your invited

Enrico's POV

It's finally starting to feel real.

We picked a date. We have a location—under the same glowing willow in the forest where Sev and Luc asked us to bond. And now, it's time to invite everyone we love.

Honestly, I've been stressing about the guest list. Not because I don't want people there, but because it's the first big celebration since the babies were born. And I want it to be perfect—for them, for Art, for Sev, for Luc... and maybe even for me.

Sev helped me enchant the parchment so that each invitation folds itself into a little silver bird that flies off to deliver the message directly. Luc kissed me on the forehead and told me I was "adorably obsessive" over the details. Art just sat beside me, letting our little girl curl up on his chest while he helped me seal each scroll.

I still can't believe we're here. Planning a bonding ceremony. With babies giggling in the background and warm cups of tea always on hand.

I decided to write one open letter to everyone we're inviting. I figured it was more personal that way.

The Letter:

To our dearest friends and family,

We are writing with hearts full of love and excitement to invite you to witness something truly special—our bonding ceremony.

The four of us—Luc, Sev, Art, and myself—will be uniting our souls in a magical bonding ritual. This isn't just a promise of love, but of family, unity, healing, and strength.

We would be honoured for you to join us as we take this next step together.

🕊️ Date: 10th August
🌳 Location: The Willow Clearing behind the castle (you'll know it by the glowing leaves)
🌟 Dress Code: Comfortable, enchanted, and expressive—come as your truest self.

We also can't wait to introduce you—formally—to the newest lights in our lives:

Amara snape-malfoy, daughter of Art and me. Her name means "eternal serenity," and she already lives up to it.

Theodore (Theo) snape-malfoy, son of Luc and Sev. He's as curious and brave as his name suggests.

They've already stolen all our hearts.

Finally, we'd like to thank two very special people: my dads, Remus Lupin and Sirius Black. Thank you for raising me with love, courage, and more tea than I ever thought possible. You will always be the example I strive to follow.

We hope you'll come celebrate with us—eat, dance, hold babies, and cry (because we all know I will).

With all our love,
Ric, Art, Sev, and Luc

Back to Enrico's POV

I watch the final scroll turn into a silver bird and fly off into the sky.

Art wraps an arm around me, his other already gently rocking Amara in her little blanket. Luc and Sev are near the fire, Theo dozing against Luc's chest.

Everything is quiet. Safe. Soft.

And for the first time in my life, I don't feel like I'm trying to survive. I feel like I'm living—really living—with people who make even the hardest days worth it.

This bonding ceremony isn't just a celebration of love.

It's the start of forever.
