Chapter 11
The next morning Jackie awoke to a completely new but enjoyable feeling she felt completely surrounded by love and the feeling of secureness and belonging as she lay wrapped in her fiancés arms. She still couldn't believe it George Weasley was her fiancé she'd been dreaming of this moment for a while dreaming of the day that she would get to marry him. Not only had they got married but she had given herself to him completely and she didn't regret it she knew that she was going to be with George forever.
"Morning beautiful" George interrupted her from her thoughts as he looked down as he awoke and looked down at his bride to be smiling.
"Morning handsome" Jackie giggled as she smiled back up at him. George took her hand in his entwining their fingers before looking down at the ring admiringly.
"It looks so beautiful on you I think your mum and dad would have been so proud" George said as he smiled at her.
"It's my mother's ring?" Jackie gasped as she looked at him. George nodded and tears came to Jackie's eyes.
"Oh wow it's beautiful" Jackie was smiling as tears fell down her cheeks and she closed her eyes momentarily as she thought of her parents. "How did you manage to get this for me?"
"Lupin gave it to me it was in your father's room at Grimmauld Place Sirius and he had often spoke about it apparently, he said that he'd planned on you having it since the day you were born" George told her tears ran down her face and George kissed each one away gently.
"You did all this for me and you even asked him to marry me oh George I love you" Jackie told him.
"I love you too as much as I want to stay here with you forever though like this" George wiggled his eyebrows at her seductively. "We have a port key to catch shortly"
"We have a little bit of time left before then though" Jackie smiled back at him as she kissed him passionately rolling them over and pinning him down to the bed.
Meanwhile back at the Burrow the whole family was gathered on Fred's request at the Burrow on his insistence that a surprise engagement party was to be held. At that very moment in time only four people in the Burrow knew of the reasons why and although Molly was happy to cater and throw a celebration party she was eager to find out why.
"Fred will you please tell me what is going on?" She insisted Arthur he knew what was happening but had kept it from his wife went to walk away in hope that she would not find out he was aware of what was going on.
"Arthur Weasley do not leave please do not tell me you know what is going on!" Molly exclaimed as she looked at her husband expectedly. Arthur shrugged at her and let out a weak smile.
"Fine mother I'll tell everyone now what is going on as I am guessing that the happy couple will be back anytime now anyways" Fred announced as the gathered crowd looked on expectedly all apart from Jessica, Arthur and Remus who were the only three in attendance who did not know what was going on.
"Come on Fred don't keep us in suspense" Lee laughed.
"Yeah I want to know what's happening and why aren't Jackie and George here" Alicia added.
"George took Jackie to Paris in order to ask her to marry him" Fred informed everyone grinning broadly. A series of gasps escaped from the gathered girls and then Molly's sobs broke through the air as a rush of excitement ran through the house.
"Oh my baby all grown up and getting married how exciting" Molly sobbed Arthur took his wife into his arms and stroked her back softly. "He's flown the nest Arthur our boy he's replacing me" Molly sobbed.
"There there Molly Jackie isn't trying to replace you" Arthur said rubbing her back.
"She isn't Molly she will try and be like you and I'm sure should she have said yes that she is going to be thrilled to be in the family" Remus added as he smiled at them.
"And why wouldn't she say yes? Isn't my son good enough…" Molly started to go on emotionally.
"I wasn't saying that Molly I'm positive Jackie would have said yes she's been smitten with that boy since she met him" Remus smiled.
"Freddie!" George called out as he and Jackie arrived back at the flat that evening to an empty shop and flat.
"I don't think he's home George" Jackie said as she put her bag down and collapsed onto the chair tiredly.
"Hang on he's left a message" George told his girlfriend as he picked up the parchment that had been left on their bedroom door.
"What does it say? Is everything ok" Jackie asked as she snuggled back into the settee.
"Mum's organised a family dinner she's set us a place apparently. We better get over there" George told her as he walked back towards her and reached out for her. "Come on sleepyhead" he smiled as he took her hand and helped her up leading her over towards the fireplace and taking the Floo powder.
On arrival at the Burrow the couple where met with mass hysteria and Jackie gasped as she looked around at the banners and all the people she hadn't been expecting this.
"Congratulations" the gathered crowd cheered.
