One year ago, I sent off a birthday note to a dear friend. I had to send the owl one-way, couldn't say anything of substance, and I couldn't even sign my name to it.

What a difference a year makes!

I hope you have a very happy birthday tomorrow, Remus. Your package should get there in the morning, Merlin willing, and I'm so very happy that I can talk about it with you here. We've certainly managed to make up for some lost time over the past few months, although it will never be enough for me. How many cups of tea can possibly make up for so many missed years?

I'm so glad you can be a godfather to Kevin, and the work you've been doing with the shop and Tonks has been invaluable. You've done so much for all of us in such a very short time, and I cannot imagine how we would have been able to accomplish all we have this past year without your help.

My life is much happier with you in it.

And I know you must be worried about Tonks, love, I'm sorry that it's cast a bit of a pall over things, but I hope you are able to have a bit of happiness on your birthday.

If you are able to get away from the shop tomorrow, we'd be thrilled to have you home for a for a proper birthday dinner. And if you don't feel like you can leave while Tonks is at hospital, you can always hold off until you both can come up. Just let us know.

Alice, thank you so much. I don't think I have the words for quite how much your friendship means to me, especially now.

I went up to St Mungo's a little earlier for an update, but they still aren't allowing anyone onto the ward. The healer said they're quite satisfied with how she's holding up, but couldn't give me any further details, as I'm not family.

I thought of writing her a letter, but one of the staff would have to read it to her, so it couldn't possibly say anything honest, which would perhaps be worse than not saying anything at all.

If it's not too much trouble, I will come over for a visit this afternoon. I might as well close up the shop at lunchtime, as I'm achieving precisely nothing today anyway, and I could very well do with seeing my favourite godson.

I will invite Tonks to go over as well though, when she's better. I think she'd enjoy your company very much, Alice.
