The order of the phoenix sat in the dining hall having yet another meeting when the doors to the dining room opened and a beautiful 18 year old blond woman walked into the room. Oh, my professors I'm sorry to intrude I was looking for James and I wasn't aware he had company at the moment."

The teachers of Hogwarts looked at her and recognized her as one the students that just recently graduated that year, Astoria Greengrass. "Ms. Greengrass whatever are you doing here" asked Professor Mcgonagall?

"James is my fiance through an arranged marriage." Astoria said. "As I'm sure you can imagine at first I was undeniably angry at my parents and refused to leave my room for a week. Then James came by and I was expecting him to be some old fart, no offense, so I was surprised by his appearance. He came into my room and talked to me and eventually I grew to except it and fall in love with him."

"Aww," was the collective sound heard from all of the women in the room.'That's so romantic' they all thought in unison.

"How old were you when you first learned of the arranged marriage," asked the transfiguration teacher?

"I believe I was 14 years old." Said Astoria.

"I believe you would be right." Intoned a deep smooth voice from behind her. Astoria shrieked and jumped almost a foot in the air before she turned around and smacked James in the arm.

"You know I don't like it when you sneak up on me." She told him.

"Yes but you always look so cute when I do." He responded. Then he drew her into a hug and gave her a kiss on the cheek. "Come on let's go somewhere more private to catch up and leave these ladies and gentleman to their conversations.

The couple walked out of the room up the stairs and into James study.

The study was a rather large room with defense and warding books lining the walls from the floor to the ceiling, and at the end there was a large oak desk with a comfortable chair behind it.

James walked behind the desk and sat down at his chair. Then he patted his lap and invited Astoria to join him. She walked around and sat on his lap while he rapped his arms around her slim waist. There they spent the rest of the day catching up before they got tired and went to their separate bedrooms.

The next morning James got up showered, changed, and left to the burrow. The weasleys it turned out needed their wards upgraded and hired him to do it for them. When he exited the fireplace covered in soot he immediately magicked the ash off of him. He looked up and saw Arthur sitting at a dining table looking at him.

"Hello Arthur I just came by to do those wards for you. And since your a member of the order I'll even give you a discount." James told him.

"Thank you, do you need anything specific to upgrade the wards." Arthur asked?

"No thank you I just need to go outside" he said. He looked around and saw a door near where he was. "Its just through here correct." he asked? He looked at Arthur and saw him nod at him.

James walked outside into the backyard and saw a quidditch pitch with seven people playing a game. He smiled at them before he pulled out his wand. He pointed it strait into the air before he started chanting softly in Latin. Balls of different colored light popped out of his wand like a roman candle. They flew up until the impacted something invisible and a dome of words lit up in the same colors as the balls every time one of them hit it. He continued like this for an entire hour before he was finally finished. Then Arthur payed him and he left back to his home.
