Chapter 18 Will You Marry Me!

Sirius and Ashton

Sirius was at the mall looking around for a gift for Ashton for their anniversary. He wasn't sure what to get her, well he knew what he wanted to get her but was it too soon, he wondered. He was going to take a chance and get her an engagement ring. Sirius went to a jewellery store and looked at the rings, when an attendant came over and asked if she could help him, he told her what he wanted, so she led him over to the right rings and brought out a panel of the rings so that Sirius could see them up close. He looked them over and decided that Ashton was a type of woman who would like a simple ring, if he was wrong he would bring her back and let her pick out her own ring. Sirius finally picked a beautiful ring, paid for it and had it put in a special box with a ribbon around it. He placed it in his pocket and waited for their special day.

On their anniversary they went to a family restaurant and enjoyed a pasta dinner for two, which included a large piece of cake that they shared. After the cake was gone Sirius brought out the ring box and placed it on the table in front of Ashton.

"Happy Anniversary Darling!" exclaimed Sirius.

"Oh Sirius thank you!" declared Ashton with a wide smile.

She undid the ribbon and opened the box while at the same time Sirius had gotten up and knelt at Ashton's side. Ashton looked up and was surprised to see Sirius on his knees beside her. She turned around in her seat so that she was facing him.

"Ashton I have loved you since you came over to Harry and I at the first meeting that we attended of the play group. I love you more today then I did then. You are my world and I wish for you to be apart of my world. Will you marry me?" Sirius asked with a nervous hopeful look on his face.

Ashton was shocked! She hadn't expected this at all. Her mind was a blank. Sirius was worried that she was going to say no because she was taking so long to answer.

"Ashton?" asked Sirius with a sad tone.

That woke Ashton up out of her shock.

"Oh, Sirius! YES! I will marry you," replied Ashton loudly.

"I love you Ashton!" stated Sirius with a wide smile as he pulled her out of her chair and twirled her around right in the restaurant. The whole restaurant clapped and cheered for them. The owner of the restaurant came out to them and congratulated them on their engagement and informed them that their dinner is on the house. Sirius and Ashton were shocked but thanked the man and promised to come back to this restaurant on their first anniversary. The owner asked for a picture of them so he can say that they were the first couple to become engaged in his restaurant. They posed for the picture with her ring finger showing and gave him their names so he could mount the picture with a plaque with the names on it under it. He could hardly wait to tell the others that he was going to get married.

The couple went to the motel room that Sirius had rented for the night. They started to talk about the wedding and when they would like to have it.

"I have always dreamed of a spring wedding," said Ashton with a wide smile.

"You can have it any time you want and I will be there waiting for you," replied Sirius with a smile.

Ashton blushed and smiled with love in her eyes.

"I do love you Sirius Black with all my heart and I can't wait to be Mrs Black," stated Ashton with excitement.

"There is two things I need to tell you Ashton before we go on," commented Sirius.

"What are they?" asked Ashton worriedly.

"Well one I am a wizard. A wand waving, cauldron brewing and magic making wizard," Sirius said worriedly looking at Ashton for her reaction.

Ashton smiled and released the breath she wasn't aware she had been holding.

"That's a relief! I am a witch and I was trying to figure out how to tell you because I thought you were a muggle," remarked Ashton sheepishly.

Sirius laughed and Ashton joined him. Weren't they the perfect pair?

"What was the second thing you needed to tel me?" enquired Ashton.

Sirius shared everything about Harry and the situation surrounding them. He shared the fact that after Harry turns eleven they are returning to Scotland so that he could attend Hogwarts and that they promised Albus that they would. Ashton listened carefully to Sirius then when he was done she grabbed his head and kissed him passionately.

"Where you go Sirius Black I will follow!" exclaimed Ashton passionately.

Sirius was ecstatic with this news! He had been afraid he would have had to choose between Ashton and Harry. Now he didn't and he was happy about that.

