That summer was going to be a adventurous summer, little did they know that not only will the summer be an adventure but the rest of the year was going to be a big hunt.
Bill Weasley was getting married that year to a girl that only the guys liked, Fleur Delacour. Minnie and Harry had decided that they were staying at the Weasley's so that they could help with the wedding.
"Girls can you come down here I have something for you guys to do!" Molly yelled up at Ginny and Minnie.
"We are coming mother!" Ginny yelled down. "She is going to work us crazy. We are never going to have any personal time with Harry and Charlie. I mean I think that is what she wants and all, but it is really getting on my nerves. It is only Fleur, I can't even stand her." Ginny looked over at Minnie who was starring out the window. "Minnie are you even listening to me." "Yes I am listening to you. I do not like Fleur either but Bill loves her, and he wants to spend the rest of his life with her so be it. I mean what if one of your brothers did not like Harry, you marry him and they do not give him a shot, how would you feel?" Minnie asked her as she turned around to face Ginny.
"Minnie why do you have to be like that? I mean it is not a bad thing but you can always make me see a bigger picture." Ginny sat by her. "Why are you so distant today?" Ginny asked.
"I was only just thinking that Albus would have loved to come to Bill's wedding. He would think that it is a beautiful occasion. I have these moments sometimes, but I am fine." She smiled at Ginny.
"I really can't say that I know how you feel because I have never lost someone as close to me as Albus was to you. Just so you know you have a lot of other people that are her for you and who love you a lot. So Minnie Albus would want you to be happy and carry on with your life, you have to stop wondering what Albus would be like. Just be you and live for you." Ginny smiled and grabbed her hand.
"You are right, it will take time but I am sure I will come around. Thank you Ginny I am glad that I have a friend like you." Minnie leaned in and hugged Ginny.
"Well we should go and help mom with whatever it is she wants us to help her with. If we do not hurry up she will have our heads." They both laughed and went downstairs.
They arrived downstairs and Molly had a bunch of flowers on the on the floor and on the table. "It is about time girls, I have been waiting for you two for some time now." Molly gave them both the look of impatience. "So will you two get down here and help me with these flower arrangements." Molly smiled.
"Mom you can use magic to do these, we can't so why do you need our help?" Ginny sat down and Minnie followed.
"Because you two are sitting up there doing nothing so thought that I would give you something to do. So you guys grab some flowers and make them look like this." Molly smiled and walked off.
"Can you believe her? She is pure evil." Ginny said as she sat down and started the flowers.
"Ginny your mom is lovely, she is not evil. Your mom is just caring and protective, that is what I like that about her. She is just being your mom." Minnie smiled at Ginny.
"Yeah if you say so." Ginny looked away and got back to the flowers.
When they were finished with the flowers it was time to clear the table so that everyone could eat dinner. When everyone came in from the things that Molly had them preparing for the wedding, dinner was already on the table.
"So how was everyone's day?" Mr. Weasley asked them all.
"It was long and so demanding, mom had us doing everything again today. I have no idea how she finds so much for us to do." Ginny answered.
"Now Ginny we all have to help out with this wedding it is a family affair and all the help the better." Mr. Weasley smiled at his daughter.
"I know, it is a family affair and I guess it is all fine." Ginny went back to eating.
"Great now what about the rest of you. How was your day?" Mr. Weasley asked the others.
"Mine was great I loved doing the invitations for everyone. I am glad you guys are letting me be a part of everything." Hermione smiled.
"Ours was boring." Fred and Gorge added.
"Well Harry and I had a very horrid day, because mom had us clean the waters for the wedding. It was really gross in there. We did it anyways." Ron smiled at Harry.
"Yes it was gross but it was fine we, bonded a little more." Harry laughed.
"I think that helping Ginny with the flowers was a lot of fun and I really enjoy helping you guys out." Minnie added in.
"So Molly when is Charlie, Bill, and Fleur coming to the house?" Arthur asked.
"Well Bill and Fleur will be here in the morning and Charlie will be here the day before the wedding." Molly answered. "So we have new sleeping arrangements all three of you girls Ginny, Minnie and Hermione will be in Ginny's room. That is only because Hermione has been staying in Bill's room and he is going to need it back." Molly smiled.
"Yes that is no problem Mrs. Weasley. I do not mind sharing with the two girls." Hermione smiled. "Well I am all finished so I am going to go upstairs and get my things all together. So I will be ready to move into Ginny's room in the morning." Hermione left and went into her room to pack. Ron shortly followed after her.
"I wonder what Ron and Hermione are doing upstairs." Fred laughed.
"They are needing some time alone so that they can work on their relationship." George laughed.
"Boys that is enough I am sure your brother is just helping Hermione with her things." Molly starred down the twins.
"Yes that is so it mother haven't you noticed. Ron and Hermione are dating they have been for over a year now." Ginny smiled. " So I am sure he is wanting more then to help her pack." Ginny got up and left the table.
"So Harry are you going to follow Ginny next." Fred laughed.
"I think I will, I haven't spent any time with her in a long time. So I will now." Harry smiled at the twins and went upstairs.
"Ok Minnie, Fred and George you are going to tell us who is dating who around here." Molly looked over at the three of them.
"Well Mrs. Weasley Ron and Hermione are dating, then there is Harry and Ginny, Fred is with Angelina Johnson, Gorge is single, and for me I am dating your son Charlie. Is that good?" Minnie smiled.
"Yes that is all I wanted to know. How can you be dating Charlie? You have been is school all year and you can hardly see him dear." Molly was curious to how this all started.
