Casey proposed on February 6, 2016, with a Harry Potter themed proposal, complete with spells that "actually worked," culminating in a custom-brass snitch containing the ring. 

Rachel has been taking her Texas Teacher Certification tests and Hogwarts has taken notice of her promise. A few years ago Rachel was paired with her wand in Ollivander’s wand shop and has self­identified as a Hufflepuff for as long as the world has known of Hogwarts’ existence. A recruiter has been dispatched with the task of acquiring new instructors for the school and has been finally been granted the latitude to recruit from the muggle community.

Recruiter: Maggie

­­­

[Rachel arrives with Ashley; likely through the garage. RECRUITER is pacing, impatiently near the sliding glass door. Upon seeing Rachel enter...]

RECRUITER: Oh thank heavens, you’re here Rachel! I wasn’t sure I had the right house... anyway, allow me to introduce myself. I’m ______________ _____________, a recruiter from Hogwarts. We’ve been watching you and noticed you’ve taken an interest in becoming a teacher again. Ever since Ms. Rowling wrote her expose of the wizarding world, we’ve been keeping pretty quiet and haven’t recruited out of the muggle world for quite some time. You caught our attention during your wand selection at Ollivander’s and I finally managed to convince the muckety mucks to make an exception for someone so.... exceptional.

(beat)

Something is missing....

[RECRUITER begins to look around. Ashley brings forward RACHEL’s yellow and black Hufflepuff cloak]

.. Yes! A cloak! We completely agree with your Hufflepuff sorting, through and through, just and true.

[The Cloak is placed about RACHEL’s shoulders and fastened.]

I think you’ll find your wand is already inside your cloak. Marvelous.

[Recruiter pulls back curtain and guides RACHEL outside to location (1) ]

Oh my, it’s a bit dark isn’t it? LUMOS!

[A string of lights are turned on as the RECRUITER flicks her wand into the air.]

Ah! Much better. Now... what we have here is a series of simple charms to gauge your innate magical power. As I’ve said, we’ve been watching you for some time... you’ll do just fine. This is mostly a formality.

(beat)

First, a simple levitation charm. I assume you know the spell?

RACHEL: Wingardrium Leviosa!

[RACHEL swishes and flicks her wand in the direction of (2) The Wingardrium Station. A bright light illuminates the station as a white feather slowly begins to float upward into the air and out of view, bright light fades.]

RECRUITER: Wonderful! You really got a hold of that one! I knew you’d be fine. OK! Next up is the water conjuring spell...

[RECRUITER points RACHEL to (3) The Aguamenti station, next to Wingardrium.]

RACHEL: Aguamenti!

[A bright light illuminates the station as water slowly starts to fill a vase filled with flowers with no apparent source.]

RECRUITER: Absolutely brilliant. Nearly done!

[RECRUITER walks RACHEL to (4) The Alohomora station, a thin flimsy door with chains hanging from it that appears to be free­standing in the air.]

As you can see, we have quite the impassable locked door here. Lastly, would you so kindly use the unlocking charm?

RACHEL: Alohomora!

[The chains fall from the top of the door and hit the ground with a crash. The door itself falls to the ground allowing them to pass.]

RECRUITER: Now Rachel! No need to flaunt, we already knew you were quite powerful. I’m impressed. Easy, no? Excellent, that is all I needed to see. I stashed a few brooms just around the corner. There’s a portkey very close to here... we could walk it but a broom ride just sounds excellent on such a beautiful....

[As they round the corner toward (5) the string of lights turns off and a Dementor blocks their path.]

(Scared.) Oh my! A dementor! He must have followed me here...

[Fumbling with her wand]

Oh my, I am not equipped to handle this...

[The Dementor reaches in RACHEL’s direction]

He’s after you! Why is it after you?! Rachel do something! Quickly!

RACHEL: Expecto Patronum!

[A screen behind the dementor begins to illuminate with the figure of a Corgi Patronus. The Dementor is obviously affected by this and begins to recoil from Rachel.]

RECRUITER: A corgi patronus? How cute! Quickly! Let’s get out of here! The brooms are just around the bend.

[RECRUITER and RACHEL go around a tree and approach a black screen and stop just before it.]

RECRUITER: Here we are... Accio brooms!

[Two people emerge from the side of the black screen. One carrying an orange glitter­ covered broom, the other carrying a mop. The orange broom is handed to RECRUITER, the mop to RACHEL.]

Sorry­ it’s the best I could do on such short notice. It’ll get you there, we can get you a new broom in Diagon Alley. Ready to ride?

[They mount their brooms and from the side of the black screen, a third person emerges carrying a box fan, in hand. The box fan is turned on and held directly in front of them.]

(Yelling into the wind.) I love the feeling of the wind on my face... isn’t this fun?!

[After a few beats, the fan is turned off. The two broom deliverers emerge from the rear of the screen and take the brooms from RECRUITER and RACHEL.]

This way, Rachel. The portkey is just over here.

[The two go around the black screen, to the right, and a few yards from where they stand, they see a DEATH EATER attempting to break the protective screen of the portkey. A red light illuminates a snitch inside of a protective veil.]

Oh no! A Death Eater is trying to use the portkey. We must stop them!

(Yells at Death Eater.) Hey! Get away from there!

[RECRUITER attempts to draw her wand but fumbles. DEATH EATER looks in her direction, flicks his wand, and silently disarms RECRUITER. Her wand flies from her hand. He looks for a moment at the both of them and quickly rolls up his sleeve revealing the dark mark. He points his wand at his arm and suddenly time slows down.]

RECRUITER: No! (Speaking in slow motion.) Dis..arm... him!

[DEATH EATER’s wand is slowly moving toward the Dark Mark on his arm.]

RACHEL: Expelliarmus!

[DEATH EATER’s wand flies from his hand. He double takes from the wand to RACHEL and runs away.]

RECRUITER: You did it, Rachel. Absolutely amazing. I knew I was right about you. Go open your portkey­ your future awaits! I will meet you on the other side.

[RACHEL approaches the snitch portkey which is now illuminated with white light. There is an opening she reaches through and opens the snitch, revealing a ring.]

Casey gets a fiance.

Thanks to Maggie, Saaket, Gwyneth, Audrey, Dustin, Reed, Ashley, Zach, Jessi, Alex, Natalie, & Ryan for all of your help!
