Five Years Later

George Weasley's house hadn't changed a bit since his children had moved out. It still had a wonky house number on the front porch, the garden still had suspicious looking greenery in it and as usual it was full of life.

Walking up the path, Roxanne could hear her family in the back garden. The entire extended Weasley clan had gathered together in George and Angelina's back garden to celebrate the fact that life going well for them again. The date was the second of April, Roxanne's son's birthday, and they had agreed to have a party for him and his granddad. Also, Charlie had retired from his dragons, and had moved back to England to settle down finally. The last few months had been good ones for the Weasley family, and this seemed a fair enough reason to celebrate.

As they entered the back garden, Roxanne could hear the sound of chatting and laughter circulating. At the sight of his Grandad, Arthur ran towards George who scooped the little boy in his arms and carried him off. Lorcan waved at his brother, who had now been accepted as a sort of relative of the Weasley family. He and Rose had been together for the entire length of Roxy and Lorcan's marriage but there was no hint at any developments.

Roxy went and joined her cousins who immediately began cooing over Roxy's nine month old daughter, Rachel Rose (named after her mother's best friend).

The night wore on, and George suggested a friendly game of Quidditch. This got Harry, Charlie, George, Ginny, Ron, Teddy and Dominique playing against James, Albus, Hugo, Louis, Fred, Roxanne and Lorcan. The first game started off quite friendly, with the younger players going gentle on the older ones. The second game was a lot more heated, with Roxanne and George flinging Bludgers around ruthlessly and the others pushing and shoving each other. The older generation settled back down, laughing and letting their children continue to play.

Angelina emerged from the kitchen with two giant cakes levitating in front of her, a firework shaped one for George, which exploded and reassembled itself, and a dragon shaped one for Arthur. After a quick round of happy birthdays, the children in the family went inside to play a giant game of exploding snap, while the adults stayed outside and chatted. Roxanne found herself deep in conversation with her Uncle Charlie who was bouncing Rachel on his knee as she took in her surroundings.

"I bet you're really grateful to have this one here aren't you Roxy?" he said, gesturing to the gargling baby who was now trying to catch something which nobody else could see. Possibly Nargles if she was anything like her father, thought Roxanne.

"Well it was such a relief to even find out I was going to have more kids, after, you know, losing one, but then seeing her and how well she's turned out. Its amazing," Roxy replied. Charlie smiled at her and nodded.

"Don't you ever wish you had kids, Uncle Charlie?" she asked him. Charlie shook his head.

"Considering it took me forty-something years to work out that I couldn't live with dragons my entire life, I don't think I should really be in charge of a fellow human, do you?" he joked, smiling at his niece. He watched her for a while as she spoke to Louis and recalled that she had recently been abroad on business.

"How's the new designs going?" he asked.

"Oh great! They loved them over in Japan, they thought they added a little more 'relatability to the target audience,'" she said. George had asked Roxanne to redesign the Wonder Witch range for him, seeing as he was not quite as in the loop with girls as he used to be when he was a younger entrepreneur.

"Brilliant, and how's the turnover? Or am I not allowed to know?" he asked her.

"Well, last year my third turned over about one million galleons, but because we have half muggle money too, that ends up being 2,485,000 pounds!" she said excitedly.

"And is that good?" Charlie asked; his knowledge of muggle currency was not the most admirable.

"Lets just say we won't be strapped for cash," she said cheekily. Charlie nodded happily; he was glad that his brother had given his kids such a good business to buy into that they didn't need to worry about money. And he was also pleased that George and Angelina had raised their children to not feel superior just because they were rolling in gold.

Lorcan walked over to them at that point and offered Roxanne some Firewhisky, which she accepted.

"Should you really be drinking that, Rox?" Charlie said, not trying to sound to old fashioned.

"Yeah she's fine, I'm looking after the kids tonight so as long as she doesn't get drunk it doesn't really matter," Lorcan said, taking a sip of his own pumpkin juice.

Teddy Lupin shouted to Charlie and he left them sat on the blanket together. Lorcan took Rachel off Roxy and went to chat with Albus. Roxy lay down on the blanket to relax, but before long she was hit in the face by a cuddly toy dragon.

