A/N: Oh my god, I'm coming to the end of this little story. Here's George. Ron will go up tomorrow and Ginny will go up Wednesday. Thanks to reviewers. Love you all! Harpoon Harper. Pretty please?
Disclaimer: It ain't mine. Harpoon him.
Nightwing509: Thanks for the review, they'll be along shortly, we're down to the people I like now.
Mellowyellow36: No,, she doesn't. They're based on mine though. Thank you. I'm updating in the next three days and it will be all done.
Disty: Thank you. Yes, it is kind of sad, but I hate Percy, he irks me, so he does deserve it. Fred's family rocks. I really like Sherman. I'm considering writing a full fic about Najwa because I really like her. Very soon will you read about them all!
Most can't tell the difference between Fred and George, I know that Percy, Bill and Charlie can't, Arthur sometimes realized they weren't who they said they were. Harry, Hermione, Ginny, Ron and I have always been able to tell who's who, though. This is how; George has some sanity, a small dose, his voice is slightly lower and he's just genuinely calmer. But enough of that,
George and Alicia waited two years after the war to get married, saying the entire time that they actually never planned too. Then Alicia got pregnant and they decided to get married to give the child a sense of normalcy to its life. Alicia lost the baby two months into their marriage. It was a rocky two years for them after that, they separated briefly, but Angelina, who's close friends with Alicia, informed us all that she was absolutely miserable without him, and that we were going to fix their marriage if we had to sic Hagrid's dog on them. We could all tell for those three months that George was unhappy, Fred was running the entire business single-handed because Angelina was touring with the Wimbledon Wasps, who she manages and Alicia, who had worked their, had taken a year's sabbatical. We were all in there periodically, even Fleur, who was on Maternity leave at the time for Margaux and Najwa who had decided to put in her time as a unemployed mommy for Abia, worked shifts most days, as well as Bill, Ginny and I doing our bit. So we did, and they tried it again.
A year later they had their first daughter, Summer, otherwise known in our family as 'that thing that screeched for a year and half', the worst case of colic anyone had ever seen. It was at this point that we discovered, as there were three infants about that year all of whom wailed perfectly on cue, that Harry's mere presence is enough to sooth children. Alicia herself admits to being horrible when she hasn't had enough sleep, and I'm not the only one who dealt with the dreaded 'she's been crying for thirteen straight hours. Fix it,' floo calls for a while. I did like having a house full of babies again, though. She's grown up to be a bit of a Drama queen, but certainly very pretty and with her father's wit.
Seth and Ryan are their twins, a year younger than Ben and Franklin and the sweetest little things you'll ever meet. They've just started Hogwarts, and they have an entire corporations of cousins defending them, they're both very innocent, incredibly naïve. Yesterday morning they asked Fleur how often she and Bill mated. She was laughing so hard that Bill had to answer for her, through his own laughter, that it was not a question you asked people. Seth threw the words 'Auntie Ginny did,' at him, and every time Bill and Fleur made eye contact for the rest of the day they went into hopeless giggles. Ginny refuses to tell us what she said, even though Najwa's been bugging her about it all day. They also love to talk about death, with Harry, and being an orphan. He says they bring a bit of humour to both ideas and to let them alone about it, that I'm a bit like a mother hen really. Which is true, but really, they must be taught some tact, and no matter how often George and Alicia sit them down for talks about manners, and what is proper, they stick their tongues out at them and walk off.
After the twins they found out they couldn't have any more children, but they both wanted a big family, so they began to adopt. Marissa, who's nine now, has a learning disability because her mother drunk heavily when she was pregnant, but it very sweet and such a breath of fresh air, she also understand her predicament. For example the fact that she won't be able to go to Hogwarts has been clear to her since Summer left when she was five, she says she understands and she's perfectly happy to spend her days in the shop with her father. She would like to work at the front desk when she grows up, she says, because you get to meet so many interesting people, and there's always so much fun wondering why they're buying the products they buy.
Oliver, their second adopted child, was Katie and Oliver Wood's only child, they died in an incident involving tampering with the Floo system, when he was only three weeks old. He was left with George and Alicia to mind and it seemed natural to everyone that he should stay on with them. He's five now and the adoption just became official, he's very happy with George and Alicia, though he's the only one of their children who has taken to calling them Aunt Alicia and Uncle George, which they don't mind at all. He was telling me last night as I sat down for hot chocolate with all my grandchildren, having shooed their parents out of the house to go and snog where their children couldn't see it (Percy and Penelope went to the office to do a bit of overtime work), that they were like parents, really, but they weren't his real mummy and daddy, and it would be mean to them wherever they were to call someone else their names, it brought tears the eyes of everyone in the room over thirteen.
Luke is four and only came to live with them a year ago, but he has settled right in. His mother was a mental patient in St Mungo's who was raped. No one knows who the father was, and their was talk of his staying with her family, but it turned out that they were completely and totally unstable, so he came to be part of ours. He's a little blonde child with a pronounced lisp and a smile that can clear skies. Because he's their last child, I think that without knowing it, Alicia favours him a bit, George has always been to equal to his children to do so.
I adore that family, because they're terribly close, regulars of any Weasley's Wizard Wheezes store are a bit unclear on Fred's kids, if only because they aren't around as much because of their touring a bit with their mother during the season, but the true regulars of the Hogsmeade location especially, know all of George's kids intimately, they've always got a sob story for Summer, a joke for Seth and Ryan, a kind word for Marissa, a piece of conversation for chatty Oliver and minute for the obligatory hug from Luke.
