Harry Potter Lord of Werewolves

31 December 1994

Wizarding weddings rarely were performed in church settings save for weddings between Muggleborns. Even the Christians raised in the magical world preferred to hold outdoor weddings in groves that harkened back to the Druidic traditions of Britain. While much of Pureblood community was functionally atheist, it still used many of the traditions that survived from the Celts that first settled the island. This was a pleasant fact for the bride - as a Veela she was very comfortable in the forest setting.

A magical dome was erected over the wedding site to protect it from the Scottish winter. A layer of snow covered the forest clearing's ground and the tops of the surrounding trees. While the dome kept the grove a comfortable temperature, additional charms kept the snow from melting. Elaborate ice sculptures lined the outside of the circular clearing while an arch made of ice rose over the small flowered alter where the bride and groom would say their vows.

Fleur entered the grove accompanied by her cousin, Alfonse. Her parents were just behind her with her little sister, Gabrielle. Apolline and Gerald Delacour had planned on New Year's in the Caribbean but instead were chosen to represent the French Veela as their eldest daughter was also invited. Alfonse was asked to be her 'date' for the event because of his resistance to her Veela allure. As he was also friends with the Potter boy Alfonse would also be more comfortable at such an event than her other choices at the school.

The Delacour family was one of the oldest in France. While the Great War against the Dark Lord Grindelwald had devastated much of their financial status, it was still a name to be held in respect for its commitment to the Light and to France. Gerald Delacour had done much to restore the family's position working as an investment broker for Wizarding families looking to invest in the Muggle world. As such, the Delacours were used to interacting with the elite of the Wizarding world. But a family such as the Blacks were in a class all their own.

According to legend, the first Black arrived in England as the Legatus in command of one of the first Roman Legions to be assigned to England. The Legatus' name, Atrum, translated into English as Black. Legatus Atrum led a legion heavy with Wizarding forces and was the centre of many of the Roman Army's battles with the native magical people. Atrum personally led many of the expeditions aimed at eliminating the Druids and their way of life. Eventually Atrum took a local witch to wife and started a family. When the Legatus retired from service, he and his family remained in England becoming notorious for their power and practicing magic as Dark as their name.

However, the last full member of the Black family did not match his ancient family's reputation. Fleur found him to be rather interesting for an Englishman. It was not hard to see why Kalina was so taken with him. His air of fun coupled with the Bad Boy was like a magnet. Even her mother, Apolline, commented on it.

Suddenly the music changed to signal the start of the ceremony. The small band playing on traditional Celtic instruments started a joyful march as Kalina came into view with her attendants. Normally her parents would follow next but they had both been lost on a potion ingredient expedition to central Africa that encountered a nundu. Kalina looked stunning in her wedding dress. Even Fleur felt a small tug of envy on how her cousin filled the gown.

As Kalina moved to take her position, her soon to be husband appeared with Harry Potter and a grey haired wizard Fleur had only met briefly. All three wizards looked nice in their formal robes. For a second Fleur found herself looking at Harry Potter through new eyes. She could see him aged several years. He was already large and well-muscled for his age but in her sight he was now into his full growth and maximum potential. With his dark untamed hair and stunning green eyes, he had the same devil-may-care attitude as his godfather but coupled with the power of the great mages like Dumbledore. The vision took her breath away.

As a Veela she had always looked for potential matches that could strive to be worthy of her. Now here was a younger wizard that she wondered if she could ever be worthy of standing next to. A small voice in her head said she would never be worthy of it. It was strangely humbling to the Veela teen.
