LOOK AT WHAT  COULD BE [/size][/center] Mountains. Such a grand creation of nature that they took the breathe away from any such person who looked down (or up) upon them. The powerful majestic nature of the sleeping giants always seemed to either empower you or make you feel insignificant, small, worthy of no purpose in life but to try to survive. On a normal basis, such feelings would be stirred inside him, the mountains humbling even the most powerful man. But from this vantage point, there was nothing that could take you down. The confidence just standing on the peak of a mountain gave you was unbelievable. Being level with the peaks of over mountains was an experience nothing could beat, especially when the view below was so vibrant of full of color that that view itself caused you to pause and consider the beauty. Lush greens and purples could be seen below, the wild flowers random in placing, but seemingly more beautiful that way, left untouched and unorganized. It was more than he could bear, what with his anxiousness and excitement.
He wondered vaguely if she would come. Having only met her a few times since his return, he was not sure if she would follow him blindly to a location that she didn't even know. He had given her a portkey, registered even! A favor taken long overdue from a friend he had saved in a tight spot. The box was no ordinary box, though its appearance was so. It's beaten up stature was not just for the first stage of his plan, but also part of the last, a key part in this crucial stage in his life. If all went well, it would complete his life, and ensure his happiness for a long time. If she failed to come, and failed to play along, completing the scene with a few uttered words, and maybe a scream, or tears... or something... then he would fall from the mountain, to be encased in the beauty of the flowers that so reminded him of her. And then die with them as the snow covered all life and killed it slowly with the frost that swept life away in this valley in one night. Ok, so that was a little dramatic. But the tension inside him was twisting with his mind, how could he help it?
He didn't even know if she had received the note, the lines secretly hinting at more than what they were, something, if she didn't destroy the note, she would find out later. The small note of parchment had invited her to trust him and come along on a journey that only required herself to be present. He had clearly noted that it was not a mission, and her attendance was not required unless she wished it to be, he had however, in a last fearful scribble, included that her attendance would be highly enjoyed and welcomed. Though the note had completely excluded the location, a detail which she no doubt picked up, he hoped that she would trust him enough to come.
Though they were trained to suspect something was wrong when such things like this happened, we were also trained to investigate, taking the step forward and choosing to find out who the impostor was, if there was one. But... it was in his own scrawl. His mind was, once again taking off on him. He sighed, settling himself down on a rock set into the snow covered stone tip of the mountain. Placing a hand on his pocket and a hand on his mouth, meditating at the best place possible: a peak looking down on a beautiful, untouched valley.

Victoire had been battling with herself the past few months. Well, if you want to get technically, she was currently battling with herself since Teddy's return. There had been the night when they first say each other for the first time in years. They both had their little breakdowns, and went to her place for tea. They talked, he left, and that was the end of it. After that they saw eachother a few times, and at the Ministry but, that was about it. They hadn't exactly talked about where things between them stood. Victoire knew that he loved her, and she loved him more than life itself but, something kept her from going after him.
In fact, she was thinking about it, right now. At her desk. Victoire had been translating something from the French Ministry, that's what set it off - her track of thought. He had been gone for so long that part of her felt like she didn't know him anymore. Whatever happened to him affected him, she knew that much. Tory wanted to desparately what happened but, he wouldn't tell her, no matter how much she persisted. She gave up and dropped the subject. That did not keep her from thinking about it. It was nearly all she thought about. She looked up as someone came by, dropping a note in front of her. It accidently ended up on their desk when it was adressed to her.
Victoire looked at it with natural curiousity. She opened it and read it through. Someone wanted her to take a portkey to some unknown location. All they wanted was her. It wasn't signed. It was strange, as she thought to herself. There was something familiar about the horrible penmanship. After a long moment, Vic smacked herself on her forehead. Duh, of course she knew this handwriting! It was so obvious now that it was Ted's. She hadn't seen it in so long, she had nearly forgotten. Still, why would he send her a note, and not tell her where she would be going or sign it?
As suspicious as it seemed, Victoire was compelled to go. No one in the world could possibly duplicate his handwriting, even if they were using polyjuice. It was impossible to write like that. Impossible. She smiled to herself slightly, taking her wand off her desk - just in case. She stood there a moment, trying to figure out where this portkey would take her. She could go ask the office but, that always ended up being a hassle. It wasn't her birthday for another two months, and it wasn't his...there was nothing special about this date that she could recall so, why all the mystery?
She glanced down at her clothes. Was she dressed properly? Was this casual or fancy? Where was she ever going. Ugh, that moron. At least he could have given her a hint. Her work attire would have to do. If anything on her got ruined, she'd kill him for it later. Well, here goes nothing. Victoire picked up the box which was the portkey. First though, she had to check it out. Alas, she didn't get the time. Not thinking, she touched it in just the right spot and poof! She was gone, spinning through the portkey abyss until it spit her out.
Victoire landed, with her eyes closed, she felt herself land in soft ground, flat on her back. She was nearly afraid she landed in mud and now she remembered why she hated portkey travel..especially when you don't know where you are landing. Victoire growned hoping she didn't land in mud or something of that nature. She opened her eyes and turned her head, and found herself staring at a rock, the same rock Ted happened to be sitting on. Tory sat up, brushing pieces of dirt or grass, or whatever off of her. She looked up at Ted and flashed him a small smile before looking around. "Where are we, exactly and what's with all the mystery?"

