Bill and Fleur had just finished dinner when there was a knock on their front door.
Not expecting company, Bill looked through the peephole and it took him a few seconds to realize the mousy haired young man on the other side was his usually teal haired nephew. He pulled the door open and greeted the young man, “Evening, Teddy.”
“Hi, Uncle Bill,” Teddy cleared his throat. “I mean, Mr. Weasley.” He cleared his throat again. “Can we talk?”
Bill smiled knowingly to himself before stepping aside and letting Teddy into the house. He had known this day was coming.
“’ello, Teddy,” Fleur smiled, greeting their nephew with a kiss on each cheek. “’ow are you?”
“Fine, fine,” Teddy stammered.
“Do you mind giving us a few minutes, Fleur?” Bill asked. “Teddy came over to talk to me about something.”
She gave him a questioning look that quickly changed into one of knowing. “Absolutely, I ‘ill be upstairs,” she said.
Once they we alone, Bill walked over to a cabinet and took out a bottle of fire whiskey and poured a shot for himself and one for Teddy. He knew it was exactly what Teddy needed to get over his nerves; he himself had drunk a whole bottle of the stuff before he had approached Fleur’s dad.
“Here, drink this,” he said, holding the drink out “It’ll help.”
Teddy eyed the drink for a second before picking it up and throwing it back. He made a small face as the liquid burned his throat and set the shot glass down on the table with a clank.
“Mr. Weasley, I love your daughter Victoire,” Teddy said, his cheeks flushed from the cold outside and the fire whiskey. “I want to marry her.”
“She’ll be done with school at the end of June,” he continued before giving Bill a say anything. “And I’ve been saving money since I started working at the joke shop for Uncle George. Plus, I’m almost done with my Auror training and that is a steady job.
“As for where we’ll live, I’ll inherit Grandmum’s house someday, but dad said that Victoire and I can rent Number 12 in the mean time. Though mum says the rent won’t be much, just enough to make us responsible adults.”
Teddy seemed to run out of things to say then and Bill remained silent as he poured them each a second shot of fire whiskey. Teddy quickly grabbed his and threw it back, his grimace less apart this time.
“I can’t think of a better man for my Viccy to marry,” Bill said, with a smile. “You have my blessing.”
Teddy let out a relieved laugh.
“I don’t think I need to remind you that secrets don’t last too long in our family,” Bill said. “So I wouldn’t tell too many people what you’re planning.”
“I won’t,” Teddy said. “Just you, Aunt Fleur, mum, dad and Grandmum will know.”
By Christmas morning, rumors were spreading throughout the Weasley Christmas gathering about an upcoming proposal. Even more so after Teddy and Victoire left the house for an after dinner walk.
When they returned, they were both beaming and Victoire was wearing a shiny diamond ring.
