Hey you guys sorry for the long wait again….this is definitely the last chapter to be out this year though so, enjoy it? Happy Holidays! Ha and yes I just did have to add Mary Poppins to this ha ha.
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious – Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke
"Great…." Alyssa said sarcastically reading the headline as Alex walked over to her to read it too.
HARRY POTTER'S SISTER ADOPTS THE SOLE KNOWN SURVIVOR OF THE DIAGON ALLEY ORPHANAGE ATTACKS AND IS GETTING MARRIED TO ONE OF HER EMPLOYERS WHO SHE HAS ONLY BEEN DATING A DAY!
"That has to be the longest headline in journalism history," Alex said after reading it.
"Well at least it guarantees a shorter article, there can't be much left to tell after that." Alyssa replied rolling her eyes and throwing it in the trash bin.
"It's true?" Mr. Weasley asked, eyes wide.
"Yes dear, just not the one day part," Mrs. Weasley answered turning back to cutting up her onions.
"We were going to tell everyone tonight…." Alyssa said quietly not exactly sure about Mr. Weasley's reaction.
"What's going on? Fred asked walking in with George and Kaida.
"Oh nothing, just Rita Skeeter seems to have talked to the Ministry since we've been there," Alyssa answered sitting down at the kitchen table that had about twenty miss matched chairs around it. She folded her arms and put her head down on them.
"This whole staying up practically all night two nights in a row thing doesn't agree with me," she muttered.
"You need caffeine!" Alex exclaimed.
"Pepper up potion," Mr. Weasley said putting some in front of Alyssa.
"Now that's the ticket," She said lifting her head up and reaching for it, "Bless you Mr. Weasley." She drank all of it quickly.
"Wow, so I didn't know you two are planning on having 12 kids while living in Australia." Fred said reading the paper he had taken out of the trash bin.
"Yep, then we plan on buying a summer home in the middle of Death Valley." George answered sitting next to Alyssa, who had steam pouring out of her ears.
"It's nice there during spring. Me, Natalie, and Alex went there for Spring Break once." Responded Alyssa moving her hair out of the way of the steam.
"It's almost six, how are your guests arriving?" Mrs. Weasley asked while handing bowls of food to everyone to put on the table.
"Floo, so Alex better go in there, cause I want to see her reaction better." Alyssa responded smiling, pointing to the other room.
"Since when have you planned on buying my half of the business?" Fred asked George, frowning still reading the paper.
"There was a reason it was in the trash bin, trash digger," Kaida said snatching it away from him and throwing it away again. She then started pushing him and Alex towards the other room.
By the time everyone but Alyssa and Mrs. Weasley had left the room two people fell out of the fireplace.
"Hey you two! I'd like you to meet Mrs. Weasley," Alyssa said as soon as they had brushed themselves off and gesturing towards Mrs. Weasley who was washing her hands and drying them off quickly so she could shake hands.
"Mrs. Weasley, this is Katie and Matt Knight. Katie and Matt this is Mrs. Weasley. Katie and Matt were my neighbors in California and Matt is Alex's boyfriend."
"It's so nice to meet you! So you're a wizard?" Mrs. Weasley asked Matt shaking his hand, then Katie's.
"Yes, but Alex doesn't know that yet," he said smiling.
"Well that should be a pleasant surprise for her!"
"When are you going to tell us why you aren't dead!" Katie asked curiously and anxiously.
"When we're eating! First let's go surprise Alex." Alyssa answered looking out the door of the kitchen to make sure that Alex was preoccupied.
"She's even facing the other way, come on." Alyssa said pushing Matt and Katie into the other room. She and Mrs. Weasley followed them out. Matt walked over to Alex who was talking to George and tapped her on the shoulder while saying, "There's something I should tell you – I'm a wizard."
Alex turned around and it was plain to see she was extremely confused, happy, excited, furious, and astounded. After staring at him for a moment she responded "Well….that explains a lot."
"What's wrong with Harry?" Katie asked whispering in Alyssa's ear as Alex continued to stare at Matt.
"Oh he's just upset about something I have to do," Alyssa responded, looking at Harry who was sitting on the other side of the room. He was determinedly not looking at her, staring at the ceiling while Ron tried to ask him what was wrong.
"What do you have to…" She started to ask but trailed off, looking at the ground in front of Alyssa. Alyssa turned from Harry, to Katie, to where Katie was looking. She gasped, finding George on one knee. The Weasley's den went silent very quickly.
"Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious?" George asked smiling as there were many more gasps issuing from the other occupants of the room, then some delayed reactions of "huh?"
"Dociousaliexpedisticfragicalirupus!" Alyssa responded also smiling and holding out her left hand.
"What?" George asked looking confused.
"It's what you said but backwards – in other words, yes." She answered and he put the ring on her finger, then stood up and kissed her.
"What's going on!" issued from the mouths of more than one person from around the room as Alyssa and George broke apart and Braden ran over and hugged their legs.
"I just asked her to marry me and she said yes," George responded as Alyssa picked up Braden.
"Whatever you just said wasn't English," Ginny responded looking skeptical.
"Actually it is, and it's from a movie. It's the name of a song." Alyssa answered.
"What kind of a song is that?" Ron asked.
"It is from a musical. A man explains how he said it to his girlfriend and now his girlfriend is his wife." Hermione answered frowning slightly at the two of them.
"Why are you two getting married after you've only been going out, what? Four days now?" asked Bill with Fleur next to him playing with his hair.
"If they don't get married by the fourteenth, Alyssa will be kicked out of the wizarding world. Apparently if you stay here for more than three months it is illegal if you have not been accepted into a wizarding school or can't prove you're related to someone magical," Remus said smiling almost sadly at Alyssa, George, and Braden.
"Wait, you've been dead for two years though," Matt said confused.
"I'll explain later," Alex said rolling her eyes.
"Dinner's ready. Once we're done with that it's off to bed with all of you so we can start planning the wedding in the morning!" Mrs. Weasley said throwing up her hands.
