"What do you want for graduation?" Lena asked, leaning against Remus with his arm wrapped around her waist as they walked around Hogsmeade near the pond.
"A diploma," he said, an impish look in his eyes.
Lena rolled her eyes. "I unfortunately don't have the power to give that to you."
"What? But that's the only reason I'm with you!" Remus teased.
"I'm pretty sure there's a few other reasons," Lena grinned.
Remus shook his head and looked up, pretending to think. "None spring to mind."
Lena laughed and playfully elbowed him. "You're lucky I love you."
Remus grinned and squeezed Lena's side. "I know. I love you too."
"I know." Lena smirked, but couldn't hide her blush.
"But, really," Lena implored, examining his hands that were littered with little scars, "What do you want?"
"I dunno, Lee," Remus said, his fingers finding his way to her brown tresses to play with them. "You don't need to get me anything."
"Yeah, but I want to," Lena said softly.
"I will love whatever it is that you are getting me," Remus said, standing still and gently turning Lena to look at him.
"Are you sure?" Lena asked, looking up at him and wrapping her arms around his neck.
"Positive," Remus said, leaning down to kiss her.
"Holy shit," he said, stopping before he kissed his girlfriend.
"What?" Lena asked, curious as always.
Remus spun her around by the waist so she could see what she saw.
"Holy shit," she echoed.
They were looking at something that could be from a scene in a film. Across the pond, there was a couple standing amongst the trees. And then suddenly, one half of the couple was no longer standing. The man kneeled on one knee in front of his girlfriend, whose arms and hands moved up to cover her mouth as her boyfriend pulled an object out his pocket. Remus and Lena couldn't hear anything the couple was saying because they were too far away, but they had an idea as the girl nodded her head vigorously and the boy stood and wrapped his arms around her.
"Oh my God!" Lena squealed. "I can't believe they're getting married!"

"So, Frank and Alice are getting married?" Regulus asked.
News of their engagement spread around the school like wildfire.
It didn't help that Frank's mother sent Howler's when Frank and Alice didn't respond to her wedding ideas quickly enough.
"July 15th."
"That's quite soon," Regulus said. "Do you think she's pregnant?"
