Chapter 2: Celebration
Ginny, Harry, Hermione, Ron, and the twins were standing on George's front porch. Tonight they would finally meet George's secret girlfriend. All they knew about her was that George met her in the joke shop.
Charlie opened the door and ushered them inside. He took William and Anna and kissed them both. Hermione smiled, everyone loved Anna and William so much, she loved that they were their family.
Everyone was already there. They gave hugs and kisses to Mr. and Mrs. Weasley, Bill, Fleur, Charlie and his wife, Arnia.
"Charlie," Mrs. Weasley said, "Stop hogging those babies and give them to their grandma."
Everyone laughed as Charlie reluctantly handed the twins over. Then George came out of the kitchen.
"Hey guys…mum hand over the twins and no one gets hurt." George told his mother.
"Oh George, they are my only grandchildren at the moment."
"And they are my only niece and nephew at the moment so hand them over."
Mrs. Weasley handed the twins to George then said, "Those two get passed around more then the ham at Christmas dinner."
Hermione and Ron laughed then Ginny spoke up, "So George where is this mystery girl?"
"Right here," said a pleasant voice.
Everyone looked out and standing on the stairs was a beautiful, long, strawberry-blonde hair, blue-eyed witch in a lovely pink dress. Her smile was radiant and light up the room.
"Everyone," George said, as he took the girl's hand and walked her down the stairs toward everyone, "This is Lorelei. Lorelei, this is my family."
He pointed at everyone as he introduced them all, "My brothers, Bill, Charlie, his wife Arnia, his wife Fleur, Ron, his wife Hermione and the twins, Anna and William, my sister Ginny, her husband Harry, and my parents, Molly and Arthur."
"It's a pleasure to finally meet everyone," Lorelei said pleasantly.
As everyone took his or her turn talking to Lorelei, George snuck out in kitchen, and returned a few minutes later.
"Dinner is served," he announced. One by one everyone made it into the huge dining area.
The meal consisted of roast beef, seasoned vegetables, baked potatoes, and a salad. Hermione sat down with Anna, and Ron sat down with William, and fed them first. Everyone else helped themselves to the meal. When everyone was settled the questions began.
"So Lorelei, did you go to Hogwarts?" Molly asked.
"No actually, I was born in America and went to Magical Maiden's an all girl school for witches. When I was 18 I moved to England."
"How did you two meet?" Ginny enquired.
"A friend told me all about the joke shop and decided on day to visit. George was nice enough to help me find fake wands, and…"
"I didn't let her leave until she agreed to go out with me." George finished.
Everyone laughed, this was defiantly the style of George Weasley.
"Blimey George, you told us you had big news…tell us already!" Ron exclaimed.
Hermione giggled, her husband could be such an impatient goof.
George stuck his tongue out at him. "Okay, I'll tell you. Lorelei and I…"
"Are getting married," the two exclaimed together.
Molly, Hermione, Ginny, shrieked with delight and got up to hug them both. Harry, Ron, and Arthur told them each congratulations and gave them each a hug. Bill and Charlie were already making bachelor party plans, and the twins were cooing softly.
"Is there a date set yet?" Molly asked.
"Have you decided where?" Hermione chimed in.
"Let's see the ring!" Ginny eagerly exclaimed.
Lorelei held up her hand and showed everyone the 3-carrot diamond ring on her finger.
"It's beautiful!" Everyone exclaimed at once.
Everyone chatted about wedding plans, and of course made toasts to the new couple all night.
