RON WEASLEY continues to work as an Auror, making a long career in the department. He has his share of injuries and a few conflicts with colleagues over the years, but he loves the work, is good at it, and enjoys mentoring trainees. In the early years, Ron thrives while working under Rachel Brodie, but after her departure, he has a series of bosses who are just that, bosses. And it turns out Ron doesn't really mind as the job loses the gloss of freedom fighting and becomes the more mundane work of sustaining Albion's peace and security.

The Aurors, it should be noted, while continuing to exist, cease to be an elite unit within the Magical Law Enforcement department and become a unit within Albion's larger security and intelligence service. (Wizard enforcers also have units within the larger metropolitan and regional police services across Albion.)

Ron and Sally-Anne have a solid marriage, but it does get routine as time goes on, and it doesn't help that he enjoys his work a lot more than Sally-Anne enjoys hers. Ron is bemused when Sally-Anne decides to leave healing for more study and then becomes a researcher. The years of transition between one career and the next are the most challenging of their marriage, but they come through it together and end up happier for her having made these changes.

They wait a while to have children, eventually having four. (Sally-Anne thinks three might be nice; Ron thinks six or seven; they compromise. As you do.) In the meantime, Ron gives Tonks roses and a bottle of firewhisky every year on Mothering Sunday to thank her for providing Molly with grandsprogs and keeping the pressure off them.

You know the rest: pick-up Quidditch matches at the weekends; drinks parties and pub nights with friends; family suppers; annual vacations to Majorca or Crete or Paris or the Scilly isles (sometimes with friends); and Christmas puddings, Ron's handmade crackers, the twins' hilarity, and Molly's jumpers every December. Ginny continues to be Ron's favourite youngest sister, and he loves being an uncle (officially or otherwise) to Bea and Adam, and other small people as they enter his life.

Ron and Sally-Anne drink their way through the wine and whisky stores from 12 Grimmauld Place, bequeathed to him by Sirius Black, and to the end of his days, Ron treasures the chess set that was also part of that bequest.
