Ron Weasley

Coda

2015-09-02T00:21:02Z

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.

Say. There's a thing tonight that Malfoy and Hermione and Hydra are throwing at Malfoy Manor, and I asked around and got them to say it's okay if you come. Would you want to?

I think Charlie's going to be there, at least for a bit. And the rest of the family. Oh, Rachel, too, I guess.

Up to you. And, I mean, if you don't think it's something you want to do, I could come see you for a while, maybe?

Say. I reckon you're already asleep, but you can read it tomorrow or whenever you've got time enough between lessons to do it!

I'm sorry I left so soon from the Great Hall this afternoon. I mean, with my mum there and everyone else who came to have a look at the baby, I was just an extra body and kinda in the way.

And, well. I reckon I just didn't feel like being in the middle of so many people all at once, either.

But I'm sorry I missed the chance to really catch up with you. I thought, y'know, when you came to stay at the castle to help with the potions work, that we'd have more time to see each other, but then-- well, then everything.

Anywiz, I wanted to say that I hope you have a brilliant first year at school.

I know I was supposed to be off-shift today, but I can't. And it's not as if there's not work out that needs people assigned to it.

So assign me.

Hope you're awake. Draco and I need a legilimens. Is Montague reachable? Didn't want to just write him out in the open.

We've got Rigel Lestrange and he's... a handful. Has some kind of power over people. I had to keep transforming to break it, but it was a lot quicker and more... anywiz, Draco needs help with Rigel and I need help with both of them.

We looked for Hydra, but she's not here. Actually we looked for Hydra because that's who Rigel wants, but it would have been brilliant because she's also just what we need.

Nevermind. Just- are you able to get Montague for us?

Sorry I didn't get back this morning. Seemed stupid to Apparate all the way up there to sleep for two hours and then have the long jump back to NL.

How're the plans for the move coming? Sorry I can't help at all. Well, actually not so very sorry. I'm sure you and Pans'll find us a perfect place.

Anywiz, I'm going to kip now for a bit.

Have a good day, you. See you on the far side.

I'm in place with good cover. And I gave the area a thorough going over snakewise, first, so I know where the blind approaches are. I should hear anyone coming before they get here.

Transforming again now, so I won't hear a notificio or be checking in until I'm finished. I'll see you when I get home. Promise I'll wake you.

I, uh. I just sent an elf to check on Honoria Sandoval. Justin was worried about her and said we had to find her.

She's in her quarters. Dead.

The elf says she looks like she fell. Anyway, she's on the floor.

Do you want me to go in and see or do you want to come? I mean, before we call a Healer in. If there's nothing they can do for her, anyway.

I'm back, but had to stop up to the hospital wing. I'll be alright, but I got caught out by an Enforcer in Hyde Park. Used the re-transformation spell on me. Bit of a duel. It's alright. They won't find the body, and no one else came along to see any of it.

I do have a report on the preparations they're making, but the really interesting thing is they're bringing in a group of Merfolk to do some sort of entertainment. That's what they're being so cagey about in all the adverts they're running. It's meant to be a big warm, happy surprise, I reckon. Anywiz, I think someone ought to go have a word with our lot down the Lake and see if there's anything we could do to turn an advantage.

If you're in, I'll come by as soon as the Healer clears me. (Don't want Charlie getting the idea I'm trying to sneak in and have a visit, anyway.)

D'you know whether Finnigan and Montague are staying tonight at the castle again? Lunch was interesting. Suppose it's not nice, turning the tables on him like that, but it did make the sarnies taste better.

Hey.

It's brilliant you're back. Best news since we heard we'd got Ginny home. Seriously, this has been a week!

I hear they're expecting you'll be in the hospital wing for a while yet, and I reckon that means the curse damage is still pretty fierce. Is there anything you need that I could get you? I could send it in with Sally Anne even if I'm not cleared to see you.

I did get to see Gin today. They're keeping her at one of the safehouses, which is probably necessary for now. Under the circumstances. I stayed through supper, and I'll go back for a while tomorrow. After work, I reckon, but I promised I'd come, and she seemed glad for the company.

She's really upset about- loads of stuff. Losing her job, for one thing. She really liked being on the WWN. Hope you didn't have a chance to hear her programme. It was rough listening to it, but she thinks it was brilliant. I just let her tell me about all that, and about people she's been spending time with, and things like the summer festivals in New London, because she went along to some of those.

I stayed away from talking about family, for the most part, but she likes to turn a conversation around to that. Anywiz, the healers are hoping that if she has time and rest and feels safe, she'll shake off what they did to her. I hope they're right.

I added Madam Pomfrey to this because I didn't know if you're able to read much yet, or whether you can even read messages under the lock again. (So maybe Madam P could read this for you if you can't.) I'll ask Rachel about that when I see her tomorrow, I guess, but I wanted to write you now just to say it's dead brilliant you're home and as soon as they'll let me, I'll come see you.

How are you, anyway?

Linus Moon's just been up here, asking if someone could go check on his family at their holiday cottage in Torquay. Says he hasn't been able to contact them for several days, and the owls he's sent refuse to go back out for re-delivery, which I admit is odd. He'd go himself, I'm sure, but it was obvious he's got a bad feeling about what could have happened-

Anywiz, wanted to let you know I'm going myself. Taking Brindl with me. If we need backup, we'll signal.

Hydra was at the Moons' last Tuesday night, and said it looked like they were away. I didn't tell Moon that. Or that she'd said it looked as if Crouch had been there ahead of her and gone away again. She hoped the Moons had dodged a hex, so to speak, but maybe not. Or maybe they got a warning about Crouch and decided to hide, but you'd expect a post owl to find them. And everyone knows by now that Crouch is dead. At any rate, Moon says they should still be in Torquay, so that's where we'll start.

Here's the list as far as we've been able to piece it together this week. Mind you, every time I think I've got them all, WWN reports another. Or The Prophet.

Speaking of which, we've picked up a good informant at the paper this week. Bloke called Cornelius Verbosen, and he's got good ties to the news staff at WWN. Anywiz, Verbosen works the crime desk and has press access to Buckingham, which I think means he gets briefings from Ptolemy Baddock, so there're definitely controls on what he finds out, but he makes it sound as if he's got other people who sometimes talk to him off the record. Could, of course, be a plant, feeding us information, but most of what he's given me here checks out with our other sources. Some of it's unique to him, but we don't have a good way to get confirmation for some of these reports because of location or DEMLE involvement.

I've got a few more names for your list:

Oh, and the fifth body in Wiltshire was a Muggleborn servant. We don't know the name, but I think you should include him in the list somehow.
