Harry Potter and What Happened After - Sahits

Chapter 10
Ron Apparated right into his brother's joke shop and found George waiting for him, a sad smile on his
face.
"Hey little bro," said George as Ron appeared, "what's with the bag?" he asked, indicating the large
sack that Ron still had in his hands.
"It's the payment from the Firebolt people," said Ron as he too looked around the shop, and noticed that
it looked fully stocked and ready to open. "The shop looks ready," he said, "what did you need me for?"
"I wanted your opinion on something," said George as he pulled a large rectangular package from
behind the counter. "I had this made," he said as he unwrapped the package, "I wanted to know if you
thought I should hang it over the counter or not."
He finished unwrapping the package and held up a portrait of what looked to be him, except the portrait
had both ears. Then Ron noticed the plaque at the bottom that read, Fred Weasley (1977-1998) Brother,
Friend, Inventor.
After a few second, which Ron took to compose himself after seeing the portrait, Ron said, "I think it's
perfect."
"Good, because I don't want my lovely visage hidden in the back room," said the painted Fred, "now
then, George, put me up so I may survey my glorious kingdom."
"Just don't scare the customers," said George as he put up the portrait of his dead twin.
Ron nodded when George was done and asked, "Do you want any help?"
"No, Angelina and I can handle it," said George as he nodded towards the backroom.
"Angelina, you mean Angelina Johnson?" asked Ron
"Yes little brother," said Fred, "and I think ol' lug nuts here has started to fancy her."
"Keep your voice down you git," whispered George as his face turned a deep red, "I don't want
Angelina to know just yet."
"Right," said Ron as he headed towards the door, "well I'm off, I'm going to…get something for
Hermione quickly."
As Ron walked out he heard George say, "If those two don't get engaged by the end of the summer than
I win the bet,"
"How are you going to collect from a dead man?" asked Fred.
Then the door closed and the rest of the conversation was lost to Ron. He looked around Diagon ally,
wondering at how fast it had started to re-build it self. As he walked up the street towards his
destination he found that Olivander had already re-opened his wand shop. And as he walked on more
and more people started to recognize him, a group of girls that couldn't have been older than 13 even
started to follow him.
When he reached his destination, a small jewelry store with the name Tollfon's over the door in fancy
letters, a jewelry store that his family had used for generations, he let a small smile spread across his
face. He thought it quite funny that there was a small gaggle of girls following him, probably hopping
that he would sweep them off their feet, when he was going to buy an engagement ring.
He closed the door and walked up to the counter where a wizard in his late 30's was looking at
