Chapter 28
The days quickly became weeks and the weeks became months. Soon it was turning into Christmas vacation and Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny were all climbing onto the purple triple-decker bus. Hermione was going to spend some time with her parents before she would come to the Burrow. She told Ron to tell Bill she promises she will make it to the wedding. When they got to the Burrow, the kitchen was crammed with people.
Bill, Fleur, Madam Delacour, Monsieur Delacour, Mrs. Weasley and Charlie were all sitting at the kitchen table. The women were talking details about the wedding. The men were talking merrily with one another. Mr. Weasley and Mad Eye Moody were chatting in the corner with each other. Remus and Tonks were talking to both sets of people.
“Hello you three. Go put your things upstairs and I’ll start dinner.” Mrs. Weasley said cheerfully. They did as they were told and went upstairs, their trunks following behind them.
While they passed Percy’s old room, the door popped open and a tall stunning girl walked out. She had her long white blond hair in a bunch of stringy curls. It slicked down her back and she gave off a warm glow.
“ Ello my name ez Patricia. I ez Fleur’s cuzin.” She said gracefully.
“Um, I’m Harry and this is Ron. He’s one of Bill’s brother.” Harry said when Ron just stood there.
“Oh, your Bill’s little brother. He ‘as talked very ‘ighly of you.” She smiled. She then started down the stairs. Harry and Ron continued up the many stairs to Ron’s room.
“She’s part veela.” Ron said as they went through his door way.
“You think?” Harry chuckled. They set their things down and went back downstairs.
When they got back into the kitchen Remus and Tonks had an announcement to make.
“I’m pregnant!” Tonks squealed with delight. Everybody applauded and Mrs. Weasley hugged her. Harry smiled at Remus and patted him on the back.
“Congrats.”
“Thank you Harry.” Remus smiled and hugged the mother to be tightly. After Remus and Tonks hugged everybody and they all were able to congratulate them, Tonks and Remus said goodnight and left.
Everybody was set around the table talking to somebody. Ginny was sitting at the table chatting with Bill. Fleur was speaking half French/ half English to her mother. Fleur’s little sister, Gabrielle, had popped in out of nowhere and was giggling with Patricia. Harry took a seat next to Charlie, who was looking way better than the last time he has seen him. Charlie turned and smiled at him.
“Hi Harry. How’s school?” Charlie beamed.
“Its pretty good. We actually have a decent Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher.” Harry replied.
“He still gives me headaches.” Ron complained, next to Harry.
“Why?” Charlie asked.
“We’re learning Occlumency.” Harry chuckled.
“Oh.” Charlie laughed too.
Mrs. Weasley made a scrumptious dinner. It contained juicy steak (Bill’s was raw) and potatoes of every kind. While they ate, they exchanged stories about their last few months. Everybody was either laughing or eating the delicious food.
When Gabrielle’s head was found lying in her arms sound asleep, Mrs. Weasley decided it was time for bed. Bill took the sleeping girl into his arms and started toward her bed. Harry and Ron got up from their chairs and started for their own beds, with full, happy stomachs.
