Chappie Eight
"Where the hell is my damn tie?" Bill shrieked, throwing shirts, pants, underwear and singlets out of his closet. Percy shrieked when Bill's bright green underwear landed on his head. He picked it off with his nails and threw it at the twins, who stopped laughing and threw the piece of clothing at Charlie. Charlie threw it out the window.
"Ahhhhh!" Some one screamed. Bill, Percy, the twins, and Charlie rushed to the window to see Serenity with a bright green 'hat' on. "That better be clean! And who wears green underwear?"
Charlie closed the window and turned to Bill who was running around the room looking for his lost tie. "Bill. Bill, calm down!"
"I can't calm down!" Bill snapped, as Harry and Ron walked into the room. Ron was struggling with his own tie. "I'm getting married today, and I can't find my favourite tie."
"Hey Bill did you ever think of trying a summoning spell," Ron muttered, tying his finger to his neck. The older Weasley men went quiet, feeling stupid that none of them thought of that idea. Harry, however was laughing.
"Accio tie," Bill muttered after pulling out his wand. He suddenly felt a sharp pain around his neck. Like some thing was choking him. The twins, Ron and Harry burst out laughing when they noticed the tie was still around Bill's neck.
"You stuffed up the entire room," Charlie muttered, "When the whole time it was around your neck."
"Good one," Percy smirked, earning a playful punch of Bill.
"I have a right to be nervous," Bill snapped.
"No, Fleur is meant to be all 'Ahhhhh!'" Fred said in a high pitched voice.
"Not you," George finished. Bill gave them a face and turned to the mirror. "Bro, you look great relax."
"I look like Mad-eye Moody in a suit," Bill snapped. Ron sniggered causing Charlie to smack him across the back.
"If any one has a problem with your looks they will have to deal with me," Charlie said, firmly. He seemed furious that any one would dare insult his older brother.
"Count me in," Percy said, looking as angry as Charlie.
"Us too," The twins tuned in.
"Ditto," Ron said.
"I'm not your brother," Harry started, "But you can count me in."
"Okay," Bill laughed, amused at the angry out burst.

Bella finally awoke after a full day of lying inside a muggle dumpster. She threw a banana peel of her face and stood up. She flung herself out of the bin. She looked around before Apparating away.
-----
Fleur stood in front of the large mirror and Mrs Weasley buttoned up the last few buttons on the back of her long creamy white dress. It was a halter-neck so the back of the shoulders and the top of her back was showing. Half of her hair was up creating a messy but lovely look. The other half was waving down against her back Ginny and Gabrielle stood besides her also fixing their dresses. Both girls had the same gold dress; Fleur had seen them in a muggle shop and instantly fell in love. It was a strapless ankle length dress with diamantes scattered evenly around the girls' chests. Both the bridesmaids had their entire hair up in the same messy look Fleur had.
"Girls, you all look beautiful," Molly cried. Mrs Delacour nodded in agreement also crying. Livia sat on the arm chair smiling at the girls, Molly was right the three looked gorgeous was dressed in black pants and a shiny lilac singlet made of silk. Livia smiled softly, imaging that if Serenity was in the room she'd be making fun of both mothers.
As if on cue Serenity walked in with a bright green hat on. She was wearing a short leather skirt and a halter-neck shirt a deep crimson in colour. It matched her bright red lips and red eyes.
"What iz ze hat you have on?" Fleur asked, not seeming to happy about the vampires hat. Serenity looked up in surprise and flung the 'hat' of her head.
"I forgot that was on my head," Serenity said, "And it wasn't a hat. It was you're soon to be husband's underwear. The ass threw it out the window, and it landed on my head."
"Who on earth wears green underwear?" Fleur said, utterly disgusted. "I vill be talking to Bill about this, I don't vant- want to see him in green underwear."
"Okay! Far too much information!" Serenity cried blocking her ears. Livia smirked as Ginny and Gabrielle laughed.
---------
Octavian walked up to a shabby looking house, and towards its door. He knocked the heavy looking wood and waiting for an answer. He could hear some one walking over to the door. The foot steps stopped as a loud thud came from inside as did the sound of glass crashing.
"Lupin?" Octavian called. He waited a few minutes but got no answer, "Oi! Remus, open the damn door!"
