Chapter 5

"Everything okay? You look like you're going to puke" Marissa asked me once I got back into the clinic.

"Yeah, I'm fine" I replied. She looked at me skeptically before going back to one of the files. I grabbed a pen and a folder and headed down the hallway into the exam room.

As I was getting the patient prep for the exam, I couldn't get my mind off the conversation I just had with Josh. I was writing down his blood pressure when my phone went off. I finished up, told him the doctor would be in awhile. I walked out of the room and leaned against the wall.

This wasn't going to be easy.

"Okay so Mara and Hannah are definitely in for the dress fitting, they're flying in the day before" I said later that night.

"Paige said she's going to be a little bit late, she has to take the baby to the doctor's" Becky said.

"That's fine with me" I said. I looked back into my bridal magazine trying to figure out what kind of wedding dress I want. I want it to be something that I like.

"Trouble with the dress?" I heard Cedric asked.

"Yeah, I um, just have trouble deciding. Speaking of that, I should make an appointment for that bridal boutique downtown." I replied.

"Well, why don't you try on some dresses when we go do the bridesmaids fitting?" Becky suggested.

"Yeah I could do that, I just need a dress that can say 'look at me I look pretty'" I said.

"I bet every guy probably thought that" Becky said. She saw Cedric's face grow with jealousy and protectiveness.

"Will you relax, she's only joking" I said.

"Come on, Nick, it was back in high school, I swear you never even recognized it" she said.

"Yeah, well you got to remember, the boys at my high school were jerks" I said going back to my book, thus ending that discussion.

"Cedric, you still not mad about what Becky said aren't you?" I asked him as we laid on my bed just staring at the ceiling that was covered with the night sky thanks to Cedric, use of magic.

"I'm over it, I mean you were in high school I bet you were popular" he replied.

"I must admit that I was, however, there was at some point that I hated the center of attention. I didn't mind up to a point but even when my parents died, at school, I was known as the girl who's parents died instead of the captain of the volleyball team" I said.

He held me closer and planted a kiss on the top of my head.

"My aunt wants us to have an engagement party. Since it's nearing June that I told her at some point we can try to have a barbeque at her place like an engagement barbeque party" I said.

"I wouldn't mind." he said.

"Are you sure? That means we would have to fly your parents out here? You think that well they would fly, fly here?" I asked.

"What as in using magic?" he asked. I nodded.

"Don't worry about it. I can deal with my parents trust me, love" he replied.

"If you say so" I said.

CPOV

Awhile later, she fell asleep, clearly exhausted from work. I honestly don't know how she do it. Working all of those hours at the clinic. At least she get some days off. Which is a good thing to me.

I saw over at her nightstand her list of what needed to be done for the wedding. I only saw only a few things crossed off of it. I know that there is so much to do before next year that I wish that I would live here just for planning the wedding and not plan it apart from each other.

I couldn't help but wonder about Josh. Nikki rarely told me about him only the fact that they went out a year after the wishing incident for a few months and he cheated on her at a friend's house before he was to meet up with her. What I did was bad after she disappeared, but what did that muggle arse did was almost as bad as what I did. But what I did was worse and there was no way I could make it up to it.

I love Nikki with all my heart and I couldn't wait to be her husband.

I started to get settled in when I saw Patches flew in the window with a piece of paper. He dropped it on my lap and I recognized that it was my father's handwriting.

Cedric,

Meet me in the park in half of an hour.

Don't bring Nikki. It concerns her

Dad

I immediately got out of the bed and threw my jeans on and a grey t shirt and quietly slipped out of her room and went down the hallway. I slipped out of the apartment without being noticed and headed towards the park

I made it to the park within twenty minutes. I sat on a nearby bench and anxiously waited for my dad.

What was so important that it concerned Nikki? I think my dad is starting to see her as a daughter he never had but I got to assure her that he doesn't hate her like she think.

I heard footsteps coming near me so I drew my wand out just in case. It was dark out so no witnesses were around luckily. I turned around and saw that it was my father coming up from behind.

"Could you next time give some kind of sign that your behind me?" I asked, shoving my wand in my pocket.

"Sorry son, but I'm glad that you got my message though" he said.

"Yeah so what's up?" I asked.

"We have a problem and it concerns your girl" he said.

"What kind of problem are we talking about?" I asked warily.

"Evil has escaped again" he said.

"I thought we locked up Bellatrix once we got her" I said.

"Yeah she's still locked away but um, he-who-not-speak-his-name came back" he said.

"What?" I asked.

"Yeah, around few days ago, apparently someone escaped Azkaban and around that time he well, came back" he said.

"I can't believe it. You think he'll come here?" I asked.

"I hope not, right not the ministry is doing everything to keep an eye out from them just in case something will happen" he said.

"But what does it mean for Nikki then?" I asked.

"I'm afraid that you need to keep her here. He might know her secret and I can't put into risk in case something happens" he said.

"So he basically knows what happened to her?"

"Not exactly, I think he wants her after what she did to Bellatrix."

A/n: Uh oh. Evil has risen again. What do you think will happen now?

I know it's been like weeks since I've updated so I'm into finals week and it's near 1AM where I live so I've managed to write this chapter. Not to mention I had writer's block until inspriation hit.

After the 17th, staring on May 24th, I'm going to continue doing the Monday updates with this story.

I hope you stick around as we continue to go on this journey. It'll be some ride for our two lovebirds.

Thanks for you patience and don't forget to review!

Signing out for now,
