The stunned Weasley group stared at the new group. Molly rushed over to Fred and pulled him into a bone crushing hug. Fred struggled a bit and tried to joke, "Mum, cut it out or I won't make it to my prescribed time of death." Molly let go but was wiping her eyes. "So do I buy it saving tons of lives and become a national war hero." Fred was still trying to joke.
"Actually." Ted said, "You do and you are a hero, you and my parents." He walked over to Remus and Tonks and held out his hand and introduced himself, "Ted Remus Lupin, I know we have met before but I don't remember it." Remus shook his hand and Tonks hugged him. The three of them just stood there grinning at each other.
Finally Charlie said, "What about me?"
Everyone in the new group chuckled as Lily Potter said, "You make it through fine, you're just too busy with the dragons to ever 'meet a nice girl and settle down' as Grandma is always saying."
George picking up the lighter mood and wanting to give Fred time to get it together ask, "So we know Ginny and Harry get together, as well as Bill and Fleur what about me and who do Ron and Percy trick into marrying them?"
Ron glared at George and then Rose said, "You marry Angelina Johnson, Percy marries Audrey Meadows and my Mum was not tricked into marrying Dad, she did it because she loves him and he keeps her from getting to serious, right Mum" she said as she turned to Hermione.
Hermione blushed, smiled and nodded, as Ron's brothers gaped at her and Ron grabbed her hand. Trying to give Hermione and Ron a break Fleur asked, "Anyone hungry, I think it's getting close to dinner time. Girls lets help Molly in the kitchen we have a few extra mouths to feed." All the girls from both groups trouped towards the kitchen.
After a few steps Tonks tripped and Molly said, "Dora, I have more than enough help in the kitchen, why don't you stay and visit with your son." Tonks smiled gratefully knowing how bad it would be for her to be in the kitchen.
The males left from both groups, except Remus, started setting up tables in the garden because there was no way that group was fitting in the Burrow's kitchen. Several of the younger girls came out and set the tables. It wasn't long before dinner was on the table and everyone sat down to eat. Families sat together at the table getting to know one another Percy's kids sat with Fred and Charlie. Harry and Ron found out that they are both Aurors. Hermione works for the Department of Law Enforcement. Ginny is a stay at home mum but played quidditch professionally before she had kids. George kept the joke shop going and Percy was still at the ministry. Arthur was retired and had been asked to be Minister of Magic at one point, but he had declined. Bill was still at Gringotts, Charlie was still with the Dragons and Fleur only worked at Gringotts during the school year since all her children were at school.
During dinner Molly and Arthur were holding hands looking over their family. It was a bitter sweet moment for them. While everyone else had moved past the deaths and enjoyed themselves, they were thinking about Fred. How could they make it past the loss of one of their children?
When Fred caught them staring at him he got up went to his parents and hugged them and whispered, "Don't worry about this for now, there will be plenty of time for that later, just enjoy the kids while they are here."
They spent several hours talking after dinner was through. Finally Molly noticed Lily asleep on Harry's lap. He was holding the child with such a look of love and satisfaction on his face and Ginny and James were each leaning on a shoulder with Al leaning on Ginny. It was so beautiful Molly thought she just might cry. Before she could say anything someone new came into the Burrow's wards with a pop.
Lily woke up and with the light from several wands she was the first to react to the new visitors, "Daddy!" she jump off Harry's lap and ran toward the new comers.
James yelled, "Lily, wait you have to ask one of the questions." Lily skidded to a halt and asked Ron, "What did Uncle George turn your teddy bear into when you were four?"
The new Ron answered, "A spider, and it was sooooo gross."
Lily giggled, "Ok, Daddy, where was your bedroom before you were eleven."
The younger Harry blanched at the question and the older Harry shot him an apologetic look before he answered, "Cupboard under the stairs." As Lily took out again and threw herself at her father, the rest of the Weasleys stared at the younger Harry.
Ginny demanded, "What did he mean by that?"
The younger Harry couldn't talk but the older Harry said, "That was where the Dursleys put me from the time I arrived on their door step until my eleventh birthday when they realized the wizarding world was watching. Don't worry about it too much Ginny, in a few years someone mysteriously leaves a ton of Wheezes for them to stumble across. Took the ministry ages to clean it all up and no one was ever caught, with the owl order service any of my enemies could have done it."
"Brilliant!" Ginny, Fred and George said at the same time.
Hugo jumped up and ran to the older Ron and said, "Dad this has been great, when we go back in time again can we go to when you're my age? Oh, or maybe the founders time, or to Egypt when they are making mummies."
"Easy tiger," Ron said, "I don't think we'll be doing this again. We'll just go home and try to get out of trouble with your mother, grandmother and all your Aunts." He looked to the others and said, "I wish we could leave you the memory of them coming here. It would make it so much nicer when we get home."
"You aren't in trouble Ron, I am." Harry chuckled, "I made the portkey out of a time turner and sent all our children nineteen years into the past. I put them in danger and will be the one killed if we don't return them with every single hair still on their heads."
"True" Ron said, "But I always manage to catch the fallout on this kind of thing."
