*scary voice* I'm baaack! My grandma has been very sick, if you read my profile, but she's doing much better so I've decided to work on this again. I'm planning on just working on this series but I may work on my A Light in The Storm at some point. So this was fun to work on because what I've been waiting to do happens (can you guess?). Okay, enjoy chapter three!

Chapter Three
"Lav! Parvati!" I waved my arm from where I was sitting next to Harry as we ate some ice cream. My two dorm mates came up with grins before they saw Harry. They looked at me and I grinned. "We made up."
"Oh." Lavender said as Harry shrugged.
"Ooooh, where did you get that bracelet!" Parvati squealed and Harry rolled his eyes.
"I'm going to look at the Firebolt."
"Okay, have fun torturing yourself." I grinned and he stuck his tongue out before leaving.
"Where did you get the bracelet?" Parvati demanded again and I blushed.
"George gave it to me for my birthday."
"And how are you going to say thank you?" Lavender raised an eyebrow and I turned redder.
"She might not need to figure that out." We looked over to see Hermione standing there with a smile. I got up and we all hugged.
"Thank you for the pajama bottoms." I said and she shrugged.
"As I was saying, I saw the Weasleys head into the Leaky Cauldron just a few minutes ago and George said he was looking for you." Just then, George appeared.
"Hey, can I talk to you?" He asked and I nodded before following him into the Leaky Cauldron. It was empty except for Tom the Inn Keeper and a few bar goers.
"What's up?" I asked and he cleared his throat.
"Well-it's just-I wanted to say-"
"You're rambling, whats wrong?" I frowned and he suddenly cupped my cheek and put his lips to mine. I squeaked before getting out of my shock and kissing him back.
It was better than anything I could imagine. His lips were so soft against mine and I couldn't help but tangle my fingers in his hair as we kissed. A sense of contentment seemed to engulf me and I pulled myself closer to him. Oh I was right to wait because this was just perfect in my mind and I wanted it to last forever. It was like everything was being let out as I held onto him but eventually air was needed so he pulled away with a grin. Something in me wanted to pull him back to my lips but maybe it was just a first kiss high and believe me, that was an amazing first kiss.
"Definitely worth the wait." He said quietly and I bit my lip. My arms were still around his neck and I pulled his head back down.
"Definitely." I whispered against his lips and he grinned.
"So do you want to go to Hogsmeade with me?" He asked once his mouth was free again. I pretended to think.
"I guess Weasley." I grinned at him and he looked relieved before taking my hand.
"So, how was this summer with Harry?"
"I never got to tell you but about four weeks ago, we made up." I shrugged and he looked stunned.
"So you two aren't fighting or anything?"
"Nah, seems pointless really. He apologized and I apologized, so we're good." I smiled and kissed his cheek before we walked out into Diagon Alley.
…..
"Are you sure Hermione?" I asked as I hesitantly scratched the grumpy looking cat behind the ears. It started purring and I smiled.
"He's a sweetheart, isn't he?"
"Sweetheart my arse." Ron muttered and I glared at him.
Harry had explained the situation and Ron was just as pleased as me. He obviously hadn't forgiven me for the howler his mum sent him during first year. Well I still hadn't forgiven him for ruining my locket but I would deal with him for Harry. Hermione was even iffier but said she would stick by me in any case. So now we had a lopsided quartet going on.
"Oh all Crookshanks did was attack Scabbers. He's a cat. They attack rodents." I shrugged and Ron glowered but I ignored him.
George's hand was still in mine as we walked back to the Leaky Cauldron. Fred kept waggling his eyebrows at me and I scowled at him while George chuckled. I sighed as we entered the pub and I could feel Mrs. Weasleys happy eyes on our joined hands. I knew she knew about the marriage contract/soul bond but I didn't know how to talk to her about it. Well George obviously did because he pulled me over.
"Mum can we talk to you privately?"
"What are you doing?"
"I want answers. You want answers. We're getting answers."
"Of course dear." She smiled and we followed her. Once we were alone in my room, Mrs. Weasley spoke. "So is this about the soul bond or marriage contract?" I recovered from her spot on question first.
"Both. All I got was a letter from my mum when I was eleven that said I had a soul mate and a marriage contract with the same person."
"We realized it was me when, well, the first clue was when our hands touched for the first time and suddenly we could hear each other's thoughts. Then I had a memory of us soul bonding when I was three."
"Well with a soul bond you get a mind link. With the marriage contract, when Emily turns seventeen, you two will officially be engaged as you both have to be of age in the wizarding world."
"And why didn't you tell me?" George asked a question I knew was bugging him.
"Your father and I promised Lily and James we would wait until it was the right time." Mrs. Weasley sighed. "We wanted you to figure it out yourselves."
"Oh." George frowned and I squeezed his hand causing him to smile.
"Is that everything you wanted to know?"
"Yes." We said together and she nodded with a smile before leaving the room. George looked at me and I smiled, causing him to grin before kissing me gently. I sighed against his mouth, feeling like everything was perfect.
