Chapter 1 - Wedding Cards and Married Life

A large black raven owl flew towards Number 21 Princeton Place, with a bulky red envelope carried by its beak. The envelope was very large, almost resembling a howler, except for the green lining that gave up the fact that it was actually a regular mail. The raven owl flew towards the open window, which was precisely located on the first story of the huge house.

Number 21 Princeton Place, was also known as the newly redeveloped Potter Mansion. Inside the house sat a lonely looking woman, roughly around her early twenties. She had bright ginger hair, intense blue eyes, and a very womanly figure. She was now, in the living room couch exhausted. You could tell by the pallid look her face that, she just had a very long day. She was currently waiting for her husband to return for work, so they can eat together. Her name was Ginerva Potter, otherwise known as Ginny.

Ginny was of course, all her life dreamed that one day she would be Mrs. Harry Potter, and finally her dream came true. Love surrounded every brick of their home. When they announced their marriage, it didn't come as a surprise either, because everyone just knew. Because you could just feel love radiating from them. Harry, whom never had a sense of love, nor family, couldn't be any happier. They both just fit so perfectly together.

Harry was an auror, full time at that. After finishing off Voldemort, it hadn't satisfied Harry, because there were still Death Eaters around and he wanted to make sure none of them ever terrorized the Wizarding world again.

A clatter was heard in the kitchen, Ginny jumped up. She just finished cleaning everything. What on earth would make that noise. Maybe it was the muggle contraption that Hermione got for them as a wedding present. That Toaster thing. Weird contraption. Ginny walked slowly to the kitchen expecting a mess, when she saw Malfoy's owl. She quirked her eyebrows. Why would Malfoy be writing to her? She slowly approached the owl, and saw a bulky red envelope on the tip of its beak. Ginny reached out and slowly took the envelope from it. Since it was Malfoy's owl, it would probably peck her, and the last thing she needed was to go to Azkaban for murdering Malfoy's owl. Ginny looked closely at the envelope. It was purely Gryffindor red, with a green lining with sliver snakes on the border line. Ginny frowned. She breathed in and out before she tore open the envelope. 'Please don't let it be… please don't let this be what I think it is.' preyed Ginny as she opened the envelope, and out popped a card, and a letter. Ginny let out a frustrated groan. She opened the letter first.

Dear Harry & Ginny,

I know this is going to seem as a shock to you both. Please don't be mad at me. Draco and I developed a wonderful friendship. We both cared for each other very much. His care soon turned to love, while I experienced no changes. I am 27, and was still single until Draco came into my life again. I hope you understand why I am doing this. Someone once told me "Never marry the man you love, but the man who loves you." and I am doing just that. I hope you understand. Without you two there, I am lost.

- Hermione Granger.

Two tears escaped Ginny's eyes as she realized that Hermione was making the biggest mistake of her life. And Ginny couldn't do anything about it.

The door bell rang, Ginny quickly wiped the tears that were rolling on to her cheek, and headed to answer the door. She smiled as she realized it was Harry.

"Hello love." said Harry as he kissed Ginny on the cheek. Ginny smiled but it didn't reach her eyes.

Harry scowled, "What's wrong Ginny?" asked Harry. Ginny, whom still had that letter clutched in her hand, handed it to Harry. Harry read the letter and re-read it once more. He sighed.

"Ginny we knew this was coming. After Ron, she shunned everyone, Malfoy was the only one to break the barrier, she held against the world. Don't you think it's time she settled down?" asked Harry.

"Settle down… FINE! But Harry she said so herself she doesn't love him." argued Ginny.

"Love isn't always the answer Gin, Hermione found her love, then lost him. Now, she needs the best she can get. And if that's Malfoy I am fine with it. I've been her best friend for years Gin. I love her, and care about her very much. I want to see her live a normal life, have child, and build a family full of love, as we are." said Harry, as he brushed his lips on Ginny's forehead. Ginny sighed.

"So, when is the wedding?" asked Harry.

"Wait, I'll go get the invitation." said Ginny, as she walked back to the kitchen again to get both the envelope, and the wedding card.

