A/N - Sorry about the delay, I will try to make these updates quicker. I am in the middle of revision though, and I do have a German exchange partner coming in a few weeks so...anyway, before I ramble on and bore you all to tears...the fifth chapter of Happier Days! be excited

When dinner had been cleared away, and everyone had retired to the magically enlarged sitting room Tonks was still cooing over Teddy. "Did you speak my big boy? You're getting all grown up so fast! Aww, Mommy loves you. Yes she does! Yes she does!"

Remus lent over and took Teddy, who even at 7 months looked frustrated with his mother's incessant talking. Tonks held onto him protectively at first but then released her grip and allowed Remus to lay him down in a cot he had just transformed.

Meanwhile, Harry and Ginny were sitting together in the window seat, catching up on what they had missed and not been willing to discuss at the dinner table. "So, Ron and I are going on our first assignment next week. They're finally going to let us out onto the field, I think we're going to go investigate some Dark Arts dealer."

"I swear if you get hurt..."

Harry hugged Ginny to his chest and stroked her hair. He always knew when she was worried.

"Gin, I promise you I won't get hurt. Ron and I will be absolutely fine!"

Ginny looked appeased but not entirely convinced but since Ron and Hermione were now walking over they she chose to let it go...for now. "So where have you two lovebirds been, eh?".

Ginny smirked as she watched Hermione and Ron both blush until they looked considerably like tomatoes. "We went for a walk. In the garden. To...catch up on things."

"Ron, you are my dear brother, but I feel I must inform you that you are completely and utterly useless at lying. Please do not attempt to do it anymore."

All four laughed and for a few minutes it was almost as if they were still kids at Hogwarts, and nothing else mattered.

A few minutes later, George cleared his throat and stood, holding Katie's hand. "We...um...have an...err...announcement to make."

Everyone watched him with bated breath, waiting for what they thought would be a wedding to plan.

"We...well we are...well you see..."

Katie finally took pity on George's failed attempts and helped him out. "We're getting married!"

Excitement broke out and filled even the enlarged version of the Burrow. Hugs, kisses and general congratulations flew around the room until finally everyone fell back onto floor cushion or human, waiting for any other announcement.

"Well, we want Ginny, Hermione, Alicia and Angelina to be bridesmaid. Tonks, we want you to be the Maid of Honour."

Here, George cut in, seeming to have regained his voice. "Ron, I want you to be my best man. No offence meant to anyone else but you know it can't be someone already married and Charlie you were best man at Bill's. Percy..."

"Don't worry about it George. I understand." Percy clapped George on the back and smiled.

Katie decided they should be left to enjoy the moment, so before people could rush up and hug them she went on. "Tonks, you need to come shopping with me tomorrow. Hermione when can you next get the weekend off?"

"Well, 3 weeks time is my weekend off, and I can probably persuade McGonagall to let Ginny come as well."

"Perfect. Tonks and I will try to get our dresses tomorrow, then that weekend we can concentrate on your dressed, and shoes."

She turned her attention to Harry, Ron, Charlie and Bill. "You boys will all need suits, plain black and a tie to go with the colour scheme. Ron, you'll need a bow tie."

"What??" A bow tie! That's so...not me!"

Mrs Weasley snapped out of the daydream she was having it involved many weddings to plan and about 30 grandkids running around and glared at Ron. "Ronald Weasley, this is your brother's wedding and you will wear whatever he wants you to!"

"But Mom, a bow tie!"

"I don't care if he wants you to wear a frilly pink tutu!"

Mother and son frowned at each other until Tonks interrupted. "Uh, Katie? I don't know if I can come tomorrow. Remus is working and Teddy still needs his nap."

Harry spoke up. "I'll watch him. I have the day off tomorrow and I don't have any plans."

Tonks brightened up. "That would be great. You know I don't think I've had a day to myself since Teddy was born."

"That's settled then. Tonks and I will go shopping tomorrow. George, you can take Ron to get his suit tomorrow, it needs to go with yours."

"Ok Katie, I'll meet you at the shop about 12? You ok with that Harry?"

Both Katie and Harry nodded their approval at the plan and Tonks picked up Teddy. "Better get going then, don't want Teddy to be too grumpy tomorrow!"
