Time

"I'm worried, Sophie... h-how do I look?" Leon asked standing in front of the full length mirror in a neat pair of dress robes. Sophia came to stand beside him in her creamy yellow long dress, her hair flowing out.

"You look absolutely dashing, Leon," Sophia said with a smile plastered on her face, Leon turned to face her letting out a deep breath with a grin. Sophia fixed up his tie a bit and made sure his clothing was impeccable. "Don't worry, Leon. She's a wonderful girl, I couldn't agree with her more... I can't believe you're getting married!"

"I know..." Leon breathed with a blushing smile "I can't believe it either..." they smiled to each other. It had been a month since they had found one another and after her finding Fred everything just snowballed as the whole family appeared to see if it was true. It was the most saddest, most up lifting reunion imaginable, and of course they wanted to hear her story.

"And yeah... That's when I saw Leon..." Sophia finished as they bundled around her in the Weasley's Dining room "Tell me... Tell me what happened after I... left," she said carefully. Everyone's head went down as they remembered a dark time they hated to relive.

"We just grieved..." George answered as he sat next to her not looking. "I couldn't believe what was happening..."

The Year 1998

Sophia's eyes closed and fell limp beside George after she spoke her final words. Fleur gave a high pitched sort of whimper and broke down crying, Bill took her in his arms as he cried as well. Molly couldn't believe it and neither did Arthur or anyone else see it coming, how could she die? Nothing felt as surreal as that moment. What would they say to Leon? How would he cope?

But before they all could linger on the thoughts longer, another fight broke out before Voldemort was revealed. Harry then soon after defeated him and the Weasley family soon found out that they had also lost Charlie. The weight of that death was ten times harder on them.

The next morning they reached Muriel's and even before they could reach the door Leon was running out of the house to greet them.

"Mama, Papa... Where is Sophie?" he asked and Molly broke down crying again whilst Arthur tried to hold his back down. Leon looked at the pair confused as the other family members were at home discussing Charlie's arrangements. Arthur knelt before Leon and put a hand on his shoulder but he shrugged it off in panic and stepped back. "Where's Sophie?" he demanded but all Arthur could do was shake his head. "No..." Leon breathed staring at the two with panic and hate "You're lying! YOU'RE LYING!" he screamed before running past them and bolting down the street.

"Leon! LEON!" Molly called after him but he didn't turn back and Arthur put a comforting hand on her shoulder

"He'll come back when he's ready..." he said with a sad face and they retired into Muriel's home waiting for Leon's return

Leon didn't come back until the next morning after falling to his knees from exhaustion, he finally found his way back home.

"Oh Leon..." Molly burst through when Leon opened the door, she hugged his dirt clad body and he response was delayed. He stood there until he wrapped his arms around her and cried "I'm here, Leon... I'm here for you..."

"I want Sophie back..." he mumbled through his tears, the realisation of her never coming back hit him and he could not stop crying.

When they arrived at the Burrow, Kingsley was there to greet them.

"Hello Kingsley, is there anything we can do for you?" Arthur greeted with a shake of his hand

"Hello Arthur, Molly... So this Leon?" he asked and Leon looked up at him

"I am..." he mumbled back and Kingsley offered a sad smile

"I'm sorry for your losses, everyone. I offer my condolences,"

"Thank you, Kingsley. And congratulations on becoming Minister," Molly answered and he smiled

"Thank you, I will do my best to change their ways,"

"That's fantastic to hear," Arthur beamed

"Shall we continue this conversation inside?" Kingsley offered and they all walked in, their family in the Living room. "Leon... I believe this belongs to you now, by the Will of Sophie," he said pulling a pouch from his jacket pocket and pulling a necklace out that Sophia had always worn. Leon got up straight away and took the necklace when Kingsley dropped it in his hand.

"Thank you..." he whispered looking at it before putting it on himself the pendant fell to his stomach.

"What would you like to happen to Leon?" Kingsley asked "Whose care will he be under?"

