Like Father, Like Daughter

Chapter 16: This Means So Much More

Summer POV

Months passed and it meant that I had to prepare for the tournament yet again. The night of March 18th, I went down to the Quidditch Pitch all alone. Upon arriving I saw that Samantha and James were already there along with my Dad, Dumbledore, the other headmasters and Miss Chang.

"About time you made it missy." Miss Chang hollered at me.

I ignored the comment as I made my way around the circle. We all gathered around in a circle as the champions faced the adults.

"Well, now that your all here I want to tell you what the final task is going to be." My Dad started. He re-wrapped his cloak around his body as he went on. "On May 21st you will report down to the stadium where the tasks have always been at 3 p.m. Your task will be the most difficult so far. Each of you will be put in a real life situation and be facing against fully-grown wizards that will show no mercy on you. They will use any spell necessary to defend themselves and defend the cup. The person who reaches the cup in the fastest time will win. The ending ceremony will be on June 3rd before you all depart home for your summer holidays."

Fully grown wizards? But wasn't that illegal? I know I could probably do this easily but in a time matter of fashion I knew it would be impossible.

"Just a reminder to you James and Samantha since this is your last year of school, many ministry members will be here looking at your performance as well as members of the Quidditch League. This would be the perfect time to be noticed." Miss Chang pointed out.

Perfect.

After we were dismissed I stayed back with my Dad, shivering with fear of what the news of an August wedding would bring to his ears.

"What's up Summer?" Dad asked me once everyone else had gone.

"Oh nothing Dad. I just wanted to let you know some things about the wedding." I began with a deep breath, not looking up at him.

"Well, I shouldn't be worried since it won't be for a while." Dad stated back at me.

That's what you think.

"Well, actually Dad, Andrew and I have been talking about weddings and well. We've decided on a date for the big day."

"Really?"

"Yeah, and were talking about an August wedding."

"Really, next August?"

"No Dad! This August. August 21st, this year." I replied back finally looking up at him.

He remained silent for a while, thinking to himself. "But you won't be out of school yet."

"Yes I will. Dad, I'm going to go back to Hogwarts for my 7th year. It's pointless and if the last task goes well I'm going to win all that money for Andrew and I to begin our own lives and we won't have to worry about anything. I'll go into the Quidditch League and him and I will live together."

Dad's face began to drop to a pale color. "Summer honey, you old enough to realize that these are great dreams and all but,"

"But what Dad? You said yourself that I am a great Quidditch player and that I could do whatever I wanted to if I put my mind to it. I am going to win this tournament and Andrew and I are getting married in August. All I want is your blessing." I replied.

Dad stood silent. "I can't think about this now. Your mother is back home in pain due to the new baby. I'm hoping it will come when it's expected so I don't have to miss the third task. I'll send you an owl later this week."

And with that he turned around and made his way out of the campus.

I walked back up to the castle alone with my hands in my pocket. I silently then made my way up to the seventh floor disappointed in my Dad. I didn't want him to be mad at me yet I wanted him to be okay with that fact that Andrew and I were in love and that we were getting married in August?

Andrew told me that once I was done I was to meet him in the Room of Requirement. We were going over wedding plans in there in order to avoid the on looking Gryffindors that were all hoping for an invitation. Apparently word got out of our engagement and the whole castle was treating this as though it were a royal wedding. They all wanted to watch as Princess Summer Potter was wed off to Sir Andrew Weasley.

I opened the door and instead of finding the fireplace and the wedding catalogs I saw all that Andrew had redecorated the place and there was a small fire glow in the room followed by dozens of scented candles and on the floor by the fire there were a lot of body pillows that were covered in red rose petals. The whole room had a romantic glow to it.

"Andy." I breathed.

"Hey baby." Andrew cooed as he came over to me. He closed the door behind me and then gently kissed me on my lips. "How did your father take the news?"

"Well, he sort of just stood there. He said he really couldn't talk much longer because of my Mum and the whole baby thing. He said he would send an owl soon though." I replied.

"Really? I thought he would have locked you in Potter Palace until you were old and shivered. You would be in the tower and you'd release your hair down to me and I would save you just like in Rapunzel." Andrew dreamed off.

"I could never do that. One that would hurt and two, do you realize how frizzy her hair is?" I asked.

Andrew just smiled down at me and kissed me yet again when he cupped my face in his hands. I kissed him back and the kiss suddenly deepened.

We pulled apart to catch our breath. I looked up into his eyes and he looked down into mine. It only finally hit me right there. The night of the Yule Ball Andrew had set it up for us to actually go all the way that night but because of my messed up family we couldn't. Andrew and I had never actually gone that far but have only come close.

"Andy" I cooed.

"Mmm?" He moaned back.

"I know we actually haven't talked about it but, do you ever think about us, you know, going all the way?" I asked. I loved Andrew and I knew I would eventually lose my virginity to him, just never had the perfect opportunity.

"Yeah. Why do you think I set the place up?" Andrew asked.

"Because your sweet and caring like that." I answered with a smiled.

Andrew smiled back down at me and then picked me up in his arms like he always did when we would play around by the lakeside. He carried me over to the body pillows and laid my softly on one of them. They he got on top of me himself. He smiled at me before he began kissing my neck softly.

"Andy." I breathed out.

Andrew stopped what he was doing and looked down into my eyes. "Yeah?" he asked.

"I love you." I replied meaning it with all my heart.

Andrew smiled back down at me. "I love you more than anything else in the world." He kissed my lips gently and then more and more passionately. His hands were furiously working at my robe and he peeled it off my body, followed by my shirt. Throughout the entire time we never stopped kissing. Like an unending kiss that could never be broken because it held all our love in it.

My future husband and I took each other's souls into the night that night and it was just as perfect and magically as everyone claims that it is. I think what made is so perfect was that I was complete and total love with my Andrew and I knew he loved me even more back.

I guess there's always a first time for everything, but this one is always the best.
