Harri Putthar and the Haldi di attack
Fleur was looking very pretty, even in an simple white Salwar suit; her hair was held up with a clip. She was sitting on a Diwaan, with her friends and relatives near her, chatting and singing songs. It was her Haldi ceremony, and it was a custom that the 'hone-wala' husband should be the first one to apply the Haldi on the to-be bride. A group of girls were singing songs in between the Hall {the same hall where the sangeet was Held} .Just then one of the girls came running into the hall, 'Woh aa gaye' she squealed with excitement. Fleur adjusted her hair, and smiled shyly. Mrs. Weasley, Ginny, Hermione, Bill, Fred and George entered the hall. Actually only the girls and Mrs.Weasley were supposed to come along with the Dulha but Fred and George insisted {They said Bill would feel awkward amongst so many girls}. Bill looked over at Fleur, who was talking to her sister. She looked beautiful than ever. She looked up at him. 'Hayyo rabba, kitna sona lag raha hai' she thought as their eyes met. Then it seemed as if they were in a total different world, all the people in the hall disappeared, and background music played, Bill started singing: 'chandan saa badan chanchal chitawandheere se teraa ye musakaanaamuze dosh naa denaa jagawaalonho jaaoo agar main deewaanaa''Bhayya,Bhayya! Aap kahan kho gaye? Bhabhi ko jaldhi haldi lagaao' Ginny said. Bill snapped out of his dream world.
'Huh?' he asked absent-mindedly.
'Bh-a-bhi ko Hal-dhi la-gaa-o' Ginny said carefully splitting her words and rolling her eyes.
'Ah, theek hai' he said as he went forward took some haldi from the the Thaali and applied it on Fleurs cheeks.
Al the girls clapped and giggled. Fred and George wolf-whistled loudly.
Then Fleur took some haldi and applied it on his nose.Everyne laughed.
Zoya: how much do these ppl laugh, later they will have to cry
Zuman: Zoya this is our fanfic…if they cry it will be only khushi-ke-aansoo….
Fred and George spotted the two girls. 'Dekh, meri Hawaa Hawaii udhar hai' Fred said.
Mrs.Delacour said something to the Hawa- Hawaii girl and she got up, heading towards a door.
As she left, her Paayal fell, Fred picked it up and hurried behind her, shouting 'Oye, Hawaa-Hawaii…ruk…..tumara Paayal….'.
She turned around, pulled the paayal from his hand and shot him a dazzling smile. He sighed.
'Mera naam hawaa-hawaii nahin hai' she said. She turned around and continued to the door,
and before he could stop himself he started singing :
'Chehra hai ya chaand kilaa hai
Zulf sunehri shaam hai kya
Saagar jaise aankhonwaali
Yeh to bataa tera naam hai Kya!'
She looked surprised and said 'Su-neh-ri'.
Zoya: Shonali, Sunehri…
Zuman: yup, we liked dhoom: 2
Sunehri blushed and ran towards the door. Fred kept staring at the door, even after she left,
at last he turned to see that George was standing behind him grinning. 'Toh uska naam Sunehri hai?'he asked.
'Na na na …. Su-neh-ri' he said in a dreamy voice. 'Tumaari-waali ka kya hua….woh Shonali'Fredasked.
'Shona? ….kuch nahin, maine usse dekha, usne mujhe dhekha, maine usse phir dhekha aur gaane laga:
tumhe pata toh hoga, tumhi pe main fida hoon
tumhe hai jabse chaaha, hawaaon mein udata hoon
tumhi mere har pal mein, tum aaj mein, tum kal mein
hey shona, hey shona, hey shona, hey shona....'
George said.
'Aur?' Fred asked. 'Aur……attitude dhikhaa kar chali gayee' he said simply
'But mujhe patha hai, kahin na kahin she also likes me.'
'Chalo bacchon,ghar chalthe hai'Mrs. Weasley said.
'Haan mummiji chaliye, bhayya ko haldhi se nahaana joh hai' Ginny said with a smirk.

Harry, Ron, Percy and Charlie had done all the preparations for the haldi at the Burrow.
Everyone had fun applying Haldi on Bill. Harri couldn't resist himself and he applied haldi
on Ginny's cheeks, Ginny was about to apply him some, but Fred came in between by mistake,
followed by confusion and then a major Haldi-Fight.
Zuman: Haldi fight? how cool is that?
Zoya: I wish I was Ginny…*sigh*
Zuman: *rolls her eyes*
