Chapter 4

(Potter Manor)

Harry awoke feeling refreshed and ready for the day ahead. He quickly jumped into the shower and washed himself all the while thinking of what was going to happen. As he dried himself he wondered if things would go as sour as he and Hermione had speculated last night. He decided to pop over to warn Fleur, so that she would be on guard. He ate the breakfast Kreacher had made, before asking him to tell Hermione, who had slept over last night, where he had gone if she woke before he got back. The elf bowed and assured him he would do it. Gathering his magic he vanished from the manor without making a sound at all.

A few seconds later Hermione walked into the dining room and sat down to eat her own breakfast. She smirked as Kreacher told her where Harry had vanished too. Shaking her head she wondered just why he had gone to see her when in five hours he would see her anyway. As she finished her meal she just prayed Fleur was not leading him astray. If she was, she swore she would make the French quarter Veela pay. Leaning back in her chair she hoped things went as planned for today.

(Delacour Manor, France)

Fleur awoke to find herself quickly overtaken by a bad case of nerves. Today was the day that she was supposed to be married. That was what everyone expected of her, except Gabrielle who of course knew the truth of what she prayed would happen. Harry would come to finally reclaim her. The nightmare she had been living since he had broken up with her to protect her would finally end. Heading for the shower she was surprised when Harry appeared with a grin in front of her. She raised her eyebrow at him as she had almost removed her nightdress to get into the shower.

"Keep your wand close to you today Mon ange," he told her. "It could get messy. Knowing the Weasleys as I do they will let their anger get the best of them," he advised her, his concern for her wellbeing was showing as he looked at her.

"I already assumed as much Mon Cher," Fleur assured him. "I almost can't wait for things to start and in a few hours we will be together again," she continued as she locked his gaze on his and then giving into the impulse building in her she pulled him towards her and kissed him as hard as she could.

She was thankful he was again real and not an astral projection, that would have annoyed her quite a bit at this moment. She had to touch him or she would explode. The kiss deepened as his hand automatically went to her backside and pulled her closer. She let out a contented moan as she brushed up against him, she could feel his reaction to her and it trilled her. She pushed him against the wall of her bathroom and moved away from his mouth and worked her way down his neck. Harry groaned having had no idea she would do this and having to work hard to try and regain control. He managed to switch them around so she was against the wall. She somehow managed to lock her legs around him as he tried to pull away.

"Not yet Harry, please I need this contact to help me through today," Fleur begged him, as she fought to keep her grip on him. "Please," she repeated her plea.

Harry let out a sigh as he relaxed against her, guessing it would not do any harm to grant her request, at least as long as he kept control and did not allow them to get carried away. As much as he wanted to make love to Fleur, as much as he wanted to touch and feel every inch of her body he knew it was best that they wait until they were once more a couple or better yet married.

Fleur smiled as she felt him relax and knew she had won, she was half tempted to try and seduce him right there, but decided against it as she knew there was not enough time. Her mother would soon be up to help her to prepare for the day ahead. She rested her forehead against his and just basked in being back in his arms.

"I can feel you Mon Cher," she whispered. "I can feel you pressed up against me, it feels so inviting," she continued with a smile, gracing her features as she felt him begin to tremble. "And I feel so tempted," she added.

"We can't Fleur," Harry shot back. "Not yet, we'd regret it if we gave into our desires now," he told her as he moved back a little so that he could look her into the eyes. "In a few hours we'll be together as we always should have been, then we finally give in to the temptation," he stated with his own smile. "Then we can finally make love to one another," he added and just hearing him say that made her feel warm inside.

"I can hardly wait Mon amour," Fleur shot back, her smile was now wider as she imagined the scene and feeling a wave of pleasure wash over her as Harry pushed up against her. Her nipples were now hard and kept brushing up against the silk of her nightdress. This of course heightened her feelings in this charged atmosphere.

They began to kiss one another again only this time Harry was the one who attacked the neck. He worked his way down towards the neckline of her nightgown, making Fleur moan in pleasure. One of his hands ran up her bare leg and Fleur held onto him tightly wishing he wouldn't stop, but knew he would have to. Even now they could hear the sounds of her parents and sister waking up. Harry pulled away from her after kissing her one last time.

