CHAPTER 1

"You kids go to sleep!"

Molly Weasley yelled upstairs to her twins room in the burrow. She shook her head and made her way to the room her and her husband shared. She knew they wouldn't be going to sleep anytime soon but she was relieved they were still acting like kids in midst of all this death and sorrow.

"She knows we won't be going to sleep"

Both of the Weasley twins laughed at the young woman's comment. Chloe had been the twin's best friend since they were kids. They were inseparable, even now Molly didn't object to them sleeping in the same bed. During their first few years in Hogwarts Mr. Weasley made Chloe sleep in Ginny's room but eventually eased up.

"Remember dad made you sleep downstairs…"

"And you would always sneak up here and have to get up early to make it to Ginny's room"

Chloe smiled at the memory. She knew that now no one would say that they were more than friends. The young girl had settled comfortably onto Fred's chest when George flopped onto her stomach draping his arm over her. The boys fell asleep easily but Chloe's nerves kept her up. She wouldn't be able to handle loosing either of the twins in the final battle. She wouldn't be strong enough to bear the grief. They were her reason for being happy now that her parents were gone.

"Chloe…go to sleep"

George took hold of her hand and drew circles on it with his thumb hoping to calm her.

"I can't George…"

"Come on there's a wedding tomorrow"

With a sigh the young woman laid her head back and closed her eyes. She let her hand run through George's hair until she fell asleep. The next morning she woke up to an empty bed, the twins had already gotten up and were probably helping set up for the wedding. She smiled at the thought of being Fleur's bride's maid. Fleur had been like a sister to her, just like the Weasleys had been family.

"Hurry up, girl!"

Molly was rushing around the kitchen apron covering her beautiful dress. Chloe shook her head and grabbed a plate of food deciding to take it to Fred and George's room so she could eat in peace. Before she was even halfway through Fred burst in the room already stripping.

"You do know the weddings in an hour"

"I'm trying to eat Fred I'd prefer to do so without you stripping!"

"You like it! I have no idea why you have to hide your feelings for me"

Fred threw himself dramatically onto Chloe making her spill her plate onto the floor.

"Fred Weasley, you better clean that up and get me another plate of food!"

"Too bad princess there's none left! Georgie and me ate it all"

"You two get dressed!"

George came into the room dressed in a colorful tux and a plate of food in his hand.

"Oh my gosh, thank you George! Your my favorite Fred spilt mine!"

Chloe had her arms wrapped around George's neck and was sticking her tongue out at Fred. Fred laughed and finished getting dressed while she ate. When she was done Fred took both of the plates and George followed after him, they had always given her the privacy they didn't allow anyone else to have. Chloe's dress was a metallic teal with a heart shaped plunge in the front and a corset design in the back. Her shoes were simple silver flats because she knew she would fall flat on her face in heels.

The next hour was hectic and everyone was focused on the bride and groom. Chloe went and checked on Bill who was a nervous wreck as he attempted to tie his tie with shaking hands.

"Of course none of your brothers help you! Men they're hopeless!"

"But you love us"

This statement made her smile because there was no doubt that she loved all the Weasley men and the women.

"Thank you, you look beautiful Chloe you've grown and I'm glad you can be part of all this with us"

"Thank you, I'm so glad I can be too"

Chloe left before she got sentimental and ruined her make-up, Fleur would be furious if she had. When she arrived to Fleur's dressing room George was waiting outside. They would be walking down the aisle together and Fred with Fleur's sister. Fleur came out of the dressing room beaming, her father at her side.

"Ready?"

"Yes"

Chloe laced her arms through George's and waited for the music to start. Her heartbeat sped up in anticipation; they had all been waiting for this wedding way too long. George smiled down at her before they took their first step onto the aisle. Without being aware of it Chloe imagined this being her wedding and she wondered who would be at the end of the aisle waiting for her. She had never cared before. School and keeping up with Fred and George's crazy pranks had been hard enough. Now in the midst of a war there was some happiness and it made her think back, and also think about the future if she would have someone to give her away.

"Don't cry yet dear, you'll ruin your lovely face"

George whispered into her ear making her blush slightly. When they were all seated Fleur made her way down the aisle and to her future. The rest of the ceremony was a blur, Molly was crying throughout the whole thing and so were half the guests.
