Chapter 2.

Even more Phlegm

Harry awoke to the usual bright orange ceiling of Ron's room. It was still dark out, but he could hear lots of voices drifting up to him throughout the house. He glanced at his watch and saw it was only quarter after five. He saw the dark shape of Ron sit up in the bed next to his.

"Who's up this early?" Ron said out loud. Ron got up and switched on the light. Harry stepped out of the bed and stretched. He and Ron began to go down the stairs. Once they had reached Ginny's door it was clear that the voices were coming from inside. The door opened a small crack and a small pretty blonde haired girl poked her head out. She smiled brightly as she looked at Harry.

"C'est 'Arry Potter!" She said excitedly and opened the door all the way. Harry and Ron stepped in to the crowded room. Harry looked at Gabrielle and grinned. She beamed up at him, and then walked further into the room. There were no beds inside, instead, a bunch of desks with mirrors were crammed in the room, along a few odd chairs. Ginny and Hermione were sitting in two of the chairs talking to each other, and at one of the desks, sat Fleur surrounded by three beautiful blonde women. They were older, but still very beautiful. All Three were adding a clear, glossy paste to Fleurs' hair and tying it up in a high pony tail at the back of her head.

"'Arry!" Fleur said smiling at him through the mirror. The other three women had finished with Fleur's hair and she stood up and came over to Harry. She kissed on both cheeks and turned to the other women.

"This is my mother Simon," she said. The tallest of the three smiled at Harry. "And these are my Aunts Adele, and Amelie." She said.

"Geenee!" said Fleur's mother pointing at the seat in front of her. Ginny went over and sat down. The three women put her hair in a pony tail and Fleur's aunts began adding paste to her hair. Simon went over to Hermione and began to fiddle with her hair.

"Tut-tut!" she said disapprovingly. "We will have to make more potion just for your hair, No?" Hermione scowled.

There was a soft knock on the door, and Mrs. Weasly came in holding a large tray filled with food aloft with her wand.

"I cannot eat," Fleur said. "I am far too excited."

"Moi aussi!" the three sisters said in unison.

Mrs. Weasley turned to Harry and Ron. "They could use your help setting everything up in the back yard. The flowers and chairs have arrived. And Simon has provided a sketch of how she wants it to look." Simon smiled at Mrs. Weasley who returned it, looking somewhat forced.

Harry waved to the others and followed Mrs. Weasley down the stairs.

"Why is everyone up so early?" Ron asked.

"This hair potion has to set for five hours," Mrs. Weasly said pointing to her hair, where Harry could see the glistening potion. "The flower decoration will take all morning, and then all the extra hours they will spend doing hair and make-up for the girls." Mrs. Weasley look flustered, but her face was shining with excitement. "And Fleur has asked me to take care of the cooking. She said she enjoyed my cooking very much. But still…having one Fleur was bad enough and now we have four…" She sighed and went into the kitchen. Ron led the way out back.

Out in the yard, Mr. Weasley, Fred George, Charlie and Bill were all opening up box, after box. Setting everything up took all morning like Mrs. Weasley said. There were boxes and boxes of fresh white roses, and white cushioned chairs to be set up. And an enormous tent over about 50 tables, each seating about 7 people. Around 1 o'clock everything was taken care of.

"We should probably go get ready," Bill said glancing at his watch. "His usually handsome face, no completely scarred, stretched funny as he smiled. They all trouped inside, Harry and Ron bringing up the rear. Outside the kitchen door, Bill had stopped and poked his head in.

"Mum?" He said. Harry heard a slightly muffled sound from Mrs. Weasley and then Bill spoke again. "Don't over-cook the meat OK? At least the one for me…" He closed the door and started upstairs. He grinned again as he walked past Ginny's door, where the sounds of giggles and voices from inside met their ears. Harry and Ron went up to Ron's room and the two of them changed into their new dress robes. Harry's were a dark red, and Ron's were faded navy blue.

At 2:30, Harry and Ron went back out into the garden where people Harry knew were beginning to arrive. Hagrid spotted Harry Ron as soon as he arrived and swept them into the bone crushing hug. Lupin and Tonks arrived together. Lupin was wearing faded green robes, which Harry recognized as borrowed from Mr. Weasly. And Tonks was in sky blue silk robes. Her hair was still bubble-gum pink. Mrs. Weasley came out of the house, dressed in blue robes and came over and said hello.

"Tonks?" Mrs. Weasly said tentively. "Are you going to keep your hair that color?"

Tonks looked surprised.

"I forgot," she said smiling. She took out her wand and conjured a small hand held mirror. She scrunched up her face, and her hair turned a shiny red color, and grew half-way down her back in ringlets. "Thought I'd try and match the family," she said smiling. She looked liked she could have been Ginny's older sister.

Finally at 3:00, everyone was seated. Hermione was sitting next to Ron, in pale yellow robes, her hair was in ringlets like tonks', only brown. Gabrielle and Ginny came down between the chairs with Fred and George, both in long gold dresses. Fleur came last in a beautiful white dress, her hair fanning out behind her.

After the ceremony, everyone took seats under the enormous tent. After a toast, Mrs. Weasley stood up and waved her wand, and food appeared on everyone's plates. Their cups of butterbeer kept refilling themselves whenever they got too empty. Harry felt perfectly cheerful talking and laughing with Ron, Hermione, Charlie, Tonks and Lupin. After dinner, Fred and George set off some of their amazing fireworks, and Simon, with a wave of her wand, conjured what looked to Harry to be an enormous DJ booth, Except it needed no DJ, and it played songs Harry was sure came from the wizarding world.

Harry knew it was too good to last. At around Midnight, people started leaving. Finally, around one A.M., it was only the Weasley's, Harry and Hermione. Bill and Fleur had a room in the Leaky Cauldron together, and the rest of Fleur's family had left through the Weasleys fireplace.

That night, Harry climbed into bed and lay back against the pillows. Despite everything he knew was going to be happening the next few months, and even tomorrow, Harry had had a great day.
