Spells and Visions; A Harry Potter story

Chapter 2: After Sunshine Comes Darkness 2

"Us?" Ron asked. "Why us?"
"I'll have to tell you that in private. Is there such a place?" Scrimgeour asked mrs Weasley.
"You could use the sitting room," she said nervously.
Scrimgeour went with the trio, and we waited in silence. Were they in trouble? Harry had used magic while fighting the Death Eaters after all, when he was still underage.
After a while, we heard voices raise, all exchanged looks, and mr and mrs Weasley stood up and hurried to the room to see what was going on.

They came back to the garden, where we all sat, with the trio, and told everyone what the Minister wanted. He had given the three what Dumbledore had left them. Ron had gotten a Deluminator, an object with which you can turn lights on and off. Hermione had gotten a copy of 'The Tales of Beedle the Bard', that could be useful, somehow. Harry had gotten the first Snitch he had caught, which made me wonder if every match a new Snitch was used. He was also left the sword of Gryffindor, but the Ministry had taken that, and wouldn't give it to Harry. That explained the raised voices.
Then we ate cake, and went to bed. But I didn't quite get why the three were left not really useful things.

"Any idea what this book is?" Hermione whispered to me, when Ginny was already fast asleep.
"It's a kids' book, not that our mother ever read it to us, but I do know it."
"Why would Dumbledore leave me a book with fairytales?"
"No idea," I whispered back. "And what is Harry going to do with a Snitch? I don't suppose you all have time to play some Quidditch."
Hermione let out a chuckle.
"I don't think so either. And a Deluminator is pretty cool, but if we wanted the light to go out, we could just use Peruvian Instanst Darkness Powder."
"Exactly."

We had a lot of preparation to do for the wedding the next day. It would be held in the extremely large yard. We had put on our best clothes, and in the afternoon, when the guests arrived, everyone had to help them and show them their seats. Harry had to take Polyjuice Potion to disguise himself, and now was supposed to be 'cousin Barny', another Weasley. Everything looked beautiful, with golden seats everywhere on either side of a purple carpet.
It seemed, just for a moment, that everything was fine, no one was leaving, and no Dark Lord was taking over the wizarding world.

More guests arrived, and I saw Luna, and someone, who was probably her father, was talking to Ron and Harry. He looked just as strange as his daughter, but I had no time to talk to him, because Luna came to me.
"Hello, Jynx!"
"Hi! Good to see you!"
"You too! It's really nice of the Weasley's to invite us to the wedding. But remind me, who's getting married?"
I heard Neville behind me hide a chuckle, but I only smiled.
"The oldest brother of Ron. Fleur's the bride, I don't know if you remember her."
"Isn't she the Veela from the Triwizard Tournament?"
"Yeah, yeah, she is," I said, slightly surprised she knew that.

Soon it was time, and I took my place on the side with Hermione, Ron, Harry and Neville. Soft music started playing as Bill stood with Charlie, both very good-looking, and Bill looked so happy that the scars on his face were almost not visible. Fleur came with her father from the other side, and everyone turned to see her. She wore a simple white wedding dress, but I never noticed before how beautiful she actually was. She wore the Weasley's Auntie Muriel's tiara, which suited her perfectly. Auntie Muriel, who sat not far from it, looked approvingly at her. Ginny and Gabrielle were the bridesmaids, and wore golden dresses.
The vows were said, and we applauded, and when I saw Bill and Fleur stand there happily, I wondered if that would ever be Cedric and me, and once again, I hoped he was alright.

Then we were asked to stand up. The place was turned into a party room, the chairs were placed by tables, and waiters walked by with trays filled with food, cake and Butterbeer.

I was right, this day made us forget about all our worries for a minute. Neville and I had a great time, danced on the dancefloor, and laughed with our friends.
We took a pause, to relax and drink some Butterbeer, and then I saw Tonks and Lupin. I hadn't had much time to talk with them since they disappeared last night. I suddenly remembered that I wanted to ask Lupin something, too.
