6 Aftermath, Announcement and Letter

Tomorrow is the day I will be turning 11 and my 2nd magic maturity, I look over to my side and I see daphne sleeping ' she looks very cute when sleeping ' , today was quite hectic after healing the longbottom and coming home her and i spent about 2 hours replying to all of the letter's we received and Daphne personally wrote the reply for all the marriage contract letter's I was about to burn every single one of the letter's but Daphne stopped me because it will not be good for my image as the heir of such a prestigious house i should at least have the courtesy to reply to their letters, So yeah quality time with her was spent writing replies to the letter's but among them were a few interesting one like Mr and Mrs Flamel asking about the spell I used to achieve this feat I sent them a copy of few ancient healing spells and Dumbledore asking if I want to be nominated for a order of Merlin medal, I of course said yes , and after wasting 3 hours of our time replying to letters we both were free but came Lunch time .

We were joined by my family and surprisingly her family as well we all were celebrating on my accomplishment and since Daphne and i sitting together her mother noticed this and teased us about how we are not even married and already acting like a couple even my grandmother joined in we both had our lunch in embarrassed and Daphne had turned completely red and when we both finished our lunch she dragged me to my room locked the door and we both went to sleep , with her sleeping next to me.

I woke up sometime around evening her family had already left i carefully got up so as not to wake her up , i walked outside towards the large balcony and i started to reminisce on my life in this world how i managed to save a few people got a loving family, a beautiful girl that will spen the rest of her life with me and some powers to help me to help others and I just sat there just watching the sky was slowly turning dark , i heard footsteps and daphne came and sit beside me," It's beautiful" she said " yes yo-it is beautiful" She blushed a bit and said " will you stop staring at me" i smiled and said " never " she then looked me in the eyes " will you ever betray me and fall for someone else " i didn't hesitate to answer "Never " she buried her face in my chest and we stayed like that for a bit till an owl came flying with a Letter which had the symbol of ministry of magic and it said I have been nominated for the Order of Merlin which was going to be presented to me on 17th January 1991.

When I showed it to everyone they were shocked and then congratulated me , Daphne actually decided to stay the night and go home the next day.

Morning came i noticed something change as i noticed I was a bit taller than my usual hight , i immediately checked my magic has become more dense and my magic reserves have become bigger like 6 times than it was before, sun was not yet risen I went and did my morning exercise then freshen up i noticed my room doors open and I see daphne walking in and I said " good morning" and she said " not now I want to sleep a bit more " and then climbed onto my bed and i also decided to take a nap with her and just went to sleep beside her .

It was about 9 in the morning when I opened my eyes again I see daphne staring at me then she smiled and said " Happy birthday " i said " thank you but you know your second to wish me " She looked devastated and asked "who" and I said " lammy " and she pouted cutely and punch me in my arms and just hugged me after staying like that for a while we both decided to get out of bed i went to the living room and she went to her room and yes she has a permanent room in the castle just for her .

I arrived at the main entrance and moved towards the East wing of the castle passing by I saw my grandmother who was sitting in the bench outside the garden and went to her and asked her about what she did then I asked her to check my magic reserves she did and said my reserves were equal to Aurors and very seasoned wizards and i trusted her as she is very good at it can accurately depict these things we talked a bit more walked around the garden for a bit and then we went to get our breakfast after that mom and daphne started to arrange the castle for my birthday and I in my dad's office replying to letters and he was in the hospital working as always and my grandmother was reading something in the library and chilling.

I read the newspaper and apparently I am now considered as the royal saint i really cringed at the title and my dad had the same opinion as me but we were voted out by mom , daphne and grandmother as they thought it was a great title .

Anyway evening came very few guests arrived as i didn't want to throw a big party just with friends and family first were the Greengrass family then came Dumbledore along with Hagrid and professor McGonagall next came the bones family after a few hours came Longbottom family and few of my relatives from my grandmother side came as well after that the party started and ended by 10:30 pm after everybody had their dinner daphne left with her family.

As days go by my turn to take the Order of Merlin First Class was given to me by Minister for Magic for creating one of the most powerful healing spell to date.

After the ceremony we went home everything started to return to a sence of normalcy and life continues till I got the shock of my life when my parents told me that I was going to have a sibling I then asked " why wait tell now " my mom said " Well you and daphne are going to Hogwarts and we need a few children in the house so we will have another one to take care of while you are away " I just said " ok " and walked away as I was polishing my agies umbra to the point i can deploy it in milliseconds but my mom thought that I was thinking that they didn't care about me anymore so to show her love the just hugged me continuosly for a day and it took a week of convincing to get her to stop hugging me all the time.

Finally months went by came 27th of may Daphne's birthday came i went to Greengrass estate early in the morning and see only Astoria is awake so I played with her till 8 and Mrs Greengrass came to the sitting room and asked Astoria and I to go wake up daphne we went to her room and Astoria ran and jumped on her bed to wake up daphne and left then I walk an sit in her bed and said " Good morning and Happy birthday " she smiled so brightly and said " A very good morning to you too and thank you" for some reason she was a bit too happy then she wrapped her arms around my said "today we are going to announce our engagement and I am proud to have such a great fiance" i then smile and kissed her on the cheek and she does the same and i accidentally blurted out " Ah I love this girl so much " my eyes widened in realisation she blushed and said " I love you too" this i kissed her on her lips a bit deeply and ran away and she blushed too much and we were awkward for most of the day .

Evening came multiple noble families, High government officials and important people came to her birthday and finally our engagement was announced few months back I had also taken the heirship of Eldervale and Seraphim house, so she

her political and social standing increased a lot not just because of our houses but also due to who she was engaged to Solaris Eldervale, Youngest Master of Mindarts in the History of Mindarts,Youngest to ever receive The First Class Order of Merlin and The Royal Saint this title was not going away anytime soon as I saved multiple people from dire and incurable diseases and curses and even made the Wolfsbane Potion that allowed werewolves to be in control even after they transformed and sold the potion at an affordable price through my own company with a collaboration of the Greengrass family that made me extremely rich , let's leave my accomplishment aside now Daphne is engaged to me made big news as she was seen as this cold person she still does that infront of everybody I don't know why and is considered generally cold hearted and I was seen as this guy who is like a sun and generally a very warm and kind person that greets everyone with a smile.

Next day this news made the headlines

' THE MOON PRINCESS ENGAGEMENT WITH THE SUN PRINCE ' their naming sense is very dramatic and me , my dad and even Daphne's dad all agree as this was unnecessary but we got voted out again by five to three .

Anyway July came and this is the month where children usually get their letter of acceptance mine and daphne came at the same time as she was at our place when the letters came;
