Chapter 11: After the War

Harry scanned the Room of Requirement until he spied her dark skin that made his mouth water. He ran to her as soon as their eyes met before picking her up and swirling her around in his arms. He barely set her down before they kissed intensely.

"I'm so glad you're safe!" Angelina got out.

"God, I missed you," Harry breathed. "Gwenog let you out then?"

Angelina eyed her boyfriend, amused. "War would be the only thing that would make her cancel practice!"

Harry laughed. "You got that right." He pulled her by the hand. "Come on. Let's go get Voldemort!"

Contingency plans were created and Percy was forgiven and welcomed back into the Weasley fold. All too soon, the Battle began. Percy dueled his old boss, Pius Thickness.

"Hello, Minister! Did I mention I'm resigning?"

"You're joking, Perce!" Fred grinned. Percy just laughed and sent another curse. "You actually ARE joking, Perce!" Fred was grinning from ear-to-ear. So much so, that he didn't notice the Imperiused Thickness send a Killing Curse his way.

"NO!" Percy leapt in front of his brother, taking the curse himself. There was an explosion and part of the castle's structure crumbled.

"No….. no….. PERCY! NO!" And Fred was shaking his brother, and George was kneeling beside them; the ghost of a last laugh etched on Percy's face.

The sun was still high in the sky and Voldemort's body was still warm when new Minister for Magic Kingsley Shacklebolt approached Harry and his now-on-again girlfriend, Angelina. He held a baby in his arms.

"Potter. With the death of Remus and Nymphadora, their boy is all orphaned. I seem to recall you were named godfather?"

Harry nodded, sad over his friends' deaths. "Absolutely. I'll take him."

As Harry rocked the baby, Angelina smiled, putting her arm around her boyfriend. "And I'll help you," she promised.

Harry grinned. "Good, because that means our new arrangement will work out."

"What new arrangement?" Angelina asked. A thought struck her. "You want to co-habitate? Move into Grimmauld Place with you?"

"More than that," Harry said and he pulled out a ring from his pocket. "Angelina Johnson, will you marry me?"

Angelina gasped, one hand to her mouth, and her eyes filled with tears. Even as she began to cry, though, she smirked, amused.

"You never were smooth with asking me out or anything, Potter." She took the ring and put it on her index finger. Then, she took his face in her hands and kissed his lips sweetly. "Yes. Of course I'll marry you, you prat!"

Harry smiled and kissed his fiancé back, the Metamorphagus baby nestled between them.

Weeks later, Angelina moved into Number 12 Grimmauld Place, with Harry and Teddy. Almost immediately following, Harry went into Auror training at the Ministry. On his days at work, Angelina stayed with the baby.

A few months later, the Quiddtich season was back in session, recovered after the war, and Angelina was ordered back to the Holyhead Harpies. While she was off playing Quidditch and Harry was at Auror Training all day, baby Teddy stayed with Molly and the other Weasleys at the Burrow.
