Sirius's son

The Wedding

Three o'clock on the following afternoon found Harry, Ron, Fred, and George standing outside the great white marquee in the orchard, awaiting the arrival of the wedding guests. Harry had taken a large dose of Polyjuice Potion and was now the double of a redheaded Muggle boy from the local village, Ottery St. Catchpole, from whom Fred had stolen hairs using a SummoningCharm. The plan was to introduce Harry as "Cousin Barny" and Eliza as a Romanian friend of Charlie.

All five of them were clutching seating plans so that they could help show people to the right seats. A host of white-robed waiters had arrived an hour earlier, along with a golden jacketed band, and all of these wizards were currently sitting a short distance away under a tree. Harry could see a blue haze of pipesmoke issuing from the spot. Behind Rigel, the entrance to the marquee revealed rows and rows of fragile golden chairs set on either side of a long purple carpet. The supporting poles were entwined with white and gold flowers. Fred and George had fastened an enormous bunch of golden balloons over the exact point where Bill and Fleur would shortly become husband and wife. Outside, butterflies and bees were hovering lazily over the grass and hedgerow.

"When I get married," said Fred, tugging at the collar of his own robes, "Iwon't be bothering with any of this nonsense. You can all wear what you like,and I'll put a fullBody Bird Curse on Mum until it's all over." 

"She wasn't too bad this morning, considering," said George. "Cried a bit 'bout Percy not being here, but who wants him. Oh blimey, brace yourselves,here they come, look." 

Just then the wedding party, led by Mr. Weasley, arrived at the edge of the Burrow.

"I better go find Charlie." Said Eliza and Rigel nodded watching her walk back into the house.

"Excellent, I think I see a few veela cousins," said George, craning his neckfor a better look. "They'll need help understanding our English customs, I'll lookafter them...." 

"Not so fast, Your Holeyness," said Fred, and darting past the gaggle ofmiddleaged witches heading for the procession, he said, "Here – permetiez moito assister vous," to a pair of pretty French girls, who giggled and allowed him toescort them inside. 

George was left to deal with the middle-aged witches and Ron took charge of Mr.Weasley's old Ministry-colleague Perkins, while a rather deaf old couple fell toHarry's lot

"Wotcher," said a familiar voice, and Rigel found Tonks and Lupin at the front of the queue. Tonks had turned blonde for the occasion.

"Hey, guys.' Rigel said hugging Remus. "Where were you?"

"Grimmauld place, we added the protective charms," Tonks explained before grinning. "Did you give her the keys?"

Rigel flushed. "Yeah, and she was delighted. Never saw her that happy!"

Remus beamed. "Wait until you two get married."

"Oh shut up!" Rigel flushed to find Harry and Eliza talking to Luna.

"Hello Rigel and Harry, Hi Eliza!" Said Luna brightly, almost dancing over to them, the three exchanged startled looks.

"Er – my name's Barny and this is..."

"Madalina." Said Rigel promptly when it appeared that Harry had no idea what Eliza's name was supposed to be.

"Oh, have you changed your names too?" She said, looking at them both.

"How did you know?" Asked Harry, astounded.

"Just your expressions, nice transfiguration Eliza, your eyes go well with your dress!" Eliza smiled looking quite pleased, that was the effect she was going for. The dress was pale blue and she had tried to make her eyes slightly darker so that the match wouldn't be too perfect.
