"Yes, yes, Harry, I know. We will be there soon. I just need to find my shoes." I said impatiently into the phone as I scrambled around the house looking for my shoes. I had been looking for them for about ten minutes now without any luck. One of the problems was that this house was just so big. I couldn't find anything in this house. When I had first moved here, I had been so lost and got lost just on my way to the bathroom.

I could practically hear Harry rolling his eyes on the other end of the line. "Bells, you're a witch. Why don't you just use magic to find your shoes?"

My mouth popped open. I hadn't even thought of that. I was such an idiot. Harry was never going to let me live this down.

I heard Harry laughing on the other end of the line when I didn't say anything. I grumbled into the phone as I pulled my wand out. "Accio shoes!" I called out clearly and watched as my shoes came soaring into the room. Why hadn't I thought of this ten minutes ago?

"You completely forgot about using magic didn't you?" Harry asked, amusement apparent in his voice. He seemed to find some kind of joy in my pain. Brothers could be so cruel sometimes. Honestly, sometimes I wished that I was an only child. Well, technically I was, but that wasn't important right now.

"No," I said defensively. "Of course I didn't forget. What kind of idiot would forget something like that?"

Harry was full out laughing now, unable to control himself. "Apparently you."

I glared, even though I knew that he couldn't see it through the phone. "We will be there soon. Bye," I said curtly before hanging up on him, cutting him off mid laugh. I loved Harry to death, but sometimes I wished that he would disappear to some far away country for a very long time, possibly a country without phone service.

I sighed and glanced around, a faint smile appearing on my lips. I had been living here for about five months now, and I still couldn't wrap my head around the fact that this was now my home and that I shared it with Draco. Everything was just so perfect, it was like a dream. An amazing dream that never ended. It was the most amazing feeling waking up to Draco every single morning and knowing that I could do that forever.

I remembered the day he had first brought me here. He had been so nervous about my reaction toward the house, it was so cute, but I had absolutely loved it. It was impossible not to. This house was gorgeous and we didn't even use half of the rooms that were in it. It was more like a mansion than a house, but, hey, I wasn't going to complain.

The house was a huge mansion that had over fifteen bedrooms and seven bathrooms. It also included a beautiful kitchen that I immensely enjoyed cooking in. There was a large dining room where Draco and I only ate in when we had guests. Most of the time we would eat in the giant and stunning living room or in our bedroom.

The grounds were all green with various types of flowers and plants, and a small creek running through the property. There was also a pool outside in the back. My eyes had nearly popped out of my head when I saw that for the first time. I laughed quietly to myself as I recalled pushing Draco into the water for laughing at me. Let's just say that he wasn't laughing any more after that. He had been a little angry at first, but got over it and forgiven me after he got his revenge by pulling me down into the pool with him.

Some other fun things that our house included were a basketball court, some batting cages, and even a mini movie theatre. When I had first come here, I was shocked that Lucius and Narcissa had given this place up, but they assured me that it was alright, and once I saw their house, which was ten time bigger than this, I finally understood how they could so easily give this house up, however, I liked this house much better. I didn't need all of that space. I didn't even need everything that this house had. I could live in a shack and be happy as long as Draco was with me.

Tonight we were all having a picnic to celebrate the five month anniversary of Voldemort's death. Harry, Hermione, Ron, Ginny, Mr. and Mrs. Weasley, Fred and George, Lily, James, Lucius, Narcissa, Draco, and I were all going to go and I couldn't wait to see them all again. I had been extremely busy in the auror office for the past two weeks and I hadn't had much time to see anyone. So I was thrilled to be able to relax and catch up with everyone, and it would be the first time in awhile that we would all be together with everyone present.

After Voldemort had been defeated, and I graduated from Hogwarts, I became an auror along with Harry and Ron. Draco took over his father's business and Hermione became an editor for the Daily Prophet, making sure to publish only the truth.

Draco had been absolutely perfect ever since the whole incident with Voldemort. He had been with me throughout my recovery and had encouraged me and comforted me every step of the way. Sometimes I honestly didn't know how I would survive without him. He was my rock and the person that kept me going day after day. I didn't know what I had done to deserve him. He was way too good for me, but of course whenever I told him that, he would claim that I had it backwards.

We still had our occasional silly fights, but we were always able to get past them and move on. When I had first moved in with him, I was a little nervous because I was afraid that he wouldn't like me anymore when he discovered my weird tendencies or if I discovered strange things that he did, but thankfully Draco accepted mine, telling me that they were cute, which I didn't understand at all, and Draco didn't really have any, to which I was relieved, but even if he did, I would have loved him all the same.