"Merlin I love you Fleur," Harry whispered to her as his gaze ran up her body until it met her eyes.

"And I love you Harry," Fleur replied, while doing her best to try and calm herself back down. "Now go before they find you here. I will see you in five hours," she promised.

"Remember my warning and don't forget to tell Gabrielle as well," Harry reminded her, his gaze going from passionate to being concerned in an instant. "I know how much you care about your sister, so make sure she is on guard as well just in case things do go south," he advised as they heard her door begin to open.

Thankfully it was only Gabrielle. She smirked when she took note of Harry's presence as well as overhearing the last bit of his warning. Harry smiled back before he vanished and again he made no sound.

"I see Harry couldn't contain himself," Gabrielle said with a teasing smile. "Or was it you une sœur who could not control herself?" she asked with a smile.

"Gabrielle...," Fleur shot back, although with no real heat in her tone. "He just came to warn us to be careful today. He thinks things could degenerate into a fight," she informed her.

"I heard the last part of his warning and I appreciate that he included me in that warning," Gabrielle replied as she took a seat on the bed and watched as her sister came out of the bathroom still looking somewhat heated. "But that is not all he came for," she shot back deciding to tease her sister some more.

Fleur let out a small sigh before a smile fought its way onto her face "Ok we made out for a while," she admitted, guessing her sister would not leave until she told her the truth. "I just needed to feel proof of how he felt before today begins. I needed something to help me stay strong Gabrielle," she admitted as she sat next to her sister. "Until this is over I'm going to be on a knives edge," she told her, while pulling her into a brief hug which her sister eagerly returned.

"I understand how you feel Fleur," Gabrielle responded after a small silence. "But don't worry. Harry will not let you down again. He will be there as he promised and when it is over you will be together," she reassured her with a confident smile.

Before Fleur could answer the door to her room opened again and this time their mother swept in, demanding that they both take a long shower before the day began. Fleur and Gabrielle exchanged a small smile before they split up and headed for their own bathrooms. She removed her nightdress and stepped under the hot water. As she soaped her body she couldn't help but shiver as her fingers brushed over her still erect nipples. She wished that it were Harry's hands on her instead of her own. This lasted for a few seconds before she regained control of herself. Soon she promised herself, before she focused on the task at hand.

(The Burrow)

Bill was slightly nervous as he finished getting ready for the big day. His father assured him it was normal to feel as such. His brothers were all ready and waiting with their various dates bar Ron who was now single after Lisa Turpin had dumped him for cheating on her. His youngest brother was angry and bitter, but he was at least trying to be positive for him. He just wished Fred could have lived to see this day and he cursed Potter for not dealing with Voldemort sooner before he shook that thought from his mind and focused on finally getting to marry and then bedding Fleur Delacour.

"You look wonderful Bill," Molly said as she looked her eldest son over as Ginny finally made her appearance. "Ginny, good we are all ready now. We can leave for the church," she decided.

"I still don't see why we couldn't hold the wedding here," Ron grumbled. "It would have been simpler," he added with a frown marring his face.

"I know Ron and I completely agree," Molly responded with her own frown. "But as I said, the Delacours insisted they marry at the church as the rest of her family has done," she reminded them. "Complete rubbish, I think they just wanted to make things difficult or maybe take a pot shot at us to remind us that they are rich and we are not," she argued. "They probably think the Burrow is a rundown hovel, not fit for their daughter to marry in," she spat.

"Now now Molly," Arthur cut in before his wife could build up some steam. "I doubt they had any such thoughts, most families have long held traditions they pass on," he told them all. "This is just one they held special and we will abide by it," he stated with a mild glare. "Now I suggest we all prepare to leave as the wedding will begin in an hour," he suggested. "And remember I want you all on your best behavior, especially you Ron and Ginny," he added as he turned to look at his two youngest children.

"Fine," Ron responded as he shoved his hands into his pocket and glared at the wall.

