Voltaic Falling

48

After the battle, the Weasley Family apparated to the burrow, opening some firewhiskey in hopes of celebrating. Beatrice despite dying and coming back to life was happy she was surrounded by her family. 

It had dawned upon her. Narcissa, Andromeda, Draco, and her were the only ones from the Black family line to remain alive. She knew that she wanted solace and comfort with her family, so she would try to be close with them. Narcissa had saved her from torture, and Draco would sometimes come and talk to her in the cell she was placed. Their allegiance was askew because of Lucius, and she couldn't blame Narcissa or Draco for trying to remain safe. 

Fred was already lolling his head, dramatically insisting that if he had remained dead then the biggest prankster and jokester would cease to exist. This had earned disapproving glares from both Weasley's parents and a heated argument with George. 

She was laying her head in Bill's chest as everyone soon dazed off to sleep. The only night owls that remained were them and Charlie who sat across from them, dancing a Romanian ballad off beat. 

The duo laughed at his antics. Charlie suddenly spewed out, surprising both the curse breaker and the potioneer, 

"Bill, you pedo, I just realized that when our Trissie Black was in first year, you were already in your seventh year. I swear sometimes you don't even notice that gap with our Tris being so grown up already"

"Shut up you tosspot, I'm 21 and Bill is 26 still, its not that bad. At least I'm not into bestiality with Norberta", she replied dryly. 

Bill roared in laughter as Charlie sputtered and choked in a drunken giggle. He stood up clumsily and crashed into the room that belonged to Bill and him. 

"Don't you even dare to have sex in this room or Saints help me I will.... tell Remus", he drunkenly said from the frame of the door. 

The couple giggled and let Charlie leave, making the pair to their own devices. Bill tugged the sleeve of her sweater, signaling them to go outside. 

In the chill air, her body gravitated toward her husband's, seeping in his warmth and comfort. 

"So, I was thinking.. I know this is soon, but I don't want to wait anymore, Tris. I want a lifetime with you. I want us to grow old and smelly together, and enjoy watching our children and grandchildren. With everything that went down yesterday, holding you limp in my hands made me realize, there is no one I want but you. You are my everything, and I'd be honored if you would like to start a family with me", he said. 

She lifted a hand to his cheek, where he pressed his face into her calloused hand. 

"I want you, Will. I want everything with you. When I decided to die, I knew out of everyone if would hurt you the most, but I would rather have you alive than dead. I knew the sacrifice would hurt you, and I am so sorry that I ever thought to selfishly. I love you Bill, and I want to have everything with you, even now if you'd like, a family", she replied. 

"I don't want you to feel forced. I want you to decide. It is your body. If you want to bear my children, I would do it when the time is right for you. I won't decide upon your body. It is only yours to have, not mine"

"I know. When I said I wanted everything with you Bill, I also meant your children. I want this Bill, I want it with you and only you. I love you that much. Where are we going?"

"To the Willow. I used to come here to think and look at the stars at night. Do you remember in Potterwatch where I left you the message; 'To the stars who listen- and the dreams that are answered'. My dreams were answered. I asked the stars for someone who would understand me, for someone to love me and be willing to follow the path to the light with me. The stars listened. Not even two days later and I saw you here for the tournament. I remembered I've never soon someone so beautiful and passionate as you. I remember seeing you and just feeling like nothing mattered, as it gravity pulled me towards you".
