Okay. First of all. I doubt any of you are even going to read this because I haven't updated it for months and I owe those of you whose fanfics I was reading and those of you who read this then an apology.

My life fell totally to pieces and I never had anytime to catch up and when I took longer catching up it got harder to do so because there was even more for me to catch up on and I just basically wasted my summer trying to get myself back on track which didn't really work because I was doing alright again and then I got some horrible news of one of my close family members being hospitalized so now I have been spending time there instead of writing and urgh. Everything didn't work.

But I just basically fished this out of my drawer and went. Go. I am updating now.

So here you go. A long overdue update and I feel terrible that it isn't better or longer. I am sorry about all this.

Chapter 8 – Completed Jigsaw Puzzles Part II

Harry felt that horribly familiar feeling of being pulled out of the memory again.

"Wh-" he began, only to have Lupin raise his hand in silence.

Rapid knocks sounded at the bedroom door. Harry understood.

"Come in" Lupin replied to them. Tonks entered the room, followed by Hermione.

"We need to get ready," Tonks said whilst Hermione rumaged through the clothes piled up, trying to find her own outfit. "Everyone's arriving – I'll tell you now – half of the wizarding community is here! Why on earth Fleur's mother insisted on having such an open wedding during times like these I'll never know! It's a good job the order and auror squad are among those invited" Tonks told them, explaining to Harry the bitterness he'd heard in Mrs Weasley's voice when she'd mentioned Fleur's mother earlier. Harry wondered if she was as bad as Sirius' mother.

"Harry, Hermione" Lupin said after a short silence in the room. "Just keep an eye out for anything od, unusual or anyone causing trouble."

"Except us two!" Chirped in Fred, as he walked in the doorway, followed closely by George.

"No, actually, we haven't planned anything for once." George said, looking at Hermione.

"Good" she said, leaving with her wedding clothes slung over her shoulder.

"Come on then," Lupin said with enthusiasm that Harry rarely heard "lets get a move on and get ready! We've got," he paused to look at his watch "25 minutes!" he exclaimed.

Everyone seemed to snap into action upon the revelation of the time. They all went their separate ways to get ready. It wasn't long before Mrs Weasley was ushering them all down to the garden, where the wedding was to take place.

He looked around the garden at the guests, who had already seated themselves: good for Harry and Ron – their job was already done and they hadn't even done anything.

Harry looked around for Hermione who he was sitting next to for the service.

He spotter her sitting in the second row. She had straightened her hair again and was wearing pale lilac dress robes. Harry had to admit that she looked good. His thoughts flickered to Ginny. He wondered what she would be wearing.

He, himself, was wearing his same green dress robes that he'd worn in his fourth year for the yule ball. Mrs Weasley had increased the size of them for him how he did not know but there was always a way.

As he took his seat next to Hermione Mr Weasley walked onto the isle.

"Could everyone find their places please as the ceremony is about to begin." He said loudly over the chatter.

There you go. Terrible. I am extremely sorry. You have no idea how sorry I am. That is just, shall we say a taster before I start getting back into the full swing of things. That is just to see if anyone will still read it I guess. Please review so I know whether to continue and if I was reading your fanfic then I promise I will catch up with it very soon and leave a review on every chapter that I missed even though I know on a particular favourite fic of mine there were over 40 chapters added!

Till we meet again….
