Hey guys! I'm back! I finally had time to update, so I did. The past year or so has been INSANE and you do not understand how happy I am to post this new chapter. I really hope you liked it. A lot of you were asking for more letters, so I really hope you enjoy them! Please Review!

Vic,
I hate to be blunt, but I just wanted to know if you really wanted me to be a bridesmaid in your wedding. Teddy mentioned to me that he felt he should have a say in at least one of your bridesmaids, I mean, I already promised him I would do it, but if you don't really want me there, or you'd rather someone else be there, I'm totally fine with it. You always speak so highly of all your healer friends at Sunday dinner, I would hate to take a spot in your wedding away from one them. Because in all honestly, we've never been close. We've never really seen each other outside of family gatherings, and those times you used to babysit Fred and me when we were little. It just feel like you were forced to pick me for your bridal party, but it's your wedding. You should be able to pick who you want and I'll deal with Teddy later. Please just be honest, I can handle it.
Roxanne
P.S—If I am to do this whole bridesmaid thing, do I really have to wear a big puffy, frilly dress?

Roxy,
Of course I want you in the wedding! It means so much that you agreed to do it! Honestly, I never saw this as a thing you'd be interested in, but Ted really wanted you to represent him and his family in the wedding. The whole process has been really fun: picking flowers, centerpieces, colour schemes, you know, but sometimes it's hard on Ted. Weddings are supposed to be a time for celebration and family but sometimes it just gets too much for him. The reality that his mum, dad, and grandad have passed on is all too real. When we got around to picking, he tried to pick the people in his life that are extra special to him, to sort of 'stand in' rather than replace his family. You, Fred, James, Al, Lily all hold a special place in his heart, and I'm sure that's why he chose you. I remember you came up in the conversation once, and he told me, 'From what I hear about my mum, I'm sure she'd love Rox', and I thought it was the cutest thing. He loves you so much, and I do as well! I know that we aren't close, but believe me I want to be. I'm so jealous of the relationship Dom and Lou have with you that I don't, so all the better reason to be apart of the wedding party. As long as you're comfortable and willing, I'd love for you to still be a part in the wedding. And I'll definitely make time to spend with you, no matter what you choose.
All my love,
Victorie
P.S—To answer your question, yes, you would have to wear the dress, but I promise that they won't be big, frilly messes. I wouldn't wish one of those things on my worst enemy.

Dear Roxanne,
So, tonight at dinner, your Grandmum asks Ted and Vic about the wedding, and she happened to let slip the names of their bridesmaids. Needless to say, I was a bit shocked...
"Roxanne? My Roxanne, my daughter Roxanne? About yay high," I indicate with my hand, placing it slightly adjacent to the top of my shoulder, "Roxanne?"
"I mean that all depends," Teddy jokes from across the table. "You wouldn't happen to know any other woman by the name of Roxanne, would you, Uncle George?"
"So you're telling me that Roxanne, my Roxanne, our," I wag my pointer between Angelina and me, "Roxanne agreed to be a bridesmaid in a wedding?"
"YES!" Teddy and Victorie, both a tiny bit irritated, exclaimed in unison.
"What's got you in such a tizzy, George? There's nothing wrong with that, I would hope," Molly interjects.
"No, no...it's just...just...She knows that she has to wear a frilly bridesmaids dress, right?" I ask, being more serious than sarcastic.
"George Weasley, you are impossible!" Angelina slaps George hard on the shoulder.
"But honestly, does she know?" I repeat the question, as Angelina groans.
See, this is what I love about you. Just when we think that we have you all figured out, you go and shake things up. You constantly keep us all on our toes. It's hard to imagine you standing as bridesmaid in a wedding, but I gotta tell you, I'm so excited to see it. I mean, I never knew you and Victorie were even that close.
Things around the house are quiet. And I don't like it. Your Grandmum would always talk about how much she loved the silence of an empty house, but I don't like it one bit. I miss having you and Fred at home, and I miss the havoc you two never cease to wreck all around the house. Twin Tornadoes, that's what we used to call you two.
Your mum has been working extremely hard these past few months with the World Cup coming up next year and all. Most of the time, she's either in the office all day and/or all night or on some sort business trip to some other country's Ministry of Magic. She leaves for Dubai in a few days, and don't tell her, but, I'm not looking forward to being alone. It's one thing that you and Fred are gone, but her too? I know being made Head of the Department of Wizarding Games and Sports is her dream come true, but lately she's always away, and I want her home with me, Rox. She's never around, and when she is, she's to tired to do anything. Bloody Ministry's working her to the bone. I miss being able to just lay in bed with her on Saturday morning, or go take an walk around Diagon Alley. I'd give anything just spend some time with her, I mean I love this woman. If I could, I'd spend every single second of every single day with her. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I can't wait for this bloody World Cup to be done and over with, so she can just come home.
I don't really know why I was telling you all of that, but just disregard it. Please disregard that.
Even though it's months away, I'm counting down the days until you and Fred get to come home for Ted and Vic's wedding. I do miss my Twin Tornadoes, but I really miss my Roxy.
Can't wait to see you in a frilly dress,
Dad
