There was a saddening silence that seemed to hang in the air, as a young lady and young man walked down the street hand in hand. The only light the night seemed to posses was the moon and it currently was reflecting off the wet pavement of the street. Each word they said and every breath the couple took was emphasized by a little cloud where the hot breathe met the cold air. Each yard was damp as if the rain was evenly disputed onto every lawn. It seemed the only warmth they would receive would be from each other so the couple walked closely, with his hand around her waist and her head softly placed on his shoulder. The couple stopped walking and they look into each others eyes.

"Emily," he whispers into her ear, "it's not like I'm leaving you forever. Have you forgotten that we've done this a year before?"

"How could I forget the worst year of my life." She replies, her face resting on his chest, and a tear trickling down her cheek. "I just don't see why we have to be separated for another year. I mean I can drop out you know. Leave Hogwarts."

"What?" he said instantly shocked lifting her head so their eyes would meet, and wiping the tear that was sliding down her cheek. "Emily how could you even say something like that? Are you thinking before you speak? Listen to what you just said; Leave all the great things at Hogwarts?"

"What great things? No friends? Always by my lonesome. Tell me Nathan, what great things do I have at Hogwarts?" she said looking away from him getting upset.

"An education! A chance for a future! A life without dependency. Emily you have all the potential and more! But it's when you say stuff like that that I doubt such things." He replied loudly then alleviating his tone.

She became angrier with his comment and backed away from his embrace saying "You just want a year not to deal with me. Not like you miss me with all your friends and all the girls hanging on you. You get to go and do what you want. Practice Quidditch everyday. "

"Just because you're jealous! And you don't have…" he started, but decided to make the best out of the time they have together. "Beautiful, every second I spend away from you is another piece of my heart that dies until I see you again." Pulling her into a hug he apologized for their argument and kissed her a few times on her forehead." I have a favor to ask you." He said as if a little nervous.

"Yes?" she said a bit scared of what was to come as pessimistic thoughts filled her brain.

"Promise me…" he said reaching into his pocket and pulling out a blue velvet box, "…that you'll truly love me infinitely. That you'll stay mine forever." Bending down on one knee on the floor before her he opened the box to reveal a white gold band with a white diamond set in the middle.

A silence that killed Nathan hung about in the air for a minute and he was about to stand up and hang his head in defeat when he heard her say "Yes. Yes! Of course." She began to chuckle slightly and reached down for his arm to help him up, "Get up. Get off the floor before you get soaking wet."

They both smiled at each other and met in a warm embrace followed by a kiss with passion. He smiled down at her at took her hand in his and slid the luxurious ring on her finger and she stared at it for a minute until she look up and they got lost in each other's gaze.

"So how did your mother and father react when you told them?" she asked him walking hand in hand on the platform.

"Oh they knew. I had to announce to my mother and father what I planned to do, and then ask your mother and father's permission." He replied as he kept looking forward.

She chuckled, "Such a charmer." They both stopped when they reached the second to last passenger cart and faced each other.

"Promise you'll write everyday?" Nathan said with one hundred percent sincerity taking her hands in his.

"Nope. Just whenever I feel like it." she laughed and she thought about the unfamiliarity of the ring that sat on her hand.

"Promise me." He begged her.

"I promise. You have nothing to worry about Nathan. It's not like I'll off and run with a boy. I don't even have any friends at Hogwarts."

"Well maybe this is the year all those stupid boys will come to their senses and realize what a beautiful person they are missing out on." He smiled down to her.

She laughed. The only 'stupid boys' who even noticed her were Potter and Black, and they're next steps we're more than likely not devolving a crush on the girl they continuously liked to call Horridly Hideous Hollins. "That I highly doubt but thanks for trying to make me feel better." They smiled at each other and decided it best for them to say their goodbye's before this got any harder.

"You can start by writing me one right when you get in your compartment, Okay?"

"Okay. Now go before you're late for practice," she said standing on her tippy-toes to kiss him on the cheek.

"I'm not going to see my new fiancé 'till Christmas and she only gives me a kiss on the cheek." He said holding his cheek as if it pained him. Rolling her eyes at him she leaned in and gave him an over exaggerated kiss. "If only everyone of our kisses was like that." He laughed and then became serious. "I'll see you First day of Christmas break." He said more of as a question than a confirmation.

"Of course you will. But I've got to go before the train leaves." She said picking up her bag and heading towards the train.

"I Love you!" he shouted at her.

"I love you too!" she shouted back turning around on the boarding stairs. She paused on the stair for a second then smiled and turned around heading for a compartment.

Luckily she wasn't as late as she thought she was and she found an empty compartment to sit in. After a few minutes of shifting around on the seat to make herself comfortable she found a position that she was comfortable in. She decided it best to start writing Nathan a letter like she had promised, and to get it out of the way. She pulled out a piece of parchment, a small container of ink, and the quill Nathan had gotten her for her birthday, when he had traveled to Italy with the Quidditch team.

Day 01 Year 02
My Dearest Fiancé,

Ha. Isn't that the strangest thing to say? Don't get me wrong, I'm extremely joyous and impatient to become Mrs. Nathan Weber. In fact I think I'll write it a few times just to get used to it.

Mr. and Mrs. Nathan Weber
Mrs. Nathan Weber
Mrs. Emily Weber
Emily Weber formally known as Emily Hollins

That was a bit extreme. Truthfully, I can't wait to change my name to Weber. That way Potter and Black can't call me that horrid nickname ever again

She had all the intention to finish her letter to Nathan, however, just when she had finished writing the sentence about the taunting nickname, she heard a loud thud followed by the very voices of the ones she despised.

"I told you Evans, you can't deny your love for me much longer!" Potter shouted at someone in the front of the train.

"Yes love. That banishing charm was really love." She heard placing the voice to that of Remus Lupin.

"What was that Remus?" Potter questioned in an authoritative matter.

"You know you heard me James. Why question the obvious? It makes you seem so, unintelligent." Remus replied.

"Well anyways, lets find ourselves a compartment, what do you say Sirius?"

"Amen is what I say." Sirius Black said as if he had been walking all his life unable to sit once.

The shadows near Emily's Compartment door grew bigger and the voices louder. She had lost all movement due to seer panic and wasn't quite sure what to do. However the rattling of the sliding door awoke her from her trance and before it was opened she quickly muttered "Appareo" and tapped her paper to make the words on her paper disappear.
