Months
****
Of course he didn’t want to celebrate when it was all over.

Why didn’t he know that we understood that?

We’d taken care of him all through the horror; why did he have to leave when it was all over?

Leave us.

Leave me.

Again.

Hermione and I were reluctantly caught up in the celebrations.

The Wizarding World thought we were being unnecessarily protective of his whereabouts, and we were thrown together more and more, sick of saying “I don’t know where he is,” and not being believed.

So, six months after he left, we got married.

Not a very good reason to get married?

I don’t know, I’ve never married anyone before.

I loved her.

I did.

Not like I loved him.

But it made her happy; it made my mum happy; it made the Wizarding World happy.

Their little hero and heroine, living happily ever after.

And, when Harry didn’t show up for our wedding, they even believed that we hadn’t seen him.

Life was good.

Life was exactly how I wanted it.

Before.


My Big Damn Table.
