Teddy 19

Victoire knew something was up. She kept catching her mum sniffling and looking at her. She didn't figure it was tragic news because her dad was wearing a goofy grin all the time. Oh well she'd figure it out later. Right now she had a date to get ready for.

Andromeda found Teddy sitting on his bed looking at a picture album. She looked over his shoulder to see Nymphadora and Remus beaming back at her, Nymphadora flashing her engagement ring at the camera. She placed a hand on her grandson's bright pink hair.

"Gran do you think mum would like it that I'm giving her ring to Victoire?"

"OH Teddy she'd be over the moon!"

"I know I don't say it enough, but thanks Gran."

"Thank you for what?"

"Thanks for raising me, for being there and for making sure I knew what love is. Knowing what love is sure made it easier to recognize it with Victoire."

"Oh Teddy, you kept me alive and young! I don't know what I'd have done with out you and our heart family!"

A few minutes passed by as they sat comfortable wrapped in a hug. "Teddy, I've been wanting to tell you I was wrong about something."

"You, admitting you were wrong? Do I need to call a healer?" Teddy, grinning, ducked the blow she aimed at him.

"Stop it! I'm trying to be serious! Teddy after you saved the little ones last summer I realized I should have never kept you from your dream. So if you want to be an auror I think you should."

Teddy smiled, remembering the conversation a few hours later as he apperated to Shell cottage. He had the ring and a special picture tucked into his pocket. He landed on the beach, he was a bit early to check if everything was ready. Bill was standing at the entrance to a small candle lit tent.

"I can't thank you enough, you and Aunt Fleur for setting this up!" Bill grinned, shook his hand and disappeared with a pop.

Ten minutes later Victoire and he were exchanging an hello kiss. "You going to tell me where we are going Lupin?

"You'll know soon! Take my arm." The couple disappeared with a pop. "OK open your eyes."

Victoire opened her eyes to see a table for two set with her mums fine china and Kreacher grinning with a towel folded over his arm like a waiter in a fine French restaurant. Teddy pulled out her chair and they sat down.

"Master Teddy would you like Kreacher to pour the wine?"

"Yes, thank you Kreacher," They preceded to have a meal filled with wonderful food. "Kreacher you out did yourself! I did not have a better meal the whole time I was on the continent!"

"Thank You Master Teddy. Kreacher will serve the desert and coffee and leave you now." After placing a lovely slice of chocolate cake in front of each of them, he disappeared with a pop.

For the first time Victoire noticed a framed picture on the table. It was of two babies on a beach blanket. "Teddy where are we?" Teddy snapped his fingers and she could suddenly hear the waves. "The beach!"

"I brought you here to the place I first remember seeing you to ask a question." Teddy came around the table and kneeled in front of her. "Victoire Weasley, would you marry me?"

Victoire looked down at the ring he was holding and then in to his hopeful face. "YES!" They never did eat desert. After the ring was securely on her finger they apperated to the parlor of Shell cottage. Her mum hugged both of them and cried, her dad kissed her softly on the cheek and slapped Teddy in the back.

"Welcome to the family Son!"

"Thank you Uncle Bill!"

"I zinks eet es time you called us Mammon and Poppa, Yes?"

They all returned to the beach where Kreacher had transfigured the small tent in to a large marque. Somehow Uncle Harry had gotten everyone to show up, even Teddy and Victoire's friends. The party went on for hours and ended with a spectacular fireworks display.

Four shimmering beings looked down upon the lovers holding hands and walking along the beach. "Congratulations Tonks, Lupin!" Fred slapped them both on the back.

"Shall we have a toast?" As the last word left Ted's lips 4 glasses of fire whiskey appeared. "To my grandson and his lovely bride to be. May they live a long life filled with love and children!"

Tonks lifted her smiling, tear streaked face to Remus for a kiss.
