After sharing a few loving moments together we broke apart and I let Cedric then side his right hand into my left and he began to lead me through the corridors at Hogwarts. I couldn't believe it! I was now an engaged woman! I was currently feeling so overwhelmed in this moment that part of me felt like it was a dream; however when I looked at Cedric this soon changed. Yes most of my relationship felt like a dream with him; but it was very much real. I could tell by the way that he made me feel; when he smiled at me it felt like my heart was pounding in my chest. Some times when he speaks to I have problems breathing; when I walk into the same room as him my chest and stomach flutters. And when he kisses me I still see fireworks to this day; and I could say without any shadow of a doubt that I fall in love with him all over again every single day.
I was broken out of my train of thought when me and Cedric arrived at Professor McGonagall's office; and we found that she was already waiting for us, with the secret entrance to her office already open.
"Morning" she said politely as we stepped up to her.
"Morning" we answered happily together.
"By the looks on your faces I'm guessing it went well" she smiled as I watched her eyes land onto my left hand.
"You knew?" I questioned in shock.
"Yes" She confirmed as she and Cedric shared a smug and proud look. "Cedric told me that he wanted to propose here and I couldn't turn that down" she chuckled and we all shared a happy glance with each other. "And now for our meeting-" She smiled before she quickly span around and started to walk up the staircase to her office.
"Do I get to find out now?" I teased as me and Cedric followed her.
"Yes" he chuckled.
"Just give us a couple of minutes" Professor McGonagall called as she opened the door to her office.
"Ok" I replied as me and Cedric walked into the office after her.
"Please be seated" she advised as she walked around the desk and gestured with her right hand to the two seats that were waiting for us. "Would you like a drink?" she enquired.
"Tea please?" I answered as Cedric nodded in agreement.
"As you wish" she smiled as she waved her wand and a dark red tea set appeared on the desk in front of us all. "Put the sugar and milk in as you wish" she suggested as she pulled her freshly brewed tea towards her. "So-" She began as me and Cedric mirrored her actions. "I believe I will hand this over to you Mr Diggory" she smiled fondly as I started to put milk into my tea.
"Thank you" he smiled.
"Well I didn't want to make this decision without you" he advised as he looked over to me as I handed him the milk.
"What decision?" I questioned in confusion.
"Our wedding" he advised.
"Cedric we have only just got engaged!" I exclaimed.
"I know" he stated. "But I wanted to still have this discussion" he advised.
"What discussion?" I asked.
"May I?" Professor McGonagall interjected, and I watched as Cedric nodded at this. "When Cedric told me that he wanted to propose he also approached me with something else-" she began to explain.
"Ok?" I said slowly as I looked from Professor McGonagall to Cedric and back to her again. "What?" I enquired as I pulled one brow up in confusion.
"He wanted to know whether you could get married here" she advised.
"What?" I exclaimed. I had never imagined where me and Cedric would get married; but getting married at Hogwarts seemed like a dream come true! And now that I had been proposed this I couldn't imagine marrying Cedric anywhere else; I just hoped that Professor McGonagall wasn't going to say that there want any problems with this. "Really?" I urged as I looked over to Cedric.
"Yes" Cedric confirmed. "I thought you would like it" He added.
"I do" I stated. "But we don't want to put you out" I advised as I looked over to Professor McGonagall.
"You aren't" she dismissed. "I am more than happy to allow this" she added which caused me to smile. "However-" she began and my face dropped. "It would have to be out of term time, so you would be restricted" She explained and I nodded at this. This would mean that we could only really get married in the summer as this was the only time in which there was no students here. I then thought whether this was something that I wanted - a summer wedding. And the more I thought about it the more it seemed perfect.
"I don't have a problem with this" I advised. "Do you?" I asked as I looked back over to Cedric.
"No" he smiled. "Not at all" he stated as he shook his head.
"Then it is settled!" Professor McGonagall exclaimed causing us both to look over to her. "Just send me the date you would like to use" she smiled happily. "As I know that you now have a lot to talk about" she chuckled.
"Yes" Cedric grinned. "Yes we do" he added causing me to chuckle at him.
The conversation then moved on to how our jobs were going and how Professor McGonagall was getting on; I had heard that she had been dealing with some health problems but she wasn't letting it affect her running the school. This was something that I had always admirred about my ex head of house - she was an inspiration to me. And she had been like a mother figure to me during my stay at Hogwarts; and it meant a great deal that she was being involved in a very important development in mine and Cedric's lives.