I looked around the room, coming back to reality, and smiled as I recalled all of the wonderful times that Draco and I had had together in this house. Every single moment that I was with him was like heaven. He could brighten my day just be simply being here.

I slipped my shoes on and then went into the bathroom to run a brush through my hair and put on a little bit of makeup. Hermione would kill me if I showed up looking like a slob, which she kindly pointed out that I looked like most of the time. Hey, it wasn't my fault that I had a job that wasn't about glamour and that I spent most of my time in dirty places, hunting down criminals.

"You don't need any of that," I heard a voice say from the doorway. "You look absolutely perfect just the way you are."

I turned around, a huge smile on my face. Draco was leaning against the wall with his arms crossed over his chest and a smile gracing his lips. He looked so amazing that I had to fight the urge to run over there and start kissing him. If that happened, we would never make it to the picnic. We were already late enough thanks to my shoe fiasco.

"Why thank you," I responded, moving slowly over to Draco and smiling as I saw him watching my every move. "You don't look too bad yourself."

He smirked at me, but didn't say anything. He just wordlessly held out his hand, and I took it, kissing him briefly on the lips before allowing him to lead me out of the room.

He led me to the living room, where the fire place was. Stepping into it, we both grabbed a handful of Floo Powder, shouted out our destination and were immediately engulfed in the green flames. A few seconds later, we were at the park that we would meet the others at.

"About time," I heard Harry say before coming over to greet us. I rolled my eyes. He was so impatient. Well, he probably picked that up from me.

Draco stood up and then held out his hand to help me up. I gratefully took it and smiled at him in thanks. He returned my smile, but only half heartedly. I stared at him in concern, wondering what could possibly be bothering him. He had been a little distant the last few days and I couldn't help but worry about what was wrong, but whenever I asked him he would just shake his head and tell me that everything was fine and I shouldn't worry about it.

I cast those thoughts out of my head. Today was supposed to be a fun, relaxing day and I wasn't going to let my worries get in the way of it. There would be plenty of time to stress about it later.

Harry came over and enveloped me in a huge bear hug. "I missed you Bells. How have you been doing?"

"I've been good," I replied. "How about you? How's married life?" I asked, winking at him, which caused him to roll his eyes at me.

Harry and Ginny had gotten married about three weeks ago and had just returned from their honeymoon a few days ago. Their wedding had been amazing and Ginny looked absolutely beautiful. Hermione and I had been the maids of honor and had helped Ginny with all of the plans along with Mrs. Weasley. It had been a lot of fun, and I hoped that I would get to do it again. I had even jokingly told Ron that he should just pop the question to Hermione already. He had laughed and said, "Don't worry Bells, I will. Just be patient."

"It's great," Harry said in reply to my question before glancing over at Draco and saying, "When's it going to be you're turn? I've already got my speech for the reception party ready. Don't worry Bells, it's not too embarrassing." He paused for a second. "Wait, never mind. It is that bad."

I laughed and pushed him away. "Oh shut up Harry. I didn't humiliate you at your wedding so you shouldn't do that at mine."

Before Harry could reply, Ginny came running over and tackled me in a hug. "Bella! I have missed you so much! How have you been?"

I laughed. "I've been great Ginny. How was the honeymoon? Most couples say it was the time of their life, but with Harry you never know," I said, glancing slyly over at Harry who glared at me in return.

Ginny giggled. "It was perfect!" She squealed in excitement. "Come over here. I was just telling Hermione about it." I waved goodbye to Draco and Harry while Ginny pulled me away, talking the whole way.

She told me almost every single detail about her honeymoon with Harry, thankfully sparing me of the gory details. After all, he was still my brother. They had gone to the Bahamas and had stayed in a wonderful five star hotel. The whole thing sounded so perfect and I couldn't wait until it was my turn.

Apparently Hermione was having the exact same thoughts because she said, "Bells, when's it going to be you and Draco's turn up at the altar. You two have been dating forever."

I sighed. "I honestly don't know. We've never really talked about it." It was true. Draco and I had been dating for a long time, but we had never really discussed marriage.

"Do I need to have a talk with him and guide him in the right direction?" Hermione suggested, grinning.

I shook my head, laughing at her. "No thanks. He'll ask me when he's ready."

"Well, if he were to ask you, what would you say?" Ginny asked, staring at me intently. I looked over at Hermione and noticed that she had the exact same expression on her face.

I smiled. "I would say yes," I said and both Hermione and Ginny started squealing and jumping up and down until I quieted them down and continued. "I love him so much and I am definitely ready to marry him."

"This is so great!" Hermione cried out excitedly. "I cannot wait until you're wedding."

Laughing, I said, "Calm down, Hermione. He has to ask me first."

Hermione and Ginny exchanged glances and I looked between them curiously, wondering what was up between them and what they were keeping from me.

