Disclaimer: I don't own anything. Not a thing! It all belongs to J.K.Rowling. I think I will take credit for Kerensa and Seraphine but that's it. I don't even own the plot (to a certain extent)! That belongs to the makers of Hum tum, Kunal Kohli and Siddharth Anand and Yash Raj, I believe. And the dresses belong to Vera Wang.

A/n: Hey everyone! Anyway. Well here's the next instalment or chapter, whatever you prefer, it's here. I loved writing this one so any reviews for this chapter would be very much appreciated! By the way pictures of the dresses are on my profile page.

2 years later: London

Harry appeared at the door of 31 Cordelia Close. He looked up at the building before him.

It looked like an 18th century house. Larger than average, but it wasn't exactly a manor either. All in all, it was a becoming place. He grasped the majestic lion's head knocker and knocked three times.

The door swung open and two faces smiled at him.

'Harry!' Kerensa cried happily and flung her arms around him.

The man laughed and hugged her back. Seraphine smiled at him and once he'd detached himself from Kerensa, he smiled back.

'Seems I got here alright' he said simply.

'Seems you did' Seraphine replied casually.

Over the course of the past two years, Harry had kept in touch with the girls.

Somewhere along the way, he had broken through the surface of Seraphine and managed to become friends with her. But, friendship with Seraphine Bonheur was a strange thing.

Harry took in his surroundings. The place was infested with females.

His eyebrows rose 'not that I mind, but any reason you wanted me to come here?' he asked.

Seraphine shrugged her shoulders passively 'we're staying here, just wanted to say hi. Introduce you to the bride and such, it's her house' Harry nodded.

'Kerensa! Seraphine!' cried a harried voice…a very familiar harried voice. The call came from beyond a set of white double doors.

'Is that-?' he trailed off, trying to get a look.

'Hermione, yes' Kerensa filled in. 'We'll be back in a sec, don't move' the two walked away and disappeared behind the double doors.

Now he was definitely confused.

Harry stood in the centre of the entrance hall, observing the girls as they ran past. Some were relaxed and others were far more tense. A familiar sound rang in his ears.

Someone thundering down a flight of stairs.

It was distinctive. Loud and attention-grabbing but quick as a flash. He'd only ever known one person to descend stairs like that. He looked up to see if he was right.

A flustered red head rushed past and headed towards the double doors. Harry called out before she too, disappeared behind the doors.

'Ginny?'

The figure froze and whipped her head around to find the face belonging to that voice. A face she hadn't seen in person for two years, much less heard the voice that went with it.

'Harry Potter' she said out loud, as if stating a fact. 'What are you doing here?' Ginny asked in an irritated tone of voice.

Harry looked at the woman before him carefully before answering.

She looked beautiful, obviously older than when he last saw her.

Her eyes seemed darker than he remembered them but that might have been the light. Her face had lost some of its freckles and her fiery red hair now tumbled past her shoulders, to the middle of her back, ending in curls.

Ginny Weasley had grown up.

'I'm here to be Seraphine's date to some wedding. I was about to ask you the same thing'

'What do you mean you were about to-' but realisation dawned on her, mid-sentence 'oooohhhh, I get it. You've come to a wedding and you don't even know who's getting married?' she asked.

Harry shrugged 'I'm supposed to be meeting the bride sometime soon' he glanced at his watch while Ginny grinned.

'Want me to introduce you?' she offered.

He looked surprised 'sure, it'd save me time. Where is she?' he asked, looking around.

'Let's just say, this is my house' Ginny said suggestively. Harry frowned.

'But Ginny, if this was your-no! No way! You?' he asked, Harry's eyes reflected curiosity.

She smiled smugly and nodded. Harry's eyebrows shot up once again.

'Uh, well, congratulations!' he laughed

'Thank you' Ginny replied curtly, Her eyes caught on a dress box that needed delivering to the Burrow.

'Take that box to my mum' she ordered.

Harry stared the girl 'what? Do I look like your servant or something?' he asked rhetorically.

'Mmmmm, something like that' Ginny replied.

She picked up the box, shoved it into Harry's hands and patted him on the shoulder. 'Be a dear' she smiled sweetly and sauntered away towards the double doors.

Harry stood in the centre of the entrance hall, with his eyes narrowed at the abominable double doors. They opened a crack and two figures came towards him.

