So, I'll take it as you all liked the last chapter?
Yay! They're finally together! And it only took what? 52 chapters? The big question is, what happens next?
Thank you for the reviews, favs and follows! Every time I get an email, I have a bit squeal inside... Okay, I need to get out more...
Please read, review and enjoy!

Dear Nymph,
Thanks. You were right. There, I said it. I want the keys back to my flat, though. You little sneak!
-Annie
P.S. Still can't believe you put money on it. How much was it?
5th March 1995
Dear Annie,
I am not a thief! I am simply take things without asking first, but I always give them back! (Well, most of the time).
Anyway, I KNEW IT! I bloody knew it! You've liked Charlie Weasley all these years and now you two are dating and you'll get married and have enough kids to form your own Quidditch team…
I really need to get out more…
Nah, I'm still awesome as always!
-Tonks
P.S. More than a little, less than a lot

Dear Nymph
You're a thief and you know it. May I refer you back to the case of my missing left shoe? Every day for a month straight you would hide it! And I was always late to Potions because of it. Now, Snape absolutely hates me! Especially after the incident with the exploding cauldron…which, may I remind you, was your fault too!
Okay, okay, hold your hippogriffs. Just because I'm now dating him (Merlin, that sounds weird, never thought I'd say that!), DOESN'T mean I will marry him or have a whole brood of ginger Quidditch players for kids!
No, you're not. You are very mean with a hyper-active imagination and a cruel sense of humour and I hate you.
Just kidding.
-Annie
P.S. How much is that? I mean, I know you're supposed to be all allusive and confidential with being an Auror but you can't even tell your own best friend how much money you bet on her getting with her ex-worst enemy? (Yet another thing I never thought I'd have to say).
P.S.S. Who did you even make this bet with?
P.S.S.S. And how did you even get Charlie in to my bloody flat?!
5th March 1995
Dear Bill,
When you said, and I quote 'Lads night out, just you and me,' I did not expect my wand being taken off of me and getting pushed into some randomer's house. Furthermore, I did not expect the girl I like being pushed into what turns out to be her flat, and getting locked in with her when she basically debunked me! Honestly, Bill, for a split second, I feared for my life.
However, the fact that the outcome was that the girl who I have liked for the past eleven years somehow agreed to go out with me! We had a lovely night of drinking and discussing how we were going to seriously maim the people who basically pushed us together. (I said maim, not kill, so we weren't that mad).
I look forward to the day when you are too chicken to ask a girl out and I get the pleasure of pulling one over on you.
Although I know I'll never hear the end of it, here it goes. Thank you, William Arthur Weasley, you truly are the best older brother in the world. And if you ever make me repeat this, I will hex you into oblivion.
Thanks, idiot.
-Charlie
P.S. Just to add, Annie actually had her wand and didn't apperate. And, she did end up kissing me. Just saying, I'm doing fine on my own.

Dear Charlie, my moron of a brother,
What?! We did have a drink out first! Can I just say, best visit home. Ever. Well, maybe not as good as the World Cup, but it's still up near the top.
You're not mad at me. In fact, you're slightly envious of me because, unlike you, the girls love me. Any girl I have liked hasn't spent at least ten years of the eleven years I've know them, hating my guts. So, score one for the older brother.
Please. As if I'd ever be nervous of asking a girl out.
Ha! I have it in writing! On your wedding day, I will tell everyone that I was right (well, sort of). That you and Annie own the many years of happiness to Tonks and I (yes, she helped. But if anyone asks, it was my idea.)
Aw, how cute. Little Charlie got his dream girl. Mum'll love it; she'll be planning the wedding in no time!
May be difficult for you to except (as it is for me to admit), but I know you can do alright on your own. Some of the time.
-Bill

Dear Dad,
Just a quick note to say hi. How's the restaurant going? You're not making Alison work too hard, are you? And how's the new boy – Zack, isn't it? I know I haven't written for a week or two, it's just I've been busy at work.
Cedric came first in the Second Task. You know, of the Tournament? The Quidditch player from Durmstrang originally came second but the judges decided that Harry should come second because of, and I quote, 'Outstanding moral fibre', meaning he was really selfless in the task and waited until everyone else had recovered their friend first. He's just like that.
Tonks says hi.
Love, Annie
P.S. I have a boyfriend.
6th March 1995
Dear Mum and Dad,
How's everything at home? Told you I'd write after the Task, didn't I? And before you ask, Ron and Harry are both fine. Just saw them yesterday, trying to get some homework done (Hermione already had it done.
The twins are fine too. Don't worry, they haven't blown up a toilet or anything (yet). Saw Bill last night and he sends his love. I'm sorry I couldn't stay for lunch yesterday, Bill dragged me out because we had… stuff to do. It's all sorted.
Really missing your cooking! Most of the meals I make taste like raw dragon hide… Had a nice meal the other day. Homemade Lancashire Hotpot. It was great.
Lots of Love,
Charlie
P.S. I have a girlfriend now. Her name is Annie.
7th March 1995
Dear Annie,
Before I start, I would like you to recall your seventh birthday, when you said, and I quote, 'Boys are icky.' That particular comment was made after little Robert Brown had tried to kiss you during the game of musical statues. You then proceed to promise me you'd never date a boy until you were thirty (I have it in writing).
When Chris first came round, I did think back to that promise, however, I was confident that it was merely puppy love and you would soon grow out of it. Although you did not, I did find myself somewhat relieved when you broke up with him because, let's face it, the boy was a fool.
It may just be a parent's pride, wanting the best for their child, but that boy did not deserve you.
So, now as I write this letter, I find myself asking, is this boy worth it?
Yet again, I am simply being an over protective parent, but I do not what another boy messing with your feelings. I know you have to kiss a lot of frogs before you find your prince but after what happened with Chris…
I'm a parent, Annie. After your mother… I just don't want you to get hurt again.
You only broke up with Chris a few months ago, are you sure you're ready for this?
Love,
Dad
P.S. If you are, then he must really be something.
7th March 1995
Charlie!
You have a girlfriend! And you only slipped it in at the end of your letter! I am your mother! I should be first to hear this sort of thing.
Of course, your father and I are thrilled! Oh, you must bring her round for tea. Are you both free on Saturday? I'll make sure your father and Percy are home, could you ask Bill? He's been so busy these past few days, meeting up with all his old school friends.
I want to know all about her! What's her name? What does she do? Where did you meet?
Oh! What should I cook?! What are her likes and dislikes? She's not allergic to anything is she? The dear.
Little Charlie's got a girlfriend! Oh I just can't believe it!
Love,
Mum
7th March 1995
Dear Charlie,
With any luck, this letter will have arrived after your mother's. Please excuse her, she was a bit overenthusiastic when she found out.
It's that lovely girl, Annie, isn't it? I thought you had a bit of a fancy for her when we saw her at the World Cup. And let me guess, Bill and her friend Tonks, helped set you up?
I'll see you on Saturday. Must go, have to stop your mother from planning the wedding.
Love,
Dad
7th March 1995
Dear Nymph,
I need your help. I'm meeting Charlie's mother on Saturday. I've already meet Mr Weasley before, but mothers are completely different!
What if she doesn't like me?
-Annie
7th March 1995
Dear Annie,
You worry too much. I've meet Mrs Weasley, and let me tell you, she'll love you!
Got to go, work and stuff.
Love,
Tonks
P.S. She is an AMAZING cook.
7th March 1995
Dear Dad,
Thanks. Really, I know you care. But don't worry, I have a good feeling about this.
Lots of Love,
Annie
