Jade didn't want her brother to feel defeated. He knew Ron was still bitter over her leaving with Draco whom he hated with his heart and soul. But she felt surprised yet proud of the way Draco calmly explained himself to Ron. She looked around to see everyone give Draco an admiring look, agreeing to every word he had said. She also listened to him feeling inspired by him. However she felt as if there was something missing with everything he was saying and the way he had been acting lately.

To regret while you're dying is one thing, to regret when that person had died is a completely different thing. It changes your life.

Was that why he changed? Who had died for him to realize that nothing was to be taken for granted? Everyone was silent and Ron turned red.

"And it's not like any of us tried to find Jade and apologize ourselves for what happened. It's embarrassing to see that none of our family members including myself never brought back the sister we always loved; instead we needed someone else to do the job for us. If anyone needs to be questioned Ron, it should be us." Ginny said looking at her side to acknowledge Ron.

"Let's not talk about this anymore please." Jade said.

"Stop stressing her, Jade do you need to rest?" Molly asked and Jade shook her head.

"No thanks Mum. I'm not sleepy." Jade said. "Well then you must be hungry. I made your favorites for dinner sweetheart so freshen up and come downstairs to eat." Molly said kissing Jade's forehead and leaving.

"Let her at least wash up! Move over you old heavy men." Molly grumbled. Jade went to the bathroom, washed up and got out to meet with her brothers and their wives. Bill introduced Fleur to Jade and their two daughters Victoire and Dominique Weasley and their youngest son, Louis Weasley. Jade took Louis in her arms and played with him, seeing him laugh uncontrollably when she made silly faces.

"Oh my goodness they're so big! Hello Victoire! I saw you when you were only 2 years old." She said looking at the 8 year old in amazement. She blushed and had her hands folded behind her as Jade hugged her.

"She looks so much like you Fleur." Jade said seeing Fleur smile. Jade turned to Dominique and touched her hand. "And you must be Dominique." She said seeing Dominique nod.

"And you have to be my Aunty Jade. My Daddy always told me about you and showed me pictures." She said excited to finally meet her Aunt.

"Did he really? I wish I had a picture of you to look at before I met you." Jade said.

"No need Aunty Jade. We'll take pictures from now on. Say Sugar Quills!" Dominique said flashing a camera and taking a picture of Jade.

"Sorry Jhayde," Fleur said in her thick French accent. "She juzz likes to take lots of pictures!" Fleur purred.

"It's all right. I hope I didn't break your camera." Jade said as Dominique giggled.

"Jade this is Roxanne and Arthur. Roxanne, Arthur, meet your Aunt Jade and Uncle Draco." George said as Roxanne and Arthur hugged Jade and Draco.

"If you're our Aunt and Uncle, why didn't we see you before?" Roxanne asked innocently, sitting on Jade's lap.

"Well, we simply never kept in touch." Jade answered her, touching her cheek.

"Didn't you love us?" Arthur asked innocently, looking at Draco with his chocolate brown eyes.

"Sweetheart we love you so much, even if we were far apart, we'd love you as much as we do now." Jade told him. Jade and Draco was then introduced to James and Albus, Harry and Ginny's children.

"We have another one on the way." Harry said pointing to Ginny who wasn't showing yet. Ginny smiled and brushed her hand across her stomach.

"Just found out a week ago. I'm due in July." She said.

"Hm, another prophecy in the making?" Draco joked seeing the flash of horror come across Harry's eyes.

"Let's hope not." Harry said shaking his head.

"How have you both been?" Jade asked letting go of Albus who squirmed and squealed in Jade's arms. He ran off with his other cousins and James stood there, watching Jade and Draco curiously in Harry's arms.

"With kids, it feels like I want to escape. Every day you're dealing with new situations, it's absolutely mad but we've been great for the most part." Ginny said taking a seat next to Jade.

"But there hasn't been one day when I never thought of you. I always wondered how you were, wondered about my niece or nephews and tried to think of how they would look like between you and Mal-I mean Draco." Ginny said. Jade and Draco met eyes and they both looked away, looking unhappy.

"You don't have children. They don't have children, do they?" Harry asked and Jade shook her head.

"We don't." she said, hoping that they wouldn't ask why. Ron looked like he was about to ask why but thought for the better of it.

"Dinner! Everyone come downstairs and bring Jade and Draco!" Molly called from downstairs.

"Come on, let's go. Hello Rose." Jade said picking up the 2 year old toddler.