'So you met the bride, we hear' Seraphine said amusedly, Harry turned on her.

'Ginny? You wanted me to be your date to Ginny's wedding? Of all the weddings in the world' he muttered. Seraphine and Kerensa exchanged glances.

'Don't be like that. You know you would've regretted it, if you weren't here for her wedding' Kerensa said fairly.

'Well I wasn't invited so…' Harry said moodily.

'She only didn't invite you because of that stupid fight you two had. I know that if at the end of the day, you weren't here, Ginny would regret it too, for all she pretends to be so livid that you're in her house' Kerensa said.

'I'd be glad to leave, if that's what she wants!' Harry exclaimed angrily, leaving Kerensa taken aback. Seraphine was starting to get angry too.

'That's enough! Both you and Ginny are acting like children! You are adults, act it. That fight you had is neither here nor there and furthermore it happened ages ago and if you two knew any better, you would let it go. The Weasleys Harry, are the closest thing you have to family' Seraphine paused for a breath.

Kerensa tentatively raised a hand to stop her friend but decided not to risk it.

'That makes Ginny the closest thing you have to a sister, whether you like it or not! You are not going to leave! You are to be my date to this wedding and you will attend and you will put aside your differences with Ginny by the time you leave this house for the last time.

'Both of you need to get over it!' Seraphine shouted, and stormed off behind the double doors, leaving Harry in a daze.

Kerensa bit her lip and her gaze fell downwards.

Harry took a moment to snap back to the present and then he gazed at Kerensa questioningly. 'And what do you think' he asked of her.

'I think she's right although you know I wouldn't quite have put it like that but-' she said sheepishly.

Harry nodded and took a deep breath and didn't say anything. After a few seconds, Kerensa started up again in her sheepish tones.

'Harry?' he looked at her 'it's-it's just that, that box really does need delivering' she hinted.

He growled and disapparated within a second.

He reappeared at the Burrow less than a moment later. He was in the kitchen and saw Ron and Mrs. Weasley talking at the table.

'Alright mum, I'll arrange for another car to be sent there' Ron said and rose.

Harry cleared his throat and the two Weasleys looked surprised.

'Harry! What are you doing here?' Ron asked nervously. Harry rolled his emerald green eyes.

'I know about Ginny's wedding, Seraphine invited me' he said casually, putting Ron at ease.

Mrs. Weasley sighed in relief. Harry turned to her 'Hey Mrs. Weasley, this is for you' he handed the box to her. He then faced his best friend.

'I'm a bit annoyed' Harry said.

'You are?' Ron asked.

'Yeah, couldn't have thought to tell me, could you?'

'Uh, well she didn't end up inviting you and it' not like you two were on the best of terms. We thought it'd be best if you, sort of just, didn't know' Ron finished lamely.

'It doesn't matter. She's still a Weasley and she's Ginny! I would've at least liked to know, even if I wasn't invited' Harry said indignantly, making Ron look slightly guilty.

Mrs. Weasley turned to look at them from her position at the stove; she had an apologetic expression on her face.

'We're sorry Harry dear. You're absolutely right, you should've known. You're just as much a part of this family as the rest of us' she said kindly.

Harry looked at her and then to Ron.

'Thank you' he said quietly and then coughed awkwardly. 'So uh, since I'm here. Need help with anything?' Harry said

'Uh I don't know, Ginny's calling all the shots on this one. Ask her' Ron said,

Harry glanced at a picture on the windowsill, it was of Ron and Hermione and he smacked his forehead.

'Hermione! I forgot-'

'-To say hello to her?' Ron filled in, amusedly. 'If she finds out you left without saying hi, she'll get all upset and sentimental'

Harry laughed fondly and said to himself 'don't I know it' then to Ron he said 'alright listen mate, I'm going to back to Ginny's, I'll say hi to Hermione and see if anything needs doing'

'Alright see you later then' Ron replied

'Bye Mrs. Weasley' Harry called

'Take care Harry and be back in time for dinner!' she ordered, Harry laughed and disapparated.

He reappeared again in the entrance hall of 31 Cordelia Close. He saw three familiar girls coming down the staircase.

'Where is he Kerensa? Ginny said he'd been here' he saw Hermione say to a pale faced girl.

He cleared his throat and called 'Hermione!' the bushy haired girl beamed and bounded down to meet him.

'Where were you?' she said and hugged him. His eyes sparkled as he hugged her back.

