Arthur and Amelia worked together for years, being part of the Order together through the rough times, but sometimes it was difficult to be that close. They had dated back when they were in Hogwarts. Amelia approached Arthur one day at the Ministry of Magic before the second reign of the Dark Lord. "Look, I have a feeling that something bad is going to happen, and I want to do something," Amelia said, being rather shyer than her normal in-charge self.

"What are you talking about? You can't act like this, we need to keep positive," Arthur said, pulling her off to the side of the hallway, so they could be out of the way.

"But there is just a bad thing about to happen," she said. "I just need to do something before its too late."

"What -?" he began but was cut off when she brought her hands to his face, pulling him down into a kiss. It was short, and chaste, but meaningful. Arthur stood there in shock, but the tips of his ears turned a bit red.

"That's it," she said, blushing before she walked away.

It was in the Daily Prophet the next day that Amelia Bones had been murdered inside a locked room.
