3 A.M. (Oliver Wood) *ON HOLD*

Chapter Ten: Order of the Phoenix

Mr. Weasley had gotten to come home on Christmas Eve, and everyone was happy. He wasn't in the best of shape, but he looked a lot better than when he was originally in the hospital. Celeste and Mrs. Weasley had worked together to make a dinner for everyone for Christmas.

The day after Christmas, Lupin had asked to talk to Oliver and Celeste. The couple were really surprised when Lupin had admitted to them that he was in a relationship with Tonks. Nymphadora Tonks was Sirius's first cousin, and she was the same age as Charlie Weasley. Celeste didn't care how young she was though, as long as Lupin was happy.

A few weeks later, while the kids were in school, Tonks came by the shop to see Celeste. Lupin had been at home resting after a full moon, so Celeste knew the woman wasn't there looking for Lupin. Oliver was in the back duplicating chocolate for orders they had recieved the night before. Celeste had also recieved a letter from Fred and George, telling her that Umbridge had now banned her chocolate from being delivered at the school, so the students would have to go to the shop to get some if they wanted it.

Harry had also sent her a letter, telling her about the DA, as well as about Umbridge's new inquisitorial squad that a few select Slytherin students were in, and Draco was one of them. Celeste was upset, but she knew she couldn't do much about it. She did send him a letter later on, asking him how he was and telling him to do good and not what's always expected of him.

Anyhow, when Tonks had come to visit her, Celeste had been shocked. Of course, Celeste had met Tonks before because of the Order meetings, but this time it was different. Tonks introduced herself as Lupin's girlfriend, and she told Celeste that she wanted to get to know her better, since she meant the world to Lupin.

"I know, it's a little weird for me to be here, but I wanted you to see that I don't have any bad intentions when it comes to Remus. I wanted you to see that I do love him, and that I want to be with him forever," Tonks said, and Celeste smiled,"I was just hoping you could help me get Remus to see that he deserves the love. He still doesn't trust himself completely. He doesn't believe that he deserves to be loved, but you and I both know he does. I think if we work together, he'd start believing he deserves to be loved. Maybe he'd let me love him as much as I hope he loves me."

Celeste had been shocked when she heard those words leave Tonks' mouth. Honestly, Celeste had a feeling that Lupin didn't believe he deserved to be happy and loved, but she also didn't want to believe it. Hearing Tonks tell her that she definitely seen it, and most likely heard it from Lupin herself, made Celeste realize that Lupin really did need reassurance and care.

"The four of us are going to go out on a double date. We'll make him realize that he means the world to us, and that he deserves more than he could ever realize." Celeste stated, and Tonks grinned.

"Thank you, Celeste. I can see why Remus cares so much for you and for Oliver. You two are amazing." Tonks replied, as Oliver came into the room.

"Angel is pretty amazing." He murmured, giving his girlfriend a grin.

"And you two are adorable together. I'm jealous." Tonks added, causing the couple to laugh.

Soon, Tonks left to tell Lupin they were going on a double date with Celeste and Oliver soon. The girls would have to set up an exact date, but Tonks knew it was one step closer to Lupin seeing himself for what he was actually worth, and not for what he felt like he was worth.

"What was going on?" Oliver asked, as he and Celeste began packing orders.

"Tonks asked me to help her make Moony realize he's loved and worth more than he could ever realize, instead of letting him hate and belittle himself anymore." Celeste replied, causing Oliver to frown.

"I hate that he does that," Oliver commented,"and I hate that you do that too." He added, making her look at him with wide eyes.

"What? Where did you get that idea?" She asked, causing him to sigh.

"I see it all the time, Celeste. You are always frowning when you look at yourself in the mirror. You don't ever believe anyone's compliments. You constantly think everything's your fault, when it's not," He answered, before he stopped what he was doing, grapped the girl's hands, and turned her towards him,"You mean everything to me. I love you just the way you are. To me, you're perfect, no matter how you think you look or how you dress. Not everything is your fault, and you need to start realizing that. I love you, and as long as I have you, I'm happy and I'm home. No matter what, you'll always have me, and I'll always love you." He stated, as he seen tears mist her eyes.

"I love you, Oli." She murmured, wrapping her arms tightly around her boyfriend.

He wanted her to be happy. As long as she was happy, that's all he worried about. He didn't care if he had to put on an entire parade just to see her smile. She was his life, his best friend, and he was always going to love her. Their lives were becoming more and more chaotic from everything going on, but they were happy to have each other.

Anyone with eyes could see just how much Celeste and Oliver loved each other. They were meant to be together, even if it had taken years for Oliver to man up and tell Celeste how he truly felt. As long as the two were together, they could beat the world and all the odds that were against them...