'Where was I? What do you mean, I was right here the whole time' he said smoothly, winking at Seraphine and Kerensa, the latter of whom grinned back.

Ginny had joined them too and he saw her roll her eyes.

Hermione pulled back and said 'you should've come to see me! I haven't seen you for like a month!' she cried.

Harry smiled again and said 'and whose fault is that?'

Hermione sighed 'you're right, I'm the one who's had a busy month, But now you know why' she said brightly in an "all's well that ends well" tone.

Harry threw a swift glance at Ginny and their eyes met for a millisecond.

'Yes now I do know why' he said.

'Okay listen I have to go back in but I'll see you later?' Hermione said

'Yeah I'm having dinner with the Weasleys tonight' he said

'Excellent' and with that Ginny grabbed Hermione's arm and disappeared off through a door which Harry suspected was the kitchen.

Once again he was left with Kerensa and Seraphine.

'Hey I came here to help you out. What can I do?' he asked.

Seraphine shrugged and said 'nothing at the minute but stick around, we'll find something for you'

'I think we just did' Kerensa said as she spotted a tall figure coming through the front door.

She then looked at Harry 'we need to go but behind you is Evan Carlisle, Ginny's fiancé. He's not allowed to see Ginny, so distract him and then send him home' Kerensa said but Harry was confused.

'Why can't he see Ginny? The wedding is the day after tomorrow' he said

'Mrs. Weasley and Hermione reckon that if he doesn't see her for a couple of days, the actual "big day" will be more special. Which makes no sense because they have to see each other tomorrow at the rehearsal but they get stressed about it so we let them have their way' Kerensa explained, Harry nodded understandingly.

'But doesn't Ginny get annoyed?' Harry said

'Not really. She finds the situation quite funny. Right we're off. He's coming' Seraphine said and then she and Kerensa hurried off in the same direction as Ginny and Hermione had.

Harry turned around and saw a tall man of athletic build. He had longish dark brown, curly hair and blue-grey eyes. He walked up to the man and held out his hand.

They shook hands and the man eyed him curiously before searching the place again.

'Hi, have you seen Ginny? Is she here?' the man asked.

Harry thought fast 'no! Ginny is not here' stalling had never been Harry's strong point; he'd always left that job to Ron and Hermione. The man was looking at him strangely again.

'So where is she?' he asked

'She's with Mrs. Weasley, they're buying….fish' Harry said the first thing that came into his head and inwardly cringed at his hearing the result.

Ginny's fiancé looked really puzzled now and Harry continued 'yep they're buying fish' he said and his gaze met with a nearby girl's who was having trouble keeping a straight face.

The man narrowed eyes.

'Fish?' he asked uncertainly

'That's what I said' Harry tried, wanting to kick himself.

'Why would they be buying fish? It's not on our menu, I don't think'

'Yeah you're right. It's not on the menu, you think. But uh- Ginny changed her mind, never under estimate the power of a little salmon, yeah now you're having fish' Harry finished lamely

'So she changed the menu? Without asking me and-' but Harry cut him off by shaking his hand once again and saying 'so you're Evan Carlisle' Evan nodded and his eyes flicked to Harry's forehead.

'And you would be Harry Potter' he said.

'That's my name'

'Nice to meet you. Heard a lot about you, the Weasleys talk about you all the time' Evan said conversationally.

'I've heard a lot about you too' Harry lied, lying was more his forte. Harry stared at the man critically before saying 'do I know you from somewhere?'

Evan shrugged 'you might have seen me around the ministry and I was in the year above you at Hogwarts'

Harry nodded 'that's where I've seen you, have I played you in a match?'

'Erm yeah I think so. I played on the Ravenclaw team for a year in my seventh, the year you were made captain. We only played once though I think. Can't quite remember' he said.

Harry nodded again 'I thought I'd played you. You'll have played Ginny as well then'

Evan smiled and said 'yeah' but she was going out with some other guy then, so I didn't take much notice'

'Yeah' Harry said thoughtfully.

'Hey, aren't you and Ginny not speaking or something?'

'Something like that'

'What happened? Whenever I ask, all I get is vague answers and dodging' Evan said.