"Yes Dad," Ginny growled as she still didn't like Fleur and she doubted she ever would. She couldn't say she liked Gabrielle either, but for the sake of her brother she would try and play nice.

Arthur let out a sigh as he walked back into the living-room, hoping things would go smoothly. He knew some of his family had problems with the Delacours, but within an hour his eldest child would be married to their eldest daughter thus uniting the two families. They would have to learn to put such problems behind them if Bill's marriage was to run smoothly.

(The Church)

Harry stood on the top balcony of the church and watched as people entered and sat down. Some of them looked very out of place and he guessed they were either members of the Weasley family or friends of the family. Hermione stood next to him, both obscured by the shadows cast by the pillars connecting the balcony to the roof. They had cast a few spells so they wouldn't be overheard until it was time, as well as to make the shadows a bit heavier.

"There are a lot of people here," Hermione took note. "Including some Aurors as Shacklebolt himself, I wonder how they convinced the Minister to come," she wondered.

"Kingsley is here to show the presence of the Ministry. He wants people to see they truly do care about the people," Harry replied with a smile. "He isn't any particular friend to most of the Weasley's except Arthur," he informed her. "But as the Delacours are very powerful in France he decided to come and hopefully make some political friends," he added.

"Trust a politician," Hermione muttered with a shake of her head. "I'd think having been an Auror for so long he would not act like them for a long while," she mused as she watched the Delacour's extended family begin to enter and she wasn't blind to the looks exchanged between some of them and most of the Weasley clan.

"Ah Kingsley is learning fast Mione," Harry told her. "If he hopes to survive he has too," he pointed out. "The Ministry is still in a bad place after the war and he has a long way to go to restore its image and the people's trust in it," he continued. "But he hasn't forgotten how to fight either. I think he is also here to make sure things go off with no problems," he stated as a large grin spread across his face.

"You didn't tell him what you planned, did you?" Hermione inquired turning to look at him and took note of his wide grin.

"Where would be the fun in that, Mione?" Harry countered, making her grin as well. "There seems to be quite a bit of bad blood between the families," he pointed out.

"Yeah I noticed that myself. This could explode when you tell them what Bill has been up to," Hermione told him. "I wonder though why there is so much bad blood between them?" she asked aloud. "I mean I know Ginny never liked Fleur, but I didn't know it extended to other members of their family," she went on.

"The Weasley's like to present of having a modern free thinking view, but they can be just as closed minded as the Malfoy's were," Harry explained. "I think some of them are prejudice against Veela. Ginny was always childish in her dislike of Fleur, which was more than likely due to jealously of her looks and her ability to pull men to her easily," he continued as he watched Bill Weasley finally make an appearance with Charlie acting as his best man.

Ron, Percy and George quickly took seats in the front row as did Arthur and Molly, while Ginny took the second row looking rather annoyed. In fact so did Ron and if he was not mistaken Ron was solo today. The others all had dates, but the two youngest Weasleys were without. That was interesting and he wondered if he could use this later on. He knew things would begin soon and he could hardly wait to get this show on the road.

"Look there is Fleur's mother, but no Gabrielle or her father so far," Hermione pointed out.

Harry nodded as he looked at the elder Veela and noted that she looked very much like an older version of her daughters. She still looked very lovely and it was clear Molly did not like that fact. "Gabrielle is Fleur's maid of honour, while her father will of course be walking her down the isle," he told her.

"That's almost like a muggle wedding," Hermione shot back. "I wonder if they have ties to the muggle world," she mused thoughtfully to which Harry only shrugged. Then there was a sudden silence before the music for the bride began. "Here she comes," she pointed out.

Harry suddenly felt breathless as he watched Fleur walk down the isle with her father. Gabrielle and two other females walked behind them and while all three looked stunning, Harry's eyes were glued to Fleur in her sparkling white silk dress. She looked like an Angel and it took all his will power not to apparate down, stun Weasley and take Fleur home. He winced as he felt Hermione elbow him a little. He looked at her and noted her amused expression. He grinned back and guessed she had already sensed his thoughts on this matter.

"Patience Harry," Hermione told him. "Stick to the plan and do try and keep your mind out of the gutter," she added with a teasing grin.

