Sunny July 21st

Molly Weasley never imagined that her son George would elope at the age of 16—and with a pure-blood noble, no less! The entire Weasley household was in an uproar, everyone gathered in the living room, staring at George and Flami. Ron's mouth hung open so wide you could fit an egg in it.

"So, you two ran away?" Arthur asked calmly, steadying Molly, who looked like she might faint.

"Yes!" George replied confidently, his arm around Flami.

Flami, nervous but determined, held George's hand tightly. She wasn't sure how this Gryffindor family would react to her, a Slytherin, but she was ready to face whatever came next.

"Cool!" Ron and Ginny exclaimed in unison. They already liked Flami, especially Ron, who admired her ability to stand up to Joey.

Arthur sighed. "I should go to the Foley's and talk to your parents. We need to apologize for this."

Flami shook her head. "Mr. Weasley, I'm sure my family has already disowned me. I want to stay with George. We've agreed to marry after graduation."

Molly, finally recovering from her shock, stepped forward and hugged Flami. "Welcome to the Weasley family, dear. This is your home now. If your family has any demands, they can come to us."

Ginny grinned. "You can share my room! Right, George?" she teased.

George groaned, but no one paid him any attention. The Weasleys welcomed Flami with open arms.

Later that night, Dobby and Kreacher appeared in the living room with Joey and Fred. Joey stumbled out of the fireplace, looking green. "Ugh, I hate Apparition."

Fred patted her back. "You'll get used to it."

Molly handed Joey a glass of lemonade, her eyes narrowing suspiciously. "Joey, are you feeling alright? Any… stomach issues?"

Joey gulped down the lemonade. "I'm fine, Aunt Molly. Just a little queasy from the Apparition."

Molly's eyes darted to Fred, who quickly clarified. "It's not what you think, Mum. She's just not used to Apparition."

Molly sighed in relief. "Good. That's good."

Sirius arrived shortly after, sauntering in with his usual grin. "Congratulations, Molly! Another daughter-in-law!"

Molly beamed. "Thank you, Sirius."

Sirius waved off her thanks. "I've sorted things with the Fawley's. Flami can keep her name until the wedding. No need to worry."

Flami's eyes filled with gratitude. "Thank you, Sirius."

Sirius winked. "Just make sure the joke shop makes me rich."

The next morning, Flami received several parcels from her family. Inside were her belongings and a letter from her mother: "Bless you, my daughter."

Joey expected Flami to cry or burn the items, but instead, Flami sorted through them, selling the most valuable pieces to a secondhand shop.

"I need the money," Flami explained. "The joke shop is doing well, but we'll need more investment soon."

Joey frowned. "But Sirius is investing. Isn't that enough?"

Flami rolled her eyes. "We can't rely on Sirius forever. We need to be self-sufficient."

Joey nodded, though she didn't fully understand. "So, what's my job?"

Flami smirked. "You're in charge of maintaining order in the shop. If anyone causes trouble, steals, or copies our ideas, you handle it."

Joey's eyes lit up. "So, I'm the enforcer?"

Ryan, lounging nearby, chimed in. "In other words, the thug."

Joey pouted. "I prefer 'enforcer.'"
