Harry awoke the next day with shouting and running footsteps. Alarmed, he sat up in bed. Then he remembered. This was not an attack by Lord Voldemort. It was a wedding. Mrs. Weasley ran into the room.

"Oh, good boy Harry, you're awake. I need some help with the tablecloths outside. Of course, no help from her side of the family. We have to—" she glanced behind her nervously.

"Anyway, Harry, go and grab some breakfast and go help Ron, Hermione, and Ginny outside, please."

"Er...sure Mrs. Weasley..." Harry said groggily. He got up and got dressed fast.

He walked down the stairs, grabbed a piece of already buttered toast and rushed out the door into the backyard.

"Harry!" He heard someone shout and turned around to see Hermione waving at him. He walked over.

"'Morning" Harry said, still in a sleepy voice.

"You and Ron can go do that side and me and Ginny will do this side." Hermione said.

It seemed to take forever to do those tables. After they were done with that, they had to set them also.

"Don't you have waiters for this?" Harry asked

"No, they only come for the actual wedding. Sorry mate."

When they were finally done, it was lunch time. They walked in, feet aching, and slumped into the chairs in the kitchen.

Mrs. Weasley arrived in the kitchen, eyed all of them, seemed to think they had worked hard enough to deserve a suitable lunch, and then went right to work in the kitchen. Moments later, they had a full lunch in front of them and they took their time eating it.

"Alright you lot, its time to get ready. I want everyone to work hard on his or her appearances today, as it is as it is a very important day. Alright?" She said and then rushed upstairs.

Harry and Ron walked into their room. Harry picked up his dress robe and examined it.

"Oh, my robe is in Bill's room. I'll be in there if you need me." Ron said.

"Okay, see you."

Harry sat on the bed and stretched. He had worked so hard all day and was so tired...

The next thing he knew he was being shaken awake. He opened his eyes slowly.

"Harry! I've been looking everywhere for you! The wedding reception starts in 5 minutes!" It was Ginny.

"Oh no, I'm so sorry, I'll be right down!" Harry picked up his dress robe and at the same time ran a comb through his hair. To his surprise, he heard Ginny giggle. He turned around, and she turned around and said, "You better hurry," And walked out.

The wedding reception was fine. The only part that bothered Harry was the walking down part. It was so awkward, but he got through it. He was sitting alone on his table because Ron and Hermione had gone of somewhere again (to the broom closet, no doubt). It looked as if the wedding was over and he had told almost everyone who had asked that he and Ginny were not a couple. He got up and saw Ginny sitting by herself in a nearby table. He made his way toward her in spite of himself.

"Hi"

"Hi Harry"

"Did you like the wedding?"

"It was ok, I expected something much worse to happen." She smiled

Harry laughed.

"Do you, er, wanna take a walk?" He asked.

"Um, yeah, alright, sure." She said uncertainly.

They walked out of the backyard and stopped at a tree at a nearby lake. They were facing each other now. The full moons light shined down on them. He suddenly felt weak in the knees, as though he was floating. He looked her in the eyes. Thoughts were no longer connected to actions. He leaned forward and kissed her.

Ginny placed her arms around his neck and he put his arms around her waist. His breath became deep and every time he realized what he was doing, those thoughts would be replaced by what he was doing right then and there.

When they finally broke apart, Ginny was looking at him.

"wow, what—what did we just do?"

"Well, when a girl and a boy really like eachother.."

He laughed. "No—I mean. Ginny, you can't tell anyone about this. If you want to be together, you have to maintain absolute secrecy about this."

She nodded. "Anything for you."
