A few days passed, Lee was spending the day with his grandpa.
"You really love Adelaine, don't you?"
Lee grinned and said. "Yes, I'm completely and utterly smitten with her."
"Have you been thinking of proposing to her?"
"Actually yes, I already asked her dad's permission and got mom's old ring that dad gave her."
He nodded and said. "How are you going to do it?"
"I haven't planned that far actually. Didn't you say that you were going to take us to muggle baseball game? That's what it's called right?"
"Yeah, that's what it's called."
Lee nodded and said. "Is there a way to propose to her there?"
"Yes, there is."
Lee nodded again.
It was now the day of the game. Adelaine noticed Lee looked especially nervous.
"Everything okay, Lee?"
"Yes," he assured her.
Adelaine nodded.
"So, what are the rules of this game, grandpa?" Lee asked.
His grandfather explained the rules to the his grandson and his girlfriend.
"So, it's a bit like cricket?"
"I guess."
Adelaine looked over at her boyfriend and asked, "You've read about cricket?"
"If it's a book about a sport I will read it, you should know that love."
"Oh, right."
The game started.
It was now the seventh inning or whatever it's called. Adelaine had noticed Lee was more antsy then usual coming up to this inning.
"It's time for a kiss-cam," The announcer said.
The camera soon stopped on Lee and Adelaine.
"Should we kiss?" Adelaine asked.
Lee smirked at her and said. "I have something much better." He said kneeling down in front of her.
Adelaine gasped as he took the ring out of his pocket.
"Love, we've been together for three years now. I know I usually never shut up but I know if I start talking about how much I love you I'll definitely never shut up. I'll keep it short for once and ask, Will you become Mrs. Jordan?"
"Of course, you prat," Adelaine giggled, tears steadily falling out of her eyes.
Lee slipped the ring on her finger and he pulled her into a long kiss. The camera was off them by the end of the kiss.
Adelaine and Lee sat back down.
The game ended. Everyone except Lee's grandma was happy about the engagement.
"You know you will never be good enough for my grandson no matter what that ring says," she told, Adelaine cattily sounding like a teenage girl.
Adelaine sighed and bit her tongue not wanting to go off on Lee's grandmother.
It was later that night Adelaine was reading in bed when Lee slipped into bed next to her.
"Something wrong, love?" he asked.
Adelaine shook her head and said. "I'm fine, Lee."
"You know I know you better than that, love," he said.
Adelaine put down her book, sniffled and asked. "Am I good enough for you?"
"Of course you are, I wouldn't have proposed if you weren't," he said, instantly pulling her to his chest.
"That's what I thought," she sniffled, against his chest.
"I'll take a guess that's my grandma's take on our engagement," Lee sighed.
Adelaine nodded against her fiancé's chest. She loved calling Lee her fiancé.
The couple fell asleep.
The next morning Lee woke up first. He looked down at his beautiful fiancée in his arms. It looked like she had cried herself to sleep in his arms.
He growled, untangled her arms from around him and got up.
He walked to the kitchen and saw his grandma. Not the person he wanted to see right now.
"Morning sweetie."
Lee's brown eyes darkened threateningly at his grandma. He was going to have trouble biting his tongue.
"How did you sleep?"
"Good, except for my fiancée crying herself to sleep in my arms."
So much for biting his tongue.
"She's not good enough for you, Lee!"
Lee yelled. "Yes, she is. I love her so bloody much!"
"You don't know what love is, you're much too young and I hope you two didn't do anything inappropriate in bed since you've been here."
"We're accustomed to sharing a bed and have been since our first year. Though that was completely by accident and innocent. It's none of your business if we did anything but for your information we didn't!"
She looked scandalized at her grandson's confession that's he been sharing a bed with her since their first year.
"I always thought she was a harlot!"