"Help," a voice moaned from inside. Octavian acted quickly, kicking the door in. He ran in and almost fell over an injured Remus Lupin. The young werewolf was bleeding heavily from his hip; his jaw looked broken as his right eye began to swell. He was surrounded by a shattered mirror, which was what he must have crashed into.
"Shit, what the hell happened to you?" Octavian asked pulling a muggle cloth peg out of his pocket. He quickly used it to block the smell of blood from his nose.
"You- you always, carry that with you?" Remus said slowly and in pain. He was shaking harshly.
"What happened?" Octavian asked, bending down to Remus' level.
"I happened," A harsh voice said, Octavian spun around to see Greyback standing behind him, his lips and chin covered in Remus' blood.
"You sick son of a bitch!" Octavian snarled baring his sharp white fangs. Greyback nodded, a cold laugh coming from him.
"Yes I am," he said, staring at Remus, who struggled to move away from the two other half-breeds. "But I've done what I wanted to do with the filthy traitor, so good bye."
He disappeared with a loud crack, as Octavian rushed to Remus. He easily picked up the werewolf and carried him towards a couch.
"How did he find out what you were doing?" Octavian asked, as he gently placed Remus down.
"I. I don't know," Remus mumbled his jaw sending waves of pain through his skull and neck. "Hurts to talk."
"Okay, I won't ask any more questions," Octavian said, "Serenity is the healer out of us all, but I don't know if she'll be able to come. I'll send her a message with my phone."
Octavian knelt beside Remus and began to punch a black phone with his fingers. Seconds later Serenity stood behind him. She quickly acted, using her vampiric powers to stop Remus from bleeding. As she blew on the wound it slowly closed, healing itself. The only sigh left that he had been bitten (again) was the large rip in his pants.
"Okay, Remus, I'm gonna have to put your jaw in place for it to heal correctly," Serenity said, "And it's gonna hurt like hell."
Remus nodded in understanding as Serenity gently lifted his jaw to straighten it out. Remus squeezed his eyes shut in pain as the broken bones slowly mended. Once his jaw was healed Serenity began to rub his bruises until they all went down and disappeared.
"He tore my best pants," Remus sighed, staring at his worn out dress pants.
"There your best pants," Serenity smirked. "It looks like something I'd pull out of a bin."
"Serenity!" Octavian snapped. "You can come to my house, borrow a few clothes."
"No," Remus said, "I'm sure I have clothes around here somewhere."
"Yeah right," Serenity said, "I doubt you have any cockroaches down here."
"Serenity!" Octavian cried. "Stop that!"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah," Serenity said, pulling Remus up, "You two go can go, but I've got to go get some Vodka .After all it is a wedding. "
"Alright," Octavian said, grabbing Remus' arm. He clicked, he and Remus disappeared.
"Stupid idiot," Serenity sighed. She too left with a click.
--------
Octavian and Remus appeared in front of a small house, which Remus figured to be the vampires' home. It was made of an oddly coloured purple brick. Octavian had a glance around before grabbing a key from inside a pot that was hanging from the wall.
"Great hiding place," Remus said.
"How many wizards would think to look inside a pot?" Octavian said, "Most are to busy trying to get in with Alohomora, but it doesn't work, Serenity fixed the house up so only we can get in."
Remus walked in. "It's beautiful."
"Serenity set it all up," Octavian said.
"You can tell," Remus said, "So much red and purple."
"I know," Octavian laughed. Remus was right, the vases, the curtains, the carpets, the photo and mirror frames, they were all shades of purple and red.
"Who's down there?" A voice called from above them. Remus looked up and raised a brow.
"Just me," Octavian yelled.
"Oh, okay,"
"That sounded like Snape," Remus said, walking towards the noise.
"That's because it is Snape," Octavian said, pulling Remus back. "Serenity's is protecting him, so she'd be annoyed if she comes home tonight and she finds him he's dead."
"He killed Dumbledore," Remus growled.
"I know," Octavian said, "But if Livia, Albus' own daughter can forgive him then so can you."
"What is that bastard doing here any way?" Remus snapped, "After what he done to Charlie?"
