A/N: This is a work of fiction using the characters from Harry Potter that are trademarked by J.K. Rowling


Harry and Fleur were at the Burrow for their monthly Weasley dinner. Molly was busy in the Kitchen as she tried to make sure everything was perfect, and Ginny was doing her best to help where she could. Percy was playing a game of Wizard's chess with Ron while Audrey, Percy's wife, called out unhelpful tips to both players. George, Angelina and Arthur were on the couch chatting with Charlie about the new dragons that had arrived at the Sanctuary.

Harry stood by the fireplace with one arm wrapped around Freud's waist while they caught up with Bill and Hermione. Bill was still worked for Gringotts while Hermione had just been promoted to the Department of Magical Law Enforcement.

"Dinner" Molly hollered from the Kitchen and the whole family quickly walked towards the table while the food floated and settled itself on the tabletop.

Harry held out Fleur's chair for her before he settled down beside her and rested one hand on her knee and gave it a small squeeze. Fleur shot him a soft look before she was pulled into a conversation with Audrey.

The food was dished out and consumed with gusto. Harry sat back in his chair, silent, and observed everything around him. This surrogate family had changed and grown so much and even after all the loss they had endured Harry was glad to hear the raucous laughter and lively chatter that filled the Burrow.

The conversations had lulled while Molly brought out the desert. Harry and Fleur shared a look and decided that this was the perfect time.

Harry cleared his throat and called everyone's attention to him and Fleur as they stood from their seats. He griped Fleur's hand tight and gulped when he caught sight of eleven pairs of eyes focused solely on him. He never did well with public speaking and as he stood there he could feel himself start to sweat. He steeled his nerves because they had decided that since this was his 'family' that he would be the one to tell them and Fleur would tell her family next weekend.

"I…I mean we" he said pointing between himself and Fleur, "have news…not bad news" he rushed to re-assure them, "good news…" he trailed off nervously. Harry cleared his throat and begun again, "Everybody. We have an announcement" he yelled out far too loudly for the small space they were in and his voice echoed in the silent room.

Fleur looked sympathetically at her sinking partner and decided to jump in and help out, "We're getting married!" Fleur announced with a blinding smile and she thrust her hand forward to showcase the modest, but still extravagant diamond ring that rested on her finger.

Cheers and congratulations flew through the air. Hermione pulled Harry into a bone crushing hug while Molly, Angelina and Audrey pulled Fleur away to gush over the ring.

Harry accepted the back slaps and heart handshakes from each Weasley. The couple were so distracted they didn't notice Ginny as she ran up the stairs, teary eyed.
