Hakuna Matata - Familia Primum: Book Four

Chapter 16

ATTN: Majority of this chapter is the same as Lost And Found. However, there is still new information throughout. Focusing on Mirabelle.

Little Cedric is finally home again, cancer free. It's so exciting to see him full of life once more.

Ginny, Alithia, Hermione, Lily, and I were all getting dressed for Bill and Fleur's wedding. I wore a single strap, long black dress with a blue gradient hem and a silver adornment on the side wrapping around to the one strap. I added my lace slip on high heels, a sliver slave chain, and silver drop, swirling earrings.

Ginny and Alithia each wore a pale gold with black lace silhouette dress, the same as Gabrielle's, as the three of them were the bridesmaids. Hermione wore a floaty, lilac-coloured dress with matching high heels. Lily wore a red, strapless dress, with a beaded lace silhouette and mermaid design.

Once we were all prepared, Lily, Hermione, and I went down to the tent.

I sat next to Hermione, Lily sat on the other side of her. The twins next to Lily.

Once everybody was in the tent, the ceremony began. Fleur looked absolutely stunning, as she always does. Pretty sure it's that Veela blood in her.

Unlike Mrs. Weasley and Mrs. Delacour, I did not cry. At least not as much.

Once the wedding vows were done, we ate a delicious dinner by Mrs. Weasley. While all the couples were dancing, I sat at the table playing with the table cloth.

"Care to dance?" I heard a voice say over my shoulder. I turned, looking straight into those gorgeous brown eyes.

"I thought you were dancing with the veela cousins?" I said with a smirk.

"Well if you don't want to...I can always find somebody else to dance with."

"I suppose I can spare you the effort of finding a new dance partner."

"M'lady." George bowed, holding his arm out for me.

I stand, curtsey, and take his arm, "let's go." A new song starts as George leads me onto the dance floor.

"This is your final chance
To hold the one you love
You know you've waited long enough

So, believe
That magic works
Don't be afraid
Of being hurt
Don't let this magic die
The answer's there
Oh, just look in her eyes

And make your final move
Don't be scared, she wants you to
Yeah, it's hard, you must be brave
Don't let this moment slip away

Now, believe
That magic works
Don't be afraid
Afraid of being hurt
Don't let this magic die
The answer's there
Yeah, just look in her eyes

And don't believe that magic can die
No, no, no, this magic can't die

So dance your final dance
Cause this is your final chance"

"Umm.. Thank you. For the dance." I said as he held me close to him still.

"No. Thank you. Maybe we could dance again sometime."

"Yea. We'll see."

I stepped back taking a deep breath, and steading my heart rate. Then danced with Ginny and Lily. At least until the patronus entered the tent.

"The Ministry has fallen. Scrimgeour is dead. They are coming." Kingsley Shacklebolt's voice rang out.

Everything was silent in those split seconds where everybody was processing. Then the screaming started. People searching for their loved ones. Then the distinct sounds of apparation could be heard as people ran.

"Harry!" I shouted, searching for my cousin.

Death eaters appeared in the tent, stunning people, tying others up. One death eater came out of nowhere and threw me to the ground. I attempted to fight back, but failed.

"Stupify!" Ginny shouted as Lily helped me up. The three of us stood with our backs against one another. Stunning death eaters as they approached us.

Suddenly, ropes tied the three of us together. Our wands were taken and we could not defend ourselves.

They took us to the side where others were standing or unconscious, some were even tied up. They must've caused trouble. Then they separated the three of us.

I saw several people, including Mr. and Mrs. Weasley, a few Weasley cousins, Fred, George, and Cedric.

"Oh! My baby!" Lily said as she ran over and picked Cedric up.

"Hey! No touching!"

If looks could kill, that man would've dropped dead in that second.

"I dare you to try taking my son from me." A gust of wind flew through the tent.

Fred placed his hands on her shoulders and pulled her back into him. The death eater backed off, and Lily let the wind die down.

"Oh! Look what we have here!" Alyssa Lestrange cackled. "Where is Potter?"

Lily looked around the tent.

"Well, he's not here. And I am most definitely not his baby sitter. In fact, nobody here knows where Harry is. So you, and all your death eater buddies, can get lost."

"Why you insolent, little-!""

"That's all of 'em, Alyssa."

She smirked, "good. Let's say we start with...." She drummed her fingers on her chin. "The youngest? That way one of you is sure to talk." Alyssa smirked.

"You. Leave. Him. Out of this!" Lily shouted as the red fire licked around the three of them. "We do not know where Harry is. So leave, this is your final warning." She said as the fire reached out to grab Alyssa. She jumped back as the heat got closer to her.

"Fine. Let's go!" With that the death eaters were gone.

The fire died out. Lily turned to the rest of the group, "is everybody alright?"

"A few nicks and bruises. But nobody seems to be seriously injured." Mrs. Weasley said as Mr. Weasley helped her up.

"Thank Merlin. Let's get inside."

George wrapped his arm around my shoulder, leading me into the house.
