Full Summery: After being accused a murder right after the Tournament, Ron 'runs away' to America, hoping to start over anew. But three years later, his wife is struck by a curse that will end her life in one year. There is no cure for the curse, except a powerful potion. But no one knows how to brew it, well, except one. So leaving his wife at a famous wizard hospital in California, Ron and his two year-old Daughter go to England, where the only man who knows how to brew it lives.

You may dream!
Chase after it.
If you can convey these sincere feelings
Your dreams can come true.
You may dream!
As if the promise of an angel
Is coming true
When I see you profile in passing
My heart begins to flutter and dance
Listening to your voice as you talked,
I realized there was another "you."
I wish I had just a little bit of courage
To gaze into your eyes
You may dream!
Chase after it.
It you can convey these sincere feelings,
Your dreams can come true
You may dream!
Pure white love becomes wings,
As of the promise of an angel
Is coming true
Every time your face shines,
My heart hurts, and I close my eyes.
Heartbreak turns into tears,
Selfishly overflowing.
Without being afraid of getting hurt,
I hold my little finger out to the mirror.
You may dream!
Hold me.
Right now, I want to change
These thoughts into words: I love you!
You may dream!
Pure while love becomes wings,
As if the promise of an angel
Is coming true.
You may dream!
Chase after it.
It you can convey these sincere feelings,
Your dreams can come true
You may dream!
Pure white love becomes wings,
As of the promise of an angel
Is coming true

Chapter Seventeen: Promise of an Angel
"You are a few hours from becoming a legal wizard, Harry. How do you feel?" Ron joked in an annoyer type voice.
"Well, I feel like I'm ready to shit in my pants, you?" Harry playfully replied.
"Don't know, I'm already a legal wizard." Ron replied with a smirk on his face. He checked his watch. "Crap, I have to go to my seats. Say hi to Hermione for me." Ron waved to Harry before he darted down to the Great Hall were the ceremony was going to be held. As soon as Ron entered, he saw that the usual four tables were replaced by rows and rows of chairs, already filled by family and friends of the graduates, and were the head table once stood was a stage were the graduates would get their certificates and shake hands with Dumbledore and the Minister, also known as Ron's dad.
To make sure no one noticed him, he dyed his hair brown and covered his freckles with magic makeup. He quickly found his family, as in all the Weasleys, Layla and Amory, and Teddy, Elaine, Rick, also, Luna, Harry's girlfriend, was sitting next to Ginny, but on the opposite side of the row. "Hey." Ron greeted as he planted a kiss on Layla's cheek.
"Hey your self." Layla smiled. "Were have you been?"
"Talked to Harry." Ron replied has he looked through the graduation pamphlet. Layla nodded understandingly. Soon the ceremony began and Ron watched his two best friends graduate. 'I wonder how it would've been like if I was with them.' Ron thought as he took a quick glance at the group.
Hermione stood up to deliver her speech because she was head girl and saw Ron and thought to her self, 'I wonder how Ron felt when he graduated.'
Harry, who sat two rows behind Hermione, because it was in last name order, also wondered about Ron. 'What it have been if He was with us these past three years, and sitting a row behind me now?' he sifted in his seat and looked towards Ron. 'At least he is here now.' Harry sifted again, right before Hermione began her speech.
"These past seven years have been long, very, very long." Hermione began with a smile. "We all have been through a lot. We had many adventures, test, essays, pranks, laughs and tears to last us a lifetime. I entered this school, this world, when I was eleven years old; I had no idea what these walls had in store for me. I now leave this school, older, wiser, quiet attached to this world and I have no idea what the adult world has in store for me, no matter how many books I read." She joked, causing some to chuckle at the humor she pointed at herself.
Hermione took a deep breath before continuing. "All I know is that it's going to be one heck of a ride, just like these seven years." She paused and looked at all her friends, Harry, Ron, Luna, Draco, Neville, Ginny, Seamus, and everyone else. "Thank you, Hogwarts class of 1997, and best of luck in your future!"

