Disclaimer: I own nothing.
Please... Dont kill me for what I did. It was absolutely ON PURPOSE and I know what must be coming next. Not until December though...
"No! Wee can't postpone out wezing! C'est impossible!" – Fleur is fuming with rage, her accent stronger than ever.
"Miss Delacour, we have information, information we are absolutely sure about, that Death Eaters are planning an attack on your wedding. If you postponed it or at made it somewhere else, and told the place only to the guests…," – tries explaining Kingsley.
"But we did tell the place only to the guests and the officials needed. How can we have a wedding without all those people knowing, - Bill shakes his head. – We can't keep it secret, even with not so many guests. And I see no point in postponing it. Just… It means canceling it until better times come. And we are not prepared. And we can't decrease number of guests even more. Not with three days before the wedding".
"And we don't have enough time to prepare protection for you! We don't have enough free forces. We'll do our best! But… Bill, it's very dangerous!" – Kingsley sights.
"And if we make sure that guests know about planned attack and let them decide whether they think it save to come?" – Bill proposes.
"That might place our best informant in danger. I can't risk that!" – replies Kingsley sternly.
"So you'd better lace us in danger but not zat informant?" – shouts Fleur.
"We'd better not endanger anyone Fleur, - Remus cuts in. – But. If you remember, - with the help from this informant's information we managed to prevent one attack and minimize losses from three more. We can't disregard that!".
"Oh! Than do you best to protect as well! – replies Fleur. – I am not postponing anything".
And so it's the night before the wedding. Bill is standing in the garden when I finally find him. I still live in my flat in London. I stilled didn't reconcile with Father. Still now when I look in his direction he looks away and doesn't meet my eyes with that coldness. I consider it as a good sign. I should have been in bed long ago. But I need to talk to Bill first. I didn't get a chance to him before. Neither three days ago nor later.
"Bill?" – I ask hesitantly.
"What? – he turns towards me aggressively. – Oh! Percy? Sorry, I thought it was Mum…"
"And what made you so angry?" – I ask frowning.
"She continues to tell me that we have to postpone the wedding", - he replies looking away.
"And what do you think?" - I ask cautiously.
"I don't know. Honestly. I don't want to postpone it. I want to marry Fleur now. I don't know what might happen tomorrow, in a month, in two minutes. And whatever happens I want her to legally become my wife. I love her. But… I can't deny that it's very dangerous if that information is true. I…I don't know, - he shrugs. – Fleur doesn't even want to discuss the opportunity of postponing. Charlie says that it's for me and Fleur to decide. Fred and George think that it all might be fun. Mum says as well as Ginny and Hermione that we must postpone it. Dad says that risks will be minimized if we have Aurors to protect us".
He looks questioningly at me. It seems that I am the only one who didn't express his ideas about the situation.
"What do you want me to say? If it was my wedding, I'd postpone it without thinking long. It is to dangerous. But… But it's your wedding. And Fleur is too stubborn to convince her anyway especially if she doesn't want to even discuss it. You can't cancel it without her exception if you don't want problems with her. So… Charlie is probably right. It's your decision. You understand how dangerous it is… If you didn't, I'd have tried to explain you. But.. This way… Bill…", - I trail away. I don't know what to add. To my point there could have been no discussion of this topic. The wedding must have been cancelled. But… Merlin! Try telling Fleur…
"Are you coming if we don't postpone?" – he asks
I nod without hesitation: "I am. No matter how dangerous it is. But… I'd prefer you to postpone it".
With that I leave.
They decided to carry on with it. Good luck for all of us… And I still hadn't reconciled with Father and Ron. Brilliant!
"I look like a doll! It's ridiculous! – Ginny is angry about her dress. – I hate it!"
She was dressed in a dress of pale gold that did look like a dress on Muggle dolls called..err.. Barba… or something…
"It might be OK for Gabrielle! But I am not ten any longer!" – she continued complaining.
I smile sympathetically and shrug. The ceremony is about to start.
The ceremony almost comes to an and. They give each other rings. They kiss. Nothing had happened yet. I look at Charlie who is standing near the altar. The best man. He meets my gaze. Yes, he thinks the same. Nothing. They are married. But nothing. May be Ministry managed to prevent it after all. Some way.
And that's when it happens.
About ten people burst in or even Apparate in the different parts of the church. (I thought Ministry blocked apparition possibility in the here!) These people are masked. It's all too quick. Before anyone has time to draw there wands out. They shout Aveda Kedavra. All of them. I fall on the floor dragging down Ron and Hermione who stand near me. Just in time. A flash of light goes over our heads. A strange idea occurs to me: "Did any of them had a specific aim. I can see Harry lying on the ground as well. He is alive. But I am almost sure that that curse was meant for him. People scream and run clearly not knowing where they are running and why.
And than the battle starts. Ministry Aurors finally overcame the shock. Well, thirty lost seconds. Didn't they expect something like that! Probably not.
I raise my head slowly. Someone thought that five Aurors will be enough? Huh!
One Death Eater starts approaching us. Three curses go towards him (mine, Harry's and Hermione's) and two of them hit him. Expelliarmus. Stupefy. He is lying on the ground. We all get up looking around. I hear two more Aveda Kedavra.
"Fleur! No!" – it's Bill. My heart sinks. I can't be… I look at the altar Bill is bent over Fleur. She is lying on the floor. Her mother is in hysterics. Fleur's dead. Thet curse had hit her.Charlie near them is fighting with a Death Eater.
I look around quickly. Three Death Eaters are lying motionless bound with invisible ropes, I assume. One is the one that attacked us. Harry bonded him. One other is done by Tonks. And she is fighting with another one. The last one was Kingsley's, as it seems. He and three more Aurorss are fighting with four more Death Eaters. I can see one more. Put down by Hermione. Where's the last one!
I look in the direction of Angelina, Alicia, Feed and George. But I can't see Fred… I blink. I meet Angelina's gaze. She shouts: "Fred! They took him!"
End.
I'll write a sequel. If you want me to. If you do, tell me, please... If youll want me to continue, Ill start posting in late December cause I dont have time for fanfiction when studying. Thanks to everyone who was reading and reviewing!
