"Mione-" Cedric started as we walked out of the gates of Hogwarts.
"Yes fiancé?" I answered as I grinned up at him.
"How are you feeling?" he questioned as he gave my right hand a gentle squeeze with his left.
"As if I am on cloud nine" I admitted; and I grinned again when I heard him chuckle at me. "How are you feeling?" I enquired politely.
"Well-" He began. "You have just made me the happiness man alive!" I exclaimed and I couldn't help but giggle at his.
"At least now I understand why you were nervous" I noted as I looked down at the path before us.
"Yes" he nodded. "I just wanted to make sure that it went well" He explained.
"Well why would I say no?" I teased.
"I don't know" he shrugged. "You might have thought that it was too soon" he suggested.
"Hmm" I hummed. "I never thought of that" I advised.
"Oh" I heard him mutter. "Do you think it is too soon?" he asked and when I looked back at him to see panic in his eyes.
"No" I answered, hoping that this would reassure him. "Not at all Cedric" I added. "We have had to spend so much time apart, I just want to start living my life with you" I confirmed. "I know that this isn't anyone else for me but you" I reminded him. "So please don't fixate on this" I dismissed.
"Ok" he meekly smiled and I started to see the panic leave his eyes. "I won't" he smiled. "I feel the same Mione" he said lovingly.
"Glad to hear it" I answered. "Otherwise where would that leave us?" I teased.
"In a lot of trouble I guess" he joked, and we both started laughing.
"Speaking of too early-" I started.
"Yes?" he prompted me.
"I don't know whether this is too early to start discussing this-" I began again slowly. "But when did you want to get married?" I questioned. "As we have to wait till the summer it only leaves us this summer or next" I advised.
"Yeah" he nodded. "What did you want?" he asked.
"I asked first Cedric" I teased.
"Darn you!" he exclaimed and I giggled again as I winked at him. "Well I feel like you-" He started to advise. "We have spent so much time apart; I can't wait to start living our lives together" He answered broadly as we walked through the gates of Hogsmede.
"So you want to get married this summer?" I questioned. "That would give us around sixteen weeks" I stated.
"I know" he smiled. "Is that enough time" he stated.
"It should be" I agreed. "If we leave it late August" I suggested.
"Well it would appear my love that we are going to get married in August" he said eagerly.
"Eeeek!" I exclaimed. "I can't wait to tell everyone!" I sang excitedly. "Hang on!" I exclaimed as my mind suddenly landed on my parents.
"What?" he asked as his face dropped.
"My parents" I muttered.
"Don't worry Mione they know" He explained. "I asked your father for his blessing" he added.
"When?" I questioned eagerly.
"When you were at work last week" he stated.
"Oh" I muttered before a weak smile spread across my face. It would appear that Cedric had everything covered; I also smiled at how traditonal he was. Going to my father like that; however it was the right thing to do - as it means a great deal to me and my parents. "I see" I noted. "You have everything covered" I teased.
"Yes" He chuckled back. "I did tell your parents that we would go and share our good news when we returned" he advised.
"So family night?" I grinned happily.
"Yeah" he said. "Then we need to tell my parents, then our friends" He added.
"Yes!" I exclaimed. "And then the world!" I sang excitedly.
"Yes my love!" he sang cheerly back.
"Eeeek!" I exclaimed again. "It's so exciting! I can't wait to start planning!" I sang happily again. I heard Cedric chuckle at me as we continued to walk through Hogsmede so we could continue with the rest of our trip.
Before I knew it it was the evening and me and Cedric had had a very lazy day, we had gone for a walk up to the Shrieking Shack before shopping for some odds and ends that we needed. We then decided that we were going to have our evening meal in the Three Brooksticks; so after putting our things in our room we then found a table in the corner of the room.
As we were eating our hot pots with vegtables we were approached by Luna, when we asked what she was doing here she said that she was here for some research for her father's paper. When asked her what about she just giggled before putting her finger to her lips; she then skipped away without another word causing me and Cedric to throw a blank look at each other. No matter how long I knew Luna there was times like this where she still confounded me; however I knew that she only meant well in her own way.
After we finished our meals we then decided that we wanted to go to our room so we could have time alone together. Yes we had spent most of this trip on our own but being in our room was different - we didn't have to hide behind anything when we were in our room and we could be more intimate. And to be quite honest I knew where our evening was going to end - which was something I was very much looking forward to.