Lee's soft brown eyes blazed with anger and he exclaimed."She's not a harlot and how dare you say she is! I can't imagine my life without her. You have no bloody idea what we've been through! I almost lost her even before we became a couple and I was bloody terrified that I would never get to tell her how much I love her." Lee said thinking back to their fourth year.
His grandma started to say something but he said, "I'm not bloody finished. You can't control that I love her and how dare you make her think she's not good enough for me!"
"She isn't and don't you dare take that tone of voice with me young man!"
Lee glared at his grandma and said. "I told Adelaine to let go of the fact you didn't like her but this is the last straw! We're leaving!"
His grandma shrugged.
He stormed to the bedroom and started to pack.
"Lee?"
He looked over to see his fiancée waking up. Fiancée he loves calling her that.
"What's going on?"
"We're leaving, please start packing," Lee said, sitting down on the bed his head in his hands.
Adelaine leaned over and rubbed her fiancé's back to calm him down. He instantly relaxed at his fiancée's touch.
"Maybe it's just me that should go since its me who is causing the tension," Adelaine said.
"If you want, love."
Adelaine nodded. "I'll miss you but I think it's the best idea."
"You're willing to do that, love?"
"Yes," Adelaine said, getting out of bed, siting next to Lee and resting her head on his shoulder.
Lee smiled and kissed her forehead.
"That's just what I'll do."
"You're amazing."
Adelaine smiled, got up and started packing. Lee walked with Adelaine to the apparition spot once they shared a short but very passionate kiss.
"I'm going to miss you very much."
"Me too.
She apparated outside their house. She walked into their house and unpacked her suitcase. She took a shower and cleaned up. It was still early. After that she just apparated to The Diggorys house. She knew if Cedric was alive he would be the first one she would tell outside her family. She knocked on the Diggory's door.
"Who's there?" Mrs. Diggory asked.
"It's Adelaine, Cynthia," Adelaine said.
She had always felt more comfortable calling the Diggorys by their first names for some reason.
"What was Cedric's position on the Quidditch team?" she asked.
"He was a seeker."
Mrs. Diggory nodded and invited Adelaine in.
"I just wanted you and Amos to be the first to know that Lee proposed yesterday."
Mrs. Diggory grinned and hugged her honorary daughter.
"He's still in America though."
"Why is he in America?"
"He's visiting his maternal grandparents."
Mrs. Diggory nodded.
"Please tell Amos the news."
Cynthia nodded and Adelaine left.
Her next stop was Weasley Wizarding Wheezes. She walked in.
"Congratulations you two!" Fred and George exclaimed.
Adelaine chuckled and said. "It's just me."
"Lee didn't come home with you?"
Adelaine shook her head and said. "No, I wanted him to stay but it's a long story."
Before the twins could reply Adelaine was tackled in a hug by Angelina and Alicia.
"Congratulations, girl," Alicia said.
"Thanks."
"Where's the groom?"
"Still in America. We decided that I should leave early."
Angelina was suspicious and asked. "Why?"
Adelaine sighed and said. "His grandma didn't really like me and said I wasn't good enough for him."
"Is she crazy, you two are perfect together!" Fred exclaimed.
"Well, not everyone is going to love you as much as Lee does," George said.
Adelaine chuckled and said. "That's exactly what he said."
"So, how did he do it?" Alicia asked.
"This is girl stuff so we'll leave you three girls alone," Fred said, walking away with George.
"So, how did Lee propose?"
Adelaine smiled fondly and said. "You know with Lee it has to be something public so it was at a muggle sports event."
"That's really sweet," Alicia cooed.
Adelaine grinned.
"So, Fred and George are going to be his best men but what about your maid of honor?"
"We barely got engaged but I think it's between you and Dora, Lee's god-sister."
Angelina nodded.
"So, how are your relationships going?" Adelaine asked.
Angelina grinned and said. "Good."
"I'm still single."
Adelaine nodded.
After a few more minutes of talking Adelaine parted ways with her friends and went home. She already missed Lee terribly. The bed felt so empty without him.