LOOK AT WHAT COULD BE [/size][/center]
Teddy jumped, startled out of his own thoughts by a large 'thunk' behind him. Spins around, standing and breaks into a smile, beginning to laugh. "You know, after all the portkeys we have had to take, I would have thought you would have worked better on your landings!" He ignored her question for the moment, having a hard time standing still. He jumped forward to lift her up out of the dusting of snow, unable to stop smiling. She came! The biggest part of his plan was here, the key queen on the chess board had taken her place. Now for the rest... He sat back down on the rock, turning away from her to look down at the valley again, hoping to draw her attention to their surroundings.
Though she might not recognize where they were (heck, he wouldn't have as he had only found this location a few weeks ago), she would at least be able to appreciate the beauty of it. What she didn't know was that these mountains were the same they had spent the first large amount of time together- on a mission. Before they had been assigned together he had barely known her name, spent a few moments of the day together, her being one of the only ones on the team that he could not stay annoyed at for a long period of time. Though this spot was far away from the gruesome scene they had both witnessed, they had shared much on the trip, each learning about each other's quirks and habits. Learning to appreciate the small things in life, something that, when found out with someone, you never quite forget. Though that particular experience was miles away from here, the fact remained the same. In these mountains, they had shared experiences not many got to share, experiences that tied a person together. In these mountains she had caught his eye, and it had been the first time he had looked at her as someone he could spend his life with. It was only natural that there was a beautiful place somewhere in this mountain stretch. Though one part could be bloody, another could be beautiful. The irony in that being that it was something like a parallel to their uncommon relationship.
Finally deciding to answer her question, he scooted over and motioned to her to sit beside him. "New Zealand." He met her eyes, trying to see if she got the meaning behind it. "Miles away from there...but..." Teddy shrugged, nervous that 1 she might not get it, or 2 that she might hate the reminder, and not see through the gruesome parts to the connection. But that was the chance he had taken. "And secrecy... is fun sometimes. Im just glad you came." He smiled, and leaned in to kiss her, unable to stop smiling as he did so.

Victoire looked at him and wrinkled up her nose. "It helps to know where you are landing,"
[/b] she said with a quick smile. Her heart pitter-patted when Ted touched her, pulling her up. It did that every time he touched her. It always took a moment for it to go back to normal. Vic couldn't explain it. It only happened with him. No one else had ever managed to make her feel that way by something so simple. Sometimes, he didn't even have to touch her to feel that way. They just had to be close, like in the elevators at work, or in the same room. She looked around as he sat back down, brushing off the snow that clung to her clothes. Tory sighed, breathing in the crisp mountain air. Mountains...she hated them, even if they were pretty. They reminded her of things she wanted to forget. Victoire tried to ignore that and bury it, and just focus on what was in front of her. Ted was in front of her, and that's what she focused on, caring less about where they were. Everyday she thought this was some sort of dream and that she'd wake up and find he was still gone. Everyday she hoped it wasn't a dream, she knew it wasn't. Vic eagerly sat down next to him, wanted to know where in the world they were. She looked away from him the moment he said New Zealand. Out of all the places in world he chose to bring her here? Victoire took in a deep breath, trying desparately not to think about what happened those miles away. She turned her head to look at him, planning on asking him out of all the places in the world but, then he got close, and they kissed. It was simple, nothing long-lasting yet, he managed to wipe her mind clear of the horrible past memories they shared here. Vic blushed slightly and smiles. "Of course I came, I'd go anywhere you asked me to,"[/b] she said quietly. It was the truth, she would walk to the ends of the earth if he asked her to. Victoire knew she would do anything for him, anything he asked her to do. Well, almost anything. She wouldn't let him leave her again, no sir. "So...what exactly are we doing in New Zealand?"[/b] she asked, curious as to what the whole point of being here was. If it was to soak up some sun, or something she would seriously have to smack him upside the head. Victoire really did not know what to expect. Where they just to sit here all day? Frolic in that valley thing? Go somewhere else? What, what what? Victoire needed to know, her brain was pleading to know why exactly they were sitting here.