Harry sighed 'well basically we had this huge argument in her sixth year, my seventh. The argument never got sorted, got way out of hand and we stopped talking for two years straight. Not much else to it than that'

Evan looked at his watch and said 'crap! I've gotta go. Er well, if you see Ginny, tell her I'll see her tomorrow and tell her I want to see her about the fish'

'The fish, right. Yep, definitely wouldn't forget that' Harry said with a straight face.

Evan held out his hand and said' well I'd best be off, have an appointment. It was nice meeting you. I'll see you tomorrow?'

'I didn't know I had to be at the rehearsal' Harry answered.

'Aren't you escorting Seraphine down the aisle?'

'I'm sorry, what?' Harry said in disbelief.

'Yeah'

'Aren't one of your friends supposed to do that' the raven haired man asked.

'Yeah but I've already asked Ron and my best friend, I have no one else particularly important who I want to ask. Seraphine said I'd like you and plus she's kind of-'

'Scary?' Harry suggested with a grin.

'That's one way to put it'

'Right, well you'd better go. I'll see you tomorrow then' Harry said and watched Evan disapparate.

Harry turned and made his way to the kitchen where Ginny, Hermione, Kerensa and Seraphine stood with a few other girls.

He marched up to Seraphine, who was icing some cupcakes with her wand.

'I'm escorting you down the aisle?' he asked incredulously

'Did I forget to mention that?' Seraphine asked off-handedly, keeping her concentration on the cupcakes.

'Uh kind of' Harry retorted

'Oh' she said dryly.

Harry shook his head and saw Ginny come over to them.

'Seraphine, when you're done, will you confirm things with the caterers? Here let me help you with those' and she too whipped out her wand and began icing the cakes.

'So I just talked to your fiancé, Evan' Harry started.

'I see' was all he got.

'Nice guy'

'I know'

Listen, if he asks you about fish, just say you're sticking to the original menu' both girls looked up at him.

'Why would he ask me about fish?' Ginny asked suspiciously.

'Well, he was looking for you and I told him you were out…buying fish…for the wedding' Harry explained.

Seraphine's electric blue eyes sparkled with amusement and Ginny's chocolate brown eyes danced and the corners of her mouth twitched but she didn't smile.

'I don't know how to stall well! That was never my job' Harry continued.

'It was Ron and Hermione's' Ginny finished off quietly. Harry nodded' exactly' he said.


The following day at about half past seven in the evening, Ginny Weasley could be found racking through her drawers, desperately searching for floo powder.

'Where is it? Oh God!' Ginny muttered. There was no one else around and she needed to get to the church for the rehearsal. 'Help me!' she cried.

'What's the matter' she heard a voice say.

She turned around to face Harry. 'I need to get to the church and there isn't any floo powder and the portkey's already been taken she said frustratedly.

'Yeah, your mum took the last of the floo powder, she said she'd run out' Harry informed her.

Ginny's eyes widened and then donned a questioning look 'wait, why aren't you at the church?' she asked.

'I was going to apparate' Harry replied simply.

She rolled her eyes 'you idiot! You can't apparate! Dad picked the church and of course he got one in a place that is like muggle encrusted' she cried.

Realisation dawned on Harry's face.

'Ooooh! No wonder. I wondered why no one was apparating' Harry said to himself and got a glare from Ginny in return. The girl sank into the nearest armchair.

'Why! Why did I let dad pick the church?' Ginny whined.

'Because as of tomorrow, he'll have to step down from his position as the most important man in your life and you wanted him to feel special by letting him make a big decision for you, for what might be the last time' Harry said.

It may have been two years but he still had Ginny sussed.

Ginny looked up at him and their eyes met. They held each other's gaze for a moment.

It was like a silent truce was passing between them.

'You're right' Ginny said.

'I know' she smiled a little and then ran a hand through her hair. 'I need to get to that church' she said.

Harry shrugged 'so we'll take a cab. We're in London, aren't we?' but she made a face. 'I hate cabs!' she groaned.

'If you've got another idea, I'd be glad to hear it' he said lazily.

Ginny folded her arms and sighed 'fine'

They exited the house and walked out onto the main road. Harry flagged down a cab. Ginny told the driver the address and then they climbed into the back.

Once the cab got going, Harry turned to Ginny 'So.' he said

'So'

'So tell me…tell me about Evan, how d'you meet? I mean I'm still shocked. Little Ginny getting married'

'He works with Gringotts' Ginny started 'he was put under Bill's charge as a junior. Bill brought him round to dinner a couple of times, the summer of my sixth year.

