Ice cream.

Something that soothes me in a way, nothing else can.

And so as I sat outside an ice cream parlour in Muggle London, it felt oddly soothing.

I mulled over the happenings of the previous night as I devoured my ice cream. Everyone was happy to show him everything. Memories that is. They had also told their parents. The whole family was happy.

I also couldn't keep the smile from my face when I remembered Louis' happy face. Something I hadn't had the previledge to see since his attack. He hated having forgotten everything. He had always craved for knowledge. Sometimes, I wondered why the hat didn't put him in ravenclaw. But, then I saw why. Because he didn't always depend on a book. And even then got almost all O's in his OWL's and NEWTS.

"Hey!"

I whirled around at the sound of the familiar voice.

"Hi!" I greeted Louis mirroring his smile.

"What are you doing here?" I blurted out. Sometimes I just cant keep my mouth shut

He didn't seemed offended though, just rolled his eyes at me, the smile still intact.

"I can't come here?" He asked taking a seat opposite me.

"There's an attacker out there somewhere waiting for you to come out to pounce on you. You do know you are giving an easy passage to him?" I replied.

"Wow!" He exclaimed. "That's a lot. But, seriously I was bored cooped up in that apartment. It was too much. So, I sneaked out. Aaannndd..." he drawled on but didn't finish. At least not until I raised one eyebrow. "I saw you sitting here staring at space. I figured you wouldn't run to Uncle Harry screaming murder and turn me in if I came to say hi. But, I guess that's a wrong assumption?"

I gave him a not impressed look. He sighed.

"It's dangerous." I told him quietly once we lasped to silence. He took a seat opposite me.

"I know but it's getting too much." He told me.

I looked at him. Really looked at him. He didn't seem good. Everything had taken a toll on him. The sparkle in his eyes was missing. His cheerful attitude had gone. He became the shell of who he was.

"Your order ma'am." A waitress materialized out of the blue. I had forgotten about ordering another scoop of the chocolatey heaven. "Hope you have a good day. Call me if you want something else. Can I get you anything sir?" She continued. But her attention had transferred to Louis.

I could see the girl had taken a liking to him, most people does. She was smiling a bit too much. But, he didn't seem to notice it. "Umm... no thanks. I'm fine."

The girl seemed dissapointed. And with one last look she went inside.

"So, where are you headed to?" I asked him. He just shrugged.

"I just came out for a walk. Figured Muggle London would be better. Do you come here often?"

"London? Yeah! I am a Muggle born. This parlour? Not really." I answered taking anpther spoon of ice cream to my mouth.

He smiled but shook his head when I offered him the new bowl.

"Go on. Have it. I haven't even finished this once." I told him. It was true. I hadn't finished my sumdae but had ordered another one. Some weird thing I have when it comes to ice cream.

"It's fine. It's yours." He said. But, I frowned at his words. And before I could stop myself, I blurted out. "That has never been a problem before."

I gaped at him when I realized what I said.

"So we were close?" He asked. One raised eyebrow in a perfect arch.

"Huh?" I squeaked.

"I asked you that day at the burrow remember? If we were close? You never answered." He said taking the bowl from the table and scooping a spoonful of the icy goodness into his mouth. Granted it had started to melt but I guess it still tasted amazing as he gave me a blissful smile.

It was only then that I came out of the trance I was in.

Soon, we finished our ice creams. And I found myself walking the streets of London with Louis once again. It was just like the countless other times except he didn't know any of that. And as much as I wanted to cry, I didn't. Instead I concentrated on how I was with him.

Silence had fallen on us to the walk to James's flat. I had convinced him to go back. He insisted I come with. So, I did.

Soon we reached the apartment that he shared with James. He invited me inside and we sat there talking and laughing for some time sipping on cold coffee that he brewed. Soon it was time for me to go but he stopped me just as I reached the door.

"You know what?" He suddenly began. I gave a small hmm... and he took that as his sign to continue. "I may not remember you, but I do feel like I know you. I can't explain it. But, I do." He gave me a smile. I won't deny that my heart fluttered at his words. "And I would love to get to know you again." He finished in a quiet voice.

I smiled. I felt happier then I have been these days. I turned around to walk away and I did but I couldn't help when my fingers touch the ring I had put around the chain.

Maybe everything will be ok again.

...

The plan to show Louis the memories was put into action as Harry got the pensieve.

I knew I had to tell everyone what was in my mind and so the first day that they decided to show Louis the memories I called them to come half an hour earlier.

They freaked out.

Not that I hadn't expected it but what I hadn't thought about happening was James shouting at me "What the hell Ree? How can you think like this? Do this to him and you?"

I didn't know what to reply. So I explained patiently. "James I want him to feel everything and I am not sure showing him memories would do that."

"So you are not going to tell him not until he feels something?"

I nodded my head.

"She is right James." Rose Said Ginny and Hermione nodded too and smiled at me.

"Yes! She is. It will be too much for him to take it all at once. She is not his girlfriend, James. Ree is his fiance. They were thinking of getting married. That's a lot to take in. It needs time. How would you feel if you wake up one day in a body you didn't rember having, all the people you knew grown up, them telling you are 23 while the only thing you remember is going to sleep while you were fifteen and top of all that everyone saying you have a fiance?" Hermoine explained.

"Ok. Fine. But doesn't he deserve the truth?" James asked defiently.

"He does. And Ree? You have got to tell him eventually." Hermoine said again.

I nodded. I knew I would have to tell him eventually.

Everyone was silent, when Harry broke it."We're proud of you you know that right Ree?" Harry asked.

"Of course." I replied with a grin.

"You are doing the right thing." He said again.

"Yes dear. What you are doing takes a lot of courage." Nana Molly said.

"You are a true Gryffindor. No doubt about that." George quipped up from his place, a huge grin covering his face.

I smiled at the family, I felt was like my own. They would always be behind me, no matter what and seeing them being proud of me made my heart ache in a good way.

"'e still lovez you." I turned to the voice. "I can see it. 'e just doesn't understand it." Fleur said with a small smile. "I have seen 'im look at you when 'e thinks no one is watching." She added in a small voice.

I smiled yet once again.

So his family accepted my decision. So it was decided that they would not show any memory of us togather. I was happy at that.

I knew I couldn't get the old Louis back. So I was going to do what is right and I'm going to do it the right way.

And maybe it's for the best.

A/N- I had real trouble with Fleur's accent. I tried my best. Sorry, if it's wrong.
