Chapter Four

Wedding Bells

only two days were left until the wedding, everyone had been sent invitations and the hall had finally been decorated, the dresses had finally been delivered and it seemed as though everything was ready but as Mrs. Weasley pointed out, they were missing the main thing, the ring. So it was with a heavy heart that she decided to go with Fleur to select the ring. They were gone for about two hours and when they returned it looked as if Mrs. Weasley was in doubt of her acceptance of Fleur. when they had returned Mrs. Weasley told them that they had brought the rings from Fred and George's shop, she said that the twins had mad the rings without any joke and when Harry looked at the rings he saw why she had accepted the rings. They were magnificent; they were probably the most beautiful rings he had ever seen. Meanwhile Fleur was in full flow about the wedding and prancing excitedly around the house. Even though they had gotten used to her, Harry and Ron sometimes still had to divert course when she was coming the same way.

Finally the tiring days of arrangements came to an end as the wedding day arrived. Mrs. Weasley could occasionally be seen running here and there, Mr. Weasley had taken the day off from work. Bill was lazily sitting in the kitchen saying that everyone was wasting their time and that he would've been quite happy with a simple wedding. Fleur was getting ready in her room since six o'clock in the morning. Gabrielle and Fleur's mother arrived a few hours before the wedding. Gabrielle was quite happy to see Harry again. Flour's mother was a graceful woman, much like Madam Maxime but shorter.

'How do I look?' Ron asked Harry when they had finally changed a few minutes before the ceremony. Harry looked at him, he was looking quite decent, and Fleur had done him a favor by not giving him frilly robes like the ones which he had worn at the Yule ball.

'Like a gentleman' said Hermione from behind them as she entered the room

She was wearing bottle green robes and had once again used Sleekeazy's hair potion on her hair. She looked quite nice.

'Come on' she said impatiently 'we have to receive the guests'

They all hurried to the hall which in addition to the decorations had been provided with live fairies. Harry was curious as he had never seen a wizard's wedding before. Their job was to just stand there and welcome everyone. In a few moments Harry was seeing Wizards and Witches of all shapes and sizes, one of them was really holding three chickens on his head.

'Uncle Sam' Ron whispered in Harry's ear 'he's always been a weirdo'

As Ron said this, another Witch passed them; she was tall and very slim with a pencil like nose and small eyes which glared at Ron so ferociously like he had done some hideous act. Harry and Hermione looked at Ron with a questioning look and saw that he was looking ready to sink into the ground.

'Who was that?' Harry asked astonished

'Oh' he said slightly red in the face 'she's aunt Grattis'

'And?' said Hermione 'what's she got against you'

'Well when I was seven she annoyed me so much that I filled her hat with bugs' said Ron and Harry and Hermione laughed.

'Harry' said a voice from behind; Harry turned and found Remus and Tonks in their best clothes 'how are you?'

'Fine' Harry said shaking hands with Remus

'So' said Remus 'I heard you made a trip to Diagon Alley, find anything suspicious?'

'No' said Harry 'not really'

'Ok' he said heading inside 'see you later'

'How did he know about that?' Harry asked

'Probably dad told him' Ron said putting on a big, fake smile as five more Weasleys entered the hall.

Hermione nudged Harry and pointed to a group of people making their way to the hall, they were not Weasley's Harry could tell, but looked more like somewhere from Flour's family. They're were two men in identical, black robes with hats, the women were, however, had dressed so frivolously for the occasion that the glittering dresses and opals seemed to be noticeable even from a great distance. they were all walking imperiously and looking at the Weasley's house with sort of unsatisfied expressions, as they drew near, Harry could see that the men were walking behind the women, they all passed Harry, Ron and Hermione without the slightest sign of notice but the Wizard who came last stopped directly in front of Harry and Harry noticed for the first time the Girl beside him, it was Gabrielle, Flour's sister. She waved at Harry who smiled, the wizard held out his hand and Harry shook it.

'Harry Potter' he said and Harry noticed that his accent was not the typical French but more clear 'a pleasure to meet you'

'Yeah' said Harry shaking his hand 'same here'

'I am Flour's father' he said, though Harry had already guessed that much 'she told me much about you, although of course I had already known you, with all the news and sorts'

He was talking casually and in a friendly manner as though he knew Harry long.

'And Ronald Weasley' he said shaking hands with Ron 'I wish I could have spent more time with your family but I could not get a day off work'

With that he smiled at Hermione and departed into the Hall.

'Nice bloke' said Ron

'Yeah' Harry said 'so can we go in now?'

'I dunno' said Ron uncertainly 'is everyone here?'

'I think so' said Hermione 'let's go'

They all hurried into the hall, it was the same it had been the morning with the exceptions of the priest and all the guests. Harry, Ron and Hermione hurried to three seats in the fourth row, Harry sat beside a Wizard who looked very aged and was falling asleep. It took a while for all the guests to settle down. Harry raised his eyes to the platform; the priest was reading the bible placed on a stand, a magnificent piano stood at one side which was obviously bewitched to play by itself.

After a while everyone quieted down, the great door of the hall opened and Bill strode in with his head held high and a smile on his face, he was dressed in long black robes and had decided to get rid of his earring, though the hair persisted. He reached the platform and smiled at the priest who nodded slightly. They had to wait for a minute or so then the door of the great hall was opened again and Fleur stepped in, she was looking more stunning than Harry had ever seen her in a long white, sparkling dress followed by two bridesmaids, Ginny was looking beautiful in golden robes decorated with silver lining. As she passed Harry, he winked at her and she smiled back. Harry was surprised that the smile was authentic; she seemed to be enjoying herself. As Fleur passed, Harry caught a blast of the excitement she was giving off and he had to shake his head slightly to clear it off, Ron was rubbing his eyes.

They slowly proceeded to the platform and as Fleur got beside bill, Ginny and Gabrielle left her and made their way into the crowd, Ginny seated herself beside Hermione.

'Enjoying You?' Harry asked

'Yeah' she said

The priest then began to speak in a loud, wheezy voice...

'We are gathered here to witness the magical bond….'

His voice was dying down, Harry thought he had gone deaf but then he heard a hissing voice 'now isss the time'

He heard this voice again and again. Maybe it's just in my head; he thought but somehow the voice seemed familiar.

'Ron can you hear that voice?' Harry asked

'What voice?' he said 'I don't hear anything'

'What about you Hermione? Can you hear...'

Harry stopped in mid-sentence, he was suddenly fearful. He had heard voices like that before, it was the language rare wizards could understand. The language of snakes: Parseltongue.

He looked around the hall, was it possible that any one of the guests was a parselmouth? Harry doubted that it could be any of the Weasley's, so it maybe someone from Flour's family. Harry looked at their small group; they seemed to be unaware of the fact that someone had just spoken snake language. Harry' eyes swooped the hall quickly because Parseltongue was no good news. And then his eyes found the stage, the priest droning on, Bill and Fleur beaming. And then the priest's voice rang through Harry's ears

'Please put the ring on Madame's finger' Bill had took the ring in full view, Harry was too late. The ring was glowing green.
