Chapter One
The Wedding
The burrow was filled with a variety of people. Several red haired children ran around the fields and several imposing en and women stood silently in the chaos. People were chatting in both English and French. Among the ruckus in the house, several floors up, three teenagers lay lazily on a bed.
"So has her condition changed?" the black haired one asked, concerned.
"Nothing. How many D.A members and their families are going to stay at Grimwald place?" the red haired man asked, trying not to talk about his love's condition.
"Well, all of them. That's eighteen people right off the back them I got a list of family members. Including the D. A. members, there are fifty one people to house."
"Harry, how can we fit fifty people in one house?" the red haired woman asked.
Harry sighed and flexed his gloved hand. "Kreacher!"
The old elf appeared in the middle of the room. "Master called?" then he muttered. "ungrateful half blood, if only my mistress knew what the scum drags in the house-"
"Kreacher, is there a way to ft fifty people in Grimwald place?" Kreacher's eyes bulged.
"No! Kreacher won't tell. Won't won't won't!" he was clearly hiding something.
"Kreacher I demand that you tell us what you are hiding." Harry said.
"Kreacher knows that there is a black mansion that you inherited." He whimpered.
"Where is it?" Ginny asked, interestedly. Kreacher shook his head.
"Kreacher does not know." He replied. "Filthy blood traitors."
"You may go now." Harry dismissed him. They heard Mrs. Weasley's voice come from downstairs.
"Harry, Ron, Ginny!" she called. "Get ready. The ceremony starts in four hours!"
They groaned. Bill and Fleur "Phlegm's" wedding was being held only a couple days before they returned to Hogwarts.
A couple of weeks ago, Harry had stolen a tablet from a muggle museum that held information about the four remaining horcruxes. It was written in runic and he discovered a message on the tablet when it hit the moonlight. The different phases of the moon revealed different inscriptions. Hermione worked on the runic writing and translated this message:
'Be where treasure seeker, for what you seek is guarded most preciously, the one who is faithful to his master is rewarded in silver. Be where, the rat hides everywhere, for he guards the secret.'
Upon hearing this, Harry concluded that Wormtail knows where at least one horcrux lies.
When she was working on the translation, Hermione's body was taken over by an ancient spirit that resided in the tablet. Her personality was lost in the matter of days and now the entity has complete control of her body.
Harry, Ron, Ginny, and Hermione found a horcrux and successfully retrieved it. Wormtail was reading from the Book of Ravenclaw which was the horcrux and escaped when Harry arrived, losing a chance to find out the location to a second horcrux.
Harry reawakened the D.A. to stop Voldemort from making himself immortal. They failed.
When hurry got back, he destroyed the horcruxes spirit, which mutated his hand. It is ten times as strong as a human.
"I'll see you later." Ginny said to Harry and kissed him lightly, almost teasingly then left Ron's room.
"Must you do that in front of me?" Ron complained. "I mean seriously get a room." Then realizing what he said he corrected himself. "Just to snog. No shagging until Ginny is out of school." Harry reddened.
"Ron, if Ginny and I, well um, you know, that will be our decision when she is ready, whether that is after she graduates or when she is still in school." He opened the dresser that Mrs. Weasley had provided and pulled out an emerald dress robe. He put on a black dress shirt and black pants, then unbuttoned the dress robe and put it on.
It was an unusual design. It had a long collar and it had a muggle civil war uniform look to it, with three buttons. He rummaged through his trunk until he found the phoenix tear and put it on. Ron was wearing a navy dress robe of a similar design.
They went downstairs into the throng of people, waiting for Ginny. After what seemed like ages Ginny and Hermione walked down the stairs. Harry stared at Ginny.
She was wearing a sleeveless gold dress robe that ended at her ankles. The dress perfected her every curve. The skirt parted in an upside down V, revealing her legs. Her hair was up in a pony tail, leaving a few strands loose around her face. She was wearing the crystal necklace that Harry had given her for her birthday. Upon seeing her, Harry had to admit, she was seductively sexy.
"You look absolutely gorgeous." Harry exclaimed, kissing her hand. "Ms. Weasley, may I accompany you to the fireplace?" she smiled.
"Why, yes you may Mr. Potter."
He then noticed Ron and Hermione. Her eyes were back to normal.
"Hermione, it's you!" he hugged her.
"Yes. The spirit was so kind to let me attend the wedding." She was wearing a sapphire blue dress robe very much alike Ginny's.
"Do you like this arrangement?" Ron asked, perplexed. Hermione hesitated.
"It's very interesting." She replied slowly.
"I can't believe you 'mione! This thing takes over your body without your consent and you think it's interesting?"
"Well, yes."
"You're crazy." Ron replied.
"Ron…" Ron sighed.
"I'm sorry mione; it's just that the recent events have taken a lot out of me."
"I accept your apology." She took Ron's arm and they joined the line to the floo.
"Well let's go." Harry said and walked Ginny to the floo.
They stepped out of the fireplace to find that they were in what appeared to be a magical chapel. Several people were there already and for a moment Harry had no idea where to go.
"Harry, Ginny!" Mrs. Weasley came bustling through the crowd.
"There's a preparation tent outside for the grooms and bridesmaids."
"Then I'll see you two later." Harry made for one of the pews, but Mrs. Weasley stopped him.
"Nonsense dear, I'm sure Bill would be honored to have you as a groom, I know Fleur will. Besides, Ginny needs an escort."
"Thanks Mrs. Weasley." Harry replied and followed Ginny to the tent.
