MegaArchangel- Sorry about the delay with part two. I've been really busy with schoolwork. Now that summer has started, I've gotten a part time job also. I'll have to reread part one myself so I can fit things in. Hope you enjoy this chapter.
Deb- Thanks!
c- I have :)
gohan4- The Weasleys make a bit of appearance in the beginning of the story. You will meet a lot more people in this story too. As for the love triangle, you'll have to see. : ) The Molly and Arthur story is currently on hold because I have huge writer's block for that story.

AZ- I haven't exactly decided on the couple pairing yet because I'm trying to choose between two endings. This story's only main character right now is Harry Potter. : )

Chapter 2- The Newly-Weds Game
Most of the guests were starting to leave and the house elves were busy cleaning and washing the dishes. The Weasleys, Harry, and Hermione were having coffee and talking before Bill and Fleur's departure for their honeymoon. Mrs. Delacour came over with a long, white box tied up with elegant white ribbons.
"Ze Newly-Weds game!" she said with a distinct happiness in her voice that made Fleur and Bill look worried.
"I remember this!" Mrs. Weasley said and then suddenly glared at Arthur. "You hardly got any of the answers correct!"
"Well…uh…" Arthur said, and then become very interested in examining his fingernails.
"What's this?" Harry asked.
"Oh, when a couple first get married, we all play a game with questions and see if all of our answers match up, especially the newlyweds' answers." Charlie answered, grinning.
"Guess who brought the game?" said Fred and George in a singsong voice.
Bill glared at his little brothers.
"Hey! Did we say it was us?" Fred and George looked at each other.
Fred looked over at Ron and Hermione and gave a very obvious wink.
Bill's jaw dropped.
"Vill zis should be fun!" Mrs. Delacour said.
"Ready?" Mrs. Delacour said smiling at her daughter and son-in-law whom rapidly shook their heads. "Alright? All partners ready?"
"Ah! George, you can keep track of ze points, non?" Mrs. Delacour said. "Et Monsieur Fred….you can read off ze answers!"
Mrs. Delacour opened the box and quills and scrolls jumped out, landing to all the couple's laps. Mr. and Mrs. Weasley, Ron and Hermione, and Bill and Fleur.
Harry looked at Ron's list of questions and was horrified. Included, were questions like, How many children do you wish to have?
After a silence of quills on parchment, everyone placed their answers back into the box.
Fred rubbed his hands together and grinned. "Ah! The moment of truth!"
Harry noticed Mr. Weasley looked slightly nervous.
"Hey! This is mum's!" Fred said.
Fred grinned and began to read,
"Your partner's full name: Arthur Charles Peter Handel Weasley

