"Well, that was-" I panted as I tried to calm my breathing down after we broke apart after our love making and lay side by side in our bed.
"Yeah" he panted back at me. "It always is" he grinned as we slid back together, and we cuddled together with me placing my head onto his bare chest.
"How much longer do we have?" I enquired as both of our breathing returned to normal.
"What do you mean?" I heard him ask, which made me look up at him.
"You said that we are going to see my parents tonight?" I reminded him.
"Oh that!" he exclaimed. "That reminds me I need to send him an owl to my parents" he advised.
"Why your parents?" I questioned slowly in confusion.
"Well, the thing is- "he started nervously. "My parents and your parents are going to be at my parent's tonight" he admitted, obviously hoping that I wasn't going to be upset with this.
"Oh" I muttered. "I see" I noted. "Have I just ruined something?" I asked slowly.
"Maybe a little" he advised. "But hey" he shrugged. "I better let them know we are going to be a little bit late" he added.
"Right" I nodded. "Why? Surely we have plenty of time" I rationalised.
"Well, I told them we would be there for seven- "he started. "I'll just tell them that we will be there for half past seven" he decided.
"Why?" I asked.
"Mione" he grinned. "Have you seen the time?" he teased with a smug grin.
"No" I stated, and I looked over to my bedside clock and I froze when I saw that it was quarter past six. Wow! Time really did fly when you were having fun! "Oh!" I exclaimed. "I see" I said as I turned around and pulled a face at Cedric.
"Yeah" he laughed.
"So, if you would excuse me- "I began as I slowly sat up. "I'm just going to pop to the toilet" I stated as I threw the covers back and I crawled out of our bed and stood up.
"I'll go in after you" I heard him say, which made me look over to him. "I'll just send Weaver" he smiled warmly at me.
"Ok" I nodded at him; and I made the decision that I needed to be back in his arms. "In a few minutes" I teased as I quickly jumped back into our bed, and I slid back to him. I watched as a large grin spread across his face before a chuckle escaped from his throat as we cuddled back together. Cedric pulled the covers back over us and he pressed his lips against mine and we started to fall into a loving make out session, that both of us obviously didn't want to stop – but we both knew deep down that it had to as our parents were going to be waiting for us. And hopefully we weren't going to keep them waiting for very long.
After very unwillingly tangling ourselves from each other we both climbed out of bed, I then shrugged into my dark red dressing gown as he shrugged into his mustard-coloured dress gown. As I started to walk into the bathroom I watched as Cedric left the room to go and find Weaver to send a quick message to his parents. I didn't see him again until I walked back into our bedroom to see him enter the room also; he smiled warmly at me before quickly walking into our ensuite bathroom.
"Cedric!" I called as I sat on the foot of our bed.
"Aha!" he called as I heard him flush the toilet after passing urine.
"What about Harry, Ron and Ginny?" I questioned as I heard the tap turn on which told me he was now washing his hands and the room fell into silence as I heard the tap turn off.
"What about them?" he asked as he stepped into the room, drying his hands on a mustard and brown hand towel.
"Well surely we should be telling our family together?" I asked uncertainly as he threw the hand towel into our washing basket. I knew that Harry, Ron, and Ginny would understand about us telling our parents first, but this still didn't stop me from feeling that they should be included – they were my family also.
"Well, we are" he confirmed as he walked towards me.
"What?" I asked in confusion as he sat down next to me on my right-hand side.
"I assumed that you would want to tell everyone together- "he started. "So, I invited them too" he informed me.
"Really?" I exclaimed.
"Yes" he smiled broadly. "Really" he nodded.
"Did they know that you were going to propose?" I questioned eagerly.
"Only our parents do" he answered.
"Ok" I nodded, and I couldn't stop but smile at the fact that Cedric had thought of everything to make both his proposal and our announcement perfect. This only made me more excited for this evening; I couldn't wait to tell our family about me and Cedric taking this very important step in our relationship. "So, we are doing the announcement tonight, aren't we?" I questioned in case Cedric had changed his mind, for whatever reason.
"Yeah" he nodded. "Unless you wanted to wait- "he quickly added. "For whatever reason?" he said slowly in confusion.
"No!" I exclaimed. "Of course, not" I urged as he wrapped his left arm around my waist, and he pulled me closer to him. "I just wanted to make sure, I can't wait for the world to know poppet" I smiled at him.
"Me neither" he agreed; and I felt him press a kiss against the top of my head. "Even though people probably know that it is coming" he chuckled as he pulled away and we both looked at each other.
"Yeah" I smiled. "We have been together a long time" I added.
"Best time ever!" he exclaimed which made me giggle at him. I then pushed my face forward and pressed a long and loving kiss against his lips, which only ended when the need to breath hit the pair of us.
"We need to behave" I panted as I started to work on calming my breathing down.
"How so?" he panted.
"If we keep kissing like that- "I breathed. "We are going to get distracted again" I teased. "And we may not make it to our meal" I winked at him.
"Spoil sport" he stated as he pulled a funny face which made us both chuckle at each other. "We better go and get ready then?" he sighed.
"Yeah" I replied.
"Want to join me in the shower?" he winked at me. "For just a cuddle" he quickly added.
"Really?" I teased. "Just a cuddle?" I flirted at him.
"Well maybe a little make out session as well?" he chuckled.
"Deal!" I quickly exclaimed as I watched as my favourite crooked smile spread across his face. We both then untangled ourselves from each other and stood up; I then let Cedric slide his left hand into my right before he started to lead me towards our bathroom – with both of us obviously not wanting to leave each other's warm embrace.
