Obviously, I said yes. We decided to not tell anyone anything, so that we could see how long it would take them to notice the ring on my finger.

During lunch, I decided to be the one to serve, making sure that my left hand was as visible as it could be. I was a little upset that no one noticed anything. After dinner, we were all sitting in the living room.

I was sitting on the floor playing wizarding chess with Ron, while Harry sat watching and was yelling instructions at me.

"No Fawn! The pawn the pawn!" he said wildly, waving his arms about.

"Shut up Harry!" I said.

Just as I prodded a chess piece with my left hand, Ron reached over and grabbed it. "What's this ring?"

I grinned cheekily, as he narrowed his eyebrows at me. Harry leaned over to get a closer look.

"Wait, is that.....YOU'RE WEARING AN ENGAGMENT RING?" Harry yelled out.

Everyone looked over.

"What?" Fred said. "WHAT?"

Ron's eyes widened. "OH MY GOSH YOU STOLE RUE'S RING!"

"NO YOU IDIOT THIS IS MY OWN RING." I yelled back.

Mrs. Weasley burst into tears. "Oh my goodness, my two eldest sons got engaged only within two days! I love you all so much!"

She pulled Bill, Charlie, Rue and I into a group hug.

"Who said that it was Bill that proposed to Fawn?" Ginny said smirking.

"GINNY!"

"Sorry mum, only joking." Ginny said.

When we all went back to Hogwarts, I happily announced my engagement to all the teachers. Everyone was super happy, even Snape congratulated me. Harry was sorted into the Triwizard Tournament even though he was too young, and no one knew who put his name in. Thankfully, he completed all the tasks well. Until the last task when Cedric Diggory was killed by Voldemort, who had returned.

I was pretty shaken up when Harry came back with Cedric's dead body. I had known and taught him ever since he was eleven, and even tutored him because he wasn't very good at History of Magic.

Now, we were at number 12 Grimmauld Place, the summer after the last task. It was Sirius Black's mother home. Dumbledore had told us about a secret society called the Order of the Phoenix, and had asked me, Mr. Weasley, Mrs. Weasley, Bill, Rue, Charlie, Damon, Lucas and Finley to join, along with other wizards and witches I have not met yet.

Charlie and Rue would be staying in Romania, to recruit as many foreign witches and wizards as they could. Bill got a desk job at Gringotts so that he could stay here in England.

Before we could tell Percy however, he came back home from the ministry one day and said he'd been promoted. Long story short, he and his parents had a huge fight and Percy left, saying that if we all were going to be against the Ministry, than he didn't want to be a part of the Weasley family.

When we arrived at Grimmauld Place, Sirius greeted us warmly.

"You all can go put your stuff in the rooms you'll be staying in." he said happily, as he led us to our rooms.

I was staying in a room with Ginny and Hermione. Bill, Fred and George were sharing one, Ron was having his own until Harry come's so that they can share, and Mr. and Mrs. Weasley had a room to themselves.

As the girls and I were taking our stuff out of our trunks, Sirius knocked and came into the room.

"Hey, Molly told me to come get you for dinner."

We all went downstairs and started helping Mrs. Weasley with setting the table as more people from the Order came.

There were people I didn't know, such as Kingsley Shacklebolt, Dedalus Diggle, Emaline Vance, Elphias Doge, Sturgis Podmore, Mundungus Fletcher, Hestia Jones and Arabella Figg (who happened to be a squib and was Harry's neighbor.) And there were people I knew. Hagrid, Remus Lupin, Minerva McGonagall, Severus Snape, Alastor 'Mad-Eye' Moody (the real Moody this time) and the familiar face of Nymphadora Tonks.

"We went to school together didn't we?" I said to Tonks as we hugged in greeting.

Tonks nodded. "Yep, I was in the same year as Charlie, Rue and Damon. I was in Hufflepuff though. I work with Damon, Lucas and Finley at the Ministry! We're Aurors together!"

"You're a Metamorphmagus, right?" I asked.

She grinned. "Yea I am,"

And as if to prove a point, she scrunched up her face and changed her blue hair to bubblegum pink.

"Oooh, I love your hair like this!" I gushed.

"Tha-, wait is that an engagement ring?" she said suddenly, pointing to my hand.

I nodded and she grabbed my hand, cooing over the ring. "Who's the lucky man?"

"Bill," I said, motioning to him.

On the other side of the room, Bill was in a deep conversation with Minnie, who looked very stern and was narrowing her eyes at him. Bill looked a bit scared and was nodding his head fervently. Minnie left him to go talk to Mrs. Weasley.

I walked over to Bill and placed a hand on his shoulder. "What were you two talking about?"

Bill looked at me with wide eyes. "She said that if I ever broke your heart again, she'd make sure to turn me into a rat and stuff me into a sewer. Or she's just stick her wand up my arse."

I burst out laughing. "Oh my gosh, I love Minnie,"

When Lucas, Finley and Damon arrived, we all sat down to eat dinner. Everyone was in their own little group, talking about different things. Some were talking about the Order, others were talking about work.

Lucas groaned. "I'm literally exhausted."

I laughed. "What did your mum make you do this time."

He frowned. "She made me clean the kitchen and living room, with no magic."

After dinner, Dumbledore came.

Everyone settled down. He stood at the head of the table and said "Let us began this meeting."
