Title: Going For What They Want
Pairing: Fred Weasley/Hannah Abbott
Rating: PG
Summary After being in St. Mungo's for a curse that hit him during the Battle at Hogwarts, Fred develops feelings for Hannah and right before he is released, he finally acts on it.
Word Count 750
Warnings: AU: Fred didn't die
Author's Notes Written for romancingwizard Challenge Nineteen: Bring Out Your Dead! The prompt: winning her heart.

Hannah had been surprised when she was assigned to help with Fred Weasley's exercises. The last time she had seen him was when he had taken a curse meant for her. She tried to find out what happened to him, but between her parents and starting training as a medi-witch, she never managed to find out.

Finding out that his muscles deteriorated from the curse to the point of not being able to walk had hurt her immensely. She didn't like that she had been the cause of his pain. When she started working with him, she apologized, but he had told her it wasn't necessary. Over the months of working with him and talking to him, she had managed to get past that and become friends with Fred.

That was why it had taken her by surprise when he asked her to dinner that night. Sure, he had flirted with her, but she didn't think he meant anything by it. She just thought he was that way with everyone. If she was being truthful, she would have to admit that she had developed feelings for him but, being his caregiver, she did not want to cross that line. He was being released soon so that was no longer going to be a problem.

Fred had been nervous all day. Luckily he had tests during the morning and didn't have his exercises; he didn't want Hannah to know how nervous he was. George had brought in the food and a little invention they had been working on. It had been tested, but this would be one last test before going to market.

When Hannah arrived, Fred was almost speechless. She looked so beautiful that he couldn't take his eyes off of her. He would have loved to go to her, but he wasn't able to just yet. She knew this, of course, and made her way over to where he was already seated at the table.

After she sat down he smiled at her. "You look beautiful."

She blushed. "Thank you." He handed her a small package, and she looked at him curiously. "What's this?"

He grinned. "It's something George and I have been working on. It's based on our Daydream Charms and the Room of Requirement. It's designed to aid in setting a romantic mood. Go ahead and open it."

Hannah was fascinated by the package and the magic behind it. She opened it and took out the sphere. She held it in her hands, closed her eyes and thought about what she considered to be romantic. When she was done the sphere started to glow and the room changed.

Fred was surprised that it didn't change all that much. The room was darker and had candles everywhere. There was soft piano music playing in the background. He had always thought she found pleasure in the simple things, and what she created just proved that to him.

Hannah opened her eyes and looked around. "Perfect." She placed the sphere back in the box. "How long does it last?"

Fred smiled at her. "Yes, it is. It lasts about 2 hours." He pulled his wand and levitated the plates of food to the table. "George picked this up for me at that new restaurant in Diagon Alley."

He removed the lids off the plates, and soon they were eating grilled chicken with a Dijon sauce and side of vegetables. They talked about everything except hospital things. Fred considered this a first date even if he thought he knew her fairly well.

Once dinner was over he cleared the table and reached across the table and took her hand. He looked into her beautiful blue eyes. "I really like you, Hannah. I know you think my flirting with you wasn't serious, but it was. I understand why you held back, but I'm getting out of here soon, and I want to see if there can be something more between us. I think there can be, and I would like to give us a shot."

Hannah bit her lip as she listened to him. She had held back, and with him no longer being her patient, there wasn't a reason to anymore. He had arranged all of this for her and in the process captured her heart. She squeezed his hand and smiled. "I'd like that too."

Fred's face lit up and for the first time, he didn't care if he ever walked again, as long as Hannah was by his side.

Title: Easter Surprise
Pairing: Oliver Wood/Tracey Davis
Rating: G
Summary Oliver surprises Tracey when he finally meets her entire family
Word Count 500
Author's Notes Written for romancingwizard for Challenge Eighteen: March Madness Redux. My prompt was Oliver Wood/Tracey Davis Easter with her family.

