Summary: On September 1st, 2017, two girls meet, both unaware of the connection their parents share. Follow Lily Jessen and Rose Weasley on a journey of discovery. Set in the same universe as With All My Love, however, it is not necessary to read it.

Dear Ron,
I wasn't sure about leaving, but I'm happier than I've ever been.
I'm married now, to a muggle. She doesn't know that I'm a wizard, and I intend to keep it that way. We have two children, and they are oblivious to the magical world.
I know you probably don't want to hear this, but unless my wife gets her hands on the post before I do, my children will never enter Hogwarts, and I will, if I have to, bind their magic, so they are not subjected to the hidden dangers.
Magic will always be beautiful, and I will never let it go, but I have no wish to reenter the magical world, with or without my family.
I'm truly sorry,
Harry.

Ron clutched the letter in his hand, his heart breaking, yet a small smile was on his lips.

Harry was happy.

That was the point in everything; for Harry to be happy.

Ron had taken a long time to accept that Harry left, but after Hermione sat him down and explained why, he forgave Harry, but somewhere in his heart, he had hoped that Harry would come home.

Even though that hope was now shattered, he knew that it was probably for the best.

But now, as Hermione entered the room, his son on her hip, and his daughter trailing behind her, he knew he couldn't keep this from her. It was a letter from their best friend.

"Hermione, love," He softly said, gaining her attention, "You need to read this… its from Harry."

Ron said it cautiously, unsure of how she'd react. She didn't respond for a moment, putting Hugo in his high chair. Once he was settled, she looked up, her eyes shining with hope, and uttered, "Harry who?"

He wanted to quote his sister, saying 'Harry Potter, of course', but he thought better of it, glancing to the children at the table. Finally, after a few moments of thinking, he finally said "Out best friend."

She instantly reached out on took the letter, her eyes filled with a hope he hasn't seen before, but he watched it fade away, and a hard look overcame her face, but she was betrayed by watery eyes.

She handed it back, and with a quick 'excuse me', she left the room, leaving Ron to handle his children.

Rose, his daughter, turned to him and asked as Hugo started to cry, "Why is mummy sad?"

Ron opened his mouth to answer but he found he couldn't, so he busied himself making breakfast and acted like the letter didn't exist.

That night, he put it in a box with all the things that ever belonged to Harry and hid it so Hermione would never find it.

He hated seeing his wife so upset.
