Seemingly Poetic (Bill Weasley story)

Chapter Forty Six

Some more months had passed, only a couple, but it was finally time for Bill and Christabel to get married. The wedding was going to be full of Order members and aurors, that would protect everyone at the wedding. They just hoped that nothing bad would happen that would destroy their happy day.

Hermione and Ginny helped Christabel get ready for the wedding, as Mrs. Weasley finished preparing everything. Amara was with Sirius, since Sirius had to be Padfoot the entire time. Even though the Order knew he was a good guy, some of the aurors did not, and they needed to protect Sirius from Azkaban.

As a wedding gift, Christabel and Bill were given Shell Cottage. Christabel didn't want to leave Sirius, but the man told her it'd be safer for her, Bill, and Amara if they lived there. They'd be away from all the danger, and Sirius planned to let them know if he ever needed them. Honestly, it was a plan that worked, and Christabel agreed to it with little argument.

Anyhow, once Christabel was ready, she was walked down the isle by Remus. He had been a good friend to her, especially once she had fully moved into Grimmauld Place. He was one of the first people to accept her, even though she had the Malfoy name. He didn't discriminate, and for that she was glad. She believed that he didn't discriminate, because he hated when people discriminated him.

"Christabel Malfoy, you are my forever. I promise to love and cherish you every day, until the day that I die. You are my world, and I thank Merlin every day for you. You gave me a beautiful little girl to love as my own, and I don't think I could ever be happier," Bill smiled,"I love you," He said, causing Christabel's heart to swell.

"Bill Weasley, you are my best friend," They heard the twins scoff,"you make me happier than I've ever been in my entire life. If it wasn't for you, I don't think I'd ever have a happy ending. Thank you for taking in and loving Amara as your own. We are both so thankful for you, and we will love you every day," She stated, giving his hands a squeeze.

Soon, the couple were married, and they were able to celebrate their happiness together. They danced together, and with quite a few others, before their happiness came to a halt. Death Eaters showed up and began to attack the people at the wedding.

The wedding was full of Order members and aurors, so they were all able to hold their own. Harry, Hermione, and Ron disappeared like everyone planned. They were going on a search for horcruxes, which happened to be the things that were keeping You-Know-Who alive.

Once Bill and Christabel were sure that Harry, Hermione, and Ron were safe, they took their daughter and apparated away. They went straight to Shell Cottage, where luckily some of their stuff had already been sent. Mrs. Weasley had made sure that they had stuff in Shell Cottage, since they had a feeling they'd be hiding there sooner than planned.

Shell Cottage wasn't tiny, but it definitely wasn't the size of the Burrow either. It was the perfect size for the small family. It even had an extra room for incase they had another child. Christabel wasn't sure if they'd actually stay in Shell Cottage for long, but for now, it was good enough to live in.

Christabel and Bill spent a lot of their time outside with Amara, since there were charms and spells up around the property that protected them from being seen. Amara loved the water near the property, even though it wasn't quite warm enough for her to go swimming or anything. She just enjoyed playing by the water, and trying to skip rocks, even though it definitely wasn't the easiest thing to do.

Bill had been the one to teach Amara how to skip rocks, or kind of skip them. Christabel had never learned anything like that, since her parents hated letting her play outside. She wasn't allowed to have fun like that, especially once she was old enough to attend Hogwarts.

Bill tried to show Christabel how to skip rocks, but she was horrible at it. After a few tries she just gave up. She was tired of looking like a clown when trying to learn something people learned when they were children. She didn't want to learn, not after having so many failed attempts, but she did have fun watching Amara somewhat skip rocks.

Having precious moments like this not be interrupted my Death Eaters was amazing. Christabel thought their lives were going to slowly be enveloped by the Dark Lord and his followers, but it seemed they didn't quite have to deal with that yet. If the Dark Lord won, that would be when they really needed to worry.

Christabel and Bill enjoyed their family life while they could. They spent days with Amara, playing with her and teaching her new things. They'd spend nights with each other, talking about what they hope would happen in the future or just simply enjoying each other's company. It was something they both enjoyed, and they hoped that it wouldn't be taken away from them.

Life wasn't guaranteed, especially with the Dark Lord rising to power so quickly. Things were falling out of place, but at least they had each other. It was a scary world to live in, and living itself seemed scary. They didn't know what to expect each day, but they let the day pass as it came.

They tried not to worry about it too much. They wouldn't enjoy life if they worried about the future. Their wasn't too much to enjoy but being together and taking part in the little things made life worth while. It just took a good idea to see past the bad things that surrounded their lives...
