" GET UP , HARRY , RON , GET UP NOW."

Harry jumped out of bed and faced Mrs Weasley. Ron mearly turned on his side and grumbled.

" Get out of bed now , you lazy sack of potatoes " she shrieked and she raised her wand.

" Ronald Weasley do you want a nice red backside to go with that hair , because I can do it. Dont test me young man."

" Okay Mum I'm up " cried Ron and he fell out of the bed and stood up straight. " Whats going on?"

" Mr and Mrs De Lecour are coming for dinner. So I need you all up and dressed so I can begin a clean up of the house."

" But Mum , they arent going to be looking in my sock drawers for god sake , cant I get another hour of sleep."

" Ronald I would't force a convicted murderer to look through your sock drawer for safety reasons. Now get dressed and come down to breakfast immediatly. Good boy Harry , always up and ready. RONALD you have five minutes."

Harry smiled and got dressed quickly. Ron followed and arrived at the kitchen table.

" So " said Hermione we get to meet Fleur's parents. This should be very interesting."

Harry groaned. " I was actually looking forward to this wedding , but now..."

" Harry " said Hermione. "I'm sure the Dursleys will be on their best behaviour. I mean a wedding is a formal occasion so it wont be much different to any muggle in a way. Look we dont judge you on these people."

Mrs Weasley appeared. " Good you are all dressed and you appear decent. " Very well. Go outside and check for your Father Ron. I want everything to be perfect."

" Mum if you hate Fleur so much , why get so bothered about her parents?"

" Ronald , my son is marrying that witch and I want her parents to see that we have raised him to be a nice normal boy , or at least let it appear that way while they are here understand?"

Bill arrived in the door smiling.

" Bill " cried Mrs Weasley. " Are they here yet?"

" No Mum. " Do we have to meet them. I hate this idea Mum."

" Bill relax " soothed Mrs Weasley. " They cant be that bad." She raised her eyebrows. " Obviously they can be."

" They are bringing Gabrielle as well " said Bill. " Plus their Son Jon he is slightly older than Ginny and attends a fancy french wizarding school outside Paris."

" Ooh la la " said Ron as Harry and Hermione laughed.

" Bill do you like Fleur " asked Ginny. Mrs Weasley looked at her startled but it was obvious she had wanted to ask Bill the very same question.

Bill laughed. " Of course I do. I'm marrying the girl on tomorrow for Christs sake."

" Yes" sighed Mrs Weasley. " A pity " she mumbled under her breath. " Now then I better get the meal ready."
