A/N: So… I'm a terrible person. I won't be able to update until the 3rd of January next year. I'm going to be away from my laptop and off on a two-week cruise in a small cabin with my parents.
There is a likelihood three will go on vacation and only one will remain to come back…
A battle royale…
(I'm mostly joking.)
Still! I'm looking forward to hearing from all of you and I hope y'all have a great holiday doing whatever it is you're doing!
Lots of love my readers/friends/compatriots!

The Adventure of Skull and Ri
9.5: Italy, France, and Money, Oh My! Part Five
It took a few days but Ri finally made it to Fleur's home with the entire group in tow. He felt his face split into a wide smile when he saw a very impatient, very pregnant and very familiar face.
"Fleur!" Ri exclaimed in greeting before squealing in time with the excited blond who hugged him tightly.
"Oh! Riri!" She hugged Ri tightly. "You look well, my friend," she said happily.
"How are you? You're glowing, and it's not the allure I'm talking about," Harry replied. Fleur huffed out a laugh.
"I am well, I'm almost due, a month of so left," she replied, her English and accent much better than her sisters. However, she had spent five years in England with her husband and her first child, Victorie, at Shell Cottage. "This one is a boy alright, he's very restless."
"You still look phenomenal, this one is your last right?" Ri asked and she nodded.
"Oui," She said with a smile, "Now show off you fiancé and children, mon ami."
Ri laughed and a round of introductions were made. They were then ushered into the house where Ri was swept up into a surprise hug by a bear of a redhead.
"Harry Potter!" Bill said warmly, swinging him around excitedly, "How's my littlest brother?"
Ri laughed and hugged him back.
"Put me down, Bill," he scolded, the man earning a smack from his wife as well. They were about to go through another round of introductions when a little blond missile, followed by a blue haired one, tackled Ri from behind.
"Uncle Ri!" The blond one squealed.
"Harry!" The blue one yelled.
"Victorie, Teddy!" Ri exclaimed, "I thought you were at the Burrow?" All the children went to the Burrow for two weeks to spend time with the Weasleys to give their parents a break. Ri had checked since he had hoped to get Andy and Teddy to join them on their vacation, but the former Black Sister had declined stating prior plans.
Ri had been very disappointed. To see them in France set off warning bells however and he eyed Bill suspiciously and caught movement behind him.
"Nah, we've got a surprise for you Harry," Bill said with a grin. Ri's eyes widened as the whole Weasley family, in mass, showed up behind him.
"Harry!" They chorused and then jumped him.
"Waa—Ack!" Ri yelped as a dog pile of redheads jumped him.
"Ta-da!" Bill said with a guffaw as Ri disappeared below almost every Weasley brother, sister and child.
"We heard you were coming to France and decided a family reunion was needed," a very familiar warm voice.
"Mum," Ri exclaimed wiggling out from below the pile, not so subtly elbowing Ron and Fred in the head, earning a grumbling yelp. Molly Weasley embraced her youngest boy, and foster son happily.
"How are you Harry?" She asked, tisking over his ruffled out fit and slapping George and Charlie when they playfully tugged on it.
"I'm good," Ri replied smiling brightly, "I'm surprised to see you though. Let me introduce you to your new grandbabies!"
Molly's warm smile grew.
"Oh they're adorable," she said engulfing Enma in a warm hug, "But much too thin. Come in, come in, Fleur's let me use the kitchen. I'll fatten you all up with some good food. You all like tatters right?"
Ri smiled and felt Skull entwine his fingers with his as his enormous family decided to pool together under one roof.
"Maybe I should propose again," Skull murmured to Ri, "Everyone would get a kick out of it."
Ri just beamed at him and lifted up on his toes so he could snog his lover.