"Ron, where are you taking me!" Ron led a blindfolded Layla up a flight of stairs. That night was their anniversary. There were no students in the school since they all left that morning, and Amory was in the care of the Weasleys and friends at The Borrow.
"It's a surprise!" Ron sang. Layla giggled at Ron's humor as he helped her up the steps.
"We better be done with these steps, I'm wearing heels you know." Joked Layla. She wore a beautiful moss green dress that went down to her knees. Her neck wore a platinum silver chain with a yellow diamond pendant, plus matching earrings, and her hair was curled and in a high ponytail.
Ron just smiled as he guided Layla up a few more steps, soon they stopped. Ron stepped behind Layla and undid the scarf the covered her eyes. "Oh my..." she breathed out. The two stood in the top of the Astronomy tower, which was decorated with white roses, Layla's favorite flower. At the center of the circular room was a table set for two with two vanilla scented candles and a vase of more white roses. There were some orbs of light above them to give some light in the room. The room was warm, and sometimes there was a soft breeze of wind from the windows that showed a clear starry sky.
"Like it?" Ron whispered into her ear.
"It's... beyond any words." Replied Layla was her eyes darted around the room, looking at everything. "Where are we?"
"The Astronomy Tower." Said Ron was he helped her into her seat. "The most romantic place at Hogwarts." He added as he sat himself down across from her.
"This is... is..." Layla took a final look before setting her eyes on Ron. "Quite cheesy." She smirked.
"Aw, really? That was the look I was going for!" Ron joked back.
Layla leaned over and kissed him on the lips. "But, I love It." she whispered. Ron ginned silly as the food appeared. They ate in silence until Layla asked a questioned. "Do you think we can another baby?
Ron almost choked on his wine. "What?"
"Well, I've been thinking about it. Maybe we can try, after all of this is over." She explained. "Forget it, it was kind of stupid of me to bring that up." She picked up her fork and started to eat again.
"No it wasn't." Ron said, not looking up. "Maybe we can."
"Really?" Layla looked up from her plate.
Ron shrugged. "I guess."
Layla smiled. "Great! What do you want to name it?"
"A bit to soon." Ron joked. "C'mon, love, let's talk about something else." The couple soon changed to conversation as they ate. After dinner the slowly danced and when Layla grew tired, they sat by the window, looking at the stars until she fell asleep.

"Fred! George! Stop that! Don't influence Amory!" Molly scolded her twin sons.
"Aw, but, she's a Weasley!" Fred picked up the four year-old. "And she's four now!"
"Me a big girl!" Amory exclaimed happily. "Uncle Fred and Uncle George are cool!"
"Are you sure?" Ginny joked from her spot on the floor.
"Hey! George began. "We're cool and-"
"Very SUPER!" Fred finished with a thumb up. Amory copied his gesture.
Molly just shook her head and went back into the kitchen. While Layla and Ron had their romantic dinner, everyone came to the Borrow for a huge family meal. Everyone as in the whole Weasley family, Harry, Luna, Hermione, Draco (they have finally gone public), Elaine, Rick, Teddy, Remus, Tonks, she and Remus have done a bit of dating, Sirius, and Auska, Sirius's girlfriend of three months.
"I can't wait until you go to Hogwarts." Sirius gushed at the four-year old. "Ah, all the trouble you will get into, just like your daddy." He sighed.
"No, she is going to grow up into a respectable young witch, like her mother." Remus replied. Teddy and Elaine snickered at Remus's comment. Amory was now seated at the coffee table and coloring in a coloring book.
"She could be both." Harry suggested as he leaned back into the couch as Luna cuddled him.
"Or, she might go to W.A." said Rick. Elaine nodded, so did Teddy.
"Amory's going to Hogwarts." Everyone replied to Rick's opinion.
"Well, maybe there is a huge chance that they aren't moving here, to England. They are most likely to stay in the states." Said Hermione.
"But, then she would be the first Weasley to go to a school other then Hogwarts!" Charlie exclaimed. "She gonna break the tradition!"
"Amory is also the first Wesley with brown hair in centuries." Bill pointed out.
"True." Percy said as he came into the living room. "Why does she have brown hair?"
"It could be because her mum is someone that is not white." Penelope, Percy's fiancée, said. "Layla is not white."
"Yeah. Good point." Said Tonks. "But, what if she does go to Hogwarts, what house?"
"Well, look at the four possibilities. She could be like all the Weasleys, Gryffindor, Amory is very sweet and kind, so that could mean Hufflepuff, she could be smart like Layla, so Ravenclaw is an option, but she is also very pureblood, she could also be sorted into Slytherin." Said Hermione. "Right, Draco?" She turned to her boyfriend.
"Um... sure." He shrugged, not wanting to talk, because he still felt uncomfortable with mostly everyone, not including Teddy, Elaine, and Rick, glaring at him when he spoke.
"Why are we talking about this?" Harry asked. Everyone just shrugged. Amory just sat by the coffee table, oblivious to her family's conversation.