"Hey she may not have said yes!" Lee exclaimed.
"Of course I did" Jackie smiled as she looked at him.
"Come on Lee how could she resist this?" George exclaimed as he grinned at his best friend.
"Because I'm the better looking one of course" Fred laughed a huge grin lighting up to his face as he walked over to his brother wrapping him in a congratulatory hug.
"I'm so happy for you princess" Remus spoke as he greeted his daughter hugging her tightly.
"Thanks daddy" Jackie smiled at him happily. Remus stroked his daughters hair as he hugged her tightly chucking at the fact that she had just called him daddy remembering the times that the two of them shared when she was a little girl. Before she could say another word Jackie could feel herself being pulled from her father's arms into the arms of another man, the arms of her best friend and future brother in law.
"Fred" Jackie laughed as she smiled up at him.
"Welcome to the family" he told her grinning at her as he looked at her twin.
"Let me see the ring?" Jessica squealed as she rushed over and joined them. Jackie proudly lifted her hand up and showed it off.
"That is beautiful" Jessica, Fleur, Angelina and Alicia squealed in excitement as they looked at Jackie examining the ring.
"George I'm impressed!" Angelina informed him as she looked over at one of her best friends and former teammates.
"Oh I didn't pick it out it belonged to her mother" George informed Angelina.
"Well it Is beautiful" Molly said as she finally let go of George and walked over to her future daughter in law.
"Simple beautiful it's such a gorgeous ring and I can't wait for the pair of you to get married we have so much to plan oh how wonderful. I just knew that this would happen one day what did I tell you and Remus at the station all those years ago" Molly told her husband and Lupin knowingly. George chuckled at his mum as he wrapped his arm around Jackie and pulled her closer into his side.
"I love you" he whispered in her ear.
"I love you too" Jackie smiled back blissfully.
The next morning Jackie sat up in bed bright and early as she wrote to Ginny her fiancé sleeping peacefully next to her she smiled as she looked over at his bare chest and then back up at his perfect features his gorgeous eyes and soft and silky ginger locks that she could spend hours running her fingers through. She shook her head softly to try and clear her head of the thoughts so to concentrate on her letter to Ginny she picked her quill back up and wrote.
'Ginny,
Hope that everything is going ok at School if you and Dean are arguing a lot then you should really break up with him especially as you do know that Harry is crazy about you and I know that you still love him too.
Anyway I am also writing because me and George have some news to share with you. However as I really want to tell you in person all i can say is you have the most romantic brother in the whole world.
Hope that all goes well in the Quidditch Cup this year you are a great player and I know that you're just as good a chaser as you were seeker for us last year in fact you're an even better chaser. Plus with Harry back I'm sure it's certain that you will win. I hope Ron has gotten over his nerves he is a great keeper when he doesn't let the Slytherins get to him or his nerves get the better of him. PS he really needs his head sorting out I can't believe he is still with Lavender Brown when Hermione is clearly besotted with him. In fact you two are both as bad as each other at the moment. My advice to you both is decide who it is you love and turn your life around.
Take care love Jackie x'
It was two days later when Snowy arrived back with a letter from Ginny while Jackie was in her office at the ministry. Jackie quickly let her owl in feeding her a treat and stroking her softly as she retrieved the letter and walked back over to her desk.
'Jackie,
Oh my god my brother has proposed hasn't he! But are you sure you have got the right man when you refer to him as the most romantic man in the world this is my brother remember. I really hope that is what the news is.
Quidditch is going well although I wish that you guys were still her on the team it's not the same without you and we really miss having Fred and George especially, don't tell them I said this but they really were the best beaters in Hogwarts history.
Ron is being stubborn and he and Hermione are still not talking. Harry keeps himself to himself most days at the moment he keeps reading this potions book that he has you know the one he mentioned at Christmas that belongs to the Half Blood Prince. I don't know what to do with Dean I know I don't love him and we are arguing a lot but I'm scared of ending it and then being rejected by Harry.
See you and your new ring at Easter.
Ginny xx'
Jackie smiled as she read the letter placing it back down on the table she sighed contently before picking up her quill and going back to work on her latest assignment in Magical Sports regarding changes to the Quidditch leagues.