LOOK AT WHAT COULD BE [/size][/center]
He smirked and turned away from her, looking over the valley as his nerves began to dance. What had he been thinking? This was never going to work... she was going to think he was stupid, or worse take offense by their location. His gut twisted, rolling around in a way he could only explain by calling it hyperactive nerves. That, logically, were completely unnecessary. But everyone worries about something that is unnecessary... it was his turn to do the same. He smacked himself mentally, and forced himself to face her, meeting her eyes with a smile he hoped showed nothing but happiness at her arrival. He was going to blow this whole operation!! Clenching his hands tightly behind his back, he dug his nails into the palm of his hand, telling himself over and over to focus.
"Of course I came, I'd go anywhere you asked me to," He smiled, a legitimate smile that showed his gratitude at her words. No amount of sentences could describe how thankful he was that this was still the case for her as well. "Funny," he laughed lightly "Id do the same." With their shoulders touching, he found that he felt more normal when he was with her than when he was with others, or even by himself. As if she was a part of him that he could not feel normal without. He met her eyes, and smiled uncontrollably, all tension seeming to flow out of his body merely because she was sitting beside him.
He shrugged, not sure when was the right time to say what he needed, diverting the subject in his mind and aligning it behind her lead, answering her question with as much honesty as he could spare, without blowing his whole plan. "I thought we needed time together... away from all the distractions." He looked at her, turning his tone to one full of humor "That a good enough answer, ms. full of questions?" He laughed, and elbowed her lightly, before turning serious. "We have not gotten to do that since we... well, since I returned." He shrugged, an awkward note beginning to grow in his voice. "I thought it was about time it happened." A silence grew between them, having broken all unwritten guy codes, by being both honest, and sentimental... or at least as sentimental as guys can get. He shifted in his seat, and then smiled again, saying screw it with the codes. Taking a line from the 'women's most-said-to-men vocabulary book', he took on a mocking tone, laying it over the serious question that he actually was asking her. "Whats wrong with taking my girl out on a mysterious and well planned out date?" He grinned again, looking at her, and waiting for an answer before continuing. After all, if she said 'everything' he would have to change the night's events quite dramatically.
[It sucks, but i promised you id post today. =P Here is my promise fulfilled! <3]

"Funny,....I'd do the same."
Victoire smiled at him before looking away because she felt her cheeks get warm. It was funny how after all this time, Ted still managed to make her blush. No one else was ever really able to do that except for him. It was a feat that he should be proud of. Plus, no one had really been able to make her smile so much after he left. Now that Teddy was back, Victoire had plunged back into being her old self again. She had actually found that she missed herself, and she was sure a few other people did too. Things just...were better with Ted around. Victoire felt that a world without him just wasn't worth living in.
"That a good enough answer, ms. full of questions?"
[/i] Tory playfully nudged Ted back, harder than she planned but that's what he got for starting that up. "I suppose so. If I didn't ask enough questions, I wouldn't be a very good auror, would I?" she replied with a slight chuckle. "I agree though. We do need time together....alone. I don't think we could get anymore alone than this." Victoire took notice of Ted's suddenly touch of sentimentalism. It sort of made her smile. She was sure there was some sort of 'code' that made that sort of talk for guys off the books but she didn't care. Tory was glad that he could talk to her like that. "Whats wrong with taking my girl out on a mysterious and well planned out date?" Victoire beamed at him, tempted to make a joke about it. "I'm sorry, you thought that this was a date?" she said, with a small laugh. "I'm just joking. There is absolutely nothing wrong with it..except..." she looked down at what she was wearing, "..am I dressed properly? That's a problem with mystery dates, a girl doesn't know what to wear." Victoire nudged him playfully again, before sighed. She rested her head on his shoulder, closing her eyes for a moment. This was nice just being somewhere with Teddy, sitting next to him. They did get to see each other at the Ministry but, that isn't the same as being completely alone with someone. such a crappy post. i am so sorry, blah.[/blockquote][/blockquote][/blockquote] |