SCENEBREAK

Carrie Williams, now Carrie Black, was working for the Department of Mysteries, when she accidentally stumbled across Sirius Black. Carrie, was an unspeakable during the time, and was working on studying more about the tainted black Veil that was in the DOM. Nothing interested her more. Only the Veil, she spent a obsessive amount of time, studying the Veil. Since, she came from a family of purebloods, she also had access to many books on the Dark Arts. After months of studying, preparing, and exhausting her self, she finally found a way to bring someone back. But the trick was she could only bring back one person. It could be anyone, from anytime, anywhere. She could even bring back an old Dark Lord. The risks were high, but she could also save a demented soul from a life of peril inside the Veil.

One night, the shifts were all over, and the Ministry was open did she enter, and begin the spells, and enchantments to bring forward a body from the Veil. The total amount of time to bring one person back is a estimation of 6 months. Month after month passed, and still no avail. After the 5th month, many of the other unspeakable started to notice a change in the Veil itself. The Veil began to slowly move, the black curtains looked as if soft wind was passing through it. Never once did the Veil move, only when it swallowed a person whole. But the wind inside the Veil continued to blow non-stop, until finally 20 days after the movement started, a man was spit out from the Veil. A man with the name of Sirius Black. Sirius Black had returned, after 10 years.

SCENEBREAK

A wedding card, and envelope lay opened on the nightstand of a bedroom. The sheets of the bed were red and black, with a hint of a gold lining on the edges. The bed was made, the room exquisite. It was full of expensive antique furniture, stone cold marble floors, and iced brick walls the surrounded the bedroom. The room had a cold aura to it, but it was not at all cold, perhaps even the hottest room in all of Grimmauld Place. A man emerged from one of the door's in the bedroom. Wearing nothing but a towel, his shaggy black hair soaking wet; as it scraped his shoulders, his well defined jaw covered with little droplets of water, his chest and his torso wet; he looked as if he just got out of the shower.

A woman shrieked as she entered the bedroom. She was dressed in grey slacks, a white button up shirt, and a cloak. The woman had straight blonde hair, high cheek bones, rosy lips, and mesmerizing blue orbs.

"Sirius Black! How many times do I have to tell you, to DRY YOURSELF IN THE BATHROOM! Not in our bedroom!" yelled the blonde.

Sirius grunted, and pulled his towel from his waist and began to dry his hair. The blonde blushed a bright shade of crimson. Sirius laughed.

"We've been married 6 months now Carrie. Get used to seeing me naked." smirked Sirius.

Carrie flushed another shade of red. "Sirius be serious." said Carrie, and burst out laughing at the irony of her sentence. Sirius too joined her. "Carrie, I am always Sirius." said Sirius.

"Yeah, I see." said Carrie, as she began to giggle again. Carrie walked out the room shaking her head, giving Sirius privacy to change. After she left, Sirius frowned. Even though they were married for 6 months already, they still had so many things to hide. Sirius truly cared about Carrie, she was the only one who was there for him day and night when he was in St. Mungo's. Harry came and went, but it was Carrie who stuck by his side, day and night. Never giving up on him. Many thought that he came back dead, because right when the Veil released him he went straight into coma. It took him a year to completely recover. After that Sirius and Carrie began seeing each other, after many nights of thinking, and Harry giving him the extra push, he decided it was time they get married. Their marriage was small, and formal. Everyone who attended had been family or really close friends. Sirius never claimed he fell in love with Carrie, but he knew this will do. He wanted a family of his own. Sirius had been through enough hell in his life, now it was his chance to feel the warmth of a family. Feel the love. Sirius assured himself, that after a while he will begin to love Carrie. For now, he could only care.

SCENEBREAK

A/N: Next Chapter wedding…. Sirius & 'Mione have a chat…. Yeah… Carrie is one of the main characters…. I made her up… Lol. Harry and Ginny are there because I love them… so Sirius came back 10 years later, that means that Harry was 25 when he came back from the Veil, so that meant Hermione was 26. Right. Okay so that means that Sirius is still 8 years older than her. Okay. That's all. Tell me what you think folks!