"What?" I asked suspiciously.

"Nothing," they chorused together, causing my eyes to narrow, but before I could question them, Harry called out, "Food's ready!" Hermione and Ginny looked relieved and quickly walked away.

"Is everything alright?" Draco asked, coming up behind me and putting his arm around my waist.

"They're keeping something from me. I can tell."

Draco laughed, looking a bit nervous and I turned to stare him down. "You know what they're hiding from me, don't you?"

"Maybe," he replied, refusing to meet my eyes.

"What is it?" I asked, giving him a soft kiss, hoping to distract him.

Draco grinned down at me once I pulled away. "I know what you're trying to do and it's not going to work."

I looked up at him innocently, but I don't think he was falling for it. He knew me too well. "I'm not trying to do anything, Draco. What are you talking about?"

"Not a chance, Bella," Draco said in amusement.

I pouted. "Fine. Don't tell me," I said, walking away, but Draco pulled me back to him and wrapped his arms around me.

"You will find out soon enough my impatient Bella," Draco said, kissing the top of my head.

I was just about to respond to his comment when Harry yelled out, "Bella, Draco, get over here before I have to come over there and hose you two down!"

I laughed. Oh Harry. What would I do without him? "Coming!" I called, grabbing Draco's hand and leading him over to the table's where everyone was gathered and had already started eating.

"Thanks for waiting for us," I said, shooting them all a look, which only caused them to laugh.

"Well, you shouldn't have taken so long to come," Ron said. "I would have waited for you," he continued. "But you know how much I love food, Bells. I love you too, but you will always come second to my first true love."

I laughed. "What place is Hermione in?" I asked, raising an eyebrow while Hermione turned to look over at her boyfriend with a stern expression on her face.

He saw her look and started stuttering. "I-I m-mean Hermione is first of course!" He said, causing everyone to laugh at him, including Hermione. "Sorry Bells, but you just dropped to third."

I placed my hand over my heart dramatically and said in a fake hurt voice, "Oh, Ron, I thought you loved me? What happened?"

Ron chuckled. "Sorry Bella, Hermione will always come before you. If you want someone to love on you, go talk to Draco."

I glared at him and he just smiled back at me innocently while everyone else laughed at our banter. Draco and I got our food and then sat down across from Harry and Ginny, who were talking quietly to each other. They were so cute together, and I was so glad that Harry had found somebody. I had never seen him so happy.

The rest of the evening went along really well. We talked to each other, ate, and had a lot of fun. It was great and I was really enjoying myself. I was currently talking to Harry when suddenly Draco came up to me and asked if I would like to go on a walk with him. I agreed and said goodbye to Harry, who winked and told us to have fun. He definitely knew something that he wasn't telling me.

Draco grabbed my hand and led me away from everybody. We walked around, talking about random things for a little while until Draco stopped and said nervously, "Bella, I have something to ask you."

I smiled up at him, telling him to go ahead.

He pulled something out of his pocket and then got down on one knee, causing me to gasp. Oh my gosh. Draco was actually going to propose to me! That was the big secret that everyone had been hiding from me. No wonder Hermione and Ginny had started jumping up and down like crazy people when I told them that I would say yes if Draco ever asked me to marry him. They knew he was going to ask me today.

He cleared his throat anxiously. "Isabella Snape, I love you with all of my heart and I promise to love you until the day I die. You are the most beautiful, kind, compassionate, amazing woman that I have ever met and I would like to spend the rest of my life with you. Will you do me the honor of becoming my wife?"

My eyes started watering as I gazed down at Draco, who was smiling up at me. "Yes," I whispered. "Of course I'll marry you."

A huge grin broke out across Draco's face and he stood up, pulling me into his arms and spinning me around. "Thank you Bella. You've just made me the happiest man on earth."

"I love you Draco," I said, gazing into his eyes, the eyes that I loved so much.

"I love you too," he whispered before leaning down and kissing me with so much passion that the whole world around us could have burst into flames and I probably wouldn't even have noticed it. I kissed him back, trying to convey to him all of the love and happiness that I was feeling.

We broke apart when we heard cheering coming from behind us. We spun around and saw our friends and family with huge grins on their faces. They ran over to us and started hugging and kissing us telling us how happy they were for us and how it was about time. I laughed and thought about how lucky I was to have all of these amazing people in my life.

I gazed at Draco who was smiling and talking to his parents. I wished that my parents could have been here to share this moment with me, but I knew that they were watching over me, together, and that they were proud of me and everything that I had done. With that, I walked over to Draco and took his hand in mine, thinking about the new family and future that I was going to create with the love of my life, and all of my friends and family beside me every step of the way