Sirius and Ashton spent the night there and made passionate love for the first time. In the morning they talked and decided that it would be more cost friendly if Ashton moved in with them at the end of the month, he didn't see the others objecting.

Severus and Sabrina

Severus and Sabrina went to a fancy restaurant but it wasn't ultra fancy. They ordered their meal and ate while talking about everything that came to mind. Just before desert arrived Severus was acting nervous, Sabrina wondered about that. Desert came and she took a spoonful and saw something shiny on the spoon. She took it off the spoon and cleaned it off with her napkin. There in her hand was a sapphire ring! She looked at Severus who had joined her on her side of the table.

"Sabrina, when we met at the conference I was so fascinated with you that I couldn't keep you off my mind. I knew then that you were the woman for me. Not only did you understand my field of work but you were a wonderful woman. Sabrina Smythe will you make an honest man of me and marry me?" asked Severus nervously.

Sabrina looked Severus in the eye and said,"It's about time you asked me. Yes I will marry you. I fell in love with you when you snarked at that old Potions Master that criticized you because you invented children's potions. I love you Severus Snape and I can't wait to be Mrs Severus Snape," Sabrina gushed at Severus.

Severus looked at Sabrina with a smirk, stood up and took her with him and kissed her like he had never kissed her before. That night they went to a motel room and made love all night long. After sleeping for a bit Severus decided to share Harry's story with her. He told her everything about it. He told her about going back to Scotland when Harry turned eleven so that he could go to Hogwarts. They had promised Albus that they would return.

"Severus I followed you to New Orleans, do you really think I wouldn't follow you to Scotland too," asked Sabrina with a smirk.

"I do love you woman!" exclaimed Severus.

"I know and I love you!" Sabrina countered.

They talked more about when she wanted to have the wedding.

"I have always wanted a fall wedding," she replied.

"Your wish is my command my lady," Severus returned to her with a smile.

Sabrina laughed and kissed Severus like there was no tomorrow. They also decided that since they were engaged that she might as well move in with them. He was sure the others wouldn't mind at all.

Remus and Cecille

Remus and Cecille went on a picnic for their date. Remus spread the blanket on the ground and charmed it against bugs and to stay put. He did this on the sly because they were in a muggle park. They ate the meal Mitzi prepared for them and talked.

After their meal Remus gave Cecille a small box. When she opened it there was a figurine that were part of a collection that she didn't have but there was an added feature on this one. Looking closer she saw that it was a diamond ring. She looked up at Remus who was on his knees in front of her.

"Cecille, when I was younger I never thought that I would find a woman who would accept me for what I am. When I met you I wished with all my heart that you would be the one to accept me for what I am. As I got to know you it turned out that you are the perfect woman for me, you accepted me even though I am a werewolf and I can talk to you about everything. I love you Cecille...will you do me the honour of becoming my wife?" asked Remus anxiously.

"Remus you are a good man, and that is what I see when I look at you, a man not a werewolf. I love you and yes I will marry you in a heart beat." replied Cecille with a smile.

Remus took her in his arms and kissed her. He placed his ring onto her finger and then kissed her again. They then talked some but decided to leave the park as it got dark. They checked into a motel room so they could talk more and play around. They decided to save the ultimate act til their wedding night. Remus told Cecille all about Harry and about the promise they made to Albus.

"Where you go I will follow Remus Lupin! Be it New Orleans or Scotland it makes no difference to me. You are mine and I am not about to give you up for anything," replied Cecille with a smile and a twinkle.

"When would you like our wedding to be?" asked Remus.

"I have always wanted a summer wedding. Probably mid August," answered Cecille.

They talked into the night making plans for the wedding. They decided that it would save money if Cecille would move into the mansion with them. She could sleep in the room that she was in during Christmas and if she wished to share Remus' bed sometimes that would be ok with him.

All the godfathers are engaged to the women they loved and there was only one worry on all their minds.

HOW IS HARRY GOING TO TAKE IT?!
