"George, you've got an owl. I think it's from Ginny."

"Hm… interesting…" George said as he took the parchment from her and studied it.

"Will you just open it you big dummy?"

"Ok, ok." George said as he rolled his eyes and sighed dramatically.

"Is she feeling better?" Emily asked as she stood on her tiptoes in a futile attempt to peer at the letter.

"I think she must be- she's throwing a party tonight. Says here Harry is hosting a dinner party." George laughed.

"Who all is she inviting then?" Emily smiled.

"Knowing Ginny, she's invited a fair few. Any excuse for her to dress up and impress Harry. She did of course invite the best people…"

"And who would that be?"

"Us of course. You aren't going to cry about not having anything to wear and run off shopping are you?" George asked.

"Me, shop? Ha. I'm sure I've got something that I can wear."

"Something?"

"Don't worry, I know how to dress to impress too." Emily said as she casually walked by him dragging her finger across his chin.

"Can't wait." George gulped.

"Emily, are you ever going to be ready to go some where on time?"

"I'll be ready in a minute- don't be making any tea!"

"Girls." George sighed as he plonked down once again on the sofa. He looked at his watch and sighed knowing they were definitely going to be late. He fidgeted with shirt cuffs that were already beginning to annoy him. To make matters worse his stomach was beginning to grumble.

Just as he was starting to wonder whether it was all worth it he looked up to see a smiling Emily. Her hair was partly pulled up with curls tumbling over her left shoulder. She wore a simple but elegant black dress with a delicate black shawl draped over her arms.

"Told you I knew how to dress to impress." She said as she pushed his mouth closed.

"You look… not even you could think of a word to express it."

"Thanks." She said as she pulled him to his feet. His arms quickly found their way around her waist, his lips softly brushing against hers.

"Mmm… we have to…go…to…" Emily murmured.

"Ginny's. Yeah. I know." George frowned as he pulled away.

"I'd love to stay right here with you. I'm sure it'll be fun." Emily sighed as she tilted his head to look in his eyes.

"Yeah, it will be. And then tomorrow we're going to spend the day together."

"Don't you need to go to work someday?"

"Work? What's that? You stress too much." George said as he shook his head.

"You don't stress at all."

"Better for your heart. Guess we may go then, before I change my mind."

"And mine." Emily giggled.

"Emily! George! It's so great to see you!" Ginny cried as she engulfed them both in a stretched hug.

"It's great to see you too baby sister. So let's see the new outfit then." He said as Ginny obliged with a twirl.

"It really is lovely Gin. That shade of blue really suits you."

"And it brings out Harry's eyes." Ginny giggled.

"Someone talking about me?" Harry asked as he walked over towards the small gathering at the door. He handed Ginny a drink before asking what the new guests would like.

"Looks like Ginny really does have him under her thumb." George whispered into Emily's ear as they moved away from the couple.

"Matching outfits- it's hilarious!"

"Don't mock it. Fred and I used to match all the time."

"But that's different. I bet you just dressed alike so you could confuse people and therefore create more trouble."

"Me, trouble? Never."

"You, sarcasm? Never." Emily smirked.

"Oooh. Low. I can't believe you would think such a think about me. And then to falsify my character even further with sarcasm, how can you even stand to be near me?"

"I just love a little mischief." Emily said as she waggled her eyebrows and took her boyfriend's hand and dragged him towards the table.

"Hello George." Said an older man from the table.

"Remus!" George called as he took his hand and the two men embraced.

"It's been a while, how are you keeping? How's married life been treating you?" George smiled.

"Very well. Tonks is just warming some milk for the little one. Who's your friend then?"

"Oh, sorry Remus. This is Emily. She's been staying with me a while. I met her when I went to America."

"Hello Emily. It's a pleasure to meet you." Remus smiled before secretly raising his eyebrows at George who mouthed "I'll explain later."

Both were grateful when Tonks returned to the table carefully carrying her precious bundle wrapped in pink blankets. The doting mother smiled broadly when she saw George.

"So it's a girl then?" George asked with a smile.

"Yes, she is a girl." Tonks laughed.

"George, Emily, let me introduce to you Ebony Cara Lupin." Remus announced.

"Let me guess, Tonks picked the name?"