He stared at her, smiling, unable to control himself. His head dipped and her smirked as she made a reference to her auror skills. "You dont need to tell me that." he winked and smiled again, unable to wipe the stupid grin from his face. He looked around, still smiling, their elegant surroundings adding to his happiness, and increased further by the fact he had planned all of this... and for once, his plan was working. He nodded silently in response, then figured that wasn't enough of a response for her. He had left for a long time, she deserved words. "That was the plan!"
He sighed inwardly, recognizing that he would never be able to forgive himself for leaving her. The simple knowledge that she had never moved on, never been able to piece herself together had cut him so deep that it was almost impossible to forget. And it haunted him. He could only hope he was never forced to leave her, he could only hope that death didn't take him while doing his duty to his profession, at least it wouldn't be as bad as leaving purposely... but the effect would be the same. He had fallen silent, staring at her as these thoughts ran through his head, a look full of guilt and a desire to prove himself to her again plain on his face.
He smiled again, and took her hands in his, bringing her up with him as he stood, standing back and looking at her as if expecting her clothing. He took her one hand and spun her around, nodding as he did so, then pulled her into a hug, whispering in her ear. "You are always beautiful in my eyes. Therefor, logically, you will always be dressed properly." He smiled and looked into her eyes, grabbing her hand and spinning her again in a dance style that brought them closer as he spun her into his arms. Faces close, he kissed her gently on the lips, resisting the hesitation, swallowing the worry that this could hurt her more than heal her, and kissed her again.
He held back then, for a moment, and smiled, whispering that he loved her, despite the fact that they were alone. Wind whispered with him, whistling through the valley and tossing the tall blades of grass below here and there. He held one of her hands in his and dug another into his pocket, looking back at the box looking beaten up laying behind her. He smiled, and kissed her again, forcing himself to be patient. To hold on. To wait. They needed this time. He was not going to rush things. So he smiled, he kissed her, he told her that he loved her, and they danced, staring below into the valley of beauty and restless peace, much like his heart, made restless by the woman in front of him, and the plan he had made... all because of her.

"Yes, well maybe you could pass to word along to my Uncle, so I can get more than desk work?" Victoire sighed and chuckled, shaking her head. Vic was hoping to see some action again. After her last field experience, Victoire was stuck doing the desk work. She assumed her mother caught wind of what happened, and said something to Harry, who stuck her to the boring work. Why was she thinking about work? Glancing out at the valley below, work left Victoire's mind.
Tory looked back at Teddy and smiled again. Everyday she had hoped to see him again. Now that he was back, she didn't want him out of her sight. It made her a little crazy but, could you really blame her? Vic caught the change of his expression. She reached up and touched his cheek. Ted didn't have to say anything for her to know. He had already told her all that, they had their sharing moments about what happened to her. Victoire didn't ever want to talk about that again. It wasn't important anymore. She was fine now, she could eat and sleep at night. Victoire had slid back into being her old self again. The self she had really missed. Teddy was the one that had broke her, and he had been the only one that could fix her.
Victoire laughed as Ted spun her around. She closed her eyes when he kissed her. She hadn't realized how much she missed being this close to him until that happened. It took her a few moments to regain her consciousness, bringing her back to where they were really. It wasn't until they were close again that Tory just threw her arms around him and kissed him herself. If there was a history book rating the kisses between lovers, this one would surely go down in the books as number one.

