     As summer vacation approached, Topaz found herself at a crossroads. Her relationship with Severus Snape had deepened, and their love for each other was undeniable. With Dumbledore's approval and their shared commitment to the fight against the dark forces, the prospect of marriage had entered their discussions.

One warm evening, as they strolled through the lush gardens of Hogwarts, Snape's hand found Topaz's. He turned to her with a tender expression. "Topaz, I can't imagine my life without you. With Dumbledore's blessing and the trials we've faced, would you do me the honor of becoming my wife?"

Topaz's heart swelled with emotion, and she looked into Snape's eyes, her own filled with love. "Severus, I love you with all my heart. Yes, I'll marry you."

The prospect of their marriage was both thrilling and daunting. They knew that Topaz would soon be asked to join the ranks of the Death Eaters as a double agent or remain under Snape's protection when Voldemort inevitably returned. It was a dangerous path, but one they knew was necessary for the greater good.

As they discussed their future, they made a pact to protect each other and ensure that no harm would befall their loved ones. Topaz understood the sacrifices she would have to make for those she cared about, and she was prepared to face whatever challenges lay ahead.

However, with Topaz nearing her fourteenth birthday, her father, Albus Dumbledore, grew restless. Having a child involved in the Order of the Phoenix was a risk he was hesitant to take, even with the exceptional abilities and wisdom she had displayed.

The summer vacation brought new adventures and experiences. Topaz stayed with the Weasley family, who had become like a second family to her. She joined them on a trip to the Quidditch World Cup, where the excitement and energy of the magical sporting event filled the air.

Yet, the shadow of the dark forces loomed, and Topaz couldn't shake the feeling that the peaceful moments they were enjoying were fleeting. As she returned to the Weasley's cozy home, she couldn't help but wonder about the challenges and changes that lay ahead.
    
       The Quidditch World Cup was a spectacle to behold. The Weasleys' enthusiasm for the sport was infectious, and the match between the national teams of Ireland and Bulgaria was nothing short of thrilling. As Topaz watched the skilled Quidditch players soar through the air, she couldn't help but feel a sense of unity and camaraderie that transcended the growing darkness in the wizarding world.

Once the match concluded with Ireland's victory, the Weasleys and Topaz returned home, where talk of the upcoming winter wedding filled the air. With Dumbledore's blessing, Snape and Topaz began planning their special day, which was to take place at Hogwarts just before Christmas.

The prospect of their winter wedding brought a sense of hope and joy, despite the impending challenges. It was a symbol of their love and commitment, a testament to their unwavering bond. Topaz was determined to include all those who had become important in her life, from the Weasleys and her Uncle Kama to the Malfoys and the Schamanders, and her closest friends and allies, such as Uncle Aberforth and Remus Lupin.

They wanted to celebrate their union in a grand way, surrounded by their loved ones. And it was also a subtle message to those who opposed their relationship, a declaration that their love was stronger than any prejudice or hatred.

As the summer days drifted by, filled with laughter, love, and the promise of a bright future, Topaz and Snape continued to prepare for their wedding. It was a beacon of light in the midst of the gathering storm, a reminder that love and unity had the power to overcome even the darkest of times.
