The room was filled with complete and total silence. In the middle of the room knelt Draco Malfoy. In his left hand he held an open ring box, and in the right he held Anne's hand. Anne Black stood before him. One hand clasped in his and the other over her mouth in shock. To her right, sat Remus Lupin. He sat at the edge of his chair, a newspaper lying on his lap. On the couch next to him sat Ron Weasley, Harry Potter, and Hermione Granger. They looked at the two expectantly. Last, on the armchair opposite of Lupin's, sat Nymphadora Tonks. She to sat at the edge of her chair looking at the pair. Anne smiled into Draco's blue-gray eyes.
"Yes Draco. Yes, I will marry you"
He smiled and slipped the ring on her finger. She hugged him around the neck and kissed him. The others behind the jumped to their feet to hug them also. Remus was a bit wary of this, becuase of how young they were but he congraulated them anyway. Anne turned to Harry and threw her arms around him and hugged him tightly.
"Congratulations Anne" he smiled.
"Thank you so much Harry, for everything"
She then hugged Hermione and Ron. She turned around and looked up at Draco. She laughed and kissed him again. This was the greatest moment of her life.
"The greatest birthday present ever" she whispered into his ear, as they danced around the room.
"I'm glad you think so" he whispered back.
"It's time for bed you two" said Remus at about two o' clock a.m.
They smiled and Draco pulled her to her feet.
"Seperate bedrooms" he yelled after them.
They laughed at him and raced up the stairs.
It was just Tonks and Lupin sitting in the room. Lupin was sitting back in his armchair looking worried. Tonks looked up from her book with a concerned look on her face.
"Remus--What's wrong?" she asked.
"They are a bit young, don't you agree?"
"To get married?"
"Yes"
"Well, they are only eighteen, but that's old enough. They love each other, you can see it in their eyes--we can do nothing to stop them"
"I don't want to stop them" Lupin said, sighing.
"Anne needs you to support her on this, if she doesn't have you she has no one"
"I know" he said sighing again.
They both got up and went to bed. They awoke to something they would never have expected.
"What are you two doing?" asked Lupin.
"It's six in the morning!" exclaimed Tonks.
In the kitched before them, sat Anne and Draco. A large piece of paper in front of them with a floating quill on top it. The top read 'Wedding Plans' in big letters.
"Wedding Plans?" asked Harry coming up behind the pair.
"Yes, invitation lists and such" explained Anne.
Harry just nodded and went to get some breakfast while Lupin and Tonks were still standing in shock.
"Man Moony?" Anne asked. (What Moony?)
"Baw-nad" he said shaking his head. (Nothing)
They pair continued discussing things as Hermione and Ron came down. They didn't pay much heed to the pair, but continued to get some breakfast with Harry.
"We were making a guest list" explained Draco.
"Do you wish to hear it?" asked Anne.
"Oh yes, please" said Hermione sitting down next to Draco.
Here is a copy of the list as follows:
Moony, Tonks, Harry, Ron, Hermione, Dumbledore, Moody, Kinsley, Fred and George, Oliver, the whole Gryffidor quidditch team, all the gryffidors, the weasley family, the granger family and all the teachers including Snape.
"We had a little argument about inviting Snape, but we finally agreed that it would only be fair to invite him" explained Anne.
Ron just grunted, and Harry and Hermione laughed at this.
"Yes, it would be rude not to invite him" said Hermione
"Though I doubt he'll come" commented Ron.
Draco and Anne just shrugged and went back to talking with their mind, a rare gift of theirs.
Most of the family was going out the next day. Anne and Lupin were staying home though. Everybody left at about one o' clock. Anne was up in her room daydreaming once again, about her wedding, and Lupin was sitting in the living room reading the 'Daily Prophet". Finally Anne came back to reality and hoping off her bed preceded downstairs.
"Hey Moony" she said, sitting down on the arm of his chair.
He just nodded an acknowledgement to her, and she gave him a confused look in return.
"Moony--what's wrong?"
"Nothing Anne" he sighed.
"Something's wrong--tell me"
"You just tell me--am I going to lose you forever when you get married?"
"Lose me forever?" she laughed, "Moony you couldn't lose me if you tried"
He smiled at her and she crawled into his lap, just like when she was a little girl, and she hugged him tightly. Suddenly, there was a loud clatter coming from the main hallway outside the living room. Anne threw a look at the clock--two o' clock--would they be back so soon? The pair got up and ran to the front room. Anne put her hand to her mouth and closed her eyes.
"It can't be--not again" he thought desperately.
"Yes Draco. Yes, I will marry you"
He smiled and slipped the ring on her finger. She hugged him around the neck and kissed him. The others behind the jumped to their feet to hug them also. Remus was a bit wary of this, becuase of how young they were but he congraulated them anyway. Anne turned to Harry and threw her arms around him and hugged him tightly.