Tracey and Oliver Apparated into the garden of Tracey's family home. It was Easter and time for her family's annual Easter garden party. It was a warm spring day, and Tracey could see all the work her mum had been doing in the garden. The garden was full of all shades of tulips, her mum's favorite flower—there were also lilacs, freesia and roses. It was always one of Tracey's favorite places to be and spring her favorite season.

Tracey looked at Oliver. She was slightly nervous; they had been dating for almost a year, and this would be his first Easter party with her entire family. Everyone was always spread out over Christmas, and since her grandfather's birthday was during spring, he started the annual tradition of the Easter garden party, which had turned into a family reunion. Oliver had done well handling her father, but she wondered how he would handle the rest of her Slytherin family.

She looked up at him. "Are you sure you're ready for this?"

Oliver leaned down and kissed her on the lips. "I'll be fine. Your father likes me."

Tracey smiled. "Yes, but two of my uncles could scare a Death Eater. Just ignore them. They talk big, but they're harmless."

Oliver chuckled. "I'm not worried, love. You have to remember I'm used to people talking big and trying to intimidate me. I wouldn't be the starting Keeper if I couldn't handle the pressure."

Tracey sighed. He was right, but it still didn't mean that she wasn't going to worry about it until he actually talked to her uncles. She took a deep breath and grabbed his hand. "Well, let's get this over with. The sooner we can do it, the sooner we can find out."

Tracey began introducing Oliver to all the family that he had yet to meet. They all knew who he was, of course, and that she had been dating him. He managed to handle himself very well, and everyone seemed very impressed by him. She was very relieved that they seemed to like him.

She was a bit surprised when Oliver grabbed her hand and led her over to her parents. She was about to say something when he suddenly asked for everyone's attention. She looked at him strangely. He smiled at her. "We've been dating almost a year now, and I love you more now than I did when I first realized I was in love with you. Tracey Davis, will you do me the honor of marrying me?"

He then pulled the antique diamond ring out of his pocket and placed it on her finger. He placed the tip of his wand on the ring. "Amplitudo." The ring fit to her finger perfectly.

Tracey was in so much shock that she hadn't realized she hadn't answered him until he looked at her. "Yes, I'll marry you." He leaned down and kissed her again, and she realized she had one more reason to love spring.

Megan turned her head and looked up at him. Anthony leaned down and kissed her, pouring all his love into that one act. "Ewww! Mum, Dad quit snogging. No one wants to see that."

They sighed and broke apart realizing their son Landon was home. Megan smiled at her husband. "Next year he'll be at Hogwarts, we'll have plenty of time alone then."

Title: Perfect
Pairing: Bill/Fleur
Rating: PG-13
Summary Bill takes Fleur on their honeymoon and pampers her.
Word Count 1,009
Author's Notes Written for romancingwizard for their Deathly Hallows Missing Scenes Challenge My prompt was Chapter Nine: A Place To Hide.

The Death Eaters that had been interrogating her finally let her go after they were satisfied that either she knew nothing or she wasn't going to be saying anything anytime soon. She walked away from the interrogator angry that their reception had been ruined. The one thing she was thankful for was that they had not interrupted the wedding. That had been perfect.

She had spotted Bill, talking to his father and quickly walked over to him. Once she was close he grabbed her around the waist and pulled her close and she buried her face in his neck. She wanted to get out of there. She wanted to be alone with her husband, hold him and forget about the bad and focus on the good.

Bill tilted her head to look at him; she hadn't realized his father had left. She looked around and noticed that they were alone. He leaned down and kissed her softly. "You alright love?" She simply nodded and he sighed. "Dad said they were leaving but he's almost positive we will be watched. He's going to send a message to Ron, letting him know we're safe and that we're being watched." He ran a hand through her hair and smiled. "Our Portkey leaves soon."

She looked up at him in surprise; she hadn't thought he would want to leave his family after what just happened. She would have been disappointed but she would have understood. A smile slowly crossed her face. "You still 'ave not told me where we are going."

