After Party pt 3

                                    

                                          
The rest of the night is spent dancing around to music, eating, and giving speeches. You made one as the maid of honor, and George as the best man. Aoibhe and Fred had their first dance as a married couple and then Mr. Weasley danced with Aoibhe for the father daughter dance. Everything was going splendidly, until it wasn't.
                          
You were sitting at a table with Morgan and George laughing, Morgan was massaging her foot, for she had been dancing around the place with different family members all night. You and George had your chairs so close together they were almost 1, he had his arm around you and you had your head on his shoulder. You were just about to get up and do one more slow dance before retreating into the night when you all heard the loud cracking noise from outside the tent. The musicians stopped playing and everyone turned to the entrance of the tent, where a blue figure you couldn't quite make out came running in.
                          
"The ministry has fallen" is all you heard in the booming voice of Kingsley before the screaming started. Everyone started running in different directions, you reached for Morgan but she pulled away, yelling something that sounded like "Hayden" you held on tight to George and grabbed out your wand. Beside you he did the same thing. All around you people were running and apparating away, and eventually people started apparating in. All around the remaining guests Death Eaters stood. You two ran to where Aoibhe and Fred were standing, both their wands out. "Go" you and George say to them "Get out of here, we can handle this" and it takes a moment before you watch in the chaos of it all Fred and Aoibhe apparate into the night. 
                          
You and George started deflecting spells and sending more back, trying to find all the guests in the vast tent and get them to safety. You find an elderly couple and convince them to apparate away while the death eaters are preoccupied, you see as Molly takes down 2 at once and beside her Mel and Bill are fighting another pair. You turn to George and the two of you run into the chaos, fighting as best you can, until eventually the remaining death eaters are either stunned or have apparated away.
                          
The people left gather to the middle of the room. Bill, Mel, Mr and Mrs. Weasley, Tonks, Fleur, a couple other order members and you and George. You all make sure everyone's safe before disposing of the stunned death eaters. There's almost one for each of you, and everyone grabs one and apparates away, letting go of them and apparating back. You and George are the first ones back followed by Mr. And Mrs. Weasley. They ask hurriedly where Fred and Aoibhe went, and you tell them they apparated away first chance and went to Shell Cottage, their honeymoon location.
                          
As more people apparate back you and the Weasleys wave them off, thanking them for the help and telling them to stay safe. The final people to go are Bill and Melanie, who stay a little longer to drink some tea before grabbing their things and leaving. You and George are going upstairs to your room to pack your own stuff, ready to get out of The Burrow. Mr. Weasley said he'd finish the enchantments on your apartment tomorrow morning so you could both go back. They were planning to make the apartment itself unplottable, keeping the shop open but no one will know (not even your previous captors) of the apartment above it.
                          
You're putting your bedside clock into one of the boxes when you hear George sigh deeply beside you "I second that" you say turning towards him. He flops down on side of the bed, his head hanging slightly over the edge. You walk over and do the same, placing your hands over your stomach. "This was a crazy day" you say moving one of your hands towards the middle of the tiny bed, where George's lay, and placing it around. "That it was" you can hear the weak smile in his voice as he turns your hands so his is on top. 
                          
The two of you sit there for a moment before getting up again, you determine you can finish the packing later and the two of you instead push the single sized beds together for more room and lay down on them. "Goodnight George" you whisper laying next to him "Goodnight Ro" he says moving slightly to kiss you on the forehead. You shift your body so your back is facing him and he places his arm around your waist.
                          
You wake up the next morning to a soft knock on the door which you know will be Molly. You untangle yourself from the still asleep George and walk quietly to the door. You open it and are greeted by a smiling Mrs. Weasley, holding a tray of food "I thought after last night you two deserved something good to eat" she walks by you into the room and sets the tray down on your side of the bed. On it is toast with jam, pancakes, and orange juice. You smile at her and say thanks before she leaves you to eat the food alone.
                          
You sit down on the bed, careful to not disturb the food, and shake awake George, who is now spread out on his back. "Georgie" you say quietly. He says something you can't quite make out before opening his eyes "What" he looks up at you, "Breakfast" you say laughing slightly, motioning at the plate infront of you. It takes him a moment more to acknowledge it but then he smiles and sits up. The two of you are eating peacefully, almost done with the delicious meal. You grab for your orange juice with your left hand "Hey" George says reaching over and pulling your hand away in his he looks down at your fingers "You're wearing the ring" he says, still looking down "Isn't that what you're supposed to do with engagement rings?" You ask smirking slightly. He looks up smiling at you. He leans in and kisses you deeply, you move across the bed towards him, wanting to go in deeper when you hear a clunk and something splash across your foot.
                          
You jump away and start laughing. While you were moving you knocked down the glass of orange juice and it spilt everywhere. George starts laughing too and the two of you get up and move to clean up the mess. You grab an extra towel and clean up the spill while George takes off the sheets for washing. He kisses you again before leaving the room where you stay to get dressed. You throw on some leggings and one of George's old t-shirts. Most of the packing is done, but you move to put a couple last things in your trunk before heading downstairs.
                          
In the kitchen Mrs. Weasley is waving around her wand cleaning things and George is reading a paper sipping coffee. You move towards him and kiss his cheek before helping Mrs. Weasley with the cleanup from the wedding. 
                          
You're waiting for the signal from Arthur that it's safe to leave back to the apartment, and thank goodness it comes fairly quick. An otter patronus comes through the door and gives you a coded signal that the apartment is ready for you. You and George grab your trunks before hugging Mrs. Weasley goodbye and leaving The Burrow. 
                          
You walk for a little in silence before grabbing each other's hands and apparating to the shop. You look up at the 4 story building in front of you and heave a sigh of relief. You knew once you and George got married or had kids you'd move out of here, but for now, this was the only place that felt like home.
