“Look, I don’t know if ‘soul mates’ exist. I don’t even know if true love exists.”
“… oh.”
“No, no, I mean— I don’t know if it exists, but if it did, if it does, this must be it, right? Or maybe this is something even better.

Ted Tonks proposes to Andromeda Black.
--
Ted Tonks looked around Rosa's Tea Shop and slid his arm across Andromeda Black's shoulders with a satisfied sigh. "Remember our first date here? We sat right over there." He pointed with his free hand towards a table in the corner, currently occupied by an elderly woman wearing a wistful expression.
Andromeda glanced at the older woman and felt a pang in her heart. She leaned into Ted's affectionate embrace, but when she looked up at him her smile was more snarky than sweet. "I remember. You know, I only said yes to piss off my mother.”
Ted just chuckled. "Ouch, Dromeda. You get too much pleasure out of needling me."
She grinned for real at that, thinking of the days when he'd called her Andy, just like everyone else. Back when he’d just been her Ministry coworker, Edward – from Hufflepuff, of all the ridiculous houses. Andromeda may not have had the ambition or vengeful streak of the average Slytherin, but she had little interest in frivolity or being seen as nice. And she certainly never would've pictured herself with someone as genuine and kind as Ted Tonks from Hufflepuff.
And now it had been a year.