He noticed her surprise and chuckled. "I want more than anything to be with you right now. You've already had to change the wedding site. I wasn't about to take away our honeymoon and it's supposed to be a surprise."

She giggled and he led her upstairs to his room where their bags and the Portkey were waiting. After final goodbyes to their families, they placed their joined hands on the Portkey and felt the tug at their navel and they were gone.

When they landed, she was in front of a beautiful villa. He had stepped behind her and wrapped his arms around her and pulled her to him. Before she could even ask he leaned forward and spoke quietly in her ear. "Italy, Lake Como to be exact. You told me on our third date that Italy was one of the few places you had not visited yet. I thought what better time to visit than on our honeymoon."

Fleur could feel the tears in her eyes and turned around in his arms. "I can not believe you remembered zat. You are ze most amazing man. Je t'aime."

He leaned down and kissed slowly. "I love you too. Now let's get inside so I can take care of you."

They walked the short distance to the villa and Fleur couldn't help but take in the scenery. It was so beautiful here and as much as she wanted to spend the entire honeymoon in bed with her husband, she couldn't wait to explore this part of Italy. Once they reached the door it opened and a house elf came out and took the bags. Bill picked her up and carried her over the threshold and up to the master bedroom.

She noticed that he seemed to know his way around the villa. When he placed her down in the room she looked around and went to the balcony to look at the view which was absolutely breathtaking. She heard him come out and join her and she turned and gave him a curious smile.

He leaned against the doorjamb and chuckled. "A curse-breaker I used to work with, his family owns this villa. He owed me and since he couldn't come to the wedding offered to let me use this place for our honeymoon."

He took her by the hand and led her back into the bedroom. She noticed the candles that he lit while she was out on the balcony and smiled at him. She wasn't too surprised because he was always making things special for her. "Eet is lovely, Bill. Zank you."

"There is no need to thank me mon tresor." She smiled when he called her my treasure, it was a special term he rarely used and only when they were alone. "Now go put on something comfortable or nothing at all and then come back and lay on the bed."

She looked at him strangely before doing what he asked. She came back wearing nothing and lay down on the bed on her back. She heard him chuckle. "Lay on your stomach if you please and close your eyes."

She flipped over onto her stomach and closed her eyes. She was starting to wonder what he was up to. She heard him walk over and then felt him get into bed and straddle her back. Then she felt something warm and oily on her back and she moaned softly at the sensation. She loved when he gave her massages. She could feel the tension starting to flow out of her as his hands worked the muscles of her back. The attack on the reception had made her more tense then she realized and she was beginning to tire after a day that had begun very early for her.

She wasn't sure how long she lay there before she felt Bill lay down by her side and pull her to him. She curled up next to him and laid her head on his chest. She felt awful. This was supposed to be their wedding night and here she was falling asleep on him. She felt him kiss her forehead and lay his head back down. "Sleep love. We have all week to enjoy each other. Tonight just sleep while I hold you." She drifted off to sleep in the arms of the man she loved. Their day might not have turned out the way she had always dreamed but in his arms she knew it had been perfect.

Summary
Word Count 500
Author's Notes This was written for romancingwizard and their Pride and Prejudice Challenge. I had to include a snuffbox. This was written awhile back and I just realized that I hadn't put it up here. It was also a featured drabble at The Quidditch Pitch for July 2007.

Cedrella made her way quickly through the halls of the school. She hated being late, but she'd had a hard time getting out of the dorm without her roommates noticing. Luckily they decided to have a party and she was able to sneak a sleeping draught in their drinks. Now she could be as late as she wanted and they'd never know that she had been gone. She just had to make sure she was back before the draught wore off.

She quickly climbed the stairs of the Astronomy Tower and opened the door. Septimus smiled when he saw her. She loved his smile almost as much as she loved his red hair. She had noticed him during the sorting; something seemed to draw her to him. She began watching him during their first year.