"RAWR!" screamed Arthur, giggling at his mother's startled expression.

"Rawr yourself, little man!" Roxy laughed and picked up her son, twirling him in the air. She noticed Lysander laughing nearby and gestured for him to sit with her and Arthur.

While Arthur squeezed his dragon so that it breathed puffs of twisting smoke, Roxy surveyed her brother in law.

"What are you looking at me like that for?" he said, looking nervous.

"I was just wondering why you haven't gone any further with Rose yet," she stated, "I mean, you're perfect for each other, what's stopping you?"

Lysander looked at her nervously and cleared his throat.

"You have to promise not to say anything, okay?" he said the Roxy, who nodded. "She's pregnant," he said quietly, a happy gleam in his eyes.

"Oh wow!" exclaimed Roxy, "Congratulations!"

"Thanks. But seriously, don't tell anyone, she wants to tell her parents when we get home tonight. She's so excited though, Rox, you should have seen her when she found out!"

"I bet she was over the moon, wasn't she?"

"I'll say, she was jumping and laughing, you know how she does,"

Roxy nodded and laughed herself.

"What's funny?" Lysander asked her.

"I just think its so strange! I mean, who would have thought on our first day at Hogwarts that this would be the outcome?" she said. Lorcan nodded and smiled, before leaving to find Rose.

George spotted Roxy lying on the blanket, shielding her eyes from the evening sun, playing with Arthur and headed towards her. She saw him approaching and sat up to greet him.

"Happy birthday for yesterday, Dad!" she said cheerfully. George smiled and received a puff of smoke in the face from Arthur's dragon.

"Arthur! How many times do we have to tell you not to squeeze that thing when it's by people's faces?" Roxy said sternly. Arthur looked down and mumbled "Sorry, Mum,".

"Apologise to Grandad now," she said, looking her son in his bright little eyes.

"Sorry Grandad," he sighed.

"Good boy," smiled Roxy, "why don't you find Collette to play with?" Arthur nodded and ran off to search for Victiore's youngest daughter.

Roxy and George sat in silence and listened to the argument Charlie, Teddy and James were now having about Quidditch teams.

"I love this time of day," Roxy said suddenly. George nodded.

"Its like, anything bad that's happened can be forgotten, and if you've had a good day, then you can think about it and remember everything that happened," George added. Roxy smiled at him.

"The Japanese Trade Department liked the designs, Dad," she told him.

"Yeah?"

"Yeah, they said they were very keen to add a little more variety to the shelves and that they would get in touch with either you, me or Fred in the next couple of weeks," she finished.

"That's brilliant!" George exclaimed. They sat in silence some more before George added, "I'm so proud of you."

Roxy looked at him, her mouth twitching.

"Why, because I can wrap Trade Ministers around my little finger and get them to do anything?" she joked.

"Well, yes, I trained you well!" George laughed, "But in all seriousness, just look at what you've done with your life so far, and you're only twenty six!"

"Like what?"

"Got fantastic grades at school-"

"They weren't that impressive…"

"Excuse me? All Outstanding and Exceeds Expectations in your OWL's? All high pass grades at NEWT's? I'd say that's pretty good! Not to mention you're a brilliant sales-woman, a genius inventor, you got married to one of the lovliest blokes on the planet, had a beautiful little boy, brushed yourself off after you went through all that hurt when you lost the baby, still went on to try again and came out with a gorgeous little girl, and you're still keeping up the business and running a family! Add on top of what a fantastic mum you are, and that you've still got a lovely bubbly personality to go with it all, I'd say I'm one of the proudest Dad's in the world."

Roxy sat and stared at him, open mouthed. When you put it like that, she had actually done quite a lot of things with her life.

"Thanks Dad," she said, and leaned forwards to cuddle him.

As he patted her on the back, he recalled everything she had done throughout her lifetime. Over her shoulder he watched Lorcan proudly holding baby Rachel, and winked at Arthur as he raced past making "broomstick noises".

Even though she had grown up, even though she had a new family of her own, and even though she did do things wrong occasionally, George loved his daughter unconditionally. No matter how old she was, how far away she went, she would always be his little girl.

Narw! I thought it needed a soppy ending :)