'Mum adored him so, naturally, he became a regular, he doesn't have family of his own. He'd help me with my homework and stuff and he was only two years older'

'Where was I?' Harry asked.

'Well you were moving out of your aunt and uncle's and into your own place so you were busy and I was avoiding you'

'Right, well go on'

'After a while I started to really like him. He was kind and funny and smart and fair. He was friendly and helpful and willing to lend an ear. And he just seemed like such a family guy. And I just loved that about him.

'Anyway then school started and I didn't see him. But then one day, I bumped into him while I was out shopping with Hermione at Christmas and he asked me out, I said yes and that's basically it'

'So when did he propose to you?' Harry asked, enjoying talking to Ginny again.

'Um about six months ago, in November'

'Why didn't you move in together?' he enquired.

'I promised Kerensa and Seraphine, we'd live together until one of us got married. It's my house but they stay with me, so does Hermione'

'Hermione lives with you? Since when?' Harry asked.

'Since six months, didn't you know that she moved?'

'Well I haven't seen her all that much lately; her schedule's really hard on her. I knew she was looking for a place, I didn't know she'd found one'

'Technically she hasn't, it's just temporary, the people who bought her place needed to move in and I had a spare room so…But now I'll be living with Evan'

'That's great. I know we weren't exactly on the best of terms when I said it the first time, but I'm really happy for you. If anyone deserves it, you do' Harry said earnestly.

'Harry, you don't mean that. After all the crap I gave you' Ginny said.

'It's not like I was trying to be your best friend either. I was angry but it didn't make you any less special. You were still a Weasley and still part of my imaginary family'

'Thank you. So what about you? Found that special girl you were always looking for?' Ginny asked.

Harry laughed a little and shook his head.

'Nah, I put that search on hiatus two years ago. I'm still having fun playing the field' he said.

The bride to be frowned 'Harry!' she said disapprovingly.

'What?'

'How old are you now?' she asked.

'Almost twenty' Harry answered.

'Right. And you've started your Auror Training right?'

'Right'

'Harry you should really start thinking about settling down. It won't be easy to find someone who'll be able to fit the position of an auror's wife. You have a hectic schedule and a lot of single women my age, are only concerned with themselves. You should start trying to find women who are really special, who stand out from the crowd' Ginny advised.

'But in Hogwarts you told me-' Harry started.

'Yes Harry, in Hogwarts. How many aurors do you know that have actually married?'

'Off the top of my head? Two'

'Exactly. If I were you, I'd start looking now'

'I guess' Harry said thoughtfully.

'You want a family, don't you?'

'Of course'

'Well then' Ginny said matter-of-factly.

Harry gave it a moment's thought. Could Ginny be right? Was it practical to star searching? How many women would be selfless enough to marry an auror?

All immediate signs pointed to Ginny being right.

'Maybe you're right. Maybe I should start looking' he said quietly.

'You'll thank me…oh look we're here!' Ginny cried. They got out of the cab, paid the cabbie and ran into the church to assume their positions as quickly as possible.


The Day had arrived. They day which joined Ginny Weasley to Evan Carlisle was upon them and red was everywhere.

Red hair could be seen running down the stairs, through the doors, around the back, everywhere.

Ginny was sat in a room in her wedding dress. It was a beautiful square neck dress of sheath with satin, an obi empire bust with a rouched split-skirt and a ruffle hem.

Her bridesmaids (Hermione, Kerensa and Seraphine) wore cerulean, bobinette goddess gowns with sqaure necklines, empire waists and fantastic detailing at the back.

Ginny was fiddling with her engagement ring, fiddling with her hair, fiddling with the make-up laid out in front of her, basically she was fiddling.

'Ginny stop fiddling with your hair, you'll ruin the look' Hermione said, lightly slapping Ginny's hand. The bride looked nervous.

'Everything will be alright, won't it?'

Kerensa put her arm around the nervous girl and stared at the reflection of the beautiful woman in the mirror.

'Ginny everything is going to be fantastic. You and Evan were made for each other' she said comfortingly and then looked at the tall girl behind her 'right Seraphine?' the addressed girl raised her eyebrows and wore a teasing smile.

'Right. You'll make demand after demand and he, being the soft soul that he is, will succumb to each and every one. Instead of being referred to as Mr. and Mrs. Evan Carlisle, you'll be Mr. and Mrs. Ginny Weasley and pretty soon you'll have spent all his money and you'll have to be living the dry life' she joked.

