Chapter 1- Wedding Day
Harry tried to be as cheerful as possible. his two best friends were getting married today, after all. He didn't want to spoil there day. Harry knew he'd never have a wedding day. He just didn't think he was meant to be happy. Even though Voldemort was dead, it seemed he was still destroying his life.
Harry had left everyone but Ron and Hermione in the dark after Dumbledore died. He didn't want anyone else killed on his behalf.(Although, more did.) Of course, he would have liked it more if Ron and Hermione would have stayed behind as well. But there was no chance. He guessed now it was a good thing. He couldn't have succeeded if they hadn't been around to help.
"Hello Harry, dear! It's been so long since I've seen you!" Mrs. Weasley pulled Harry into a tight hug. After pulling away she looked Harry up and down. "You haven't been starving yourself have you? You are much too thin!"
Harry smiled. Some people might have found the way Mrs. Weasley always told people how 'too thin' they were annoying, but Harry didn't. It felt like he had a real mother.
"I haven't been starving myself. I promise."
"Well, you'll be coming back to the Burrow after the wedding won't you? I know Ron and Hermione won't be there, but I'd like it if you would come. I don't like you living in that big house all alone."
"It's fine living there, really, it is. And I have business I have to attend to after the wedding. I won't be in until early in the morning and I wouldn't want to wake you and Mr. Weasley."
"Nonsense, please just for a night?"
Harry sighed. He really didn't have anything to do and he knew Mrs. Weasley knew it. "Okay, but won't there be alot of relatives staying?"
"No, only Ginny and Fleur and Bill. And well of course their baby. You've never seen her have you?"
"No, but I'll be gald to finally see her."
"Great! Well, I must be going much to attend to."
She bustled away leaving Harry to stand alone again.
'Ginny, will be there. I guess I knew she'd come for the wedding, but I didn't exspect her to stay.'
Harry sighed. He was pleased to see his godson playing with a few other children. Harry knew he was there with his grandmother. Harry often visited Ted. Hoping to be some form of fatherly figure. Although, he knew he could never take Lupin's place. And just at the thought at his dead friend he felt a tightining in his stomatch. Regret. He was used to that feeling. He felt it even more when he saw the lone twin George talking to his old friend Lee Jordan. George had never really been the same after Fred's death. He still owned the business and still made jokes but Harry as well as everyone could tell they were a rehearsed cover for his pain. Harry didn't really understand the bond between twins, but he had heard other twins say that when they were apart from the sibling they felt half of them was missing. George must have that feeling permenately.
Harry began walking through the crowd. I was a beautiful day. And since the ceremony was to be here outside Harry guessed they had not picked a better day. He noticed many people giving him huge smiles and some patting him on the back. He was used to this by now. He finally spotted the two tents that looked as normal as ever. Of course he knew inside they were really huge dressing rooms. He walked into the one closests to him.
There standing there with his red hair and freckled face, was Ron Weasley. His face was pale and Harry could tell he was nervous. Ron noticed Harry in the mirror and turned around.
"Hey Ron! So, are you excited?"
"What if something goes wrong? What if I say the wrong thing?"
Harry held back his smile. "Don't worry you'll be fine. I mena, Hermione's stayed with you all this time. I don't think you'll ever be able to scare her off."
They both laughed. "Thanks, Harry. So you ready best man?"
"You ask me as if I'm the one about to be married."
Ron smiled. "I guess all there is to fo now is wait. What do you think is taking Hermione so long?"
"I'll go check."
"Good thinking mate."
Harry left the tent and walked over to the next.
"Can I come in?" He called in not wanting to enter if anyone was still getting dressed.
"Yeah, it's okay."
Harry walked into the room. He could barely recognize Hermione. She looked more beautiful than in all the time he had known her. Harry's breath caught in his lungs as he saw the faces of the two woman helping Hermione with a few things on her dress. The first was her mother Mrs. Granger, which wasn't suprising. It was really the second face that shocked him. Now he understood that when he asked who was MOH, that Hermione would merely brush it off and say it wasn't important. It was Ginny Weasley.
She seemed to finally notice him and quickly sped off into the bathroom just as Fleur came out. Harry knew her to be a BM too.
" 'Ello, 'Arry. Eet 'as been to long."
"Hi, Fleur. How's the baby?"
"She is great. You will be staying with us?"
"Uh, for the night, yes."
"Good, I am glad to 'ear it. See you later 'Arry."
She walked out of the tent Harry guessed to go check on her daughter.
"So Hermione Ron wanted me to ask what's taking so long?"
"He's so impatient. Of course you already knew that. Tell him I said not to rush me!"
Harry gave a nod and left a tent. He had learned one thing. Brides could be very scary.

Later that day Harry watched as Hermione and Ron shared their first dance as husband and wife. Harry imagined what it would be like to be married to Ginny. He knew Ginny had probably already moved on. After all, she was very beautiful. And there are a lot of men in her new home in the US.
Harry looked aroung and saw many of his old school mates. Many of them had their own family now. He saw Lavender with Seamus holding hands. Neville and Luna standing close together holding their baby. Harry wished he could have that.
He looked around and found Ginny dancing with George. They were both laughing. That was until Ginny locked eyes with Harry. He gave her a small smile. She just looked at him with sad eyes.
She felt sorry for him. He wasn't suprised. Ginny was a caring person. Even though he was the one that broke it off with her, she felt bad for him instead of herself. He didn't know it was possible to love her more than he already did, but he felt he did now.
He saw Fleur's sister Gabriel sitting at a table alone. She was a big fan of Harry. He stood up and walked over to her. He held his hand out in front of her and she immediately grabbed it and let him lead her to the dance floor.
