Like Father, Like Daughter
Chapter 14: The Truth Behind Love
Summer POV
"Summer Ann Potter, will you marry me?"
"Oh my gosh." I breathed. The air was silent around me as only my thoughts of Andrew filled my head I always knew I was going to get engaged at an early age, but maybe this was too early. I mean I still had a year of school to go. Yet I loved Andrew and I knew it.
"Andrew," I continued. He looked up at me with hopeful eyes and smiled. He wanted me more than ever. I knew that much. He was finishing school. He was done with this place. He wanted to know that when I went back that he would have someone to look forward to seeing during my breaks. That while I was still here, that I knew that I still had him.
"Is that a yes?" Andrew was growing more and more impatient with each passing second. The stars above our heads twinkled in my eyes as tears soon began to fill them. Was the rest of my life really going to be with Andrew Weasley? Was I meant to be Summer Weasley and not Summer Potter? I know I had to get married one day, I just didn't expect it so soon.
"I," I tried to speak but the tears started to flow down my face. Why was it so hard for me to say yes? Why couldn't I just accept that fact that my future was in Andrew and that he and I were perfect for each other?
On the other hand I could skip my last year. With the money I'll win from the tournament I could begin a family of my own without having to worry about anything. I could become a famous Quidditch player and everything will be perfect.
"Of course I will." I answered through my tears. Andrew's smile grew wider as he slipped the ring onto my finger. Everything became perfect as he stood up and took me into his arms. Warmth filled my entire body on the rooftops. This was turning out to be the best year ever.
The next day we woke up and found ourselves visiting the town of Hogsmeade. The streets were paved with snow and icicles hung off rooftops. People were hustling about with there daily routines. We must have been the only two students there. We walked down the streets wrapped in our coats and scarf's as we went from store to store.
We went through Honeydukes and browsed throughout sweets and chocolates. Andrew and I kept feeding each other free samples off shelves and kept on laughing and giggling to each other. We were the perfect couple laughing and enjoying Boxing Day together.
After that, we went to a small accessory store down the street from Honeydukes. We looked through rows of necklaces, scarf's, beanies, bracelets, and rings.
"How did you get my ring?" I asked flashing my engagement ring
"I ordered it especially for you my princess." Andrew answered honestly.
I smiled back to him as I looked at a row of silver necklaces. I finally found one that looked perfect.
It was a silver necklace with a dragon pendant on it. It looked just like the one I defeated in the first task. The dragon was bent down and was about ready to breath out fire. I picked it up and traced it with my fingers.
"That's pretty." Andrew said over my shoulder.
"I know, it's kind of weird how like you could be terrified of it at the time but then look back at it and say that it was cool." I remarked.
"You should get it, or better yet, I should get it for you." Andrew said snatching it out of my hand.
"No Andrew!" I said after him, but he was already halfway to the register. "You already got me a ring, I don't need the necklace, and I can just get it myself." I said after him.
But it was too late as Andrew paid for the necklace. He came back and put it around my neck. "Your mean!" I said at him.
"How does that work out?" Andrew asked.
"Because you HAVE to spoil me. This ring probably cost you a lot of money! And now you're off getting me necklace's for no reason." I said.
"But I do have a reason." Andrew said leading me out of the shop.
"What would that be?" I asked.
Andrew bent down and kissed me quick and lightly on the lips. "Because I love you."
My parents were coming back with Matthew and Michelle for the Alumni dance they were having and of course my parent's couldn't say no. Andrew and I decided that it would be the perfect time to tell them.
Andrew and I waited at the stairs to the castle as the carriages began coming up to the castle. Soon enough Matt came out of one followed by Michelle, then Mom and Dad. My parents came rushing up to us with open arms. "Summer!" my mom squealed as she saw me.
The first thing that caught my eyes was that she was wearing baggy clothes and she looked bigger than when I last saw her. After that my Dad hugged me as well.
"Mom," I began, as I looked her over again.
"Oh, I haven't told you yet have I?" My Mom asked.
"Why no you haven't." I said sarcastically.
"You're going to have a new baby sister!" Mom said excitedly.
"Wow Mum, that's fantastic!" I replied to her.
"I know it is, but never mind that, you said you had something you wanted to tell us." Mom smiled back.
I took a deep breath. "Well, I guess I better tell you now or never." I breathed out.
"Common Summer, just tell us." Dad said.
Andrew stood close to me. "Well," He began for me.
"Were getting married!" I smiled at them.
My Mom's face lit up like a firework, however my father just stood there.
"I knew you were going to ask her on Christmas. He asked us months ago if he could have your hand in marriage." Mom went on as she hugged me again. "I'm so happy for you guys!"
"Dad?" I asked as I looked up at my father. He looked down at me with concern in his eyes.
He put his hand on my shoulder. "I knew this would come one day and I am just happy that you found yourself a good guy Sum." Dad bent down and embraced me in a hug.
"I guess my little girl is finally growing up." He said in my ear.
Sorry this chapter is so short but I thought it would be a short and sweet one. But I carry unfortunate news with me…
Friday the twenty seventh of January marked the end of my relationship with Patrick. In basic terms he broke up with me. At first I was heartbroken, all the dumped feelings running through me and I couldn't stop crying.
Fortunately for me I have the best of friends that were there to support me as I realize that I can live my life without having to think about him and I can go through my days without his sorry ass.

Okay some announcements:
NEW STORY! It's called A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes; It's like a Harry Potter Cinderella story. I like it and I like the idea for it so if you like my writing then you should check out that story because that's going to be my main fanfiction story once this is over.
This is the last story in my Mr. And Mrs. Potter Trilogy. No MORE! So please don't ask. There will be from 5 – 7 more chapters in this story and then I'm done.