"I picked Ebony…"

"And I picked Cara." Lupin finished as he gently took his daughter from his wife and held her against his shoulder while he tenderly rubbed her back.

"I see you've taken to fatherhood well then." George said.

"He's a natural." Tonks gushed before kissing her husband and leaving him to feed the baby.

"So Emily, how long are you planning to stay here for?" Remus inquired.

"Well George is going to be going to work in America so I think I'll leave when he leaves."

Remus smiled a knowing smile. A few moments later the silence was broken by George's grumbling stomach.

"Here- have some chocolate." Remus offered.

"Thanks."

As George began to talk to Remus Emily looked around the room. They were seated at a large mahogany table with a red wine run down the centre. Gold trimmed plates sat on cream placemats, with black ancient writing that Emily easily translated. It read "Love and magic enrich the soul and delight the heart."

Around the room Emily saw many pictures on the wall of the red headed Weasley clan at many different occasions. Each was filled with happy smiles, many waving out of the frame. A few were filled with mischievous glances and Emily could see George and Fred pranking their siblings- the funniest being Ron wearing a tutu, with his hair flashing between pink and yellow, a bellowing Mrs Weasley just in view.

Emily continued to glance round the room, looking at all the little touches that made it homely. There was a thick cream rug in front warm flickering fire, the red leather couch was covered in cream pillows, with a throw laid over the top. Side tables set on either side with lamps, and more pictures, one of which caught Emily's eye.

A picture of three young students, a girl with a boy on either side sat on the table's edge. The boys were obviously Ron and Harry- they hadn't changed much. The girl in the middle smiled and giggled as the snow gently fell around them. Emily stared at the picture, taking in every little detail. She knew that the picture was of her, but never had she seen the younger version of herself. Every time a little piece of her past was presented to her she felt a little bit of hope that everything would be right again, and yet her eyes filled with tears for the things she had lost.

"Emily, are you okay?" George asked.

"Um… yes, I'm fine. Just got a little bit of smoke in my eyes from the candles. I think I'll just go fix myself up- you know "powder my nose"."

She felt horrible for lying, and she could tell from the look on his face that he knew that her words had simply been an excuse for crying. He was concerned, but also knew when to keep his distance. Emily was glad of this, but knew that soon enough he would bring it up again.

"And so I shall say, with a twinkle in my eye… Let the feast begin!" Harry said with a wave of his wand and the table was filled with food of all different kinds.

The table was lined with many ex-Hogwarts members, and their partners- many of which had also attended Hogwarts. It seemed like old times as they grabbed for food greedily. Fred, Angelina, Bill, Fleur, Remus, Tonks and even Ron and Madeleine had accepted an invite- obviously food was a large appeal. Ron was behaving exceptionally well under the watchful eye of his girlfriend, and had only slipped up once or twice by almost calling Emily by her former name.

After the table had been cleared from all the food- the best being all the deserts- Harry stood and nervously cleared his throat.

"Can I have…" He coughed, "Your attention. Please."

Everyone turned to look at him at he tapped his glass with a teaspoon.

"I know many of you believe you're here tonight at the request of Ginny, but actually I wanted you all to be here- I just let her handle the invites." Harry said with renewed confidence. After the group's light laughter had died down the lights in the room dimmed and delicate coloured flakes began to fall down on the gathering.

Emily took one in her hand and studied it. The shimmering white heart flickered softly in the candlelight, giving off the smell of a thousand red roses.

"Ginny." Harry said as he turned to her and took her hand. His chair vanished as he bent down on one knee. "In front of all our friends I ask you, the one person in the entire world who makes me feel like… like I'm soaring through the clouds… I ask you if you'd do me the honour of becoming my wife."

"YES!" Ginny exclaimed as she tumbled down on top of him smothering him in hugs and kisses. Everyone cheered and the couple rose, with their arms around each other.

"Ginny…" Harry breathed. "You've made me… the most… well happy, I mean the happiest ever."

Ginny laughed. "How many times did you practice that proposal?"

"Merlin knows…" Harry blushed.

"Thanks."

"I love you so much."

"I love you more." Ginny smiled and before he could protest she kissed him, ignoring the wolf whistles and cat calls that filled the room.
