Gabrielle awoke the morning after to kisses and a warm, comfortable embrace. She turned over onto her side to face Ron as he kissed her head again. His arm was wrapped around her, and they were facing each other, smiling in the room only lit by the rising sun. Ron went in for another kiss and she met his lips with hers, he pulled her in closer and she put her arm around him too. When they broke the kiss, Ron spoke.

"Morning," he said very softly, "Fleur told me to wake you up so you don't sleep the whole day."

"Zhat, vas very considerate of 'er," Gabrielle joked, and then teased "Did she also tell you to kiss me until I voke up?"

"No, that was my idea" Ron answered.

"And zis is my idea" Gabrielle said as she moved her lips back to his.

This kiss was interrupted by a knock on the door and Bill's voice.

"Fleur says if you don't come down now, she won't give either of you breakfast."

Very gradually, Ron and Gabrielle slumped out of bed, pulled some clothes on and walked down the stairs. Fleur gestured for them to sit, and once seated they were served eggs, toast, and bacon. There was a long silence while the two of them ate their food, and Fleur stood there studying them for a clue of what happened the night prior.

"Ze two of you 'ave fun?" She finally asked breaking the silence.

"Yes, we had steak for dinner, and ice cream after. Zhen Ron bought me flowers." She told Fleur.

"Anything else?" Fleur pushed further.

"That about sums it up" Ron chimed in, just finishing his plate and adding "You make very good eggs. Thanks for breakfast."

"You are velcome Ronald" Fleur replied, finally giving up on what else had happened.

"Come by anytime" Bill told Ron.

Ron waved goodbye, kissed Gabrielle goodbye and apparated back to The Burrow.

The second he was gone, Fleur grabbed Gabrielle and hugged her.

"I am so proud of you" Fleur said with joy in her voice, "Finally you have found someone who makes you happy, someone you will be happy to marry."

"Well I don't know if you're quite there yet" Bill cut in, "You see Ron's a bit of a prat at times, and—"

Fleur cut him off, by putting a finger over his mouth, and he got the message. The three spent the next little while conversing about Gabrielle's first big date with someone she wanted to be with, and not some random students who fancied her.

They finished their talking, as a loud crack was heard, followed by a knock on the door. They were all happy to see Molly Weasley standing there with a box of homemade cookies.

"Ello Mrs. Weasley" Fleur said cheerfully, "What brings you 'ere?"

"I just brought some cookies over for my new future daughter-in-law" She said gesturing at Gabrielle.

"Zhey only vent on one date though" Fleur sounded confused.

"He's only been talking about her since he got home, and a mother can tell, she's a keeper" She said again pointing at Gabrielle, who was blushing slightly.

Molly then handed Gabrielle the basket waved goodbye and left, leaving a very surprised pair of Delacour sisters. Bill came up behind them and tapped Gabrielle's shoulder.

"She likes you" Bill said with a grin.

Gabrielle who still hadn't quite realized what had just happened, walked inside and set the cookies down on table. She went to bed that night dreaming about her future with Ron.

In her dream, she was in bed with Ron snuggled up together on the verge of sleep. Suddenly a dark figure came through the door and killed Ron, leaving Gabrielle crying over his dead body. She woke up, and immediately glanced over to see if Ron was there. He wasn't. She breathed a sigh of relief and went to get a drink of water. She was still worried about Ron, so she sent her owl with a letter.

Ron,

I can't sleep, and I had a nightmare. I want to make sure you're okay, and if you're awake, please come over.

Love Gabrielle

She didn't expect him to respond, but only a moment later her own owl came back carrying a note.

Gabrielle

I was also awake, I'm fine don't worry. I'll be over in just a moment.

Love Ron

She ran down to the door right as Ron knocked. She opened it and flung herself into Ron's arms, wrapping her legs around him and holding him tight. He held her in this position for a while, as she still held tightly onto him. Eventually she loosened her grip and he set her down so she was standing in front of him.

Not a single word was spoken, as the two made their way to the living room, Gabrielle didn't want to go back upstairs as her room is where her nightmare happened. They laid down on the couch, Gabrielle still holding Ron's arm, which he wrapped around her. She pressed herself so close to him that there was no space between their bodies. Gabrielle happily drifted back into sleep, feeling much that both she and Ron were safe together.