At first it was just during meals or in classes, but the longer she watched him the more she began to do it. It was during sixth year that he finally noticed. Then she noticed that he was watching her. She had been horribly embarrassed but one day he came up to her in the library and asked her to Hogsmeade. She wanted to accept but she knew that her parents would be very angry with her for going out with a Weasley. When she explained this to him she expected him to turn away but he understood and they started seeing each other secretly. They would meet in classrooms and sometimes after curfew, but mostly they wrote each other letters. It was during these letters that they got to know each other and fell in love. Now school was ending and she didn't know what they were going to do.

She walked over to him and he pulled her close. "I was beginning to worry, love."

She smiled up at him, "I'm sorry I'm late."

He kissed her on the lips, pulled back and smiled, "It's okay. I think I have a solution for our problem."

Cedrella's eye's lit up as she looked at him, "Really? What?"

He pulled back, reached into his pocket and pulled out a snuffbox. She looked confused until he opened it. He looked into her eyes, "I talked to my mum, and she said we could stay with her until we could afford a place of our own. I know I can't give you everything you're used to, but I promise you this. I'll love you and take care of you always. Cedrella Black, will you marry me?"

She was so overwhelmed she couldn't answer; all she could do was nod. He placed the ring on her finger and kissed her again. When he pulled back she looked at him with a question in her eyes. He didn't have to ask; he just smiled and said, "We do it tonight. That way your parents can't say anything."

She nodded as he took her hand and followed him out of the tower and towards her future with her new family.

Summary Life is comprised of moments.
Word Count 490
Author's Notes This was written for inell's First Line Meme

Life is comprised of moments.

There are the moments when you are young and your parents capture it all on film or write it down in a book to share with family and friends. These are usually the moments of your development and all of it out of your control. They are really your parents' moments to share so they can be told what a smart baby they have.

Then you go to Primary School and your moments are noticed by your teachers and shared with your parents. These moments are either ones that make them happy, sad or angry. If you've done something they would have loved to witness it becomes sad for them. If you've done something remarkable they become happy or proud. Then there are the times you misbehave and those are the moments that make them angry. These moments are not yours and you start to wait for your moments.

Then you go to Hogwarts and you step on that train and away from your parents and you're excited because you are going to have your own moments. Over the next seven years, you are the one in control of your moments. You finally get to decide which moments you share and which one you don't. You tell them about the boy you met on the train who quickly became your best friend. You tell them which House you were sorted into and about your classes. You don't tell them about your crushes but you do tell them when you have your first boyfriend but only after you've been seeing each other for a few months. You do not tell them about your first kiss. You tell your mother about your first heartbreak because she understands and you beg her to not tell your father. There are more moments like this and you feel wonderful that you are in charge of your moments.

Then there is that moment when you meet him. The one you have dreamt about and wished for. Then suddenly you want to share all your moments with him. They are not just your moments but his as well and you decide together which ones you share and which ones are just the two of yours. There are those moments that you obviously do not share but then there are some that you need to talk about. Then one day you realize that you have more our moments then your own and you don't mind that in the least bit. You want to share these moments with him and you find yourself wanting all the moments that your parents experienced. Then in the moment when you are holding your first child, you finally see all your earlier moments through different eyes and you understand.

Life is comprised of moments. Some are shared and some are experienced alone but all those moments lead up to making us who we are and who we become.

Author's Notes This is in the same universe as Valentine Surprise but can stand alone.

Hannah watched as Fred played with their four year old sons, Joseph and Patrick. It was a beautiful summer day and Fred had decided that she needed a break and a picnic. She smiled at how insistent he'd been. When she realized that he wasn't going to give up, she decided to just enjoy the day. She knew soon she'd be too busy to really enjoy the summer.

She smiled as Joey ran over to her as fast as his little legs could carry him. His blond highlights standing out from the red more the longer he was in the sun. He plopped down beside her on the blanket and placed his little hand on her swollen stomach. "Mummy, when is the baby going to be here?"

