The next morning Adelaine and Lee got up. Lee went to work after a short but very passionate snogging session. Adelaine puttered around the house and played with Bubble.

Around five, Lee returned from work and greeted her with his hands on her hips per usual.

"As much as I'm enjoying this you have to go get ready for the double date," Adelaine grinned.

Lee kissed her cheek and went to go get ready for their double date.

"Are you ready yet?" Adelaine asked.

"Just about love."

Adelaine groaned and said. "Sometimes I wonder if you were a girl in a different life."

"What I have to look good," Lee laughed, walking out of their loo.

Adelaine smiled and said. "You look perfectly good to me, Paddy."

"That's all that matters."

They took the Knight Bus to the muggle restaurant. Adelaine and Lee walked in.

"Hello guys," Oliver greeted, warmly hugging them both.

"Hey Oliver," Adelaine greeted.

"Chance should be here any minute."

Adelaine and Lee nodded.

A few minutes later Chance arrived and kissed Oliver's cheek.

"Chance, this is -" Adelaine cut Oliver off.

"There's no need to introduce us, we already know each other."

Oliver looked confused as he asked. "How?"

"I interned at the Prophet the summer of my sixth year and Chance was one of the other interns."

"Okay."

They were escorted to the table.

"So, how long have you two been dating?" Adelaine asked as Lee wrapped his arm around her.

"About two months now," Chance smiled at Oliver.

Adelaine nodded and said. "This is quite shocking you told me you didn't like Quidditch but now your boyfriend is obsessed with Quidditch."

"He likes Quidditch now," Oliver winked at Chance who in turn blushed.

Lee chuckled and said. "Don't give him such a hard time, love. You only like Quidditch because of me."

"Who told you that?" Adelaine smirked at her husband.

Lee feigned hurt.

Adelaine giggled and said, "Yeah, that's true. I was interested in Quidditch because of Lee's commentary fancying Oliver and Charlie were just byproducts of that amazing commentary."

"Now that's better," Lee said, kissing Adelaine's cheek.

"Wait, you fancied Oliver in school?" Chance asked.

Adelaine nodded and said. "He's the reason I didn't sit at my house table."

"I still say I was being used," Lee joked.

Adelaine rolled her eyes playfully and said. "Whose ring am I wearing?"

"Mine," Lee grinned his dimples showing.

Adelaine's heart fluttered as she said. "Yeah, I was quite besotted with Ollie for two years but when we kissed there was no chemistry. Tell me has he gotten any better at kissing?"

"You said I was a good kisser," Oliver said, blushing.

Adelaine shrugged, winked at Lee and said. "I didn't have anything to compare it back then since you were my first kiss."

"And before me you fancied Charlie Weasley?"

Adelaine nodded and said, "Yes, I did but once he left to go study dragons in the middle of my second year I started to fancy you."

"Okay."

Lee smiled at his wife and said. "When you get Adelaine talking she'll never shut up I learned that the minute we met."

Adelaine smiled at Lee. Before they could respond their food was delivered. They ate and chatted amicably. Oliver and Lee reminiscing about Quidditch at Hogwarts. Adelaine and Chance chatted to themselves laughing at jokes their boyfriend and husband told.

"That was great," Lee said, leaning back signaling that he was completely stuffed.

Adelaine leaned back on her husband's chest contently in response.

"Well, this was fun we should do it again," Chance said as Oliver took his hand.

The two couples parted ways after a long goodbye.

Adelaine and Lee apparated back to their house.

"Merlin, I'm still so full," Lee exclaimed, taking off his trousers the second they walked in.

Adelaine chuckled at her husband's antics and said. "Half-naked and we haven't even been home for five minutes."

"Just like our wedding night," Lee smirked, throwing himself unceremoniously on the couch.

Adelaine smiled and said. "I'll go slip into something more comfortable, I'll be back."

Lee groaned in response. Adelaine walked up to their room, changed into a new nightgown that she had bought and walked downstairs. She laid next to Lee on the couch.

"Are you trying to kill me, love?" he groaned, looking at his wife in her new nightgown.

Adelaine smirked and asked. "So, you like the nightgown?"

"It looks great on you, if I wasn't so bloody full I would rip it off in a second and make love to you until dawn," he winked suggestively, nibbling her right ear briefly.


It was now late July, Adelaine and Lee were waiting at the Burrow for the twins and Dora to come back from rescuing Harry. Everyone was pacing nervously.

"If anything happens to Dora, Fred or George. I'll go mental!" Lee exclaimed.

Adelaine nodded in agreement with her husband and said. "I'll go mental if anything happens to them or Hermione."

Just as Adelaine finished her sentence Harry arrived with Hagrid. At least Harry was safe but now they wait. Next to arrive were Remus and George.

"What happened, Remus?" Molly asked, urgently.

"He's unconscious and his ear was blown off." Remus said.

The group gasped and Lee looked like he was about to explode his surrogate brother had been attacked. If he reacted this badly he couldn't imagine how Fred would react. Fred and Arthur arrived next.

"What's wrong with him? Is his mind affected?" Fred asked.

"Saintlike. You see… I'm holy. Holey, Fred, geddit?" George said, cheekily.

"Pathetic. Pathetic! With the whole wide world of ear-related humor before you, you go for holey?" Fred exclaimed.

Adelaine knew she wasn't supposed to laugh at that exchange between the twins but she couldn't help it. It was a nervous habit of hers.

"At least somebody thought it was funny," George said looking at his best friend's wife of just over six months.

Molly tried her best to heal the wound but it was caused by dark magic. Next to arrive were Kingsley and Hermione they were both unharmed. Adelaine gave her a suffocating hug.

"Now we wait for Dora." Lee said finally sitting down.

Adelaine reached over to rub her husband's back to calm him down in vain and said. "You know Dora, she's a strong capable witch she can handle herself."

"I know, love but she's practically my sister," Lee said, leaning on his wife.

The Weasley matriarch frowned at the couple while the Weasley patriarch was slightly smiling at them fondly as was said woman's husband. There was a crash and Lee, Remus and Hermione rushed to see if Dora and Ron were okay. Remus got to his wife first he gathered her up into his arms.

"So what kept you? What happened?" Remus asked.

"Bellatrix. She wants me quite as much as she wants Harry, Remus, she tried very hard to kill me. I just wish I'd got her, I owe Bellatrix. But we definitely injured Rodolphus... Then we got to Ron's Auntie Muriel's and we missed our Portkey and she was fussing over us —" Tonks recounted,

Lee decided to go back inside to leave the couple alone.

"Is Dora okay?" Adelaine asked.

Lee nodded and said. "Yes, she is but now I know how Cedric felt when we were acting all lovey-dovey after you rescued Leslie in our fourth year," he finished with a slight chuckle.

"And that's before we were even dating."

Before Lee could respond Remus and Dora walked in. Dora engulfed her god-brother in a big hug.

"Merlin, I thought I lost you Dora!" Lee exclaimed.

Dora was a bit taken aback but said."Is he like this when you put yourself in danger, Adelaine?"

"You think this is bad, he's ten times worse with me," Adelaine chuckled lovingly at her emotional husband.

"Like I said before, besides my mum," He got an even sadder look on his face when he mentioned his mum but continued. "You two are two of the most important women in my life. I grew up around three strong and capable witches, my wife is a very strong and capable witch as well," Lee grinned at his god-sister and wife.

Adelaine kissed his cheek as Dora tried to ruffle his hair playfully but didn't succeed.

"I'm the only one who can ruffle his hair and play with his dreadlocks," Adelaine said.

Lee just grinned again.
