Harry Potter and the Great Old Ones

Mrs. Weasley hurriedly led Ginny out of the dining room and onto the sunny deck, where Harry, Hermione, and the rest of the Weasley family followed. They found Charlie Weasley wandering around.

They were surrounded by sunshine and a gentle breeze, enjoying the rising sun and the slightly salty sea air.

The vast ocean outside the cruise ship, the distant port of Marseille, and the azure sky painted a beautiful picture, filling everyone with anticipation.

The engine hummed softly in their ears, and the sea breeze caressed their faces.

“Hey! Fleur! Hey!” Just as they were standing on the deck, waiting for the ship to dock, the tallest of them, Bill Weasley, suddenly raised his long arm and shouted to the crowd on the shore of Marseille.

“Here! Fleur! I’m here!” Bill Weasley shouted.

Harry, Ron, Hermione, and the rest of the Weasley family were all drawn to Bill Weasley's shout, looking in the direction he was waving.

A tall, fair-skinned, beautiful woman stood in the crowd waiting to board the ship at the port, also raising her hand and waving vigorously at the cruise ship they were on.

Her long, golden hair, which had been neatly tied up, became somewhat disheveled due to the excessive force she exerted while waving it, with full, shiny golden strands falling across her forehead and sides.

"Ah! Darling!" Fleur-Delacour exclaimed excitedly towards the cruise ship, "Here it is! Here it is!"

"Ha! And Harry! Long time no see!" Fleur Delacour also saw Harry standing among the Weasleys and called out in thick French-accented English.

The cruise ship was already close enough to the shore, but it continued to move to the side because it needed to undergo a simple security check before officially landing in France.

However, this distance was enough for the sounds from the ship and the shore to travel. Seeing Fleur Delacour waving at him, Harry waved back somewhat awkwardly.

“Herrero Delacour,” Ron said sourly, standing next to Harry. “She’s engaged to Bill, and they’re getting married in Paris in three days.”

“Oh? Congratulations,” Harry said. “So fast? I remember they just officially became a couple two years ago.”

“They worked together, got along well with each other, and decided to get married,” Ron said casually. “Actually, they originally planned to hold the wedding at the Burrow in mid-August or late August, but since they had this trip to Europe, they decided to hold the wedding in Paris just three days later.”

“After the wedding, Fleur will join us on a trip around Europe as their honeymoon,” Ron continued to explain.

"That saves both money and trouble," Harry muttered to himself.

"Tierra agreed?" Harry asked again.

“Of course, Tierra said he was coming back to participate and even granted Bill and Fleur three months of paid leave in advance,” Ron replied. “Fleur invited a lot of people, including the other three contestants in the Triwizard Tournament.”

“That Krum is back too,” Ron said sourly.

"Hmm, why didn't I receive an invitation?" Harry asked, puzzled.

“Since you’ll be with us all summer, we didn’t send you an invitation,” Ron replied.
