10 Anniversary

Chapter 2

Ron's POV

I stand in my fireplace unsure if I could go or not.

" I'm a guest of honor! I have to go!" I tell myself. " But my family might not be so forgiving. And Mione, Merlin I left her heartbroken! I hope she'll still want me. She's probably working a nice job, local librarian, maybe even at Hogwarts! Yea. Got herself a nice flat, still single. That's the Mione I know! And Harry, geez I hope him and Ginny finally got together. Rather cute. "

I think about what I've left behind.

" Well at least I can say I am an Auror. I finally passed it yesterday after five years of trying. You know I have to go now. " I say to myself.

I hastily step into the fireplace holding my luggage in one hand, and floo in the other.

" BURROW!" I shout throwing it down.

I was sucked through the familiar tube like sequence as I flew out of the fireplace in my old home. I got the sofa hitting my leg.

" Ow!" I yell out.

I struggle up and realize nobody was home. I trudge up the stairs and find my room unoccupied. I set my things down and check the others. Percy's was clearly used, garbage no where, bed neatly made. I go near George's room, untouched. So we're Bill's and Charlie's. I see Ginny's room with some little boy and girl clothing littered around. I smile and see Fred's room door ajar. I peek inside and the familiar scent of burnt hair, cinnamon, and candy hit me. I take a deep breath and see some baby things, diapers and such. Curious to who was staying in Fred's room I close it and sneak back downstairs. I sit down and relax knowing it could be a while if mum just left to go shopping and Percy went to work with dad. I suddenly hear the door open and I go to see who it was. I see mum carrying groceries like I suspected. I walk over and grab 6 bags.

" Mum ask for help. You know you shouldn't be carrying ten bags. " I say.

" Ronald!" She shrieks.

I smile and we drop off the groceries before she engulfs me.

" When did you get here?" She asks.

" About 20 minutes ago mum." I say smiling.

" I see Percy is here and someone is occupying His room." I say.

We don't say Fred's name seeing as mum breaks down every time.

" Harry got here early last night and Percy is enjoying his time off of work. How is everything in America going?" She asks unpacking the noodles.

" Splendid. I have a very nice apartment and I am an auror for their Ministry. " I say.

" Wonderful! Are in any kind of relationship?" She asks.

" No mother. I've had no real connection with any women." I say.

She nods respectfully as the door opens the the chatter and laughter of children fill the air. As mum begins dinner I go to the door to greet Harry and Percy. When I get there I see two women I don't recognize, and five children, one being an infant.

" Hey Ron!" Harry says.

He comes over and shakes my hand.

" Uuuh-" I say at a loss for words.

" Oh right, this is my wife Kayla, and my three children, James Sirius Potter, Albus Severus Potter, and Johnathon Cooper Potter." Harry says pointing to each children.

" And I assume you're Ronald Weasley. I've heard so much about you." She says.

" Uh yea that's me." I say looking over to Percy.

" Ron this is my wife Audrey, and my children Lucy and Molly II." He says.

" Hello Ron." She says with a smile.

I smile weakly and wave.

" So a lot has happened since I left." I say rubbing the back of my neck.

" Yep." Percy and Harry say.

" Who's coming when?"

" George is coming in two days, Charlie we'll see the day before the ceremony, and Bill on Saturday." Harry recites.

I smile. " Well then I want to know everything that's happened." I say.

" I let England after the War. You were right, I needed some time to myself now that I had a life to play, and since my life during school was basically preparing for the war, I was free from Voldemort's grasp. I left the country and went to Scotland. I am a seeker for the Scotland team, and I met Kayla after one of my games, she was a very nice reporter and I offered her dinner to fulfill her reports. It became a regular thing, then we dated, married and had these three angels." Harry explains.

" You left Ginny?!" I exclaim.

" She took the news pretty well, better than I ever expected." Percy says.

" She became a chaser for the Holyhead Harpies, I played her a few times. No hate towards each other, we keep in contact. Like I do with everyone except Mione. She stopped returning my owls two years ago." Harry says.

" Ok.." I say trailing off.

" And I remember in one letter she asked if you were writing and I said no, you weren't writing to me, and she said neither to her or to the Weasley's. She kept close with the Weasley's after the War. Helped them. I only supposed she stopped writing when something happened. She told me a lot. " Harry adds.

" Yea.. did she ever mention in her letters that she was dating or married?"

" She might've in an early letter, but I don't know if it worked out.... I am not too sure. Then again she hardly wrote to me even. She had a lot to do. She told me she may not return owls because of work. " Harry adds

I nod. But how does a job in a library get busy?
