"Some say the world will end in fire. Some say in ice. From what I've tasted of desire. I hold with those who favor fire." Aquila reads as she sat in the Malfoy mansion's living room. She closed her book and faced her aunt Cissa who was rocking the sleeping baby girl. "Aunt Cissy, where's everybody?"

"Harry went to the Quileut reservation with Ron and Hermione. Andromeda is fishing with Charlie. Draco hasn't arrived yet from MACUSA and the Cullens are hunting." Narcissa explained as she placed Delphini on her cot beside Teddy's, who is also fast asleep. "Now continue reading. You may be a hero and all but you can still fail English."

Aquila sighted. A night after they came back from Volterra, they told the family about the Volturi wanting to take care of Charlie and Bella, especially Bella. They also told the family how the Volturi wants Aquila to turn once the time is right. Most of the Cullens, Narcissa and Draco are very supportive. Harry was hesitant. Ron, Hermione, Andromeda and Rosalie seems to be against it but they do respect Aquila's decision.

Rosalie wanted her to have a human life where changes and possibilities are open. Ron and Hermione didn't want to lose their big sister. Andromeda wants what's best for Aquila. But they knew, Edward is Aquila's happiness now. That's what they wanted for Aquila, for her to be happy.

Aquila perked up after Harry entered with a smug smirk.

"What got you smiling, Harold?" Aquila asked with a suspicious glare on him.

"Oh nothing. Really. It's nothing." Harry said with a shrug.

"Har, that's what you said to McGonagall after we transfigured her desk into a little bed for cats." Aquila said with crossed arms.

"Yeah about that. Catch!" Harry shouted then threw a ball at Aquila's direction. Aquila, who didn't have any time to think, caught the ball which was unexpectedly an activated portkey.

Aquila was flung towards a place she wasn't expecting. She was standing on an endless field of tulips. A couple of meters away from where she's standing was Edward Cullen in all his glory with a boyish smirk and a romantic dinner table. The table and the surroundings were lit with candles and lamps. It wasn't that dark. Aquila believe it was twilight for the light softly glowed in the sky after the sun hid on the horizon. The sky was dancing with purple, pink and blue hues.

"What in Merlin's name is this?" Aquila asked, still bewildered as she walked towards Edward. She had seen beautiful displays of magic but those paled in comparison with the raw beauty nature and time displayed.

"A dinner date." Edward answered casually

"In the middle of nowhere?" Aquila asked with contempt

"We're not in the middle of nowhere. We're in the Netherlands." Edward answered matter of factly.

"Who planned this?"

"Me..." Aquila narrowed her eyes on him which made her relent. "and Alice...and Draco...and everyone..."

Edward gestured at the table filled with Aquila's favorite foods and a basket of bloodpops.

"I believe this is our most romantic date, my star." Edward whispered on her ear as he stood behind her and pulled out her chair for her to sit.

"More like romantic kidnapping dinner you planned, you prat." Aquila tried to sound irritated but her reddened cheeks seems to betray her making Edward chuckle. They started eating, having a little chat here and there until their topic randomly landed on disney movies. It was accidental, really. Alice suggested Aquila makes Delphi and Teddy watch some disney movies and they decided to pick Peter Pan because Teddy and Delphi squealed after seeing a flying boat. Now that's all they want to watch and Aquila was also hooked after watching it several times.

"Stop it! It's not funny!" she said, hitting Edward as he laugh at how sad Aquila's face after seeing Wendy and her siblings came back home as Peter leaves.

"Okay, okay. It's not. I just like seeing you angry. It's sexy." Aquila's eyes widened after hearing Edward's words. "Am I making you blush, Lady Black?" Edward asked as he leaned forward from the chair in front of Aquila.

"What if you are? What are you gonna do about it, Mr. Cullen?" she challenged, leaning forward to him.

"Well, I might just marry you, Lady Black."

Aquila wasn't expecting that. She sat back on her seat with eyes wide as saucers and jaw hanging open. Every time she called Edward Mr. Cullen, he'd always feel flustered and taken aback. But to have Edward looked composed, even having the strength to ask her such question with all seriousness isn't something she expected.

