Part 1 - Letters and Going To HQ's
It was beginning of their what should have been 7th year, if the war didn't come in between of their original timeline, but it would be their 8th year instead, and both Hermione and Neville had chosen to go back, but before they could do that, they had to tell people about themselves, and what is going on. As they were called over to the HQ at Grimmauld's Place, and it was Kingsley who had sent them the letter of invite and so on. And it read;
"Dear the Longbottoms',
You are hereby invited to an Order Meeting, despite that the war is over since May this past spring, early summer time. It will be on August 2nd, at 1 PM, shortly after a lunch that you are also welcomed to join us all at. Otherwise, at 1 PM is the time that the meeting begins. As I am only one who knows about your marriage that took place few months ago, just shortly after the war was over with, you are to tell the others' at the meeting at your discreation.
With Kindest Regards,
Minister Kingsley Samuel Shacklebolt."
Both Hermione and Neville shared a look, and nodded, they agreed to this meeting, but also to tell the others' about their marriage, as they also had infront of them, another different letter by Kingsley, that a new law would be revealed soon, just some twinks and twerks around it, to be finished but would be revealed on August 2nd, the same day as the Order meeting was to take place. He would tell them first, before it was to be revealed later that same day through their media forums.
So Hermione took a piece of parchment and her specially made quill, and wrote;
"Dear Kingsley or Minister of Magic;
We as in Hermione and Neville Longbottom will be there at 1 PM, as we are eating lunch at home first. And we will tell the others' that doesn't know already about our marriage has happened. One other thing, we have told Minerva or Professor McGonagell aswell Professor Sprout, Flitwick, Poppy Pomfrey, Healer of Hogwarts, and of course Neville's grandmother also knows now about our marriage. The teachers was told, so we could get a room of our own to live in while doing our last year of school. Augusta got to know before the marriage happened, and she was or is rather happy witch for her only grand-son to be married. So until next time we see you, have good day.
Love Hermione and Neville Longbottom. Lord and Lady of Longbottom, Granger-Dagworth families."
That last part would shock most, but he would be shocked to find out now in their letter, as Hermione was the last of Granger-Dagworth line, and Longbottom was Neville's of course, as his grandmother had recently died, and had her funeral just a week ago. It was very somber, but beautiful one for sure. She had cancer in her lungs, liver and heart, and it was too late to fix, so she died in their manor 2 weeks ago. It was only her, Neville and few of Augusta's close friends including Aberforth who also knew about their marriage from that point onwards, and he was very happy indeed for the two.
Augusta's other close friends were exicted for the two, and promised to keep it all quiet until after August 2nd, which they were to tell others' that didn't know about them being married in first place.
Minerva, their head of house, was shocked but very happy for the two, and with both Filius and Pomona aswell Poppy Pomfrey knowing about that aswell, they went ahead to get place in the castle ready by help of elves that wanted to help them out, and the room was just to be finished for their first day or evening at Hogwarts on September the 1st.
It would be a shocking meeting for sure. The day finally arrived, that morning; Hermione and Neville got up early as they always did, then had a breakfast together, then it was time to fix things around the Manor as they wanted to make it their own home, that included a larger library for Hermione's sake, and another big conservatory for Neville's plants to be taken care of, as he had an infinity for Herbology, and Hermione was very supportive of him.
They had afterall been together since last days of their 4th year in secret from everyone that they knew would not be ok or keep it quiet either. So they knew each other very well, and knew their best and worst sides.
After fixing some of it, they got showered, and dressed in their finest robes they got few weeks ago, and on them, were Longbottom and Granger-Dagworth emblems on them. Hermione had also made her hair be straight then into a beautiful, long braid that she let hang over her left shoulder. Neville was gorgeous looking in dark-midnight blue robes, and had fixed his hair back, as it was long enough to be in a small ponytail, and he also recently got one of his earsnibs pierced, and on his back left shoulder was a tattoo of a Niffler, that Hermione absolutely adored and she herself had one on her own left shoulder, that was of an Otter, her patronus form.
They got their things packed and ready, then they took floo powder, and together in arms, they said the name of the said place that the meeting was to be at, and off they went in a fiery poff.