Hannah smiled and placed her hand on top of her sons. "Not long the baby should be here soon."

Joey nodded and then looked very thoughtful for a four year old. Hannah had to wonder what was going on in his little head. He looked up at her and asked. "Is it a brozer or a sister?"

Hannah chuckled. "I don't know, we have to wait for the baby to get here to find that out. Which would you rather have?"

Joey looked to where Fred was flying with Patrick and then he looked back at Hannah's belly. "I want a sister. I tink it would be neat to have a sister. I could help take care of her and I have a brozer already but Pat wants anozer brozer."

Hannah wasn't too surprised by that. Joey was the sensitive one, he liked flying with his father but she could already tell he probably wouldn't be as into Quidditch as his father and brother. She also had a feeling that Joey was going to end up in Hufflepuff. She had to smile at that she really wanted on of her children in her house. She smiled at her son. "Well maybe you will get real lucky and the baby will be a girl. You do know it's a big responsibility to be a big brother."

Joey nodded his head. "I knows and I can do it."

Hannah laughed. "I'm sure you can. I think you'd make a good big brother for a little girl."

Just then Fred and Patrick landed and Joey got up and ran to have his turn flying with his daddy. Hannah watched him and rubbed her stomach. As much as she loved her sons she was hoping, like Joey, that this was a little girl.

Tracey sat watching the candle burn in the window. She had lit it and placed it in the window of their bedroom when he left. That was three months ago. It would continue to burn until he was home.

She had begged him not to go, tried to use every trick she could think of. She had even thought about lying and saying she was pregnant. He had just looked at her and told her he had to do this. He had a responsibility to not only her but to their families. She finally relented when she saw the determined look on his face. She didn't want him leaving without her full support.

The day he left, they stayed in bed just holding each other and talking. She was so afraid to let go of him, but finally he had to get out of bed. She watched him dress, trying to memorize every detail of him. She didn't know how long he would be gone and she was terrified that she would forget.

Summary While sitting with Bill in the hospital wing, Fleur thinks about how their relationship. An HBP missing moment.
Word Count 713
Author's Notes I struggled with this one. I'm not sure why this was so hard to write but it was. I hope you enjoy it.

I can't seem to take my eyes off of Bill. I could have lost him. I meant what I said to Molly, his scars only mean that I am marrying a very brave man. I had not been surprised when Molly thought I wouldn't want to marry Bill. I knew that she didn't care for me. I think most people think that I trapped Bill or that I used my powers to get him. While I did chase him, and tried to use my Veela powers, he never fell under my spell. Just the opposite, I fell under his.

I first noticed him before the Third task; he had been in the chamber with the families of the champions. He was so handsome and he looked so unlike the other boys I had dated. I decided then and there to find out who he was. I had become friendly with some of the older Ravenclaws and pointed him out to them. They were very helpful giving me his name, where he worked and told me what they could about him.

After the Third task was over I had come to a decision. I needed a part-time job and needed to work on my English, so I applied to work at Gringotts. I also hoped that I would run into Bill. I was finally able to be introduced to him after I had been working at Gringotts for a week.

We began our relationship as friends; he didn't even ask me out for the first two months. It was a great way to get to know each other. I never expected to fall so hard so fast. It didn't take me long to realize that I was completely in love with him.

I was surprised when he told me that he loved me. I've always known that men want me, but I've never had anyone want the real me. Most know about my power over men but what most forget is that inside of me is a magical beast. The Veela inside me can be dangerous and it takes a lot of strength to keep her in check. I have to contain my anger because the beast inside of me is very dangerous. If she were to take over I would no longer be in control. It took years of training with my grandmother to reach the level of control I now have. When we made love for the first time, it had felt like a joining of two souls. It had never been that way before but it's like that every time with Bill.

The day Bill proposed was the happiest day of my life. I had been waiting for the day when he would wake up and realize that I was just not worth it. But with his proposal he washed away every one of my insecurities. I now know that it is a match that will last us for an eternity.

