alt_billBILL WEASLEY continues to work with helping to set up the new transitional government, but after a year, he steps down. Next, he works on a development team that creates journals for every citizen of Albion, magical and muggle both. The project is a success, allowing each child of Albion to receive a journal in their 11th year (with various locking options which are truly private, not just 'private' in the way the government pretends).
He and Rachel have several good years together. Bill has realized that essentially, Rachel is an adrenaline junkie, and things work best between them as long as the adventures keep coming. They travel, mountain climb, white water raft, ski, etc. Rachel enjoys the most hair-rising rides on George's small aeroplane.
But while both of them have strong sex drives, Bill is monogamous, but Rachel is not. She has several affairs and gets caught. Bill hates the affairs, but he truly loves her and he hates the lying more. Rachel agrees to be open about her relationships, but she can tell how much he hates it. She stops being honest and gets caught again. And the marriage ends, messily and unhappily, about six years after it started.
Bill consults on projects for Fred and George for awhile, and runs a small, eclectic used bookstore on the side. On a buying trip for the bookstore, he meets a woman running her own bookstore who used to be in the Resistance; in fact, she was a muggleborn, one of the midwives that Arthur and Norma Brownmiller arranged to allow to ply her trade among muggles by hiding her in plain sight by using misleading bookkeeping.
After a long and somewhat cautious courtship (Bill was badly hurt with the breakup of his marriage), he and Jeannette Somerset marry and eventually have three boys: Hugh, Art and Reece. Hugh and Reece attend Hogwarts and are sorted into Gryffindor and Slytherin respectively. The middle one, Art, is a squib, and a great favourite of his Uncle George (Art eventually joins the staff of Albion Enterprises and is groomed to be part of the next generation to run the company.)
Eventually, Bill and Rachel mend their fences enough to occasionally meet for drinks and carry on a civil conversation once every three months or so.
Once all the boys are born, Bill takes a job in the marketing department of Ley Line Press, which publishes books of interest to both muggle and magical readers.
