Chapter 1 - Molly Weasley

She first knew on the day of Bill and Fleur's wedding.

She knew how much he was suffering, with the wieght of Who Know Who draped so heavily on his shoulders.

She knew how much she was suffering, with the prospect of returning to Hogwarts alone next year, with Snape and whoever else might be there.

But she thought for today they would both let go of their troubles, for one last day of fun.

She knew she should enjoy it, be having fun herself, for it was her eldest son's wedding, but she couldn't take her eyes off Miss Ginevra Weasley, her youngest offspring, and Mr Harry Potter who'd become as good as a son to her.

She'd watch him make excuses to go sit alone, or just out of busy groups.

She'd watch her make excuses to not dance as much as was possible.

Then she'd watch him watch her. Whether she be swirling around the dance floor on the arms of some young man, or be sipping champagne with old family friends, he'd be watching her with such emotion in his eyes she'd often have to look away.

Then she'd watch her steel glances at him when she thought no one was looking. The brave face she had on turned to one of worry at the sight of one Mr Harry Potter, so let go and worn out.

She watched them as she watched the sun pass over their heads, off to disappear in the West.

She watched them as she watched the band start to play much slower music.

She watched them as she watched couples take to the floor to dance much more romantic dances.

Then she watched him rise out of his chair and walk straight towards one Miss Ginevra Weasley, sat with just a single friend.

She watched him asked slowly for her hand in this dance. She watched her take it and then as they took to the floor together.

Then she watched them dance.

Their eyes lit up as they swirled beautifully round and round the dance floor, staring only at one another, the rest of the world gone.

She knew then that her youngest and only daughter Ginny Weasley, was in love with the one and only Harry Potter, and that the one and only Harry Potter was in love with her youngest and only daughter.

She knew then that their love was so strong. She knew that nothing was to keep them apart.

She knew then that they would be that way forever.