"Wh--what did you just say?" Aquila asked. Edward didn't answer her. Instead, he used his vampire speed to get to Aquila's side.

In a blink of an eye, Edward was kneeling beside Aquila Black with a beautiful square cut diamond ring adorned with smaller diamonds around it and around the golden band as well.

"Aquila Callisto Black, I can never thank you enough for saving me from myself, for teaching me how to love, for showing me that I am capable of loving and being love despite the fears and resentment I had towards my whole being. At first I thought our story would be similar to Peter Pan and Wendy. He would always come back to her even though all he could do was to watch her live a normal life without him after every adventure they'd do together. I thought our love would only live within our borrowed time. But you chose me. You chose to stay on our Neverland. You chose to be damned with me. And I would love to be damned for all eternity if that means I get to be doomed with you. Will you, Aquila Callisto Black bestow upon me the greatest honor of being your husband?" Edward asked as his venom filled eyes never left Aquila's teary ones.

"Who am I to deny the greatest love of my life the sweetest yes he deserve?" Aquila asked with a single tear escaping from her eyes making Edward jump from his place and spin her around.

"You said yes! Wait, its a yes right? Was that really a yes? Are you--" his rambling was cut off by a kiss from Aquila.

The kiss was sweet at first, then it became deeper, more passionate. He expressed his eternal love for her and she made sure he feels her acceptance of his whole being, flaws and all. As their lips parted from each other, their eyes met, each one filled with content and adoration.

"It will always be a yes."

And with that, they saw the beautiful twilight sky filled with the explosion of beautiful colors. Fireworks. And not ordinary ones. From a distance were the Weasley Twins, the golden trio, the Slytherin gang , the Weasleys, the remaining members of the Black family, Professor Mcgonagall and Aquila's Gryffindor friends celebrating the obviously successful proposal of Edward Cullen to their very own Aquila Black. They decided to celebrate from a distance as they let the two lovers who are very much occupied with each other bask on the happiness they currently feel.

"My queen is engaged!" Blaise wailed as he full on cry on Pansy's embrace.

"You blithering idiot. Why are you crying?" Pansy asked, still trying to fight her own tears.

"He's an idiot that's why he's crying." Theodor said.

"I don't even know why I'm friends with you." Draco said as he took a swing on his firewhiskey. The most precious girl in his life is engaged.

"Well, at least he can protect her." Ron shrugged.

"He definitely should." Neville said as he thought of how he would pull the Gryffindor sword to chop Edward into pieces once he hurt Aquila.

"Or he'd have to face us." Seamus said, already planning ways to blow up the vampire if he dares make Aquila cry.

"Shove off, you lot! I'm Aquila's favorite!" Fred yelled.

"No. I'm Aquila's favorite!"

"I'm her favorite because I'm the eldest." Bill pitched in.

"No. It's me because I'm the smartest." Percy declared.

"Who's gonna tell them Charlie is her favorite because he let her pet a dragon?" Mr. Weasley asked.

"No one." Mrs. Weasley said to her husband with a pointed look.

"Should we invite Viktor Krum?" Ginny asked her girlfriend.

"Yes, yes. Viktor is quite good friends with Willa." Luna agreed.

"And Susan. Don't forget Susan." Hermione added. The three said girls already planning the wedding.

"I already have some designs for her dress." Narcissa told her sister.

"Perfect. I know just what jewelries she should wear." Andromeda nods.

"I'll be the godfather of their first child." Ron told Harry.

"Tough luck mate. I'm her godbrother so it's only reasonable for me to be the godfather." Harry argued.

"But Edward is a vampire." Rosalie pitched in.

"They can always adopt." Harry shrugged.

"She's happy now, Sirius, Luna, Regulus. After all of your sacrifices, she's finally happy. Your little girl is finally happy. I'll make sure she stays that way." Minerva McGonagall whispered as she looked up to the sky. She swear she saw a silver crow flying from above.
