WC: 778

It was now time to go home for the holidays. The couple was sitting in their usual compartment. They were cuddling and stealing a kiss every now and then. They arrived at King's Cross around 6pm. They reunited with their parents and said a long goodbye.

It was a couple days later the two of them were going to visit Katie at St. Mungo's. She had been transferred to the hospital a few weeks before. Tim was waiting for

Amber.

"Mr. Tonks?" Tim asked nervously.

"What is it Tim?"

He started nervously. "I know Amber and I are still in school but do I have your blessing to ask Amber to marry me?"

"I knew this was coming from the minute I saw you two together. She's my daughter and she means the world to me."

"She means the world to me as well, I couldn't picture my life without her."

Elliot nodded. "You have my blessing."

Tim nodded as Amber walked down the stairs. Amber said goodbye to her dad and they apparated to St. Mungo's. They walked to Katie's room. She wasn't alone for sure. The whole Quidditch team was there including Lee.

"Hey Kat," Amber greeted her long time friend.

"Hey Amber," she said.

"It's nice to see you again, Amber," Lee said.

"You too," Amber said.

The group stayed with Katie for awhile. Amber and Tim soon left. They were right outside the hospital.

"Love?" Tim asked.

"Yes?"

Tim kneeled down next to her. "Amber Joyce Tonks, I've been in love with you since I was fourteen. I can't picture my life without you. Will you marry me?"

"Yes, I will."

Tim grinned, slid the ring onto her trembling finger and pulled her into a kiss.

"You want to continue this at the house, I'm sure my dad is at work and Sapphire is at Eliza's."

Tim nodded. The duo apparated back to Amber's house. They immediately went up to Amber's room. They began passionately snogging as soon as they got there and stumbled back onto Amber's bed. The couple made passionate love for the next few hours. After the love making session, they were cuddling.

"I know we're still young and in school but I'm glad you agreed to marry me."

Amber smiled at him. The couple continued cuddling and then redressed.

"Remember the author of the book 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.' ?"

Tim nodded.

Amber explained everything and he agreed to come with her to London after Christmas.

It was a couple days after Christmas now, the couple went to visit Doug and Jane. They were currently waiting for one of them to answer the door.

"Hello, Amber," Jane greeted.

"Hello Jane, it's nice to see you again."

Jane nodded. "Who's this?"

"I'm Timothy Selwyn, Amber's fiancé," Tim introduced himself as he tightened his grip on Amber's waist.

Jane nodded and invited them in. She gave them a quick tour and started some tea. The couple sat down on the couch.

"So, how long have you two been engaged?"

"About a week now," Amber grinned.

Jane handed them the tea and sat down.

"So, you said that the woman said that Sapphire doesn't look like your sister, why did she say that?"

Amber sighed. "She's not my biological sister, seeing as I was adopted in the early eighties."

"You were?"

Amber nodded and said. "Yes, I was abandoned at the orphanage when I was a week old by a nurse from Florence Nightingale Hospital. My biological mum was ashamed that I was conceived from a drunken one night stand with a stranger."

"She shouldn't have been ashamed that she got a beautiful daughter out of a one night stand."

Amber smiled at her. She couldn't explain any further.

"So, do you know anything about your biological father?"

Amber shook her head. "No, I don't think he'd want me either."

"I don't think that's true, anyone would be lucky to have you as a daughter. Though, you were adopted by a great man."

"Talking about me?" Doug asked walking in and kissing Jane's cheek.

Jane chuckled.

"Oh, I forgot that we had invited Amber over today. Who did you bring with you?"

"This is my fiancé Timothy Selwyn," Amber introduced him.

Doug nodded and sat down next to his wife. The two couples continued talking. Jane couldn't help but notice that her husband and Amber shared some similar facial features, gestures and tics. It was probably just a coincidence or could it be that she was his biological daughter. No, it was definitely a coincidence.

Amber and Tim soon left.

"Amber is a very sweet girl isn't she?" Jane asked.

"She is."