"Wolffi, he is Serenity's final descendent," Octavian sighed. "I wanted to kill him too when I first saw him, but we have to hold our anger until Serenity figures out how to kill that blasted werewolf."
"Then we can kill him?"
"Don't see why not, unless if Serenity grows attached to him, like them bears of hers," Octavian smirked, "Lets get you an out fit."
"Alright,"
------
A fat old man, with greying hair, stood in front of a large crowd with a smiled planted on his face. The man was Hugo Prevving, a high priest; one of the many priests that perform the charm that wedded witches and wizards. Bill Weasley walked up to him standing beside Charlie, his best man. Ginny and Gabrielle both stood opposite of them. On one side of the aisle Hermione sat in between Harry and Ron. Next to Ron the twins and Percy sat with Arthur and Mr Delacour. Behind of them, Octavian, Livia, Andromeda, Nymphodora and Remus now in a black muggle suit complete with a silver tie, sat with many of Fleur's family. In the other side of the aisle the rest of the order and friends from both the bride and groom where sitting. Both Mrs Weasley and Mrs Delacour were crying as Fleur Delacour began to walk down the aisle. It appeared Fleur had been crying too. She finally reached Bill and took his hand into hers, smiling lovingly at him. The high priest began to chant word in Latin, which only one person in the audience understood. However that person was not listening; Serenity was standing behind everyone looking around mistrustfully, as though she was expecting an attack. A four year old Enlil was standing next to her wondering what she was thinking about. He was in a tuxedo the vampire had gotten him. It was a grey in colour with black trimmings and a small black bow tie.
Finally the priest had reached the 'I do' part. He pulled out his wand as Charlie tied a string around Bill and Fleur's hands. The priest tapped Bill across the head three times and asked. "Do you William Weasley take Fleur Delacour to be your wife?"
"Yes," Bill said, grinning at Fleur. The priest turned to Fleur and tapped three times on her head and asked the same question to Fleur, only reversing the names.
"Yes," Fleur said happily.
"The let this union give you strength," Hugo smiled tapping on their hands. The string appeared to have slithered inside the two lovers as it shone a bright gold. "I now pronounce you husband and wife. Kiss the bride!"
Bill and Fleur kissed one another as everyone cheered.
-------
"I love weddings!" Serenity grinned, pouring her self another cup of Vodka. Many people were now sitting and eating their dinner, as some were dancing.
"I bet you do," Livia smirked.
"Drinks all around," Serenity cried, it appeared she was drunk. Everyone turned around as she jumped onto the table with the cup still in her hand.
"Serenity, get of the damn table!" Octavian hissed. She ignored him.
"A toast to the bride and gloom, I mean groom," Serenity said, raising her cup, groggily. Everyone followed her example and raised their cups up for the bride and groom. "I was reading a book of quotes and jokes today, after some greasy haired git threw the book at me this morning and I read a few things I think are good for today. This muggle named W.H Auden once said 'To make one, there must be two…' Billy and Flower clearly show us what that guy meant. Another muggle called Martin Luther King; I'm guessing some of you may know him. Well he once said, 'there is no more lovely, friendly and charming relationship, communion or company, than a good marriage.' Clearly I have no life, but to finish my toast I'd like to wish Filly and Bleur many years of love, children, chocolate and cake. To Filly and Bleur!"
"To Filly and Bleur!" The entire crowd laughed raising their cups and drinking them.
"Oh and to finish this of, I would like to sing a song, from my favourite muggle!" Serenity said, almost falling of the table, "Elvis Presley!"
Livia and Octavian both began to shake their hands, praying that she'd jump down and not sing. However she clicked and a guitar appeared in her hands. She cleared her throat before she began to sing.
Love me tender,
Love me sweet,
Never let me go.
You have made my life complete,
And I love you so.
Love me tender,
Love me true,
All my dreams fulfilled.
For my darlin' I love you,
And I always will.
Love me tender,
Love me long,
Take me to your heart.
For it's there that I belong,
And we'll never part.
Love me tender,
Love me dear,
Tell me you are mine.
I'll be yours through all the years,
Till the end of time.
The crowd cheered as the guitar disappeared. Serenity jumped off the table and finished her Vodka. Bill walked up behind her.
"Hey," he smiled.
