Note: So many brilliant writers to thank:

JKR, the one and only.

gm_weasley started it all, with the tiniest suggestion of this pairing in the beautiful "Variations on a Happily Ever After," best described with its own summary: "All was eventually well, but it took nineteen years to get there." Unfortunately, it seems the story has been either taken down or locked, but it used to be here.

sundancekid's "September when it comes" is a fantastic portrait of Teddy over the years. And, now I think about it, the sixth of the Septembers in that story may well have inspired some of the events in Chapter 11 of this story.

With permission, I've used Fernwithy's inspired choice of name for Kingsley's son, from the delightful "Teddy Lupin and the Forest Guard." The name was so perfect, in fact, that I had to let my version of Kingsley have children just so I could use it.

Rosemaryandrue's wonderful "Rising Storm" universe has unquestionably influenced how I see the characters of Andromeda and Ted during the years of the first war.

And Molly running a home school for pre-Hogwarts-aged kids comes from Sam Starbuck (aka Copperbadge)'s fantastic "Stealing Harry" series.

SATURDAYS AT THE SHOP WITH GEORGE

Summary: Without quite meaning to, Angelina drops by Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes to see George. Without meaning to at all, she keeps going back.

Originally a companion piece to Chambers (expanding on the scene where Ginny runs into Angelina in Diagon Alley) but it also stands alone.

Characters: Angelina Johnson and George Weasley

Warnings: None

Words: 2,600

Note: I know my George here is a much soberer one than the George we know from the books. I do think he must have gone through a very hard time after Fred died, but I also fully believe that with time he will get his humour and his zest for life back!

Thanks go to JKR.
