The pair apparated to a large yellow mansion with a cursive P on the front gate and was surrounded by perfectly trimmed hedges. The gate opened and they made their way to the front door. Hermione knocked with a gold, lion-shaped door knocker and the door swung open.
"Miss Hermione!" a small elf said excitedly. "Dobby is so happy to see you. And you brought...M-Miss D-Delacour."
"It's good to see you too, Dobby. Wait, you know Fleur?"
"Please follow me," Dobby said avoiding her question. "Everyone is waiting for you in the living area."
"Everyone? Who exactly is everyone?" When Hermione entered the living room, she saw several blobs of red hair and two other blobs of blonde and black. "Oh, everyone."
"Hermione!" said all the Weasleys and Potters in the room.
"Hello, what are you all doing here?" Hermione looked at the five Weasleys.
Harry went over to hug her, "They were...uhm...in the area?"
"Okay...oh, look who I bumped into today. It's Fleur."
Fake smiles filled the room and were directed at the guest.
"Fleur," Harry forced a smile, "it's been awhile."
"Indeed," Fleur grinned.
"Fleur," the twins glared.
"Fred, George, ztill running ze toy zhop?"
"Joke store!"
"Zere iz a differenze?" The twins were silent, "I didn't zink zo."
"Luckily," Charlie said under his breath, "We haven't had the pleasure of meeting. I'm Charlie Weasley."
"Don't worry, you will get to know me. I won't be leaving anytime zoon."
Bill said nothing and shook his head.
"Ah, Bill Weazley. Nize to zee you again. You juzt get 'airier everyday, don't you? You zhould conzider zhaving."
Bill sat up straight and growled, Fleur smiled.
"Delacour," Ron muttered.
"Ronald, you better not 'urt my zizter."
"Don't worry, I don't hurt the ones I love."
"Well, this has been a nice little reunion, but do you mind if I take Hermione for a bit and show her the garden?" asked a genuinely happy Luna.
"Have fun and be careful, love. We'll just talk with Fleur here," Harry kissed Luna, then her and Hermione headed outside.
Once they were outside, Hermione asked, "Now honestly Luna, what is everyone doing here? Harry's not a very good liar."
"He isn't, is he?" Hermione smiled and shook her head. "Well, they called and said they were visiting and they wanted you to be there to, so they asked me to call you." It's not a lie, just modifying the truth a little.
Flashback
"Are you buzy?"
"Hello Gabby. No, I'm not busy, just designing the new layout for the Quibbler. Ever since I found out I was pregnant, I moved my work home-"
"Luna lizzen, my zizter iz back."
"How wonderful! Is there going to be a welcome back par-"
"Zhe wantz to get 'ermione back. Zey juzt left my ztore togezzer."
Luna's dreamy smile vanished, "What do you want me to do?"
"Try to call all ze Weazleyz and get zem to your 'ouze. Zen get 'ermione and Fleur to come over. W'en zey get zere, try to talk to 'ermione alone; everyone elze iz to talk to Fleur. I know zat zhe iz my zizter, but zhe needz to ztay away from 'ermione. Can you do ziz?"
"Do you want me to call Ginny?"
"Yez. We wouldn't want 'ermione to zurprize 'er like ziz."
"Okay. Bye Gabby."
"Goodbye."
Luna hung up the phone just as Harry entered the room.
"Who was that dear?"
"Harry, we need to call all the Weasleys right now."
"Why-?"
"Fleur's back."
"Fred, George...hey-" Luna could hear Harry say.
She quickly dialed a number, "Come on Ginny, pick up the phone!" After calling five times with no answer, she gave up.
"I've called everyone. Molly already talked to her, Arthur and Percy are unavailable, and the rest can come," Harry said when she reached for the phonebook.
"Oh, okay. Good. I can't get a hold of Ginny, so I guess this will do. I just have one more person. Hermione! It's lovely talking to you..."
End Flashback
"...always making random stories. Anyways, he could've just said that."
"Mhmm...so, I have some great news!"
"What is it? Is the Quibbler finally the most read magazine in the Wizarding World?"
"No, not yet."
"Then what is it?"
Luna smiled and started giggling, "I'm pregnant!"
"No! Really?" Hermione squealed.
"Mhmm."
"How long?"
"Two months."
"Oh, wow! Does Harry know?"
"Yes. He was hilarious when I told him."
"How did he react?" Hermione asked as they settled down on a bench in the center gazebo of the huge garden.
"Well..."
"Are you out of your freaking mind?! What the hell are you doing here Delacour?!" yelled a very red Harry Potter.
Fleur rolled her eyes. Here we go again.
"Do you know what you did to Hermione?!"
"Yeah!" Ron added, "She obliviated herself because of you! Now she's sick."
"And just looking..." Fred joined.
"...at you could..." continued George.
"...make her remember and..."
"...kill her!" they finished together.
"I don't know you very well, but I know what you did. So, stay away from my little sister and Hermione!" said Charlie sternly.
"Fleur," Bill said darkly, "why are you back? Do you want to kill Hermione? Is it some sick Veela thing where you kill the person you supposedly love, just because they don't love you back?"
Fleur's eyes darkened, "Everyone juzt ZHUT UP! Do you zink zat I don't know wat I did to 'er? Well, I do. I know zat zhe iz zick, I know zat zhe 'az a brain illnezz, I know zat it iz my fault. I know 'er better zan all of you! If you don't remember, we were togezzer for a very long time. I waz alzo watching 'er w'ile I waz away. 'ow can you zay I want to kill 'er? I could never do zat. W'y do you zink zat I am not telling 'er about me? You are ze onez trying to make 'er remember me. You are ze onez 'oo zhow your 'ate towardz me, w'en zhe believez zat I 'ave done nozing. Zo, you ztop rig't zere and look at you own actionz before you look at mine. Now, lizzen clozely. I love 'ermione wiz all my 'eart. I will do everyzing I can to get 'er back. Zhe meanz everyzing to me. Only I can make 'er truly 'appy and I will. Zo you better ztay away from me, becauze now zat I'm back, nozing will be able to ztop me from loving 'er and getting 'er back." Fleur's nails sharpened slightly and the room seemed a little warmer. Everything was quiet until laughter entered the room.
"That's so funny! This has been great Luna, but I think we need to head home now. Ginny might be worried. Come Fleur, let's go. I'm sure Ginny will be so happy to see you. Bye everyone and congratulations Harry!" Hermione hugged everyone, then grabbed Fleur's arm and disapparated.
