" Mr. Wealsey asked looking over his copy of the Daily Prophet.
"They're finally tying the knot. Oh how wonderful." Mrs. Weasley said handing a crème colored card over to her husband. Arthur looked at it, the front said "Come and Celebrate" in big loopy dark silver writing outlined in black. A bow was tied on the front in silver and blue, the colors of the Black Family crest. He set his paper down and opened the card.
You are invited to come and celebrate the marriage of
Sirius Black & Faith Sloom
On the evening of
June, 31st
Outside of Tela Villa.
The Ceremony will take place at 6 p.m.
At the bottom of the card Faith had personally written "Bring the whole family!"
"About time." Arthur said smiling.
"About time the two got married." Remus said looking over the card with his wife.
"Seriously…and where is this Tela Villa? I've never heard of it before." Sarah asked.
"I've heard of it…some place out far…can't remember where. It's a muggle place."
"Why would Faith want to get married at a muggle villa?" Sarah asked. Remus shrugged and replied
"Maybe it was Sirius's idea."
"Whats that Harry?" Hermione asked.
"I don't know…" He said turning it over and opening the card in his hand. He pulled out a thick crème colored card.
"It's an invitation." He said after reading it. He handed it over to Hermione.
"Yeah…Mum just sent me a letter. She says we're going." Ron said.
"Oh…well that will be fun. I hope you guys take a picture for me while your all fancied up-" Hermione started to say but stopped when a thick envelope landed in her lap.
"Looks like your coming too." Ron said with a grin.
"Look at this Minerva." Dumbeldore said handing a thick card to McGonagall. She took it and opened it. Her eyes quickly scanned it and a smile strecthed across her face.
"It's about time."
Severus Snape was just getting into bed when a white owl flew into his room and dropped an envelope onto his bed. He looked at the envelope puzzled and opened it. Reading it made his heart stop. His blood ran cold and he crushed the envelope in his hands. It was more than the fact that he had been invited. How could anyone think that he would want to go? Just rubbing salt on the wound. What made it worse was what Sirius had written at the bottom of the invitation.
"You were only invited cause of her. Don't try a thing."
