Sunny on August 15

Joey and Fred were overthinking things. Dumbledore's return shattered the confidence of the Death Eaters still lurking in the castle. Many tried to escape through the Vanishing Cabinet, but the Aurors, along with members of the Order of the Phoenix, hunted them down and escorted them to the Ministry of Magic for trial.

Kreacher led the house-elves in cleaning up the castle. With their peculiar magic, they restored Hogwarts to its former glory, save for a few statues and portraits that couldn't be repaired. The professors and prefects conducted a final sweep of the castle, relieved to find that, despite numerous injuries, no one had died.

Percy, who had been frantic with worry, hugged George tightly when he returned. George, though annoyed, patted his brother's back. "I'm fine, Percy. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to talk to my girlfriend."

Arthur and Linda, who had returned from the cemetery, were relieved to find their children safe. Luther held Joey in a tight embrace, while Molly ruffled Fred's hair affectionately.

Flami, meanwhile, was busy tending to wounded Slytherin students. Madam Pomfrey praised her skills and even offered her a position at Hogwarts after graduation. "I can't keep relying on Severus for potions. You'd make an excellent assistant," she said. Professor Snape, standing nearby, rolled his eyes but said nothing.

Fudge arrived at Hogwarts looking haggard, his bowtie askew and a bloodstain on his face. He delivered a dry speech of consolation and praise, but no one was particularly impressed.

"Fudge got that scratch from Umbridge," Sirius whispered to Joey and Fred, his face still stiff from a curse. "She turned out to be a Death Eater. Fudge tried to confront her, but she tore into him. Oh, it's painful not being able to laugh properly."

Joey patted Sirius sympathetically. "At least your wrinkles aren't as noticeable."

"Wrinkles? I don't have wrinkles!" Sirius protested, pulling out a mirror. "Alice said I look youthful just the other day!"

"Alice from the other night?" Fred asked, intrigued.

"Oh, it's been many nights now, my friend," Sirius said with a wink. "You've got a lot to learn."

The students from Beauxbatons and Durmstrang left the next day. Before departing, Fleur hugged Fred twice, much to Joey's annoyance. Joey later found two notes with names and addresses in her pockets, slipped there by Durmstrang boys. Angelina advised her not to tell Fred. "He has no right to stop you from making friends," she said firmly.

Dumbledore gave an interview to Rita Skeeter, announcing Voldemort's definitive defeat. Rita, for once, wrote a straightforward and accurate article, which became the best-selling edition of the "Daily Prophet". Flami, ever the strategist, had secured an ad space for Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes, which opened to massive crowds in Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade.

With Fred and George returning to Hogwarts for their final year, Kreacher and Dobby managed the stores. Sirius, now their benefactor, ensured they were well-compensated, earning even Hermione's approval.

Ryan, now a promising politician in the Ministry's Law Enforcement Division, faced challenges in his personal life. Angelina rejected his marriage proposal, opting to focus on her Quidditch career. Ryan, undeterred, threw his support behind Joey and Fred's Quidditch club plans, paving the way for their future.

Seventh year was grueling. Joey, despite not choosing Potions, found herself stuck in Snape's class. "Why does he insist on torturing me?" she grumbled. The only bright spot was Firenze, the centaur, who joined as the new Divination teacher. Joey regretted not taking the class.

Fred proposed to Joey on Christmas, presenting her with a diamond ring from Egypt. The news spread quickly, and Luther's howler arrived at the Room of Requirement, nearly giving Fred a heart attack. George and Flami, meanwhile, faced their own challenges when Hufflepuffs interrupted their date in the greenhouse.

The N.E.W.T.s loomed large. Linda warned Joey that failing would mean being disowned, while Luther threatened Fred with the same if he didn't excel. The couple studied relentlessly, and after the final exam, Joey tossed her books into the Black Lake in a fit of triumph—only to be sprayed with ink by the giant squid.

As the Hogwarts Express carried them away, Joey watched the castle disappear, tears streaming down her face. "When can we go back?" she whispered. Fred held her close, comforting her.

August 15th was a perfect day—sunny and bright. The Weasley twins were getting married! Molly was beside herself, unable to find a second crown as precious as Aunt Muriel's. Joey and Flami suggested sharing, but Molly insisted on fairness.

Flami's crown, a family heirloom, sparkled with diamonds. "My mother's dowry," she said softly, touching it reverently.

Fred and George, dressed in contrasting suits, waited at the Burrow, now transformed into a floral wonderland thanks to Cedric's magic. When Joey and Flami emerged, hand in hand, Ginny whispered to Harry, "It feels like Joey and Flami are marrying each other."

The ceremony was magical. Professor Snape, standing in as Flami's father, earned Molly's endless gratitude. Luther, emotional throughout, dabbed his eyes with a handkerchief as he watched Joey dance with Fred.

The reception was a showcase of Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes. Children chased broomstick toys that shot fireworks, Ron conjured roses for Hermione, and Harry was swarmed by curious Weasley relatives. Cedric and Cho shared a quiet moment under a tree, while George and Flami endured a stern lecture from Snape.

As the night wore on, Fred whispered to Joey, "Mrs. Weasley, ready to sneak away?"

Joey grinned. "What's the plan, Mr. Weasley?"

Fred led her to a secluded spot by a stream, surrounded by lilies. The air was filled with the scent of flowers and the sound of flowing water. Fred pulled Joey into his arms, their lips meeting in a tender kiss.

"I've been waiting four years for this, Joeywobbles," Fred murmured, his voice filled with love.

And under the starlit sky, surrounded by the beauty of the night, Joey and Fred began their new life together.