Harry shook his head, but accepted the teasing remark as he knew it was a gentle warning to keep his mind on the job at hand. He canceled the anti silence spells as the priest began to speak. Down below Fleur felt slightly light headed as she waited for Harry to show himself. She could barely focus on the words the priest was saying and yet she could almost feel Harry's gaze burning into her back. She was certain he was here somewhere.

Bill kept trying to make eye contact, but she kept her eyes on the priest. She glanced at Gabrielle who smiled in support, giving her a little boost of strength. As the priest began to ask if anyone knew a reason why they should not marry Fleur felt herself tense.

"I object," a voice said from above said and Fleur felt herself relax as she recognized Harry's voice.

Silence descended on the church as people looked around for the speaker. The priest looked slightly off balance, while Bill and the rest of the Weasleys looked either shocked or angry at the interruption. Fleur looked around unable to stop herself. Gabrielle had a lot of trouble keeping a grin off her face as she heard Harry speak, confirming her faith in him that he would be here to save her sister from marrying such an idiot like Bill Weasley, still she wondered where he was.

"Who the hell dares to interrupt my wedding?" Bill growled out as his eyes darted around the church. "Show yourself," he demanded.

The response was a laugh that echoed around the church and that seemed to drive Bill even angrier. Gabrielle looked up at the top balcony but all she saw was shadows.

"Temper, temper Weasley," Harry finally said as he watched Bill easily get worked up and he wondered how in the world this guy did so well in his chosen profession. "As to who I am well you should recognize my voice. If you don't then that is your problem and not mine," he continued, glancing at Hermione who did her best not to laugh as she watched the emotions play over Bill and his families' faces at this turn of events. "And as I said, I object to this wedding," he stated.

"On what grounds Monsieur?" Mr. Delacour demanded to know as he stood up and looked around again. "By what rights do you disturb my daughter's happiest day?" he questioned.

"Mr. Delacour, it is a pleasure to finally meet you," Harry replied in a more respectful tone. "And I am afraid to say this is not your daughter's happiest day. How could it be when the man who wants to marry her is nothing more than a cheating arse?" he pointed out and smirked as Mr. Delacour turned to look at Bill who suddenly looked unsure, but quickly tried to project an image of outrage.

"That's a lie whoever the hell you are," Bill spat, wishing he knew who was talking and also wishing he could wrap his hands around his throat and throttle him.

"Oh really?" Harry shot back. "So you deny you've slept with several women during the time you've been seeing Fleur? The last happening three days ago during your stagnight?" he inquired as an almost sinister smile graced his features as Bill could not help but pale at this.

"That is a lie," Molly Weasley screeched in anger as her face instantly went red. Arthur quickly stopped her from standing up and ranting some more and silenced her with a look.

Fleur also noted this and felt angry even though her entire relationship with Bill was a lie. It was clear that had she actually been in love with Bill it would have been a very one sided love. He clearly had no loyalty to her and she noted her father was beginning to suspect what was been said was true, as Bill couldn't hide his reaction.

"How do you know this?" her father asked as he continued to look around for the source of the voice.

"Oh I've been looking into Bill's shady history and I've found several of those women. Three who ended up pregnant, including his latest conquest," Harry answered. "I also have in my possession a letter from the stripper he had sex with informing him of the pregnancy. It is clear that, like with the two others, he had no intention of living up to his obligations to them," he explained. "He threatened the previous two women into keeping silent. He however was sloppy in his work and I was able to track them down and get their stories," he continued.

"It isn't true," Bill growled out as everything began to fall apart. He took note of the angry looks the Delacours now had on their faces. Fleur looked angry and yet if he was not mistaken resigned, that was odd he thought.

Hermione shook her head at Bill's rather weak attempts at lying. He was clearly off balance and had no idea how to handle this sudden twist. She glanced at Harry as he prepared to show himself. This is where she was worried things may spin out of control.

"Oh... isn't it Weasley?" Harry inquired. "How about I bring them out for you to see? I am sure they would love to see you again," he suggested, making Bill go even paler and this was something Mr. Delacour took note of and showed him what the voice was saying was true and at that he felt a rage ignite inside.