When I received word that Bill had been injured I was scared, but I figured that it was something that could easily be fixed and he would be as good as new in no time. The reality was far different. When I first saw him lying in that hospital bed, it was all I could do to hold the Veela at bay. She wanted to be released wanted to kill the thing that had harmed her mate. As much as I wanted to release her, I knew I couldn't. I didn't think anyone in that hospital room was prepared to see me that way. Then when Molly talked about our wedding in the past tense it gave me something else to focus on. I knew that she never really liked me. I was saddened by that at first, because I desperately wanted his mother to like me. I gave up trying though and hoped she could tolerate me. It's funny how a tragedy can bring two women together. I think I gained her respect when I stood up for us and I hope that soon we can be friends.

I know that we do not have an easy road to travel and that tragedy can still strike our family. I also know that nothing is impossible when love is involved.

Title: A Conversation Between Friends
Pairing: Harry, Ron
Rating: G
Summary Harry and Ron have a conversation
Word Count 125
Author's Notes Nothing but dialogue. The conversation came to me while cleaning the refrigerator (don't ask). I had to stop and write this. I'm almost caught up with my drabbles.

"I’m going to marry her, Harry."

"Who?"

"Hermione. I love her Harry."

"So you finally figured it out."

"Yeah I did."

"I guess that means you two have talked?

"Uh…no. "

"I guess that means, she doesn't know that you two are getting married."

"I'll talk to her Harry."

"You might want to do that soon, Ron. I think most girls like to know who that are going to marry."

"I know, I'm just a little…scared."

"Of Hermione?"

"Yes….uh….I mean…no. I'm scared of her reaction."

"I don't think you have anything to worry about mate."

"You think so?"

"I don't think that Hermione would send canaries to anyone but someone she loves."

"I think you may be right? I think I'll go talk to her."

FIC: Easily Convinced (Bill/Fleur); PG-13 Drabble #3

Title: Easily Convinced
Pairing: Bill/Fleur
Rating: PG-13
Summary Fleur is easily convinced
Word Count 416

Fleur looked around the small tent and wondered how Bill had talked her into this. Then she smiled to herself as she remembered the way Bill had waited until they were in bed to tell her that he needed to go to Egypt for a week and asked if she would come with him. She would have agreed to anything when his tongue and hands were doing such delicious things to her body. That's how she found herself in this small tent in the Egyptian desert with cooling charms that barely worked. They had been here for three days, she was hot, sweaty and she had barely slept since she arrived. She was making a new rule. No asking important questions in bed.

She needed to go home where it was cooler and less dusty. She hadn't felt clean since she arrived, the dirt seemed to cling to her sweaty body. When Bill came back to the tent, she was going to tell him she was going home. He would just have to understand that she just couldn't do this. She needed her home and her things. She needed to be clean.

Fleur was about to start packing when Bill walked into the tent. She smiled when she saw him, his long red hair was wet and he was sweating from being in the tomb all day. She loved when he was sweating, loved it even more when she was the cause. She shook her head to rid her mind of those images. If she kept thinking like that she wouldn't tell him her decision. She smiled as she walked over to him and threw her arms around his neck. "'Ello, mon amour," she said in a falsely bright voice.

He pulled away and looked at her appraisingly. "You want to go home," he said in a matter of fact way.

"Oui."

He smiled at her. "I think we should discuss this in bed, Princess."

Before she could say anything in protest, he picked her up and threw her over his shoulder and started walking to the bed. "Bill, put me down zis instant." She tried hard to sound indignant but a part of her loved it when he was like this.

"I'll put you down on the bed," he said as he swatted her behind, "then I'm going to convince you to stay."

She couldn't help but smile, but she had a feeling she was never going to win an argument with him ever again.

Drabble #2, Three Little Words

Title: Three Little Words
Pairing: none
Rating: PG
Summary You don't always need the words to know.
Word Count 162
Author's Notes I wrote this during my power outage. It came to me while looking at a candle. I'm not sure if it works but I'm sorta happy with it.

