A/N: Sorry for the wait, we had trouble deciding where to end this chapter.

Just as Sandy turned the water on, Harry walked through the door. Sirius took this time to tell him what he had seen. Harry blew up with rage, and not knowing Sandy had already removed her clothes, he burst through the bathroom door. She screamed and grabbed for her towel. "Harry James Potter!" She yelled at him, for no reason in particular. True they were getting married so it wasn't like it mattered that he saw her indisposed, but the sudden outburst of noise shocked her. Furious, Harry didn't bother to leave. Sandy eyed him with anger and question as she wrapped the towel around herself properly. "What is this all about?" she asked calmly. Harry knew if he mentioned what Sirius had told him, his anger would take over and he would end up doing something he knew he would dreadfully regret. "Just finish and get dressed. We're going out," Harry said through clenched teeth, then turned and walked away. Sandy finished showering and picked out a long silk dress robe to match the color of her eyes. She knew that aqua was Harry's favorite color. The silver locket Ron had given her, which she never took off, looked wonderful with it. Inside was held the first picture taken of Harry and her together as a couple. Harry didn't know this, seeing as he had never asked, so she had never told him. Sandy applied some muggle make-up, putting her long hair in a twist making little strands that claimed her face and then she slipped on her shoes.
Draco turned a corner thinking he knew where he was, only to find that he was hopelessly lost. "Oh bullocks! Where am I?" He decided the best thing to do was call for the Knight Bus. Draco placed his wand arm in the air, and within seconds heard a loud POP. He jumped out of the way to keep from being run over. As the doors opened, Draco found himself looking into the face of Stan Shunpike. Having ridden the bus before, Draco waved Stan off when he started to tell him prices. "Just tell Prang to take me to." he stopped for a minute, "Malfoy Manor." Stan nodded and headed back towards the front of the bus. "Oy Ernie, Mr. Malfoy is headed to Malfoy Manor." Ernie grunted and changed course slightly. Draco lie down on one of the hard beds, and quickly fell asleep.
"Where are we going?" Sandy asked. Harry, who still hadn't calmed down, responded with a question of his own, "Do you love me?" She was taken aback by the way he had asked the question. "Harry, why would you ask me something like that? Of course I do, how can you even think that I wouldn't?" She felt tears building in her eyes. Harry looked at Sirius questioningly. Sirius realized what Harry was about to ask and lightly shook his head no. Harry sighed, hating to lie to Sandy, but he had to think of something. "I'm sorry. I guess it's just because you never say it first." She ran her fingernails over his forehead and down to his neck. "You know I love you," she said before kissing him softly on his lips. "Wake up!" Draco groggily rolled over and tried to go back to sleep. "Wake up Mr. Malfoy! We're here!" Draco sat straight up. "Why didn't you say so?" he growled at Stan. Stan just stood there unable to say anything. Draco stalked to the front of the bus and dropped 12 sickles in Ernie's hand. "Good-bye Mr. Malfoy." Draco stalked off the bus and onto the grounds of the Manor. He stopped in front of the door muttering the spell to unlock it. He hesitated before going inside. He hadn't been here since the day his father had died. Draco mentally shook himself, then opened the door. Dust dropped down from the rafters as the door slammed shut behind him. He wasn't sure where to go, so he absentmindedly started walking towards the dungeons.
Ten minutes later they found themselves walking into a nice muggle restaurant. "Now Sirius let us do the talking." Sandra warned him. "You act like I'm going to do something wrong." He said sarcastically. The waitress showed them to a table and took their orders. "OK, I'll be right back with your drinks." She grabbed the menus and walked off. "I need to use the restroom. Excuse me." Sandra stood up. When she was out of earshot Harry turned to Sirius. "You didn't tell her?" Harry looked confused. "I didn't want her mad at me for running Malfoy off. I was afraid she'd leave." He replied. Harry nodded. "I have to tell her. I can't lie to her." Harry informed him. "I'm just so confused. Draco loved her, and I didn't think he would do that." Sirius looked confused for a moment. Sandra had comeback just as a tear escaped Harry's eyes. She rushed over to him, "Harry? Harry tell me what's wrong." "Are you h-happy with me?" he choked out. Once again, she didn't understand the questioning. "Of course I am. Harry, did you forget about this?" She showed him the huge diamond ring on her finger. "Did you forget I said yes? Now you tell me why I would marry you if I wasn't happy. I want to marry you. I want kids with you. I want my life with you. There is nothing I want without you." By then, she too had tears forming. He pulled her down to sit on his lap. They started to kiss before Sirius cut in. "Listen you two, I have to put up with this every time I turn around. I would like to eat my dinner without hearing you two moan for once." Harry shooed him off without breaking contact with his fiancé. Sirius rolled his eyes when the waitress giggled. "Can't take them anywhere without this!" He complained. Harry pulled away causing protest from Sandy. "I recall us taking you out because someone doesn't know how to cook." Sarah, their waitress, laughed causing Sirius to glare at the two lovers. "You wait until we get home, boy," he said, trying to sound serious, but even Sarah knew it was a figure of speech. Harry and Sandy went back to kissing as Sirius chatted along with Sarah. When she went back to working, he turned back to the two young lovers in front of him who still hadn't stopped kissing. Rolling his eyes, he asked, "Are you to going to eat your food or each other's faces?" Sandy giggled and moved back to her own chair after whispering, "We'll continue this when we get home," in Harry's ear.
Draco looked up to find himself in his parent's room. "How did I get here?" he wondered. Draco slowly turned in a circle as he tried to remember what the room had looked like only months before. Dust now coated everything in sight; the curtains had begun to deteriorate in the dampness. Draco sighed as he realized that he couldn't remember. He walked over towards the desk in the corner. After rummaging around for a few minutes, Draco found a piece of paper and a quill. He sat down to write a letter to Sandy, hoping that she wasn't worried about where he was. When he finished Draco called for his owl hoping that he was around somewhere nearby. A few minutes later Draco caught a flash of black and silver as Onyx perched on the edge of the desk. "Make sure that she gets this." In a flash the owl was gone, leaving Draco alone with his thoughts.
