One and Only

60. Cope.

  He pulled out a small black box and opened it, revealing a beautiful silver band ring. He pulled the ring out of the box before slipping the box back into his pocket.

"Listen Amber, I wanted to give you this on Christmas but you... you weren't here. But now that you're here I want to give it to you..." he reached for my hand and I hesitantly gave him it. "This is a promise ring, promising our love and loyalty to each other. I know we are to young to get engaged so I thought this is a better alternate."

I smiled at the beautiful gesture.

"I love you with my entire heart. There is not one ounce of me where I don't want to grow old with you, get married, have our own children. I want you to be my forever..." he slipped the ring onto my middle finger.

I examined it and noticed that it had 'one and only' engraved on the band. I felt tears prick at my eyes as I looked back up at him.

"I love you so much Draco." A tear escaped my eye before I passionately pulled his lips onto mine. His arms wrapped around my waist, mine around his neck.

We both stopped once we heard a 'woohoo' from one of the windows. We looked up to see Enzo and Theo celebrating. Draco and I started laughing before we connected our lips once more.

God I'm so in love with this man.

"Amber, will you be my girlfriend again?" He took both of my hands in his before I nodded. He obviously already knew the answer.

Theo and Enzo came running down the field to join us in a love filled group hug.

"Did she say yes??" Enzo asked.

"Is that even a question?" Draco responded and there were more whoops and hollers from the four of us.

We all joined inside to help Cissy make dinner for us all. I helped make the food, Theo set the table, Draco made the drinks, and Enzo helped everyone, being the gentleman he is.

"It's good to have you all back, especially you Amber. I was getting a bit worried." She chuckled.

"Trust me, it was much more frustrating than you think." I joined her.

"Yeah, I had to save her from the god damn lake." Draco added.

"What?" Enzo and Theo turned to him.

"You guys didn't know? She like fell in and didn't care to try and swim back up." Draco explained.

"Draco! Shut up!" I yelled.

"Is that why you came back wet that day?" Enzo asked.

"Yeah... but can we please not talk about it. That's something I actually want to forget." I began cutting a bunch of veggies for our salad.

"Let's talk about the good things then." Narcissa suggested and we all agreed.

Dinner was delightful and very filling. We talked about our coming up exams and our final year approaching.

A bit sad knowing that next year is our last year at Hogwarts. I mean that's where I grew up, that's the place I first called home. That's where I met my life long friends. I can't imagine not going to school after next year.

"Do you think we will all still be friends after we graduate?" I asked.

"Of course we are! We will all grow old together and our kids will be best friends... maybe even more than that." Enzo smirked and then Theo elbowed him in the arm.

"Don't worry about that darling, everything is going to be perfect." Draco reassured me.

Just as I was about to take another bite, I dropped my fork from the pain emitting in my left arm. I let out a sudden yelp making everyone's attention turn to me.