Ginny looked sharply at the blue eyed girl 'are you being sarcastic?' she asked, making the expression on Seraphine's face soften.

'Of course Ginny. You should know that. You two will get married and create beautiful, enviable children, who will be spoilt by love and riches. You'll be just fine darling' she said.

'You're right. I will be fine. I will be fine. Yes' Ginny whispered.

Hermione turned the girl to face her. 'Ginny Weasley, pull yourself together! You are marrying the type of guy you always dreamed about. Remember? Tall, dark and handsome…' she trailed off and Kerensa jumped in.

'With soft but mysterious eyes, not weedy but not muscly with longish hair that just fell in his eyes' she stopped and Seraphine took over.

'A great listener with a sensitive side. Kind and smart and caring. Level-headed, firm and decisive but hopelessly stubborn?' Seraphine finished, hoping to jog Ginny's memory.

Ginny sighed. She looked at her friends and smiled sadly. Her eyes began to mist.

'I'm going to miss having you guys around all the time' Ginny croaked. Kerensa, Seraphine and Hermione smiled sadly too.

'Who's going to correct me when I say something stupid?' Ginny said to Hermione 'and who's going to be standing in my doorway with a glass of cold water, the minute I wake up from a bad dream' she said to Kerensa 'and who's going to shout at me when I'm being stubborn or bratty' she said, staring at Seraphine.

Tears were flowing freely from Kerensa's eyes. 'Oh Ginny, don't. You've got me started now' Hermione said as her eyes began to well up too.

Seraphine's eyes were the only eyes that stayed dry. But they held a sorrowful look in them as she said quietly 'You won't need anyone to correct you because Evan will love you even more for all the stupid things you say.

'And you won't need someone to rush into your room with a glass of water because Evan will always be there, lying beside you.

'And you won't need someone to shout at you when you're being stubborn or bratty because Evan will always give in to you' she finished.

Ginny smiled through her tears and then all four girls formed a hug.

They stayed like that for a moment or so until they heard someone clear their throat. The girls looked up to see Ron and Bill standing in the doorway.

Ginny, Hermione and Kerensa wiped their tears and blinked furiously. Seraphine looked curious 'what are you two doing here?' she asked

'Came to talk to Ginny' Ron replied

'Who's with Evan?'

'Harry, Fred and George. Charlie's just checking on things'

'We'll go and see how Evan's doing' Kerensa said and she left with Hermione and Seraphine to leave the three Weasleys alone.

Bill stepped forward and smiled weakly 'just wanted to talk to you while you were still a Weasley' he said, staring at Ginny.

'God, look at you. You're getting married! Baby Ginny, the little one' but he stopped as Ginny hugged him hard.

He swallowed and said very quietly 'Look, I know I wasn't around a lot when you were younger. I was hardly ever around what with Hogwarts and Egypt and all but…but I love you'

Ginny looked up at her oldest brother and said' I love you too'

Bill nodded and smiled again 'I'm going to check on mum. I'll see you later, okay?'

Ginny nodded and watched him leave before turning to face Ron.

'I can't quite put it like Bill did' he started 'but…I know I haven't always been great. But it was only because you were always there' he paused to try and find the right words.

'I-I mean it was….it was always you and me, wasn't it? Bill and Charlie, Percy and no one, Fred and George, Ron and Ginny' he stopped again to think.

'And I know it was annoying when I stuck my nose in your business but I only did that because…because I didn't want-didn't want you to get hurt, I suppose' he mumbled.

'I know' Ginny whispered and stared at her brother and then said 'I love you too' before hugging him fiercely.

After staying like that for a moment, he left too. Ginny was completely alone now.

She dwelled on memories for a whole ten minutes before she heard a throaty voice, but it wasn't Seraphine's.

'Ginny?' Fleur. Ginny turned to see her beautiful sister in law behind her.

'Yes?'

'I 'ave been sent to get you. Ze music will start soon' Fleur said in her accented English.

Ginny nodded in response, picked up her bouquet and made to leave but Fleur stopped her.

'Ginny' she started.

'Yes?'

'I-I just wanted to say…I know zat we were never ze best of friends as Bill 'ad 'oped we would be, but I mean it when I say zat, you 'ave become like a seester to me…even if we still fight' Fleur finished and then Ginny did something unbelievable.

