Christmas, 1995
12 Grimmauld Place

ginny and hermoine are helping me with hair. i wore my mother's dress, it's carmine red colored dress. it's a halter mermaid long dress. i wore the carina constellation necklace and my mother's diamond earrings.

"you're stunning, seph. i hope you'll have a great time with max" ginny said and i smiled.

"thank you, ginny. and thank you hermoine for your help as well." i said and she smiled.

"you're all set, shall we see his reaction?" hermoine said and i stood up.

i stepped out of the room and when i went downstairs, my dad, padad, and max stared at me with awe in their eyes.

i smiled at them and i could see padad's tears.

"c'mon, padad..." i approached and hugged him.

"you really are your mother's copy." he said and hugged me tightly.

he broke the hug and i hug my dad.

"look at you, you grow up too fast..." he said.

after that moment, i looked at max. he's still not moving.

"shall we head out?" i asked and padad lightly smack his shoulder.

"pretty boy, my daughter will melt" said by padad and i chuckled.

"sorry... you're getting more and more beautiful" he said and gave me a bouquet of lily of the valley.

we head out and went to westminster, london. i grabbed his shoulder and we head to a restaurant he reserved for us. we had a light dinner earlier, since mrs. weasley prepared us a feast.

when we went inside, he pulled a chair for me. i sat down and gave me the menu.

i ordered a pasta, and he ordered a steak.

"i'll take you to a much fancier restaurant next time" he said and i smiled.

"i don't mind if it's fancy or not. all that matters is you spending time with me" i said and he was flustered. he looked away and i giggled because i saw his red ears.

when our dinner arrived, he gave me a bite of his steak. i also made him taste my pasta.

"it's been a year since you allowed me to court you, it feels surreal that you're in front of me right now." he said.

"time surely flies fast." i said and he smiled.

"i still remembered how you're doing your best to ignore me at the hallways" he said and i chuckled.

"oh i'm sorry, i was surely annoyed with your presence. cannot pinpoint why" he laughed.

"well i bugged you a lot back then, remember when you're applying to be a prefect?"

"oh i cannot forget that. you told me they will not choose me because of my record that's why i stormed out" i said and we laughed.

"we also fought when we were at fairford" he said.

ahhh, yes...