His pet name for you: Just Molly

"EIGHT OR NINE!" Molly said, swelling up at Arthur Weasley.
"Well…well…I thought…" Arthur stammered. "But our children are so cute!"
"AND I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU FORGOT MY BIRTHDAY! AND WHAT DO YOU MEAN MY BAD HABIT IS MY DANGEROUS STARE?" Molly said, right now glaring at Arthur with that exact dangerous look.
Fred reached over to grab another piece of parchment. "Hermione!" he announced.
Hermione blushed a little and Fred grinned, reading,
"Your partner's full name: Ronald Bilius Weasley
His age: 22
His mother's maiden name: I don't know
His best feature: There are quite a lot of features about Ron that strike me as cute. His freckles are what I like best.
His job occupation or want to be job occupation: He works in the Ministry for Quiddich and Sports
First kiss: Oh, I remember this, I kissed him on the cheek our fifth year before his very first Quiddich game and he looked like he was petrified or something.
His greatest fear: Spiders
Stupidest thing you've done in his presence: One time, Harry and Ron were pulling on of their clever pranks, and I fell for it. Unfortunately, after I stepped on a bunch of slimy flobberworms, I tripped and fell on Ron's…broomstick…"
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" George slapped his knee. "Is that why your…eh…broomstick hurt and you were walking all funny?"
"CONTINUE!" Ron said to Fred.
"How many children do you wish to have: I honestly don't know. I wouldn't think of this seriously until I'm married, and Ron and I have no plans on getting married yet---"
"Hey!" Ron interrupted. "Are you telling me you didn't even think of us being together?"
"Of course I've thought about it," Hermione said impatiently. "But I have no definite plans of it."
"Why not?" Ron demanded, his eyes narrowing.
"Because we might not be right for each other!" Hermione said.
"It's Krum, isn't it?" Ron said with a huff.
"Since when did I mention Krum?" Hermione said, her hands on her hips.
"Well who else can there be?" Ron said and then he glared at Hermione. "Are you meaning to tell me, there's someone else other than Krum?"
"Ron!"
"It better not be Neville!"
"Do I ask you about your personal life?"
"I can't believe you're going to run around, playing around—"
"I am not playing around---"
"Oh yeah? Then why are you corresponding with Krum?"
"Am I not allowed to be friends with him?"
"No."
"Ronald Weasley, I can't believe you are so…easily aggravated!" Hermione now glared back at Ron.
"Well, excuse me for thinking that when two people are in a relationship, we are not supposed to see anyone else!"
"I am not seeing anyone else!"
"What about Krum?"
"What about Krum?
"You're seeing him!"
Fred sighed and rolled his eyes. He coughed loudly and continued reading. Hermione and Ron shut up immediately.
"He likes it best when you: compliment him
When did you first meet: On the Hogwarts train our first year. I remember he had dirt on his nose and was quite impatient with me. Honestly.
How long do you expect to stay married: We're not married
Best moment with him: When he is not accusing me of being untrustworthy, because I don't believe he has sound judgement when it comes to male friends of mine such as Krum. One time he even accused Neville for being obsessed with me because he came to see me at work about a meeting I was planning to attend in France. I didn't realize that until I walked out and hit Ron in the face with the door because he had been listening with an Extendable Ear device.
One bad habit of his you wish he would change: Trying to get into trouble all the time, because honestly, sometimes I wonder what he is thinking. He thinks the Ministry will never find out if he sneaks off of work to attend a Quiddich game and that he'll be back in time…if I didn't work in the Ministry with him, I don't know what he would do.
His pet name for you: Hermy
Your anniversary: none
His birthday: March 1st " Fred finished reading. "Yep, sounds like Hermione's answers alright. Ron gave a huff.
"If Neville only wanted to ask you work related questions, then why was your door closed?" Ron asked.
"My office door is always closed! I can't concentrate with the noise out in the halls…"
Ron looked very suspicious.
Fred rolled his eyes and read,
"Your partner's full name: Hermione Jane Granger
Her age: 22
Her mother's maiden name: I only met her a few times. I call her Mrs. Granger
Her best feature: Her eyes give a very bright look when she comes back from the library
Her job occupation or want to be job occupation: International Magical Trading Standards
First kiss: Don't remember…don't keep track…hehehe…
Her greatest fear: I don't know, I don't think Hermione is afraid of anything, come to think of it. Oh yeah! Except failing subjects when we were in school and now with work.
Stupidest thing you've done in her presence: Well, once Harry and I pulled a prank on her and something very bad happened. That's all I'm saying.
How many children do you wish to have: Hmm…A few
She likes it best when you: Help her free off little elfs, except I never did that…hmm…
When did you first meet: On the train my first year. I remember that because she told me I had dirt on my nose and made fun of my spell to turn Scabbers yellow.
How long do you expect to stay married: We're not married
Best moment with her: When we kiss
One bad habit of hers you wish she would change: Her obsession with S.P.E.W. So far, she has knitted about 1,000 elf hats and left them lying around the Ministry.
Her pet name for you: Just Ron, sometimes Ronald when she's angry or Ronald Weasley when she's really angry
Your anniversary: None
Her birthday: It's in September, but I forgot what day" Fred finished.
Hermione was not speaking to Ron and Ron was not speaking to Hermione.
"We have to leave for our honeymoon soon." Said Bill. "I booked the hotel for the night started at 7PM."
"Alright, let's read yours then." Fred said quickly.
"Your partner's full name: Fleur Delacour
Her age: 25
Her best feature: Everything. I love everything about her.
Her job occupation or want to be job occupation: Right now she works at the bank with me. I'm glad because then we see each other as often as possible
First kiss: During an English lesson five years ago
Her greatest fear: Something happening to someone in her family
Stupidest thing you've done in her presence: Well, I was…staring at her I guess while I was walking and then I walked straight into a pole at Gringotts.
How many children do you wish to have: It doesn't matter, whatever she decides.
She likes it best when you: Kiss her…and other personal things…
When did you first meet: Tri-wizard competition at Hogwarts
How long do you expect to stay married: Forever…or as they say in French…two jewel… or something
Best moment with her: When we kiss…and other personal things…
One bad habit of hers you wish she would change: Nothing, I love everything about her.
Her pet name for you: ………Alright! Alright! Damn this stupid parchment. She calls me Billy Winkums sometimes- HAHAHAHAHAHA!" Fred stopped and laughed right out loud.
"Billy Winkums!" Charlie said to his older brother.
Bill glared at Charlie. "Oh will you read on?" he said to Fred who was wiping his eyes.
"Your anniversary: Today!
Her birthday: April 28th" Fred finished.
"That's very romantic," Hermione said thoughtfully. "A lot of his answers were well put." She turned and gave Ron a sharp look.
"I like my answers very much." Ron said defiantly.
Hermione gave an impatient tut.
After Fred finished reading, Fleur and Bill got up.
"Well, we'll see you all later." Bill said grinning.
"Yes, ve vill." Fleur said.
"Bye!" Bill and Fleur held hands. With a crack, they were gone.
"We never got around to Fleur's answers," remarked Ginny.
"Well, it doesn't matter, they had to leave." Fred said, reading Fleur's answers thoughtfully. "Her answers were on par with Bill's, romantic, sappy…" He examined the parchment. "Hmm…even put a bit of French in here. Dunno what they mean…although this word might mean nose…either that or peanut butter or something…"
Ginny rolled her eyes.
"Thank you for having us over," said Mrs. Weasley to Mrs. Delacour.
"Oh, I'm so glad you did." Mrs. Delacour replied.
"Well, see you later. The wedding was great," said Charlie. "I better get back to Romania now." He walked over to the fireplace and within seconds, vanished.
"I suppose we'll be heading back to the Burrow." Mrs. Weasley turned to Harry and Hermione. "You two will be staying at the Burrow tonight, right?'
"Oh," said Harry. "Well, I thought I would floo back to my apartment."
"Oh nonsense!" Mrs. Weasley said. "Today has been a long day. You must stay at the Burrow for tonight. We haven't seen you in such a long time, Harry dear."
"I have work tomorrow." Said Harry.
"It's Sunday," said Ron. "Why do you have to work Sunday?"
"Extra training," replied Harry, whom was feeling slightly uncomfortable.
"Why Harry!" Mrs. Weasley said, looking surprised. "Auror training on a Sunday? Moody does give you a day off a week at least, doesn't he?"
"Well, yeah…I suppose…"
"That's settled then!" Mrs. Weasley said. "You'll spend the rest of the weekend at the Burrow! You deserve a nice relaxation, Harry, you're looking so thin."
Hermione and Ron were looking at Harry questioningly.
"Let's head back home, then!" said Mrs. Weasley cheerfully.
They all thanked Mrs. Delacour again for holding the wedding at her house, and then by twos, left in the fireplace.
