As he walked to his place by the alter Harry could not help but look at everyone who had shown

up to watch. There in the back was Hagrid, who took up 3 chairs on his own, Lockhart whose

memory had improved immensely after his stay at St. Mungo's, Aunt Marge whom the whole

Weasley family had banished to the back, and Xenophilius Love good, who had apologized as soon

as he had Luna back in his arms. In addition to these guests, there was a collection of ministry

and Hogwarts employee's who had been kind enough to earn an invitation.

In the second row were many of the abundant Weasley family. But there were also a few of

Harry's and Ginny's classmates including Seamus Finnegan, Angelina Johnson, and Dean Thomas.

In the front row there was Mrs. Weasley, George, Percy, Charlie and the witch he had

met through work, Bill and Fleur, Remus and Tonks' son, Teddy, and the most surprising person of

all, Dudley. Harry had sent him an invitation just to be polite, he never really expected Dudley to

show up. But he had shown up, and had greeted everyone there as if it was the most natural thing

in the world. I cant believe how much has changed, Harry thought, I mean for one thing he had

lost almost all the fat that had been building up over the 18 years he had been living at his parents

house. Secondly he did not seem to harbor the same distrust and hatred for the magical

community that both his parents had. As Harry looked over the guests, he felt a pang of longing as

he thought of all the people who he wished could have been there. First he thought of his parents

and his godfather Sirius, and then he thought of Remus and Tonks who, just like his own parents,

had left a small child behind. Next he thought of Fred and Collin. It was painful to think about.

He reached the alter and took his position next to Ron, and Neville. Ginny and harry had decided

to go with a more muggle type wedding, so when the music started it was the typical wedding

march with one difference. It wasn't coming from any musical instrument. It was coming from the

flowers that had been placed throughout the grounds.

When Ginny walked out Harry, and every one else present, gasped. Ginny was wearing Mrs. Weasley's old wedding gown. It was a short sleeved silk gown that had a short

trail, being carried by Fleur's younger sister. Her hair was curled slightly and the effect was breathtaking. She was wearing simple diamonds studs and a matching necklace.

Harry could not believe that he was actually getting married. She was so beautiful; Harry doubted that he would be able to catch his breath before it was time to say his line.

So many thoughts were going through Harry's mind while Ginny walked up the alter that he hardly noticed Mr. Weasley walking alongside her. He only noticed him when he

kissed Ginny and took his seat next to Mrs. Weasley. As Ginny took her side next to Harry, all he could do was stare at her face. He was so oblivious that he didn't realize it

was his turn until Ron nudged him and muttered

"It's your turn mate"

"Oh," Harry said quickly as his face turned a deep shade of red, "Um… I do"

"And so do I" replied Ginny.

In a very muggle tradition they exchanged simple rings. Ginny's ring was a twisted gold ring with a small diamond. Harry's was just a gold band. But as soon as the rings were

on their fingers, the others name was etched into it in an elegant writing.

The rest of the service passed so fast that Harry couldn't keep up. It seemed that before he knew it he was riding the Hogwarts express back to London. The Express had been

covered in an amazing amount of decorations of all shapes and colors. Some would flash things such as the typical 'Just Married'. Some would show pictures of Harry and

Ginny's wedding. And some would make loud bangs and pops.

"Harry that was a wonderful idea of yours to get married at Hogwarts. It was so beautiful and magical." Ginny had a far off look in her eye and harry knew she was thinking

about their wedding.

"It just felt right. I mean that place holds a lot of good memories for both of us." Harry said as he drew Ginny in his arms.

They sat there for some time, just holding each other. Before long Ginny's breathing became slow and rhythmical, and Harry knew she had fallen asleep.

"I love you Ginny." Harry said as he placed a kiss on the top of Ginny's head.