"Sophie wished to leave him with us," Bill spoke and Fleur smiled down at him as he looked up

"Are you sure? I mean- a child alre-" Molly started but Bill cut her off

"We wouldn't want it any other way..." Fleur interrupted gently and Leon walked over to them hugging

"It is sorted then, Leon is now in your care. The story that will be told is that he was a war orphan... an unfortunate muggle family-"

"Sorry to interrupt but, I believe Leon is capable of studying at Hogwarts," George interjected and Kingsley looked at him confused, Molly seconded the statement

"Very well, if you believe so. If that is not the case when the time comes, he is a squib. From a wizarding family," Kingsley said and they all nodded in understanding

The following day they retrieved Charlie and Sophia from Hogwarts, Fred meanwhile was in St. Mungo's as he still had not woken up from his coma. While the Weasley family were finalizing Charlie's funeral, Leon wondered off to Sophia's body. He knelt before her and gazed at her unmoving form, from her pale face right down to the blood soaked pants. Leon started to cry silently and held onto the necklace that hung around his neck.

"I hate you Sophie... You said you would come back. You broke your promise..." he whispered to her and when Sophia's form didn't reply in anyway he continued to cry. Leon took off his necklace and put it on her "It yours..." he cried "You should keep it," he said but then something completely out of the ordinary happened a light surrounded her and Leon's eyes widened.

"Mama! Fleur! Papa!" he screamed in fright and the family flooded to the room and stared amazed at the sight.

"What did you do, Leon?" Molly questioned exasperatedly pulling him to her protectively

"I did nothing, I swear," he pleaded and they watched as Sophia's body healed. Everyone held their breath in high hopes for Sophia's well being but it was soon lost as the glow began to recede inside the necklace itself, slowly the body was disappearing.

"What is happening?" Bill asked in amazement as he watched the scene before him, Leon stood in terror

"No! Sophia!" he screamed but there was nothing they could do, this magic was beyond their comprehension, beyond anything they've ever experienced. Then just as the last of Sophia disappeared the necklace presented itself to Leon, the ancient inscription translated 'Necklace Haros, Carrier of Lost Souls,' before Leon could question the writing it faded back to the ancient language it used to be causing Leon to believe what he saw was just a hallucination. From that day on, nothing could separate Leon from that necklace.

Leon grew up in Shell Cottage and later became a student at Hogwarts much to the delight of the Weasley family. He graduated and further studied in France where he met his bride Penelope Bennet. He was the greatest older brother to Fleur's and Bill's children and the most generous cousin that the Weasley's and Potter children could ask for.

The Year 2011

Sophia slowly walked Leon down the aisle and kissed him, looking up at him proudly before sitting down. A few moments later, the music strung and the beautiful blushing bride was sent down the aisle. She had never seen Leon as happy as she did that day. Through out the whole ceremony Sophia couldn't contain her tears of joy as she cried alongside Molly and Fleur.

"I now declare you, bonded for life..." the man announced and Leon kissed his wife chastely yet full of love before walking down the aisle again as people applauded and threw leprechaun gold that sparkled in the air.

"Doesn't it make you want to get married anytime soon?" Fred whispered in her Sophia's ear as she wiped the last of her tears. He embraced her from behind as they watched the newlyweds completely disappear.

"I'm perfectly happy the way we are Fred." Sophia replied genuinely with a smile

"I don't know... but maybe we could get married... have kids..." he suggested

"I've told you before though... the chances for me having children is... highly unlikely..." Sophia mumbled back rubbing her stomach where the debris ran through her almost a year ago.

"It's okay, Sophie, I don't need children to complete my life... I have you,"

"You... are... so cheesy!"

"You love it..." Fred smiled and so did she, they fell into a comfortable silence before Fred turned her around "Raphaëlle Sophia Isobel Elian, when I first met you, you were my age. I'm now 13 years older and there would be nothing in the world I want more than to have you for myself and know that I am definitely the only one for you... Because you are the one for me. The only one... Marry me, Sophia. You are my life, my world, my everything and I love you. Be my wife..."

Sophia couldn't help but grin up at him "Was that a demand or were you asking me?" she teased and he pulled back grinning as well

"You're killing me here!"

"Yes! My answer is yes!" she yelled before he could jump to conclusions. He spun around looking at her. They kissed passionately on the street uncaring because after such a long time they were finally going to get what they've always wanted. To be together peacefully.
