Chapter 3: Bill and Fleur's wedding preparation

I woke up the next morning to see everyone bustling around the house. I walked down stairs and saw mum standing over the stove.

"Mum, if you don't mind, could you tell me what's going on here?"

"Oh good you're up, Ginny dear I was just about to send Hermione up to wake you."

"You didn't answer my question Mum."

"And what question was that, honey"

"What's going on?"

"Ginny, today is Bill and Fleur's wedding, my dear"

"What? Ugh how can I be so stupid and not remember that."

"I don't know dear but you think Harry'll be coming?" she said turning around to face me.

"Probably not, but maybe he forgot t-"

"Oh Heavens, Ginny-" she said like she had just saw what I looked like "Hurry on upstairs the Delacour's will be here in moments time and you aren't even dressed yet. Shoo now upstairs, but don't put on your brides mates dress yet, put on some old muggle clothing and help your brothers and Hermione with the cleaning, will you?"

"Sorry Mum, I forgot. You know seeing how I have just gotten out of bed. I'll hurry Promise" I said turning and rushing up the stairs.

When I got to the second landing I saw Harry for a quick second again and then he was gone. Shaking my head I said to myself "Snap out of it Ginny. Harry isn't here; he's off fighting Voldemort to save you and the wizarding world." After I had realized that he wasn't here and had brought myself back to reality I walked into my room and saw Ron was cleaning.

"Ron…" I said. No answer. "ROn…" Once again, no answer. "RON!!"

"Huh what?" he said jumping. "Oh Hiya Ginny"

"What are you doing?"

"What do you think? I'm cleaning"

"How fake can you get? You weren't cleaning…" I said grabbing my wand "Were you?"

"Yes I was"

"Oh sure. Well okay whatever" I said pointing my wand in midair

"What are you doing?"

"Well I was going to get my diary out then I was going to change so will you leave."

"But I must finish cleaning" he said with a sly grin on his face

"Oh no you don't have to I will now leave before I turn you into a guinea pig." I said pointing my wand at him.

"Don't lie to me Ginny. Ever since Harry dumped you you've been very moody lately"

"Ronald Weasley. You Dumb GIT!!!! I hate you!!!!!!! GET OUT OF MY ROOM!!!" I said starting to cry.

"Ginny I didn't mean to I did-"

"I WAS TRYING TO FORGET ABOUT THAT!! THANK YOU!!!!!!! Now if you don't mind I would like it if you GOT OUT OF MY ROOM" I screamed so loud that the ghoul in the attic stopped throwing pipes to listen. "GET OUT NOW!!!!!!!!" I said slamming the door in his face. Throwing myself onto the bed I began bawling. Why does Ron have to be such a careless older brother? I mean I bet Percy is nicer then Ronald. I thought.

"I bet he is too." I heard a voice say softly in my ear. As I looked up I saw Harry standing there in his dress robes. Oh how he looked so beautiful standing there with his jet black hair a mess as it sat upon his head, and how his green eye's glimmered behind his glasses. "Oh Harry you came back." I said standing up and hugging him "But how?"

"What do you mean?"

"How is it is that last night you just disapperated into space to fight the retched Voldemort and you come back after only one night of work. I mean you couldn't have possibly have destroyed him already. Could you?"

"Ginny I only came back for Bill and Fleur's wedding. I know it means a lot for you to see me but…" He stopped dead and began holding his forehead. "Harry what's wrong? Don't tell me it's Voldemort again. It is him isn't it?" I asked as he quickly changed his robes and said "Ginny I must go. I love you Gin. Remember that" and he disappeared out of the room "I love you to Harry" I said into infinite space.

"GINNY!!!! THE DELACOUR'S ARE HERE!!!" mum yelled up the stairs. I quickly changed my clothed and then with a flick of my wand my room was spotless, and it had changed into the brides' room, and my dress hung on the hanger. Ah Perfect! I thought walking out of my room. I wondered down the stairs thinking about the newest and final encounter with Harry until the war was over.

As I walked into the kitchen I saw Fleur, her sister Gabriel, and her parents all standing around smiling. "Zis is ze best day of my life" Fleur said proudly "Oh Ginny it iz so nice to see you again." She rushed over and hugged me "Will you pleze show me ze way to ze brides room. I must start getting ready for ze wezing"

"Oh yeah, sure I'll show you up." I said starting up the stairs. As we got to the second landing I pushed open the door to my room and walked in. "Here you are Fleur. The Brides room."

"Oh zank you so much Ginny it's beautiful." Then she hung her dress and said "I'm just not sure if zis is what I want to do anymore."

"Oh boy. Pre-wedding nerves"

"What did zou just say?"

"I said, you'll be fine it's just pre-wedding nerves" and I places a hand on her shoulder as she sat down on the bed. "Fleur, look at me. Please look at me." She looked up at me "You love Bill right?"

"Yes I do, I love Bill but its just zis doesn't feel right. I mean ze house isn't decorated to what I wanted. I don't even know what ze back yard looks like. Is it going to be reazy by zis afternoon?"

"Oh Fleur. Try to not worry about it Mum will get everything ready on time. I promise."

"Zank you Ginny. I zink we should start helping zem. To get it done quicker."

"Good idea Fleur." I said just as Hermione walked in.

"This room is gorgeous. Ginny you did a good job. Oh and by the way everything is finished. The house and the garden are just perfect. Now we have two hours to make ourselves just beautiful."

"Two hours? That's an awful long time." I said looking at Hermione as she hung her dress beside mine. "Well let's get started. Ginny I'm going to do your make-up and Fleur will do your hair." She said sitting me down in the chair. "Oh okay" I said looking confuse. Twenty minutes had passed and Hermione had finished my make-up and Fleur was putting the finishing touches on my hair. "Zere," she said "I am done" she stepped out from in front of me so that I could see myself in the mirror. "Oh my gosh!" I said smiling "I look…"

"You look HOT!!" Hermione and Fleur said together. "Harry will for sure fall for you again." Said Hermione

"He's not coming" I said standing up from the chair and walking over to the couch and plopping down on one of the whit cushions.

"What! He's not coming? Oh zis is outrageous he should be here."

"He's off fighting Voldemort Fleur. I'm sorry." I said "He really wanted to come"

"Oh well, zat is fine as long as he gets rid of zat retched Volzemort" Fleur said coming over to sit by me. As she sat she grasped my hand "You really miss him don't you Ginny?"

"I do. I miss him a lot even though I've seen him lately. I mean he was the only guy who saw me for who I was on the inside and not on the outside. My first true love. Now I don't know when I'll see him again. I have no idea what he'll be back at all. Guys I'm worried" I said laying my head on Fleur's shoulder.

"It's okay Ginny. Zou will see him soon. Harry will be back." Fleur said

"Yes he will. Ginny you have his only power to defeat Voldemort. LOVE! Ginny I have never seen Harry love someone as much as he loves you" Hermione said wrapping me in a hug.

"Thanks you guys." I said "Ya'll rock. Oh wow would you look at the time" I glanced at the clock. "We have and hour to the wedding. Better you two get ready and I'll go ahead and get dressed." With that said we all started- in my case finished- getting ready.
