If you Believe - by Andrea Remanda - From Ella Enchanted
Once upon a time
I always did as I was told
(yeah)
And every day and night
I tried to make it on my own
But I had a secret
I needed someone there to tell
You said look inside yourself
You can break the spell
Believe the voice inside of you
Live out your dreams and make them true
Through your eyes, I may see
With your love, you set me free
Wishes can come true If you believe
I opened up my eyes
And every wish I had was granted
And to my surprise
I found myself with you the night chanted
(yeah)
Everyone can make a change
I knew that when I met you
Together we can make it
If you feel it too
(ohhh)
Believe the voice inside of you
Live out your dreams and make them true
Through your eyes, I may see
With your love, you set me free
Wishes can come true
If you believe
(If you believe in love)
Wishes can come true
(If you believe in love)
Wishes can come true if you believe
(If you believe in love)
Believe
Believe the voice inside of you
Live out your dreams and make them true
Through your eyes, I may see
With your love, you set me free
Wishes can come true
Ya if you believe
(If you believe in love)
Live out you dreams and make them true
(If you believe in love)
Through your eyes you help me see
With your love, you set me free
Wishes can come true
If you believe
It was a cold windy day in the middle of January. Outside in the cold, the ground was covered in snow. Children were having snowball fights and parents were helping their young children make snowmen. Inside a small church that looked like it was going to fall apart at any point, light was coming through the windows from the candles that were lit. There were 12 people in the church. Two were standing at the altar, 8 people were standing up looking at the doors and 2 people standing at the door. Those people were Ted Tonks and Phoenix Malfoy.
Phoenix, who looked completely stunning and captivating, was wearing a simple white dress. It had sequins that twinkled in the light giving her a heavenly glow. Her blonde hair was done up in an elegant bun with a tiara that Andromeda had given to her.
The wedding march soon started to play from the organ at the back of the church, which was playing by itself. Both Ted and Phoenix started to walk down the aisle, heading to the altar towards Phoenix's future. The future that she had wished for, for so many years, to the man that loved her more than anything in the world and who she loved back just as much. Something that Phoenix never would of believed till her fifth year at Hogwarts. Once at the altar, Ted gave his niece to the man who would be looking after her for the rest of her life. That man was Oliver Wood, who was dressed in a traditional Scottish outfit.
Oliver held his hand out for Phoenix; she placed her smaller hand in to his larger, smooth hand and smiled at him. She knew this was when her life began, by marrying the man she loved.
'' Dear friends and family, we are gathered here today to witness and celebrate the union of Olive Andrew Wood and Phoenix Roxanna Malfoy in marriage. In the years they have been together, their love and understanding of each other has grown and matured, and now they have decided to live their lives together as husband and wife'', the priest said to the guests. '' Now bride and groom will take their vows".
'' I, Oliver Andrew Wood, take you Phoenix Roxanna Malfoy, to be my wife. To have and to hold from this day forward; for better or for worse; for richer, for poorer; in sickness and in health; to love and to cherish; from this day forward until death do us part ", he said to her, looking in her eyes.
'' I, Phoenix Roxanna Malfoy, take you Oliver Andrew Wood, to be my husband. To have and to hold from this day forward; for better or for worse; for richer, for poorer; in sickness and in health; to love and to cherish; from this day forward until death do us part'', she said to him, smiling at him.
'' Now we have the exchange of the rings'', the priest said, holding a small cushion that had couple's rings on.
"Phoenix Roxanna Malfoy, I give you this ring as a symbol of my love. As it encircles your finger, may it remind you always that you are surrounded by my enduring love '', Oliver said, taking the ring that he had chosen for her, taking her hand and placing the ring on her finger.
"Oliver Andrew Wood, I give you this ring as a symbol of my love. As it encircles your finger, may it remind you always that you are surrounded by my enduring love'', Phoenix said, taking the ring off the cushion and placing it on Oliver's finger.
''By the power vested in me by Merlin, I now pronounce you husband and wife. Oliver, you may kiss your bride''. The priest told Oliver and that is what he did, kissed Phoenix on the mouth. The priest started talking again.
"Family and Friends I present to you for the first time Oliver and Phoenix Wood'', the priest said. Everyone was cheered loudly for the newly married couple.
The couple headed over to their friends and family who congratulated them, giving them kisses and hugs. They all wished them luck for their new life. They soon left the little church and headed to a little restaurant
that only they knew about. They had booked at so no one apart from those eleven would know about. They all changed into more comfortable outfits before they headed inside. Once they entered, they were shown to their table and they all sat down at it chatting happily to each other. Phoenix and Oliver were in the middle with Kaylee Flint, who had been Phoenix's best friend since their first year at Hogwarts. Despite being in rival houses, they got on like sisters. Kaylee had mid-length black curls; her eyes were a vibrant blue and she had soft coloured skin with a few freckles. The dress she was wearing was a light blue, one shoulder lace dress. On Kaylee was on her right and the twins were on Oliver's left. Everyone else was arranged around the table. They had a great evening meal, fit for a wedding. They had all shared laughs and happy times during the course of the meal. Soon the day turned into night and everyone started to leave to their respected homes. Before Kaylee left, she warned Oliver that if he didn't look after Phoenix then she would be paying him a visit. She knew of good places where she could hide a body and nobody would ever find it. Soon it was just the newly married couple and they took their time before getting up.
'' Well, Mrs. Wood shall retire to our home for the night'', Oliver said, getting up from seat and holding out his hand for Phoenix to take.
Phoenix smiled at her husband before taking his hand and moving round so that she could get out. Once out, she walked in front of him and kissed him gently on the lips. She put her own jacket on so when she stepped outside she would warm up and stop the chill from going through her. She then turned to Oliver and did his jacket up as well.
'' Let's go home'', Phoenix said, keeping her hand in his.
They made their way out of the restaurant and stood under shelter of the door. They stood watching the snow float around in the air almost like it was dancing, before it hit the floor. Phoenix shivered from the coldness that was drawing round them. Oliver placed his arm around her shoulder, trying to give her that little bit more heat.
'' I think home would be a good now, stopping you from getting a cold'', He told her, before placing a kiss on her forehead and apparating home.
Later on that night, when both Oliver and Phoenix were in bed after an exhausting day, Phoenix lay over the sleeping Oliver's chest, with his arms round her waist. Phoenix couldn't stop thinking how lucky she was to have the man of her dreams. But she knew soon that they would both be fighting against Voldemort and his army of Death Eaters. Phoenix would be fighting against family but she would be standing with her new family and friends. With everything going round in her mind, she couldn't sleep. She closed her eyes and snuggled closer to Oliver in an attempt to get to sleep.
'' Phoenix, either you go to sleep or tell me what's wrong'', a sleepy voice said her.
'' They are only thoughts on things, it nothing to worry about'', she told him, settling down.
'' Then why are you moving so much, if they are only thoughts?'', he said, tightening his grip on her, as if she might disappear.
'' They won't leave my mind and keep resurfacing every time I get rid of them'', she answered him, trying to hold back a yawn but failed.
'' Well it seems that your body is telling you to sleep and I don't want a wife that's exhausted already. You're going to need your energy for the next few days'', he said, stoking her hair. "I'm off for the next week and I get you all you myself'', he told her, closing his eyes.
'' You naughty man, that's why I love you'', Phoenix said, cuddling up to him, before closing her eyes.
'' Love you too, my firebird, now go to sleep'', he told her as he pulled the covers over them. Soon they were both asleep, content in each other arms.
Hoped you enjoy it, still writing the next one, but it should be done soon. R&R.