"Well Mrs. Weasley Charlie and I have been dating for over a year now. We started dating last summer, but we got real serious last Christmas. We write to each other all the time and we seen each that time Ron drank the poison. We also seen each other at the funeral. We are making it work because we love each other." Minnie smiled and so did Arthur.
"I never thought that our Charlie would ever have any girl. I mean he is so in love with his work, but he has found someone. I am happy that is someone like you Miss Snape." Arthur smiled at her.
"Yes that is great. Why don't you three go and find something to do while I clean up. Unless of course you want to help me." Molly smiled at the three of them.
They all got up and went upstairs as quickly as possible. "Molly what is the problem?" Arthur asked as Molly stopped around the kitchen putting things away.
"Well Arthur I do not think that our Charlie should be with a girl so much younger then him. Also she is a marked child and if he is in love with her he could get himself killed." Molly broke a dish as she threw it in the sink.
"Molly I love you and I would die for you and our family. Why can't Charlie feel the same way about a girl?" Arthur came up behind her and wrapped his arms around Molly.
"I know, but he is my son I do not want to think about losing him. I also do not feel right with Ginny dating Harry for the same reason. They are marked children Arthur. Do not get me wrong I adore those children, but I do not want my children to be marked also." Molly turned around and faced Arthur.
"Molly we cannot control who they date or what they do. All we can do is love them and raise them right. I think that we did a great job at that, so now what they choose to do with their lives is completely up to them. They want to help Harry and Minnie with he-who-must-not-be-named then let them. It is all for love Molly we would do the same thing." Arthur kissed her lips and smiled.
"Yes dear you are right once again. I hate when you do that." She smiled and finished cleaning up the kitchen.
The next day came and all the children were called down to greet Fleur and Bill who were on their way into the Burrow.
"Mom why do we have to greet her?" Ginny was reluctant to come down.
"Ginerva she is going to be family so she is a part of our family now. We are going to show her the respect that she deserves. You understand young lady?" Molly scolded her daughter.
"Fine." Ginny snapped.
They walked in and Fleur was the beauty that everyone remembered from the triwizard tournament. "Hello everyone, it iz a pleazure to meet you all. Even tho I already know mozt of you." She smiled at Harry.
"Well Fleur this is my mother Molly." Bill took her to his mother.
"Pleasure to meet you Fleur and I hope that you enjoy your stay here with us." Molly hugged her.
"This is my father Arthur." Bill said.
"Pleasure." Arthur replied and kissed her hand.
"And these are my siblings, Fred, Gorge, Ron and Ginny. These three over here might as well be my brother and sisters. This is Minnie, Hermione and Harry." Bill smiled at them.
"Yez I have met them all in school when I was part of the triwizard tournament. They are all very lovely people. Arry saved my little zizter Gabby and I am forever thankful for that." She hugged all of Bill's family.
"So Bill and Fleur your room is ready for you upstairs. Bill it is your old room." Molly smiled at the two of them went upstairs. Molly and Arthur went into the kitchen.
"This is going to be an interesting few days. I mean the wedding is in three days and we have to put up with Fleur the whole time." Hermione looked over at Ginny who was still disgusted that Fleur had touched her.
"I agree with you there Hermione." Ginny got up and left the room.
"Would you guys stop that it is not like she is going to steal Harry or Ron because she is marrying Bill." Minnie smiled and went into the kitchen to see if Mrs. Weasley needed help.
The next few days were like the previous Ginny and Hermione were avoiding Fleur any chance they had to. Fred and Gorge were trying to convince Fleur that one of them would be better for her then Bill, she would just laugh at the two of them. Molly had them all working from the time they woke up to the time they went to bed it was like there was no rest at all for them. Charlie was to arrive that morning and the Delacour's were to arrive that night. The Weasley's had a busy day ahead of them.
"Well Ginny I am happy today for Charlie to come I haven't seen him in a very long time." Minnie said as she got dressed.
"Yeah I can't imagine being away from Harry that long. You know a love is going to last when you guys are able to stay faithful to each other miles apart." Ginny smiled at her.
"Yeah I hope that is right." Minnie heard a door close and Charlie yell up. She ran down the stairs and jumped into his arms.
He kissed her and she let him go. "I have really missed you." Charlie said as her grabbed her hand.
"I have missed you too. I am really happy that you are here, but I know that you are only here because of the wedding right?" Minnie smiled at him.
"Yes I am here for the wedding, but you are a great bonus to have here." He hugged her again.
Molly and the rest of the family came down the stairs. "Charlie how was your trip?" Molly hugged him.
"It was great mom. This must be Fleur." Charlie went over to her and gave her a hug.
"Hello Charlie, it iz very nice to meet you." Fleur said to him as Minnie pulled him away from her.
"Charlie I have one thing to ask you. Can you by any chance cut your hair a bit I am not liking the whole girl thing." Minnie laughed.
"Yes I knew someone would say that." Charlie smiled and went over to his mom. "I was waiting for it to be you." He kissed her cheek. "So mom am I in my room, or am I in someone else's." Charlie smiled.
"Yes son you are in your room. Why don't we go up and unpack your things." Molly and Charlie headed upstairs. They rest left also.
"Minnie I seen what you did when Charlie hugged Fleur." Hermione laughed.
"I seen that also. You have a jealous bone in there. Just like Hermione and I." Ginny laughed. "But Minnie remember she is marring Bill so she won't take Charlie away." Ginny and Hermione laughed.
"You guys are so funny. I know Charlie was only being nice, but still." Minnie looked over at Ginny and Hermione smiling at her. "You two are pure evil." Minnie smiled at them.
