It was a little after eight that night when the new Weasley clan had finished with their large, celebratory dinner in honor of welcoming their newest veela's mate home.
Ron couldn't have been more proud of Brylie and her eagerness to jump back into his family's life without any sort of hesitation.
He knew it must be hard leaving Charlie and all that she knew back in Romania and he hoped that she was adjusting well to her new surroundings.
So, after dinner he decided that now was as best a time as ever to find out.
As Brylie and he listened to the conversations happening amongst the others at the dining table, Ron leaned over and whispered quietly into his mate's ear immediately catching her attention.
"Hey Bry, fancy going on a walk through the gardens with me? I was thinking we could get away from all of this for a while. And you know, get to know each other again."
Brylie's face broke out into a huge grin and a blush spread over her pale features as she nodded in agreement making Ron beam with happiness at his mate's willingness.
Ron cleared his throat loudly catching everyone at the table's attention and gestured to his mate who sat next to him with his hand gently clasped in her own.
"Well, that was a wonderful dinner. Thank you all for being so amazing. But Bry and I are going to take a walk now. We'll be back later, yeah?"
He said as his eyes found his mate's and he gave her a heart stopping smile.
Molly and Arthur looked at one another while Percy and Ginny grinned and snickered.
The twins were out for the evening on a double date, leaving only three out of the seven Weasley children home for the night.
Arthur nodded his consent to Ron who smiled gratefully before carefully helping his mate to her feet.
With one last nod, he gave Brylie's hand a squeeze and led her out into the moonlit gardens that surrounded the Burrow.
"Oh Ron, it's lovely out tonight."
Brylie exclaimed as she stopped out in the middle of the garden to gaze up at the full, yellow moon.
Ron nodded but his eyes were solely on her and her alone.
"You're even more lovely, little one."
He said quietly as he gently pulled her into his arms and sighed at the feeling of her body molding to his own.
"Tell me, are you glad to be home or are you finding it hard being away from Char and the dragons?"
He asked as he smiled into her long hair, rubbing his nose along the dyed tresses.
She giggled and nodded into his chest as she gave him a tight squeeze to which he eagerly returned.
"I'm very happy to be home. I never thought I would get to be again but I'm glad that it's finally happened and we can be together just as we always said we would."
She whispered as she ran her nose along the fabric of his thin t shirt making him let out a satisfied rumble.
"Good. I don't know what I'd do if you missed Charlie more than me."
Ron said quietly and she raised her head slightly to see that a small red blush had formed on her mate's cheeks that shone through the darkness in the brightness of the moonlight.
"Are you jealous, Ronny? Jealous of your own brother?"
She laughed making him roll his eyes and give her another tight squeeze before pulling her as close as possible and placing his hand on her lower back so he could stroke the soft skin that was exposed from the edge of her t shirt.
"Of course not. I just…haven't gotten used to other males being around you yet. Even if it is my own family."
He answered truthfully making her nod in understanding.
"I was feeling a bit possessive myself today when Ginny told me you had dated that girl Hermione."
She admitted making him pull back slightly to look down at her in surprise.
"She told you that, did she? Well I suppose it's technically true. In Hermione's eye's anyways.
She always was gushing to Gin about how in love she was with me.
I wasn't so sure she was really in love with me or if she was confusing her feelings for me as a friend as opposed to a lover.
I was never in love with her myself. Never thought to see her that way.
It was like something…was telling not to fall for anyone else.
I really believe it was my veela telling me to wait because you were coming home to me soon."
He explained making small tears form at the corner of her eyes.
"Oh love, why are you crying? Did I upset you? I'm so sorry."
Ron mumbled as he took the sleeve of his black hoodie that he was wearing and wiped it gently over her eyes.
Brylie smiled and laughed before catching his hoodie covered palm in her own.
"I'm fine. I promise. I just think it's really sweet that your veela knew to make you wait for me."
She whispered back making Ron let out a deep chuckle and take her face in his hands before capturing her lips with his own.
Brylie felt her world stop as time slowed and her lips melded with her mates.
The way he kissed her was the way she always dreamed it would be if he had.
And she was begging him internally to never stop. Never walk away from this moment.
This feeling that they had between them.
Her marking bite that he had left on her shoulder was throbbing hard and Ron instinctively pulled back with his eyes flashing a dark black so he could gently run his hand underneath the collar of her t shirt and over the mark that had almost completely healed.
He had transferred magical energy to her when he marked her so it would prepare her for their mating and full soul bonding that would occur sometime after he had gotten her fully settled here in her new life.
He let out a rumble of approval when she bent her neck slightly to the side in an act of submission to his veela making his veela fill with pride and love for his mate.
His fingers gently traced the outline of his mark on her shoulder and he smiled with his fangs on full display when he heard her gasp slightly and then let out a breathy moan before falling forward slightly into his waiting arms and against his hardened chest.
"That's right, Bry Bry. You're all mine now. And I promise you that nothing will ever come between us ever again. I swear my life on it. This is my promise to you, my mate. My love."
He cooed to her in the language of veela that only she would understand.
She let out a responding coo in appreciation and nuzzled deep into his hoodie making him chuckle as his eyes slowly returned to their normal bright blue.
"Always were the cuddle bug, weren't you my love?"
He whispered into her ear feeling how exhaustion from a full and exciting day had slipped over his mate's consciousness making her vision slightly hazy and her mind quiet.
"Come on love. Time for bed. I doubt mum expects much from us tonight anyways. We're supposed to be bonding. And that will be exact what we'll do."
He said as he gently placed his hands under her knees and scooped her up into his arms, holding her tightly against his chest.
By the time he had started to carry her inside, she was already snoring lightly against him.
Only Molly and Arthur were left in the living room now as Ron quietly passed them with a smile.
Molly looked to have tears of joy in her eyes and his father looked on proudly as he carried his mate up the stairs and into their bed.
Ron was unsure if this bed or one at Hogwarts would be their mating bed, but for now he imagined to be as he laid her gently down underneath the covers and dropped his boots to the floor before carefully shedding his mate's boots and snuggling in beside her.
His arms wrapped around her tightly and he let out a contented sigh knowing that their journey and life together had only just begun.
