Hannah had out done herself. The dinner was perfect. Neville chuckled to himself. If there was any problems tonight the quickest way to get help was just to show up here. He swore half the MOM, all of the OOP and all of DA were here. A round of toasts were offered to the success of the UK team and to Ginny as chaser. Harry, standing behind Ginny's chair, winked at Teddy. Teddy eased his action figure out of his pocket and let it go. Ginny, who was talking to Oliver Wood, noticed her mini-me buzzing around her head. "Teddy you've lost something!" Just as she reached for it a small puff of pink smoke erupted from the back end of the broom and a scroll unfolded. "What do we have here?"
Oliver suggested she read it. Laughing Ginny did. "Ginevra Molly Weasley would you do Harry James Potter the honor of becoming his wife?" Ginny began a spin in her chair to look at Harry, but he was no longer behind her. He was kneeling beside her holding out the box with his mum's engagement ring. Ginny knocked him to the ground and snogged him senseless.
"Oi! Ginny does that mean yes?" George teased.
Ginny lifted her head and shouted "YES! I GINEVRA MOLLY WEASLEY WILL MARRY HARRY JAMES POTTER!" Soon Harry had the ring on her finger and everyone was offering toasts and congratulations to the happy couple.
Harry called Teddy over. "Teddy I want to thank you for all your help. Letting me borrow your figure of Aunt Ginny was huge! Also you and Victoire did a very good job of keeping the secret, I have something for both of you. First this is all yours." Harry handed him a complete set of UK and German World cup action figures, including a miniature quidditch stadium for them to play in.
"For the second part, Victoire could you come here?" Once she had settled on his lap he pulled out two small UK quidditch jerseys, just like Ginny's. Teddy and Victoire immediately pulled them over their heads and put them on.
George stood up. "Well don't you two look fine! You just need one more thing." He handed them each a pennant that flashed the words. "My Aunt Ginny is going to kick Germany's but!"
"Hey!" Objected Oliver. "What are the rest of us on the team, chopped liver?"
George passed out more pennants and showed everyone the spell to make them flash what ever they wanted them to say. "I figured I had better grab everybody one before we sold out!"
Later that night as Harry was telling Ginny goodnight outside her tent; "That's my Mum's engagement ring. If you want a different one we can look once we get back to the UK."
"Harry, I'm honored to wear Lilly's ring. Just try and replace it!"
It was a close match, but the UK seeker pulled it out with a spectacular catch. Ginny had scored 14 goals for the UK. Of course the news of their engagement had leaked out, but they gave only one interview about it, to Luna's dad Xeno.
Molly went mental as soon as they returned home. Harry and Ginny knew she would, after all this was her only daughter getting married. They sat the date for December 1st and Ginny firmly told her mum what she, Luna and Hermione would be wearing. Then they let Molly go. She and Kreacher spent joy filled hours discussing and arraigning the nuptials. Ginny and the UK team made the rounds as the victorious world cup champions and then they were able to take a well deserved break.
Things most certainly did not slow down at WWW. But Ron was growing restless, he loved the tinkering with new products and was surprisingly good at it, but George was a fantastic business man and they had hired spot on managers, a desk job was never going to satisfy Ron, he knew it and he also knew he would have to talk to his big brother soon
He felt the time would soon be right, George, while he would never completely loose the sense of grief over Fred, had moved on, living a healthy, happy life. The business was thriving, together they had managed to expand to multiple locations and countries and had a thriving charitable organization as well.
Hermione was settling in to her new job at the MOM. Harry was getting practical experience as an auror in the field. Hannah bought the Leaky from Tom, Neville settled in to life as a professor at Hogwarts after spending most of the summer helping Hanna clean and update the pub. Lee was thriving as a media persona, the profit was purchased by a new owner and it began to seriously clean up it's act. Rita was out of a job. Ginny began writing sports related articles as a guest journalist. Molly was finding her time was well spent and not at all lonely, managing Harry's money was easy, she also sat on the board of Freddy's kids and had a nice nest egg of her's and Arthur's to manage as well, his increase in salary, her pay as Harry's money manager and the income from the stock George and Ron had given them meant that for the first time they did not live paycheck to paycheck.
