Harry did not care if he was the happiest person in the world, he knew his parents, as well as Sirius, would have wanted to live to see their dear friend, Remus Lupin, married. They would have wanted it, as they all knew the bitter life Remus led as a werewolf. This was certainly what they would have wanted someone for Remus, someone to love him despite for who he was. Even Dumbledore would have wanted to see this.
Living in my own world
Didn't understand
That anything can happen
When you take a chance
"Oh, Harry," Tonks exclaimed, "Thank you for coming." She gave him a kiss on his cheek. Harry's face burned. He remembered when he first met Tonks, and could not help laughing inwardly at the fact that she could ever marry someone as organized as Remus.
I never believed in
What I couldn't see
I never opened my heart
To all the possibilities
Remus looked dashing for a change. He had never believed that he would love. He was wrong. Harry wondered if Remus had ever asked himself, "Who would love a werewolf?" Harry shook away the thought. Whether Remus had thought it or not, it no longer mattered.
I know that something has changed
Never felt this way
And right here tonight
Earlier that summer, while staying with the Weasleys, Harry received a wedding invitation from them as did the Weasleys. Harry nearly fainted when he saw that it was Remus and Tonks. Arthur Weasley was to be the best man. Arthur nearly protested that he was too old to be best man, until Remus prompt that he was the most suitable to take on the role.
This could be the start
Of something new
It feels so right
To be here with you
Looking into the amber eyes of ex-DADA teacher, Harry could see pure happiness for a change.
And now looking in your eyes
I feel in my heart
The start of something new
To think that a year ago, no one would have thought of such a thing, unless you're Dumbledore.
Now who'd of ever thought that
We'd both be here tonight
And the world looks so much brighter
With you by my side
He remembered the times Remus was there for him. Guiding him, helping him, comforting him...
I know that something has changed
Never felt this way
I know it for real
Now, to watch Tonks in her father's arms...
This could be the start
Of something new
It feels so right
To be here with you
Walking down the pew...
And now looking in your eyes
I feel in my heart
The start of something new
Where Remus was waiting.... They kissed. Bonded for life! Then the dance floor appeared.
I never knew that it could happen
Till it happened to me
During the dance Harry found he caught something. It was Tonks' bouquet!
I didn't know it before
But now it's easy to see
Oh Merlin...
It's a start
Of something new
It feels so right
To be here with you
To his surprise, Ginny caught the silver chain which Remus threw. "Let's hear to Harry and Ginny!" Hagrid boomed. "TO HARRY AND GINNY!" the party roared.
And now looking in your eyes
I feel in my heart
Ted Tonks must have had an idea how embarrassed Harry was as he stood up to make a toast. "To Remus and Dora!" toasted Ted Tonks, "To Remus and Dora!" the party chorused.
That it's the start
Of something new
It feels so right
To be here with you
Harry looked over to Ginny who was blushing slightly. Harry felt himself blush furiously. Ron was going to kill him. And possibly Mr Weasley. He looked over to Mr Weasley, who just gave him a thumbs up and winked, saying, "It's okay." He looked back at Ginny, she just smiled at him. Maybe they were destined...
"Time for your photo!" another voice shouted.
And now looking in your eyes
I feel in my heart
The start of something new
Start of something new
Harry found himself pushed towards the centre where he bumped into Ginny.
Merlin's Pants!
Harry, thoroughly embarrassed, tried his best his to smile as the bride and groom stood beside them in the photo. I guess this isn't so bad, Harry thought, Remus was smiling. His smile banished all shame and sorrow they had both faced within the last two years. As they stood ready for the photo, Remus gripped Harry's shoulder into a light hug. A sign of promise for future joy.
The End
