You can let go now Daddy (songfic)
Chapter 1: Happy Moments
All of the days of my life have been happy ones, I remember all the happiest times and the bad times, but the bad ones always had some good come out of them.
The first time I thought that my life was perfect was when I thought it was the happiest day of my life. That was the day that I turned 5 years old. I could do many things by then; I could turn my brothers' hair green by just me getting angry at their pranks, I sometimes even turned their hair half green and tease them that they had "Christmas hair". I could tie my shoes, I could ride a broomstick, but I never could ride a bike. So on that day my father taught me to ride a bike, and that moment made that day the best day of my life. I remember it so clearly even now, 16 years later.
I was sitting on the two wheeled bike at the top of the Burrow's driveway while my father held on tight to the back of my seat.
"Ready?" he asked.
"Absolutely" I replied.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes"
"Positively absolutely sure?"
"Positive!"
"Are you..."
"YES! GO!!" We speeded down the driveway toward the Burrow, my father struggling to hold on. "You can let go now Daddy! You can let go!" I hollered back at him. When my words reached him he let the seat go. .
I wobbled a bit but I steadied myself. I could feel the wind blowing my hair back and the way that it hit my face was so exhilarating…I was grinning by the time I was half way down the driveway. That was the exact moment that I knew that was the best day of my life and that it would be forever…
That all went away the moment I met Harry Potter. Yes, I could tell by the moment I met him he was the man for me. Then when he rescued me from the Basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets in my first year just made my destiny even clearer. On that day I thought for sure was the happiest day of my life. I mean sure it was horrible; I was possessed for god sake! But that was the day that Harry finally saw me and then we began a friendship.
After that I had a few more "happiest days of my life". For instance in my fourth year when we began Dumbledore's Army or better known as the DA (I came up with the name…) I was so glad that I was FINALLY learning something worthwhile that I could actually use out there in the real world.
It never got anymore real then when in my sixth year (Harry, Hermione and Ron's supposed to be seventh.) when the Death Eaters and Lord Voldemort attacked Hogwarts. I fought my hardest and it paid off. I couldn't believe that I was still alive! Even though many people who fought died, the wizarding world was now safe….again.
Although those are all great memories and I will never forget them, I would have to say that my wedding day was truly the happiest day of my life. I couldn't stop grinning! I was walking down the aisle holding on tightly to my father's arm. I looked absolutely stunning and by the look on my soon to be husband's face, he also thought I looked stunning. My hair was put up in the back of my head in an elegant bun, with a few strands of hair coming down. I hardly had any make-up on because I thought that my dress made me look beautiful enough. My dress was an elegant white dress that just skimmed my toes. It had straps that fell to my shoulders and little sparkling flowers on sparkling vines going up my thigh. To tell you the truth, I was just working hard on NOT tripping which would be terribly embarrassing! Especially on my wedding day! My father and I had just reached the alter; I couldn't believe I had made it that far without falling on my face or breaking down and crying. But when I turned to my father when the Preacher said: "who gives this woman?" I saw that he is bawling his eyes out. I thought that was only my mother who had the extreme Weasley Hormones. He held on to my arm even tighter when he heard the preacher's voice, but only until I whispered in his ear:
"You can let go now, Daddy, You can let go. Oh, I think I'm ready, to do this on my own. It still feels a little bit scary, but I want you to know, I'll be okay now, Daddy, you can let go."
I walked up to the altar and stood across from the man I loved. It was a day I would never forget.