Inside it was utter mayhem. Men were running about looking for their wands and cuffs and the women were putting on makeup and brushing off ashes from their dresses.
Harry spotted Fred, George, Charlie and Ron standing in a corner.
"What's up?" he asked.
"Well, we are talking about our escorts." George replied and raised his eyebrows suggestively. Ron and Harry turned red.
"Now Harry, I have heard that you have gotten back together with my sister." Charlie said. Harry gulped and nodded.
"Congrats." Charlie smiled. "But if you ever hurt her again, you'll answer to me." Harry gulped and nodded.
"Well, now that that's settled, we've got a wedding to attend."
"Twenty minutes people!" Came a booming voice somewhere elsewhere in the tent.
Harry had just finished Brushing off the remaining soot on his robes and was waiting patiently for Ginny. Bill and the best man, someone Harry assumed was from his work, had already left the tent and entered the chapel.
"'Arry! Itz is so good to see you." Harry turned and saw fleur behind him. She kissed him on both cheeks.
"I am happy you are attending. Theze past few weeks 'ave been 'ard on Bill, with his contamination from ze attack and all."
"I'm glad he recovered enough in time for the wedding." Harry said.
"Me too. 'E was very sad about Dumbledore's very unfortunate death. Beaxubon's mourn hiz passing. 'E was a good man."
"Yes." Harry replied. For the first time, he noticed that Fleur was wearing a flowing dress of silver that perfected her face.
"It eez almost time. I must find father. Au revior, 'Arry!" She disappeared into the crowds.
Several Veela passed him and he wondered if Gabrielle was here as well. His question was answered when she walked passed him holding a flower basket with tiny fairies clinging to the flowers.
"Harry! Over here." Ginny found her way to him.
"I must say that maybe Phlegm isn't so bad after all." She said.
"Can I Quote you on that?" He joked.
"I mean, if she's good enough for Bill then she's good enough for me."
"Well then let's get in place." They waited until they heard the most angelic of voices.
"They must have Veela singing." Ginny stated.
Gabrielle went in first, Fairies flying freely from her basket. Then came several bridesmaids with Weasley's holding their arms. They broke off at the dais and the women went to stand on one side and the grooms went to Bill's side.
Then came Harry and Ginny, Ron and Hermione behind them. They also broke off and went into their respectful lines.
Then the singing Veela reached a crescendo and Fleur walked into the chapel with her father. He was a tall man with brown hair that was graying and his hazel eyes gleamed with joy.
Fleur was prettier then he had seen her in the tent. The bodice of her dress was lined with crystals and her hair was curled and let it loose around her shoulders.
She approached bill and took his hand.
"We are gathered here today to join the lives of Bill Arthur Weasley and Fleur Anna Delacour in holy matrimony." The minister began. "Since the beginning of time, from Merlin himself to the four founders of Hogwarts, love has been the strongest magic of all."
He took the two rings from the best man and set them in his hand. He then waved his wand and muttered something. The rings glowed and floated in the air. They blended together and formed a single ring, silver and pulsating.
"Like this ring these two peoples will be joined forever more." The ring turned back into two rings and the minister gave them to the best man. He then gave them to Bill and Fleur.
"I Bill Arthur Weasley do take Fleur Delacour as my wife. I give you this ring as a reminder of our love." Bill put the ring on Fleur's finger.
"I Fleur Anna Delacour do take Bill Weazley as my husband. I give you theze ring az a reminder of our love." She slipped the ring on his finger.
"Do you Bill Weasley take Fleur Delacour as your wife, through sickness and in health, till death do you part?"
"I do."
"And do you Fleur Delacour take Bill Weasley as your husband, through sickness an in health, till death do you part?"
"I do."
"Then let it be known that this couple is married, you may kiss the bride."
Applause and cheers erupted as they kissed. Harry felt that nothing could ruin this day.
Soon everyone went back to the burrow for the reception. The band started playing and the women and their escorts flew onto the dance floor that was set up in the yard.
"Congratulations Bill, Fleur." Harry said.
"Thank you Arry, iz Ginny your girlfriend zat Bill haz been talking about?" Fleur asked. Harry and Ginny flushed.
"Um, yes she is."
"Then congratulations to you too." She was swept away from him when Bill pulled her into a tango, reminding Harry of his birthday.
Eventually he was also pulled onto the dance floor. Ginny began a fast dance that he followed.
Soon the dancing was recessed and they sat down to eat dinner. The best man, his name Harry had just found out; Jake, stood up.
"Your attention please." He announced. "Bill has been my friend since he began as a curse breaker. I'll make this short." He lifted his glass. "To the Bride and Groom. May you always have happiness."
"To the bride and groom." Echoed the guests. They drank to them and they started to eat.
"So as I was saying, my escort was Fleur's cousin and she's hot, better yet she's single." George said.
"But isn't Angelina your girlfriend?" Ron asked.
"No, she's Fred's girlfriend."
"Oh."
The food was excellent and soon the dancing started up again. Ginny gave Harry a mischievous smirk and a wink. Harry gulped. He knew that look.
She pulled him onto the dance floor and they danced through the crowd. She pulled him into the house and outside her room.
"Gin.." she put a finger to his mouth, smiled mischievously again and pulled him inside, closing the door behind him.
So sorry that I didn't get this in sooner, I've taken a vacation in northern Minnesota and there is no internet access up there. Well, I'm back and better then before. I will tell it in detail, detail, detail and the chapters will be longer or maybe just as long as before, depending on what I want to cover in that chapter. Hermione/Ron shippers have no fear, these two will and I repeat will get together.
Well gotta go! Please read and review.
