August. It was winter, but thankfully, the weather had seemed not to remember this, a gleaming afternoon sun, hanging in the blue sky. In a small muggle town, below, a worried looking man, wearing a suit, lit up a cigarette, tapping his foot. He breathed in a deep breath and leant back against the outer stone wall of the church. One hour to go. He never done this before, of course, and it had all been very last minute. His soon-to-be wife had just fallen pregnant with his child. Alex James Corvus was going to be a father. Alex, having panicked and thought it only the right thing to do, had gone out and bought Liberty a ring, before returning to where she stood and dropping into one knee, asking for her hand in marriage. There was no way he was ready to go through with this, but he was determined to do the right thing for Liberty and for the baby.
Alex stared down at the cigarette he had just plucked from his mouth; that would have to go. He was not going to murder his unborn child with cigarette smoke, just because it calmed him down. It was the first big step he was taking towards maturity. Alex stubbed out the cigarette and binned it. He wasn't sure why they had to have a muggle wedding, rather than a wizarding one, but whatever worked for Libby, worked for him. Fortunately, Liberty and the bridesmaids were not due for another forty minutes. He was just waiting on his best man. It had been rather awkward asking Tobias, seeing as they had been friends at Hogwarts, but, having been unable to contact James (whom he would have felt less bad asking) he had settled for the brother of his fiancée.
