"Are you going to at least explain what's going on, Bill?" Ron yelled,
getting ready to chunk something at his brother for forcing him to leave
his best friend when he was so vulnerable. And in the arms of a stranger
he didn't know at that.
"I'm not going to say anything until Harry's feeling better." Will answered, running his hands through his long, red locks.
"Will you at least tell me who that girl was?" Ron asked, sitting down in defeat. That was the answer Will had given him for everything he'd asked so far.
"That would have been my girlfriend, Caylon." Will said, sitting down, opposite of Ron. He was tired. The day had been a long one. His job at Gringotts was a hard one. He was a curse breaker there. Of course he wasn't perfect, but he was one of the best out there. Today, one of the curses backfired on him, leaving him bright red with several floating neon signs pointing to him, following him everywhere he went until Caylon finally managed to get it off of him. She didn't even work as a curse breaker; she had been there to see him for lunch. Caylon was a writer. A successful one in the muggle world, bringing in millions of dollars from her native country, America.
"Why does her name sound so familiar?" Ron muttered to himself as he racked his brain for an answer.
"I met her when I first started at Hogwarts. You probably don't remember, but the summer after I graduated, she came and spent the summer with us. We'd been pen pals since our first year. She went to Salem Academy."
"That right!" Ron bolted straight up. "She's the one you told me you were gonna marry after she left to go back to America."
"That's right." Will grinned sheepishly, pulling a small ring box from his pocket. "I was going to ask her tonight, after the announcement-slash- explanation."
"Will?" I asked walking into the kitchen with Harry on my arm. I glanced up in time to see him stuff something into his pocket.
"Is Harry okay?" Molly, Arthur and Charlie rushed into the room "Fred and George told us he had a breakdown!" Molly ran to Harry's side and took him into her arm, making soft cooing noises like a mother would.
"I'm fine now, Mrs. Weasley." Harry smiled and let her pamper him.

The entire Weasley family, plus the two 'adopted' children and Caylon all sat down for a dinner that Molly had spent most of the entire afternoon putting together. They sat in the garden, surrounding the two tables that Harry was so familiar with. They were the same too battered tables that Charlie and Bill had enjoyed battling with the summer before, before everything went wrong and Voldemort returned. But now Voldemort was back, Cedric was dead and only fate could tell how many more would go before he was stopped. Of course, now Harry held a secret close to his heart. He had a family and could go back to them. Never again would he have to deal with the Dursleys unless he wanted to. He would go live with Caylon and Bill.
"I have an announcement to make." Bill suddenly announced, as the tables grew quiet as he stood before them. "Actually, Caylon and Harry have an announcement to make." He grinned and sat back down, leaving the tables open for Caylon and Harry.
"As you all know, I have no family but the Dursleys." Harry started. "At least that was what everyone believed. Of course they never took to account my father's stepfather. Or his half-sister. Granted no one thought they were alive since Voldemort did come after them. It turns out he didn't kill him grandfather or my aunt. Illness took my grandfather and my aunt has been working to get custody of me since the day she turned 10 and met me for the first time. Granted she is only 9 years older then me, she finally succeeded."
"I would like to take Harry home to be with his family again." Caylon interrupted. "I would like your blessing before I do, Mr. and Mrs. Weasley. After all, you have been the only real thing, anywhere close to a family Harry's had." Everyone got quieter and stared at the girl like she was insane. "I've gotten permission from the Ministry and Dumbledore. All that needs to be done is to get the custody papers signed by the Muggles. Although I don't believe that will be too big of a problem."
"I knew something was up!" Ron broke the silence before jumping out of his seat to embrace both Caylon and Harry at the same time. "Can you believe that, Harry! Finally you have a family!" The rest of the family came to life and began to congratulate the two, giving Caylon their blessings to give Harry a new home.
"Now I really have an announcement. Well, a question, really." Bill waited until the family got settled and quiet. He turned towards Caylon and dropped to his knee. "Caylon Sharla Potter-Brig, will you do me the honor of your hand in marriage? And let us have a chance of giving Harry a real family? The family he deserves?" Caylon got quiet and looked the at ground. Bill sucked his breath and lifted her chin with his finger. Tears streamed down her face as she slowly nodded her head yes.
"You don't know how long I've waited for those words, William." She cried, throwing herself into his arms.

"Can you believe that?" Harry gushed, flopping into his seat in the train car. Ron fell into the seat in front of him as the rest of the Weasleys and Hermione settled themselves into the seats around them. "A whole extended family in one swoop!"
"Tell me about it!" Ron said, punching his soon-to-be cousin lightly in the arms. "Cousin!" Harry grinned, settling into the soft cushion as the Hogwarts Express hurtled down the tracks towards their school, Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry, where all of his dreams have come true.

Wells, sorry it took me so long to spit this chapter out. I've been busy failing chemistry exams. I hope you like this chapter. It's a bit short, but then again, so are all of my chapters compared to a lot of the other stories I've seen. Anywoo, I'll try to get chapter 4 up soon. Trying to decide when Voldemort and his minions should show up.Ginny dating Draco? Wouldn't that be a nice twist? I'm sad too; this is going to be the Twins' last year of school. Maybe I should have them pull off a senior year prank. That's a last year of school prank. Usually the biggest one you pull in your entire school career. It'll have to be big considering the trouble those boys get into. For my senior Prank, I'm going to let loose a few farm animals in the school and then proceed to decorate The Rig (our football stadium) with several large logos from nearby stores. I'm thinking Jack-in-the-box, McDonalds, taco bell, and burger king signs would be good. =)