LOOK AT WHAT COULD BE [/size][/center] His stomach clenched as she kissed his back, weaving her arms around him. "No... Your much safer sitting behind a desk..." he winked and smiled, but she knew he was serious. Her safety had always been his number one priority, which had been partially why he had requested she not know about the mission he had been sent on. Yes, he knew she was fully capable of handling herself, but that didn't mean it made him stop worrying. He looked over her head at the black rock that they had seated themselves on moments before, and butterflies took flight in his stomach. You would think guys wouldn't have butterflies... They kissed, and for the first time he forgot everything about his plan, too caught up in her to think about, well, anything.
When they broke apart, he breathed and grinned stupidly, and BAM the plan hit him like a brick, unable to stand the tension and secrecy anymore, he took a hand off of her waist (when did it get there??) and dug it into his pocket, fishing around for a moment until grasping a gold band between his fingers. He let go of her and ran over to where the box lay broken and misshapen, a quick flick of his wand repairing it into a red-velvet box, he quickly laid the band inside, and turned around to her, bringing it out from behind his back and grasping her hand tightly, lowering himself down on one knee. Teddy smiled and looked up at her, locking eyes with her as he swallowed and opened the box for her, revealing the gold against the fresh white of the repaired box.
"I know this is all of a sudden... but I have loved you since I don't even know when. I left... because I was afraid. I left because I was taking a job that protected you. I left because I was afraid to face commitment. I'm not afraid now. I promise to stay with you, I promise to protect you at all costs. I promise to make the latter my first priority. I would die for you, as maybe you will now recognize from the setting about 10 miles from here... You would make my life complete with one word, with one word I could die a happy man. Vic, love," he swallowed again, "...will you marry me?" He grinned, clenching her hand in an attempt to hide the nervous shiver running through his body. He clenched his teeth, and prayed, eyes flicking back to the black rock behind her for a mere second, praying that it would be given a use. He waited, watching her face, not allowing anything more to distract him from her reaction.

Victoire gave Teddy 'the look' for a quick moment. She wasn't one to sit pretty behind a desk all day. There was a reason she became an auror, and it wasn't to sit at a desk all day. Under normal circumstances, Vic would argue against that little statement of his. This wasn't a normal circumstance. She would rather not ruin the moment with an argument. Victoire knew that Ted just worried too much about her, way too much. As much as she appreciated it, it bothered her at the same time. Victoire was fully capable of taking care of herself, and she was pretty sure she had made that pretty clear. If anything ever happened to him, protecting her, Victoire didn't think she would ever get over that.
Tory looked at Ted, confused as he left her and turn around. She saw him picking up the portkey box. Victoire saw him do something with his wand but, couldn't see exactly what he was doing. Although she was curious, Victoire still held a slight smile. When he turned around to face her again, she opened her mouth to say something. Victoire's words never left her mouth as Ted got down on his knee. She had wanted to ask him what he was doing, and now she knew. He was doing what she had been waiting for him to do before he had left. Victoire had almost been afraid this wouldn't happen.
She fought her impulse to accept him before he even actually asked her. Victoire grinned, impatiently waiting for Ted to get through his little speech and just ask her that four word, fourteen letter phrase. When he was finished, when he got that question out, it took her a second to gather the word. Victoire had it ready but in her excitement, she forgot how to speak for a second. At first she nodded, then she said it out loud. "Yes, yes I'll marry you," she said beaming at him.
If this were a normal relationship, one would think this proposal was came too early. This wasn't a normal relationship. It was one that had faced it's hardest challenge already. Any normal girl would have given up and moved on some time after their love leaves them. Victoire hadn't given up. She had thought about it, and she had even tried. No matter how hard she tried, she hadn't been able to give him up. Her heart wouldn't let her because the person that owned it was still there, eventually coming back for her. He did come back to her, and now she knew that was why she couldn't give up.

For a moment, after the words had left his mouth, he could not breathe. It seemed as if time had stood still-had frozen-for the minutes it took for her to find her voice. In all that time, Teddy could not breathe. Even though he saw the answer clear as day in her eyes, he could not fully believe it until she spoke the 4 syllables that made his day, no, hell his life! He let out the breathe he had only barely noticed he held in a long stream of breathe. Pushing himself up, a grin grew on his face, and he looked down, still grinning, unable to stop smiling. Standing as he gazed down into her eyes he kissed her and grinned, pulling the gold band from it's place in the now elegant box, he grinned and winked at her whispering a few words in her ear as she turned her around to face the rock they had been sitting on for their whole time here. "Then there is something I have to finish first..."
Drawing his wand once again from his back pocket he pointed it at the rock, whispering a few words under his breathe as the great rock split evenly in two. He glanced at her face before stepping forward, grinning back at her over his shoulder as he knelt in front of the great rock. The split had so far worked perfectly... thank god! Inside, a single large diamond, pre-cut, rested inside. Other smaller collections of them encircled it, forming a flower shaped design in the middle of the rock formation, much like those below in the valley. A prearranged design, executed almost perfectly, he frowned as he found that two small stones were missing. Cursing in the silence of his mind he tried to shrug it off, redesigning the layout in his head, muttering under his breathe. "Bloody magic..." He glanced over his shoulder at her and smiled. "Took me a long time to figure out how to do this, guess there are still a few glitches." He didn't explain further, instead extracting the sparkling stones from the middle with his wand, and holding up the gold band in front of him.
The gold metal shifted and stretched around the stones, setting them in place. He struggled to remember how he had been taught to do this, slowing the process down, frustrating him as his vision of him doing this broke apart into more of a time consuming disaster. Maybe I should have just done this before, and then just told her that I made it... he thought angrily. As he finished though, his mood brightened, reminding himself that the reason he was doing it was because she had said yes. She said yes!! A rare blush formed on his cheeks as he turned around to face her again, ring in hand. He presented it to her, the weaving design on the sides hard for her to see while his large fingers held it. He grabbed her hand lightly and slid it into place, looking up to her nervously. "Do you like it?" Some people said those who did not pick (in his case make) a design of ring that his soon-to-be wife would like (aka wear) the man did not deserve the woman, as the man did not know what she liked... he hoped that he had not screwed up royally.
Getting back on his feet, he looked down at her; and by extension: the ring, and smiled. Glad that the end product looked at least mostly like it had in his mind. And more importantly: looked like it had been professionally made. Finally a project he was proud of. It had better be... took me long enough to plan and learn how to... He smiled to himself and kept this comment to himself. Happy to look down at the woman in front of him and think 'this is my wife-to-be'! For the first time since he had begun planning all this, Teddy breathed freely.
Ring: (but in gold <3 hehe)

