My Love For You

Chapter 19: Bill and Fleur's Wedding

I dressed up for the ceremony in Ginny's room at the Burrow with her and Hermione. Hermione got dressed in a beautiful rose-red dress that made her look like a flower. She styled her hair to make it less bushy, much like she did at the Yule Ball. Ginny dressed in her gold bridesmaid dress that Fleur decided to make her wear. I carefully put on a pretty red dress, like Hermione, but mine was silky with a long skirt. I paired it with my necklace from Harry and some plain black heels. The three of us spin around in the mirror before heading downstairs for the wedding.

When we got downstairs, everyone else was in the living room, getting ready or out fixing the tent for the ceremony.

I looked around for Harry. I walked over to Fred and George; another red-head boy with curly hair was with them. "Fred, where's Harry?" I asked.

The curly red-head boy turned around and blushed pink. He cleared his throat and responded, "I'm Harry, Kiara. I took a Polyjuice Potion for the wedding so I wouldn't get much attention." He stared at me for a bit longer, "Don't you look gorgeous."

My cheeks flush pink. "T-Thanks. I sure hope that everyone can make it, even in these conditions."

Harry smiled, "Yeah. But at least we have happy times in these Dark Ages." Suddenly, Mrs. Weasley's voice comes from the kitchen. "You kids get to the ceremony!! Now!!" Wey all walk out to the tent.

~~~

Walking in there, I felt out of place with all those wizards. I walked around looking for a familiar face, and she found Luna Lovegood, wearing a sunflower yellow dress with a sunflower in her hair. "Hi, Luna! I love your dress! It's so bright!"

"Oh, why thank you, Kiara! You look stunning in your dress!" She smiled.

"Thanks! If you'll excuse me, I should find a seat. Bye!"

Luna ran over to her father, and I ran over to Harry and sat down. "Hiya. Oh, look! Here comes Bill!"

As Bill walked down the aisle with Charlie as his best man, I pointed. Soon, everyone stood up to see Fleur, elegant Fleur, walking with her hand on her father's arm. Ginny and Gabrielle walked gracefully behind them. Then, the ceremony started.

"I now pronounce you man and wife." Bill and Fleur kissed, sealing their marriage. Mrs. Weasley and Madame Delacour were sobbing into scraps of lace.

The chairs and seating flew into tables, and a large dance floor was in the wedding center. Harry offered, "May I have this dance?"

It felt odd that he had disguised himself, but I giggled and accepted, taking his hand. We danced around the floor, remembering when we danced at the Yule Ball.

I sat down with Hermione, and we checked the Extension Charm on her small bag. "We have everything, Kiara. We're ready to leave at a moment's notice."

Kinsley's Patronus appeared, "The Ministry has fallen, Rufus Scrimgeour is dead. They are coming."

I ran around looking for Harry and Ron with Hermione. I spot them within the panicked crowd and call to them. Once we're all together, Hermione apparates us.

"Hermione, where are we?" Ron asks as she looks up and down the street.

"Tottenham Court Road. It was the first thing I could think of." She's rummaging around in her bag for the clothes we packed. "We'll be safer in the muggle world."

I grabbed her bag and pulled our clothes out for her. "We have extra clothes and the cloak. Let's change in this alley here."

Harry changes, then Ron, me, and lastly, Hermione. Hermione stuffs the formal clothes in the bag and closes it. We all walk up the street into a coffee shop. Harry puts on the cloak before we enter.

~~~

Hermione orders a cappuccino from the worker. Ron, thoroughly confused, requests one too. With a glance at the menu, I unknowingly order a frappé.

We chat in whispers for a bit until two men enter the shop. I immediately get a bad feeling. A spell shoots from their wands, and we quickly get up and start fighting back.

Soon, they're down on the ground. Hermione shouts at the café worker to get out, and she runs back to the kitchen. "Should we kill them?" Ron asks.

"No," says Harry, "They'll know we were here."

"We could wipe their memory," I suggest—Hermione nods and casts, "Obliviate" on both.

~~~

After the coffee shop incident, we make our way to Grimmauld Place. We walk in to find that they triggered Moody's trap for Snape. After a few minutes of fear, Mrs. Black's shrieks echo the halls. "Filth! Scum! By-products of dirt and vileness Half-breeds, mutants, freaks, begone from this place! How dare you befoul the house of my fathers!"

Harry yells, "Oh, shut up!!" He closes the curtains to her picture. We set up camp in the guest room and looked through a few things, discussing what might have happened after leaving the wedding.
