A:N/ yes some of the characters e.g. Mrs Weasley act more like Mrs Bennet and that woman of this time period had their dowry and they where given a proportion of money every year even after marriage. Also this was really hard work so hope you enjoy !oh and to fit in with both books the weasleys age and order has changed Ron-Jane Fred and George- -Lizzy Percy-Mary Bill- Lydia Charlie- Kitty and Ginny is a freshJ
It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single woman in position of good looks and accomplishment, must be in want of a rich attractive husband.
"My dear Mr Weasley have you heard that Netherfield Park is let at last?"
Mr Weasley did not reply because he had not.
"But it is, For Mrs Longbottom has just been here and she told me all about it."
Mr Weasley made no answer.
"Do you not want to know who has taken it?" Cried his wife impatiently.
"You want to tell me and I have no objection to hearing it."
For Mrs Weasley that was invitation enough.
"Why my dear, you must know Mrs Longbottom says that Netherfield is taken by a young woman of great beauty and fortune!"
"What is her name?"
"Granger"
"Married or single?"
"Oh! Single, my dear to be sure! A single witch of large fortune four or five thousand a year. What a fine thing for our girls!"
"How so how can it affect them?"
"My dear Mr Weasley" Replied his wife "How can you be so tiresome! You must know I am thinking of her marrying one of them."
"Is that her design in settling here?"
"design! Nonsense, how can you talk so! But it is very likely that she may fall in love with one of them and therefore you must visit her as soon as the time as comes!"
"I really don't see the point" he huffed "You may go if you like send the boys if you want, or go yourself!"
"But you must go!"
"There is no must about it!"
"Think of your children and how wonderful it would be for them if Miss Granger was to fall for one of them! Although I don't doubt that Sir Potter And Lady Evans wont be determined to go for their son's account!"
"You worry to much, I dare say Miss Granger will be thrilled to see you as much as the Potter's. I will send a few lines by you to assure her of my consent to her having her pick of our boys. Although I must put a good word in for Fred and I Daresay George!"
"You will not! They are trouble the pair of them besides they do not posses Ron's charm and looks, nor the brains of Bill!"
"In your mind my dear however I differ in opinion when you say high I say low. They are more quick witted than their brothers and good humoured enough not to over do it. Now my dear if you do not mind I shall retire now for I have found the most marvellous book on these things muggles call horses. Strange beings aren't they. Good night dear"
But as he lent in to kiss her good night she moved her head for she was far to annoyed with him now, he chuckled softly and walked out.