After the words were spoke, Victoire was left breathless. She beamed at him still, and they shared the traditional kiss after acceptance. Now was the time when Victoire was expecting a ring put on her finger. Sure, it was just a plain band, and if it was because this was a spur of the moment sort of deal, or if he really couldn't afford anything else...she was just fine. Victoire could live without diamonds or anything just fine. People did that back in the day all the time. So, when Ted turned her around and said there was something else instead of putting the ring on her, she looked at him with a rather perplexed expression. What else could there be?
Victoire caught a small, non-verbal expression/vibe from Ted. It was one she knew a little too well. Teddy was up to something, she just didn't know what. She watched him carefully, with a slight sense of suspicion was he produced his wand. Victoire's eyes quickly shifted to the rock when she heard a cracking noise coming from it, like someone was trying to break it. She casted a tiny glance at Ted before it was completely split. Victoire took a rather cautious step forward, trying to figure out what the whole point of splitting a rock open was. She knew basic geography, some rocks had pretty insides, what did that have to do with anything?
When the diamonds arranged in a flower met her eyes, Victoire froze. She looked at Ted almost immediately, her lips slightly opened in a state of awe. Never mind that his attempted set up wasn't perfect, Vic didn't even bloody notice. The auror in her wanted to question him when he mentioned it took him a long time to do all this. Her main question was how long was this length of time. The words never even made it to her throat. All sense of speech was lost. Victoire watched him as he put it all together, the entire time not even one comprehensive sentence came to her mind. It was all a bunch of garble, leaving her to just say nothing the entire time.
Tory was an frozen stick of a person the entire time. Things didn't even process for a good few minutes. It wasn't until she felt the cool metal of the ring around her finger that she snapped out of her frozen awe. Now with a more functional brain, she looked down at the ring that now occupied her finger. Victoire didn't spend that much time on it before her eyes flickered back to Teddy. She swallowed, attempted to answer his question. "How? ....when did you?" Victoire just gave up smiled, "Of course I like it. I would love anything you give me."

Over-all the attempt had not been perfect, but at this point he didn't care. She hadn't said no... there was no awkward shuffling of the feet after... and she was his, and he hers. This thought alone formed a grin on his lips. One that threatened to never fade away. He looked down at her ring finger and smiled at his ring, it was a feeling no one could ever put in words. He hadn't thought it possible, but he beamed harder at her words. "Good." He paused, considering. "Now all there is to do is the wedding." He smiled mischievously and sat down on the portion of the rock left intact, pulling her onto his lap and smiling up at her.
"What do you think love? I have been betting with myself these past few weeks. Small wedding somewhere away from all the craziness? Or huge ass wedding inviting ALL of your extended family." He joked about her family often, sometimes bitterly. But there was no bitterness in his voice now. Nothing could ruin this moment, not even the fact that he had none to compare when it came to the large extent of her family. Somewhere deep inside him he wished she picked the first... but when it came down to it, regardless how they made their bond official, he was still happy the event would occur. He looked up at her, the question in his eyes and laughed slightly at her expression. Kissing her deeply before allowing her time to respond. "I love you Weasley." He grinned and fingered her now taken hand.
