Bill and Fleur's wedding date was finally set for Halloween, Having been changed a number of times due to the various attacks and work for the Order they were asked to accomplish. Finally Fleur, it seemed had put her foot down and Mrs. Weasley along with her.
Charlie was slated to be Bill's best man and Ron was the groomsman. The bridesmaids were Fleur's sister Gabriel and Ginny Weasley. The borrow hadn't been a safe place for a while even with the various wards and so the Weasley's were living at Grimmald place for now. Even with the resent improvements made since Narcissa Malfoy destroyed the painting of old Mrs. Black, Fleur still didn't want the wedding at the Black Mansion. Minerva McGonagall offered up Hogwarts for their Ceremony and reception. Those that were part of the festivities were allowed to attend.
When the morning of Halloween arrived Harry was shaken awake by Snape and told to dress and meet him in the common room. After throwing a t-shirt and jeans on Harry rushed into the common room to find the Twins seated on one of the couches with Ginny between them. Hermoine was comforting Ron. Percy and Charlie were talking in subdued tones near the window and Neville and Draco were sitting on the other couch talking quietly and near them sat Narcissa. When he entered Ron looked up at him. Remus and Snape were talking quietly with his Aunt Petunia. The whole scene looked wrong. "What's happened?" Harry asked
Everyone looked up when they heard him speak and he looked back toward Remus. "Something's happened hasn't it?" Harry asked
"I'm afraid so Harry. Tonks, Molly and Fleur are in St. Mungo's. There was a Death-eater attack on Grimmald place last night. Mrs. Longbottom is also in St. Mungo's as well. She was visiting with Arthur and Molly." Remus said quietly.
"Bill and Arthur?" Harry asked
"They are with Molly and Fleur now." Remus said "I'm going as well, would you like to go with Ron and the rest?"
Harry nodded and the group used their floo in the common room to go to St. Mungo. Harry saw that Charlie and Remus were already asking for information so he stood near Ron, Ginny and Hermoine looking down at the white marble floor. After a bit they followed Remus and the rest to the fifth floor and out into a long wide corridor. He knew they were close to Mrs. Weasley's room when an orderly opened a door up ahead and loud and clear he heard Molly Weasley talking to her husband. "I'm Ok Arthur! I am getting up and we are going to see about Fleur!" Molly said and the rush of the Weasley kids was a sight to behold.
From behind him he heard Mrs. Longbottom "Nonsense young man. Now if you don't leave this room immediately so I can get dressed I'll turn you into a duck and cook you for my supper!" She bellowed and even Harry flinched.
"Looks like Gran and Mrs. Weasley are doing ok," Neville said with a ghost of a smile before entering the room his grandmother was in. Harry saw Remus go into a room up the hall and followed. When he opened the door he saw Remus sitting by Tonks bed. He had his head on her tummy and was sobbing while she stroked his hair. She had a few bruises and her hair; usually bubblegum pink was electric blue. She looked up and smiled and made a motion for silence and he nodded and stepped out.
He returned down the hallway and entered Mrs. Weasley's room and saw her laying in bed and laughing and crying at the same time. When she saw him she motioned him over and pulled him down for a hug. "Thank you for coming Harry dear. Have you seen Tonks? Is she ok?" Mrs. Weasley asked worriedly
"She's fine but I think Remus needs time with her" Harry said quietly.
"The old wolf! I bet he is balling his eyes out" Fred said
"Right you are brother dear, we know who really has the fangs in that family" George said chuckling.
"How is Neville's grandmother does anyone know?" Mrs. Weasley asked