"Hi." She squeaked. She had bushy brown hair that was pulled into a half ponytail. She had brown sparkling eyes and looked much like Hermione. They all walked downstairs and Jade sat down on her seat with Draco sitting right next to her. The entire family spoke to each other, filling each other in on what happened during the 6 years that Jade missed.

They told each other hilarious stories between each other and their kids who were known to be the funniest people in the household. Jade sensed that Draco was somewhat uncomfortable in such a loud and carefree environment. Everyone loved each other and expressed it so differently, it was giving him uncertainty to what he would say or act. Jade held on to his hand and asked him if he was all right.

"I'm fine." He smiled, brushing her cheek with his thumb.

"You don't know how badly I want to thank you for giving me my family back. I don't know what to say or do to repay what you've done for me." Jade told him, holding on to his hand tighter.

"You can do a lot of things for me actually." He winked.

Jade widened her eyes and gasped, smacking him lightly on his chest. He grinned and she giggled back hoping that no one heard.

"You can do something else." He said his voice taking a serious tone.

"What is that?" she asked.

"Don't ever think you need to repay me back. This is your family that I've taken away from you. I want you to be happy Jade and I want you to keep that. Don't return it to me…enjoy it." He told her. Jade lifted her hand and touched his face, loving that he was so considerate to her feelings.

"I love you." he told her.

Another sweet move by him that Jade seemed to melt from. "I love you too." She said.

He leaned forward and kissed her. Jade wished that she was upstairs with him, alone but felt him pull back knowing that everyone was watching.

"So how's it like being married to a Weasley?" Fred asked suddenly pulling Draco into a conversation with the entire family. Fred's girlfriend Katie Bell slapped his arm from being rude. Draco nervously moved his forked between his fingers, looking at the Weasley men who were curiously watching him.

"Fred stop being rude." Molly warned.

"Aw Mum it's not rude. It was just an honest question." Fred said nodding at Draco.

"I love it, she cooks like Molly, she fights like Ron, she speaks like Arthur but I can swear she thinks like you Fred and George but she loves like all of you combined. I'm telling you my marriage to her is probably the best immature and impulsive teenage decision I've ever made in my life." Draco said setting down his fork.

The Weasley men roared in laughter and the women giggled watching Jade who joined in on the laughter.

"So who cooks better? Mum or Jade?" George asked. Everyone quieted and Draco looked at Jade who shrugged.

"I see…I'm in the hot seat tonight. Well truthfully speaking, I think I cook better. I don't think anyone can burn water like I can." He said charmingly. Harry, Ron and Fred who were drinking while he had said that, suffered as they coughed violently and laughed along with everyone else. Draco smiled and found himself chuckling along with the rest of the family, feeling much more comfortable than when he had came in.

He also felt relieved from the stress he had been dealing with for the past couple of days and the icy front he had put on in front of Jade and everyone in his life to be distant with, that was falling apart as well. He never imagined himself being so free and comfortable with the Weasley's, joking over his horrible cooking habits.

"So you married a woman that cooks like Mum but you couldn't learn a single dish? There must be at least something you can cook without burning it." Hermione said.

Draco looked her way and then at Jade. They both knew the answer to that. "Well of course I learned something over the past 6 years without burning." Draco said seeing everyone nod.

"So does that mean you'll make it for us?" Katie asked.

"Of course I will. Just tell me when you want me to make it and I'll have it ready." Draco said.

Ron snorted. "I'm scared to even ask." Ron said.

"What is it that you can make dear? Maybe we'll have it tomorrow?" Molly suggested as everyone agreed.

"You don't want to know." Jade said shaking her head. Draco knocked his arm with hers but everyone started to ask what it was.

"Homemade water." Draco answered.

When dinner was over, Jade helped clean up as Draco went into the living room with the Weasley men. Jade chatted away with the women of the household and listened to how much they actually loved Draco to be a part of the family.

"You are very lucky to have such a handsome man az your huzband." Fleur said seeing Jade smile and thank her.

"He's so much nicer than in Hogwarts." Katie said helping put back the plates.

"It must be so great to be with him every single day, especially when you don't have any children to bother you." Angelina said seeing Jade nod unconvincingly.

She knew that they had no idea what they had gone through for all these years that just a couple of days ago he had completely changed. Jade knew she should just get over it and accept his change of heart but she couldn't help but feel unsettling and suspicious of such a drastic change. The same man who kept her from her family and always rolled his eyes and avoided discussions about family, friends or children was the same man that was carrying around her nieces and nephews, asking their names, getting to know them, charming and befriending her family, the Weasley's.