"Show yourself damn you," Bill growled out as he felt things slipping further away as Charlie and Ron began to search for the trouble maker. "Who are you?" he demanded.

"Yes show yourself," Fleur found herself saying as she searched for Harry's whereabouts, feeling her heart begin to hammer in her chest.

"Ask and you shall receive belle," Harry said before he vanished from his spot on the balcony and appeared beside Fleur. Hermione watched as Fleur's face lightened up as she saw him appear beside her and she felt a little better about all this.

"Potter," Bill and most of the Weasley's angrily shouted as they finally realised who had crashed Bill's wedding.

"How dare you show your face here?" Molly screamed as she went for her wand, but Arthur quickly stopped her. Knowing he had to stop this descending into a fight. Especially as the Minister for Magic was here, he looked back and noted Kingsley was rubbing his forehead and he guessed he was wondering how he was going to deal with this.

He and his family may not be friends with Harry any longer, but he knew Potter was highly placed in the Ministry now. He had many friends and he was the head of two powerful family names. If Bill attacked him even for a decent reason it could spell disaster for his family. He glanced at Ron who had also pulled his wand and indicated he should not do anything. His son glared back at him but relented. Ginny seemed torn between anger and pleasure at seeing the man she was obsessed with again.

"I will do what I want Mrs. Weasley and nothing you can say will stop me," Harry replied with a smile. "I'm sure you think I'm here just to be vindictive, but believe me my presence here is motivated by far more than getting back at you backstabbing idiots," he assured them.

"Monsieur Potter," Mr. Delacour said as he took note of who had shown up. "I hope you really do have evidence of my daughter's supposed husband's infidelity?" he inquired. He was not unaware of the way his eldest daughter was watching Harry Potter, something else was going on here.

He had been an Auror for twenty years before he had decided to follow his father into politics. He had been a keen investigator and what he saw gave him the impression Fleur was not at all angry with Harry Potter's disruption of her wedding day. In fact she almost seemed pleased by it. He glanced at his youngest daughter and noted she too didn't appear at all distressed by this turn of events. That made him suspect they knew it was going to happen before hand. 'What was truly going on?' he wondered.

"I do Mr. Delacour," Harry assured him as he noted Kingsley get up and move forward with two of his bodyguards close behind. "First here is the letter the stripper sent to Bill when she realised she was pregnant. My elf liberated it before Bill could destroy it," he told him as he handed over the letter.

Bill made a desperate lunge for the letter, but Mr. Delacour was faster and took the page, glaring at Bill as he did so. Bill turned to glare at Harry who just smiled back at him. Hermione pulled her own wand and prepared to step in should things explode into a fight. She watched as Mr. Delacour read the letter and the angry look that appeared chilled her.

"Explain this Weasley," Mr. Delacour demanded as he glared at the young man who he had thought was an honourable man that would marry his daughter, but now he was beginning to see the truth.

"Please, perhaps we should discuss this in a more private setting?" Kingsley suggested as he finally reached the front of the church where they were standing.

"Oh relax Kingsley," Harry responded with a grin. "This is a perfect setting for this long overdue talk," he added.

"I agree," Fleur cut in as she moved forward. "I think this is as good a place as any to hear this," she continued as Bill turned a surprised look on her.

"Fleur, you can't actually believe this?" Bill asked, having thought she would at least back him up and that she would believe him.

She glared at him in return. "I trust Harry to speak the truth and only the truth. He wouldn't lie to me," Fleur responded. "While you and your family may have cut all ties to him, I'm still his friend and I trust him," she stated.

Bill didn't like this response and he couldn't stop himself from glaring first at Harry and then at Fleur herself. Kingsley tried to repress a sigh as the young woman backed Harry up. He glanced at Mr. Delacour and noted he nodded at his daughter's statement. He glanced back at the watching crowd and let out another sigh.

"I said explain it Weasley," Mr. Delacour repeated himself.

