My love grows for you with every beat of my heart -- September 1998

I had known where my husband was. I was asked not to let anything slip to Ember. I was of course dying too. I had been sworn to secrecy. It's only because I can read people. I had my dress on and went in to give Em a hand with the girls to make sure if anyone needed anything. " I remember that necklace." I said as I saw the exchange between Dean and Elena.

"I don't know why I took it... you probably peeved me off," I said, chuckling a little bit.  "It doesn't exactly go with everything, so I undertsand if you don't wear it... but I thought you would at least like to have it."   I really wasn't too concerned with the lip prints on my cheek.  But apparently Lucy was because she was starting to wipe it off.  I stood there like a good little boy and didn' make a fuss.

I rolled my eyes at the twins' bickering.  "I feel as though I hear a bet coming on..." I said, knowing exactly how George and Fred could get with each other.

" Other than a little sore I am good. I will be happy when I do it. Means, I can go home..." I said they had made me swear among my children's lives. That I would come back if anything was wrong, I promised. I gave my word. " They made me promise on the kids if something was wrong to come back." I told him as I dusted myself off. " I know you would take care of it...Prongs I'll be all right. " I told him as he looked unsure. " Have a little faith." I teased him. Other than scars and bruises. Nothing was going to stop me.

Fred Weasley wrote:" Wait until my wedding, I am not going to be freaking out. " I said with confidence. " You know you and Lenni are an awesome couple...I'll be honest...you can't find someone like her anywhere." I told him, " She and you picked each other. You two can handle anything." I told him, knowing my brother may be a little nervous which is understandable.

I looked at Fred.  "You will definitely be freaking out," I assured him.  "And I know... I love Lenni to death.  It's just everything coming together.  Especially with the big surprise."

I had to wipe off Dean's cheek.  He was not going to be walking down teh aisle looking like he was snogging in teh coat closet -- even if the kiss had been from his sister.

I laughed and ran a hand through my hair.  "Yeah... I'm sure you can pull this off," I said, grinning.  I was just kind of fretting with the aftermath.  I was pretty sure that Ember would end up killing all of us for keeping this from her.

I figured that I needed to go in to see Lenni before she walked down the aisle.  It was the least I could do for her today.  I knew what was in store for her.  I didn't necessarily agree with them hiding the fact that SIrius was awake, I thought the overall idea was adorable.  The only reason I agreed to keep my mouth shut.  I knocked on the door and walked in.  "Hello ladies," I said, grining to those in the room.

I nodded, " You know me...I'll pull it off Prongs." I told him. I know that I can do it. I am incredibly stubborn.

I sighed.  I knew he could... I just couldn't help but be a little concerned.  "You know... we may want to start heading over there... we don't want to be too early, but I don't think either of us want to stay here any longer than necessary," I said to my friend.

" Hi, Uncle Remus." I said to him happily. I walked over and gave him a hug, giving him a kiss on the cheek leaving another pair of my lips on his cheek. I laughed, " I guess I should stop doing that." I said to Lucy who gave me a look.

I laughed and instead of having Lucy wipe it off, I went over and hugged Remus and wiped it off.  "Can't you wait until it's Lucy's big day?" I teased.

I hugged htem both.  I shot Ember a look; I didnt really relish that day at all.  So I focused my attention on my niece.  "Honey, you look wonderful," I said to her.  I caught Dean's eye and he nodded.  "I just wanted to pop my head in before going to take a seat..."  Mor eor less, I was goign to be helping James sneak Sirius in.  But I had tos ee Lenni first.

I nodded, standing up. " Makes sense to me....I just hope your sister doesn't knock me out." I said with a laugh just seeing Ember come to hug me and knock us both over or something. Grabbing the suit jacket I led the way glad to be discharged. " Yes, Kathy I promise to come back if anything is wrong." I told her and she smiled, telling us we both looked handsome. " Honey we know." I said to her with a wink. I was surprising everyone but the Marauders knew. So did Lily but that is because Lily has psychic abilities.

I smiled, " thank you." I said to him as I fixed my dress. I was nervous knowing my luck I'll trip walking down the aisle or something. " Makes sense I will see you in there." I said happily soon I was going to be Mrs. Elena Weasley..." I'll try not to fall."