The room is bathed in candlelight. He holds her close to him and she draws lazy patterns on his chest. She looks up at him and smiles. Whispered words of love pour forth and she knows she could spend the rest of her life with this man. She doesn't need to hear the words from him; she has no doubts of his love for her. He shows it all the time in his actions, he expresses it in his touch. A touch that makes her feel like a Goddess.

She puts more importance on the everyday things. Those are the things that truly count. Those are the things she will remember at the end of her life, not words that most take for granted. He runs a hand through her blonde hair and she sighs in complete contentment. He rolls her over and says the three words he rarely says but when he does they are full of meaning.

"I love you."

FIC: Together (Tracey/Adrian) PG---Drabble (not really a drabble) #1

Title: Together
Pairing: Tracey/Adrian
Rating: PG
Summary: Sometimes being together is all you need
Word Count: 645
Author Notes: Written for miss_elisha's Drabble-A-Day Challenge and for 7spells Prompt #2 the sea. Prompt Table here. My hubby did the beta on this so if you see any mistakes please let me know. I'm still trying to decide if I'm going to submit this to 7spells

Tracey stood on the beach, her arms wrapped around herself to ward off the slight chill in the air. She looked over the horizon and watched the sun set. The colors were beautiful and the whole sky seemed to glow. It should have made her feel at peace, but it didn't. She wasn't sure if she would ever feel at peace again.

She had left school after the death of Dumbledore; not many Slytherins had stayed. When she arrived home, there was an owl from Adrian asking to speak to her right away. She thought it was strange that he asked to meet her at a park they used to go to when they were little, but she didn't hesitate to go.

She couldn't help but smile when she saw him. She hadn't seen him since Christmas break and he always took her breath away. She loved looking at him. He was tall, with a Quidditch-toned body that she loved wrapping her arms around. She loved running her hand through his curly blond hair. She wanted to run up to him and throw her arms around him but she could tell he was upset about something. She had been dating him off and on since her fifth year and his seventh and she had never seen him this upset about anything before.

She walked over to him and when she was close he pulled her to him. She wrapped her arms around him and just enjoyed being held by him again. He pulled away slightly, never letting go of her. She looked up at him and into his eyes and before she could even say anything he spoke. "I'm leaving England."

For a moment she was speechless, he couldn't leave; she needed him to much for him to walk away. "Why?"

He sighed and rested his forehead on hers. "Father is pressuring me to take the Mark. I can't do that, Trace," he whispered.

"What about us?"

He pulled away and smiled. "Come with me. We can find somewhere to get married. It's not the life that I wanted to give you, but at least we'll be together."

Tracey didn't need to think about it. It might be dangerous but they'd be together. She smiled up at him and nodded her head. "Yes, I'll marry you."

He bent down and kissed her quickly. "Go to Gringotts and get as much money as you can. Then go home and pack as much as you can carry and meet me back here before midnight. I was able to arrange a Portkey for midnight tonight. I love you."

She stepped out of his arms and smiled. "I love you, too. I'll see you at midnight."

She had done everything he asked. She had been pleasantly surprised that the Portkey had been for Italy. They had been married later that day. It hadn't been the ceremony that she had always planned in her head but it was still perfect. That had been two days ago and she knew that they would have to leave soon.
She sighed in contentment as strong arms wrapped around her. She leaned back into her husband's embrace and continued looking at the ocean. His voice tickled her ear when he spoke, "It's beautiful."

She nodded, "Yes it is."

After a few moments he spoke again, "We leave tomorrow."

"Where?"

"America. We can Portkey there and if we travel like Muggles we should be able to hide there for awhile."

She turned in his arms and wrapped her arms around his waist. "It sounds wonderful."

He smiled at her and they started walking back to the little beach house they rented for their honeymoon. She knew that hiding wouldn't be easy and that there would be many hard times ahead. She also knew that they could face anything as long as they were together.