"Do not talk to my son like that," Molly growled as she tried to push her way forward, but Arthur kept her back. "He would never cheat on Fleur, this is all lies," she spat. "Lies spread for that no good useless fool in front of you," she raged. "Wasn't allowing Fred to die enough for you?" she demanded as she finally turned her glare on Harry who's eyes dimmed. "Wasn't sitting back and doing nothing while good men and women died enough?" she continued. "Now you have to come here and disturb my eldest son's wedding," she screeched.

Hermione shook her head wondering just how much of a fool Molly Weasley was. Could she not see the danger of provoking Harry as she was doing just now? His eyes had darkened and his magic was beginning to swirl around him. She could feel it all the way from here. She would have to intervene and now before Molly ended up nothing more than a greasy stain on the wall of the church. She apperated to his side and took his hand in hers and began to try and calm him down.

Ron's eyes widened as he saw her appear and he instantly tried to rush forward, but George grabbed him before he could. He too had felt the buildup of magic from Harry and allowing Ron anywhere near Harry or worse Hermione was not a good idea. If he did anything to harm Hermione while Harry was pissed then there would be nothing left of Ron and so he pulled his brother back. Ginny glared at Hermione as well, but for vastly different reasons. She was one of reasons why she believed she had failed to win Harry's affections.

Hermione let out a relieved sigh as she felt Harry's regain control. Had he not done so this could have become real messy. She also took note that Fleur had taken hold of his other hand without anyway noticing. This was another point in her favour as far as she was concerned. "You know Mrs. Weasley I'm surprised you are so stupid as to anger the man who destroyed Voldemort and most of his followers," she stated as she glared at Molly who glared back at her. "He didn't let Fred die, nor did he allow anyone else to die. He fought since the moment he came back into this world for you and the people," she spat. "He bled, he almost died multiple times while fighting Voldemort and his followers while you cowards could barely hear the name of the Dark Lord," she continued. "Year after year you raised him one moment and threw him down the next and then when it was all over you had the gaul to stab him in the back," here she paused as she took a deep breath. "He saved the life of your daughter nearly at the cost of his own. He saved the life of your husband and after all that during that final battle Fred was killed at a time when Harry was facing off against the Dark Lord himself," she stated.

"Shut up," Molly screamed wanting to do nothing more than attack Hermione, but her husband's grip on her tightened and she knew she was going nowhere.

"No I will not," Hermione shot back as Kingsley tried and failed to get in the middle of them. "You and those like you should be on your knees thanking Harry for sacrificing so much for you. It wasn't his fault the war took so long," she told them all, making sure he voice would reach everyone. "It was Dumbledore's choice to leave Harry unready to face the horrors that would come. He chose to let him have as much of a normal childhood as he could and it was that choice that doomed so many," she stated as she looked at many of the people who were watching.

Harry listened as Hermione defended him and noted some seemed surprised by what she was saying. Of course the Weasleys were still glaring at them which was no surprise. He still felt Fleur and Hermione holding his hands and that allowed him to calm himself down. Molly Weasley would never know how close she came to be obliterated.

"Dumbledore was a great man, but he cared about Harry so much he faltered in preparing him for Voldemort's return," Hermione explained. "Some would say he was weak, some would say it was a mistake that cost lives and yet I believe it helped to make Harry into what he is," she continued. "It helped make him someone willing to sacrifice his life for everyone else, but that is why the war went on so long and if you dare say it was Harry's fault again, I will make you regret it," she warned with a growl at the end. "You have no right to say anything bad about my brother. He has done nothing but bleed for your damn family," she added. "Nothing could have saved Fred. It was a war and in war people die," she reminded them. "Harry lost his entire family to this war, but you do not hear him blame others for that fact do you?" she paused again as she glared daggers at Molly and then Ron and Ginny. "You had to have someone to blame and you choose to blame Harry like so many others, but like them you had no right to do so," she spat.

"Ok enough," Kingsley shouted before this could go any further, even if he privately agreed with Hermione about everything she had said. "That isn't why we are all here today," he pointed out.

"You are right Kingsley, but I had to say that," Hermione replied with a nod of her head. "We have had enough of people saying such things. It ends now," she stated.