"Hello," Serenity slurred.
"Thanks for your speech," Bill grinned.
"No problem, Ron,"
"I'm Bill,"
"Well you look like Ron, Charlie," Serenity said. Her head suddenly fell to the table. Bill poked her.
"She's asleep," Bill laughed. Livia and Octavian both sighed in relief.
--------
The next day…
The wedding went of with out a single problem. Bill and Fleur had moved into the same room, kicking Charlie and Enlil into Ron and Harry's room. Harry sat on his bed reading a book on Quidditch as Charlie and Ron played chess. Enlil sat beside Charlie whispering in his ears all the moves to play. It was the third game Charlie had one against Ron.
"Checkmate," Charlie laughed as he won.
"Man, you're cheating; you got that little squirt helping you!" Ron said, glaring at his nephew. Enlil poked his little tongue out.
"Ron, he is five years," Harry laughed, looking up from his book, "How could he possibly have help Charlie cheat?"
"Oh shut up!" Ron snapped. Enlil giggled, when Ron suddenly grabbed him and began to tickle him mercilessly.
"I give!" Enlil cried, laughing, kicking and screaming. Ron laughed as the boy struggled underneath his large hands.
"I'm gonna make you pay!" Ron laughed; his laughter was stopped when Enlil suddenly kicked Ron square in the jaw.
"ENLIL ASHUR-BANIPAL!" Charlie barked, causing the boy to jump. "How dare you kick him like that?"
"S'alright," Ron said, rubbing his jaw, "He didn't hurt me….too much."
"Sorry," Enlil sniffed, staring innocently at Ron, who gave him a cuddle.
"You need to stop hitting people Enlil," Charlie sighed. "It's not nice."
"Sorry," Enlil said again.
---------
A few days later…
In was the middle of the night. A young eight year old boy crept out of his room and down a stair case. Not making a single noise as he did. He walked closer towards the fire place, until he was standing in front of it. He pulled out the wand he was taken from his parent and muttered a spell causing a fire to start. He grabbed a handful of a green powder and jumped into the fire.
"Dad's Home!" he cried loudly. He disappeared in the flames; just as a young blonde woman enter the room.
"Enlil?" Fleur asked. She watched as the fire died down. Realisation dawned on her, "BILLLLLLLLLLLLLL!"
Seconds later Bill Weasley and his parents ran down the stair case.
"What's wrong?" Bill asked grabbing her hands.
"WHERE THE HELL IS ENLIL?" Charlie screamed as he rushed down the stairs and into the room.
"He used the floo netvork!" Fleur cried, "I was too late to stop him. I came down to get a drink of water, an zen I saw him leave!"
"Where did he go though?" Molly asked, sounding frantic.
"He went to find Snape," Charlie said faintly, "He has been asking for him for days, but I never got around to asking Serenity."
"We'll find him Charlie don't worry," Bill said, "I'll go to Serenity's. He may be there; otherwise, she will be able to find him faster."
-------
Enlil pulled himself out of the fire, staring around. His father couldn't live here; it wasn't the place he remembered. He shivered; It was cold, dark and dusty inside. He could barely make out the table and arm chairs in the room. He walked away from the fire and called for his father.
"Over here," A harsh voice said. Enlil looked up to see a black blur of a person standing at the door way. He instantly knew it wasn't his father, he spun around and ran to the fire but was tackled to the ground by the person.
"Lemme go!" Enlil struggled; he landed a sharp kick in the person's gut. The man struck him hard across the head. It throbbed painfully.
"Get of him, Greyback," a woman's voice said. Greyback spun around, to see a annoyed looking vampire. Serenity stood by the same door way Greyback had entered in fluoro pink pyjamas.
"Help me, Tante," Enlil whimpered.
"Well, well, well," Greyback said, raising his fist into the air, "He just gave me a reason to kill him."
"Stupefy!" Serenity snapped. Greyback fell over like a log as Enlil ran to Serenity crying. She hugged the younger person. "Why did you leave your home like that?"
"I want to see daddy," Enlil sobbed.
"Why didn't you just ask me?" Serenity snapped, "You could have gotten yourself killed. Let's go."
"Sorry," Enlil whimpered. Serenity clicked and the two disappeared.
