The Summer
The summer came quickly. George, Fred and I moved everything into our apartment. It was very cozy. I loved it. Their joke shop, Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes, was very successful. George and I were now in a 'serious' relationship. We were either at The Burrow, or at Snape Manor at least once a week. The twins had really grown on dad. Now that they weren't pranking him he thought they were really funny. I had decided that my animangus form was going to be a cat. That was because I could go out into muggle neighborhoods and not look suspicious, as well as get around in the magic world and still not raise any questions.
Since I was becoming an animangus, and the transformation would be complete within a few weeks, I was asked to look after Harry Potter. We were friends in school and since I know worked for the school, I had to go over to the Dursley's every Saturday night to make sure that everything was ok. The Dursley's had been told it would only be for three weeks. This was because after three weeks I would be able to become a cat and just go and see Harry for myself without the Dursley's knowing.
On July 13 George proposed. I said yes, but we both decided that it would be better if we waited until we were 20 before we actually got married. We told dad and he was skeptical at first, but said that if we thought it was what we wanted then he would support our decision. When we told the Weasley's there was a huge celebration. Hugs all around. Mrs. Weasley kept saying "I told you she'd be good for him. Smart girl like her. Just what he needs." and things like that. Bill said that it was all thanks to his comment about another red head in the family right after Christmas. Fred said it was all because he let George have me. Everyone was very happy for us and very excited. Ginny couldn't seem to get over the fact that she was going to have sister, and be in a wedding. All the girls and guys from home were going to be invited and they all knew about it and were planning it from Mass. Mom came to stay for a few days. She congratulated me on becoming an animangus, and doing so well in school and already having a good job. My mom didn't know what an animangus was when I first told her so Devon explained for her.
Everything was going great. Everyone from home came over for a visit and we went shopping in Diagon Alley. Well the girls anyway. The guys all hung out with the other guys in the joke shop. They stayed for a week, then headed back home. The summer was going by pretty fast. I didn't mind because I couldn't wait to go back to Hogwarts, and not as a student, but a teacher! George was a little upset though, because I'd be living at school and he'd be in London. Then one day Lee was over visiting and suggested that they try to open a shop in Hogsmead and get a little apartment there, so we could visit all the time. Well, we thought this was a great idea and went straight to Hogsmead. We found a small little two room cottage that had a shop attached to it. Instead of renting it, we bought it. Fred moved into a smaller apartment and he ran the joke shop in London, while George and I were planning on staying in Hogsmead and George would run the joke shop there.
I was so happy. I didn't think it could get any better. Then, Dumbledore came to talk to me. The Dursley's had beaten Harry pretty badly. Since we had a spare room, and we were right near Hogwarts, he asked if we could bring him to stay with us until school starts. We were happy to have him. Fred, George, and I went to get him and brought him back to Hogsmead to recover. It took him about two weeks to fully recover. When he was finally good as new, school started in a week. He got his letter and I got a list of things I would need. So Harry and I went to Diagon Alley to pick everything up. Once we got everything we sent it all to George, who was sending it to Hogwarts so Harry wouldn't have to worry about anything except Hedwig. We stayed with Fred for two days, then went to the Burrow until school started. We had a great time. The day before school started I went back to Hogsmead to spend the day with George. The next morning I woke up, got ready and headed to Platform 9 3/4 to meet Harry, Hermione and the Weasley's. We all boarded the train, eager for the next year to begin.