"How dare...," Molly began, but Arthur cut her off.

"Enough Molly," Arthur growled with a glare that cowed even his head strong wife. "As much as it pains me, Hermione is right," he stated. "Harry couldn't have saved Fred. He was nowhere near where he died at the time," he continued, ignoring the startled looks his sons and daughter shot him at this. "But having said that I don't believe he or Hermione had any right coming here today," he stated as he turned to glare at Harry. "My son is not a cheater Harry. I resent your accusations," he added.

"Which is no surprise Arthur, but I do have every right to be here," Harry countered. "And it has little to do with you or your family," he admitted.

"Then what is it that brings you here?" Arthur inquired. "Why did you feel the need to interrupt this wedding?" he pressed as he moved forward a little after handing Molly over to Percy.

"A lot of secrets came out during the war against Voldemort," Harry answered as he let go of Hermione and Fleur's hands and moved forward himself, but made sure he could still see Bill out of the corner of his eyes, just in case he reacted badly to what he was about to admit. "But there was one that never came out, that no one bar two people ever knew although now there are four who know that truth," he continued.

Kingsley threw up his hands and went and sat back down knowing he wouldn't be able to stop this from progressing.

Fleur felt a shiver run up and down her spine as things began to head towards the real truth. Things had gotten a little side tracked when Hermione had shown up. She was not surprised Hermione was here as well, watching her brother's back, but her long speech had diverted as to why Harry was here even if it was necessary.

"And what was that secret that make you think you have the right to come here and interrupt my brother's wedding?" Ron spat out, wishing nothing more than to be able to make Harry pay for the setbacks he and his family had suffered.

"Do you really want to know Ron?" Harry inquired as he stared into the eyes of his former friend, someone he had once trusted above most others except Hermione. "Are you sure you can handle the truth or will your jealousy get in the way again?" he inquired with a tight grin.

"Tell us," Ron demanded in response as Bill pulled his wand out of his pocket as his anger began to boil ever closer to the edge.

"Back during forth year I fell in love, but not to who everyone else believed I had," Harry finally began. "No, I went to very great lengths to hide the truth of who I really fell in love with, especially once Voldemort had returned to his body and the war began again," he explained as Fleur and Gabrielle pulled their own wands as they began to suspect this would be the moment things exploded into a fight. "It was kind of easy to make people believe I was in love with Cho Chang, even Hermione was fooled and that was no easy task," he added with a grin, which Hermione couldn't help but share as Harry turned to face Bill. "The woman I really fell in love with was a visitor to the school. She was beyond stunning and something about her pulled me towards her like no other," he continued with a soft smile gracing his features. "She was eventually chosen as the champion of her school as I was chosen as one of two champions for my own. We fell in love hard during the tournament," he stated as Bill turned with stunned eyes to Fleur who was smiling at Harry softly.

"This can't be," Bill spat. "It has to be a lie, there is no way Fleur would ever feel anything for you," he added with a growl as Gabrielle finally couldn't help it and let out a giggle. "Shut up," Bill spat before he realised his error as Fleur placed her wand under his throat and Mr. Delacour's quickly joined hers.

"Never tell my sister to shut up," Fleur told him with a piercing glare. "And to answer you, yes it is true. I did indeed fall in love with Harry in his fourth year," she admitted loud enough for everyone to hear and while Gabrielle smiled their parents exchanged stunned looks. Although this piece of information told Mr. Delacour what he was missing. "But once Voldemort regained his body Harry knew it would be too dangerous for us to remain together and so he broke up with me to keep me safe," she explained, feeling only for a moment the pain of that event. "That event scarred me. It left me hurting badly even if I knew he had done it for all the right reasons, but it still hurt," she continued. "My relationship with you was a lie Bill. I used you to keep an eye and an ear on Harry during the war, as your family was close to him and at that time it made sense," she stated, much to his shock and anger.

"What?" Bill growled as his eyes bulged as he heard what Fleur had said.

"Do not dare try and act like she is the only one Weasley," Harry cut in. "You have cheated on her multiple times, you have children with two other women and a third on the way," he continued.