She hugged Fleur, taking the woman completely by surprise.

'Thank you. I don't know why you're being so nice to me. You've been married to Bill for just about three years and I've always been horrible to you, when you've being perfectly friendly. I'm sorry'

'Eet is okay. You look beautiful, by ze way. You 'ad better go, I 'ave to 'urry back also' Fleur said.

'Okay, well I'll see you later'

'You too' and Ginny watched her "urry" away, her sheet of silvery hair flying behind her. And then she quickly joined the line of people waiting at the door. They seemed to be waiting for her.

She took her place at the back ad linked arms with her father, who smiled at her sadly. The doors opened and the sequence began.

Harry watched Ginny walk up the aisle with Mr. Weasley from his position beside Ron. He noted how stunning she looked and yet again wondered at what he was about to witness.

Ginny and Harry's eyes met for a second, she smiled nervously while Harry smiled back reassuringly. Then she looked at Evan who couldn't take his eyes off of her.

Once they'd reached the altar Mr. Weasley stepped away and the bride and groom faced each other, just moments from beginning a whole new chapter of their lives, together.


The afternoon after Ginny and Evan's wedding day, Mr and Mrs. Carlisle could be found at Ginny's house just checking over everything, well Ginny was. Evan was stood to the side, admiring his wife.

'Amazing isn't she?' Evan voiced.

'She is special; Harry agreed. Evan turned to Harry and said 'so have you got anyone you're serious about?'

'Nah. Not even sure I want to settle down yet, considering it, though' Harry answered casually.

'You should. Believe me, I know. Testing the waters is fun but the right girl doesn't just sail right in front of you. You have to find her, and when you do, it's incredible. Ask Ron, Ask Bill, ask anyone' Evan advised but Harry merely shrugged his shoulders.

'Look I've tried before. But I mean, it's not easy'

'Don't worry, everyone finds the right person, if they can be bothered. When you find her, you'll know. Like when I met Ginny, I was just taken by her. Everything about her was, is just extraordinary. You need to find yourself a Ginny, mate' Evan suggested.

Harry laughed at his words but was stopped by a cry from Ginny herself.

'What! Please say you're joking' Ginny cried. They all crowded around and watched her converse with a head in the fire.

'Emma, you can't be telling me this now. I have to leave for Morocco in like two minutes'

'I know, I'm sorry but I don't what else to do' the face said guiltily.

'What's going on?' Evan asked calmly.

Ginny looked at him worriedly. 'My assistant manager, Anna's baby fell sick and she's just called in to take the day off' she explained.

'Have you given her it?'

'Of course, the baby's only nine months old, Anna's got to be there. But, without her at the shop, there's no one there to run it and I'm expecting a really important delivery' Ginny said.

'Can't someone else do it?'

'No, we're short-staffed as it is' she turned to Kerensa and Seraphine.

'Could you guys…' she trailed off.

'Ginny you know we would but we only got half the day off today. We have to be at work in twenty minutes otherwise I'd gladly take your place for you' Seraphine said, Ginny nodded.

'Hermione, Ron, dad, Bill, Fleur, Fred and George are at work, mum couldn't do it. Oh God, what am I going to do' she moaned. Evan put his arm around her comfortingly.

'Relax. Worse comes to worst, we'll postpone the trip' he said.

'Oh but you've booked a room and made reservations for dinner and everything' Ginny said regretfully.

'So I'll book another room and make other reservations. Your work and your boutique come first, Ginny. I know that'

Harry looked around at them all. 'I could do it' he offered.

Five heads turned to stare at him, well six if you counted the one in the fire.

'What?' Evan said.

'Kingsley's given me two weeks off, says he's got a string of assignments for me afterwards. So, I've got the day off and well, I could do it' Harry said again. Ginny's eyes widened with hope.

'Oh Harry, would you? Would you do that for me? On your day off?' she asked.

'Of course I would. Can't let you postpone your honeymoon, can we? I'm sure I'll manage' he said.

'Oh thank you, thank you, thank you. It's only for today. The instructions are on my desk, just follow them' Ginny said.

'No problem, now go!'

Evan picked up their suitcases and Ginny went to stand beside him. She shot Harry one last grateful glance.

Harry responded with a wink before watching Mr. and Mrs. Carlisle disappear before his very eyes.
