Disclaimer: I do not own anything but my own ideas for the story line, the Harry Potter creator is the great JK Rowling. I have her to thank for the wonderful stories and characters she's created.
Thanks so much for the reviews! I'm glad you all are enjoying the story! I'm enjoying writing it!
Chapter 6: Tsunamis
Chaos. Utter Chaos. The Burrow was full of redheads. Hermione had never seen so many Weasleys and Prewetts together at one time. Way more people than at Bill and Fleur's wedding. Fred, George and Hermione were being pestered and hugged and screamed at. Some were angry at Hermione and George for keeping it a secret. Some thought Fred had played it as a joke and were furious with him, some were so happy they cried and others hadn't heard of Fred's death they were just there in support of other members of the family.
Hermione finally had a moment to herself, Molly had just run off one of her crazy aunts who was yelling at Hermione for keeping this 'all to herself'.
"You know I'm not mad at you dear, you brought my son back to me. I will forever be grateful and in your debt." Molly said sitting next to Hermione, "I see the way he looks at you, and you at him. Don't worry about what anyone else thinks. You have each other that's all you need." She finished grabbing Hermione's hand and giving her a little hug.
"And George." Hermione said with a laugh and tears in her eyes.
"Yes, I don't think you'll ever get rid of him!" Molly said laughing, "Now go, enjoy your love, I'm going to start lunch! The bottomless pits should be hungry soon!" She said standing patting Hermione on her knee and walked to the house.
Hermione just sat there, eyes closed, focusing on her breathing.
Alone. Finally alone. Who knew it would be this exhausting! Hermione finally opened her eyes, only to see two beautiful caramel colored saucers staring back at her.
"Hello love, finally got away I see?" Fred said with a smile and twinkle of mischief in his eyes.
"I just….I needed a bit…" Hermione was stumbling with her words now, she couldn't lie to Fred, he had such a way with her.
"Okay I hate some of your family..." Hermione mumbled in defeat. Fred plopped next to her and pulled her into his lap. He made sure her legs were wrapped firmly around his waist and pulled her in close, sticking his face into her wild curls, inhaling her addicting scent.
"I love you Hermione Jean. Don't you ever forget that." He whispered in her ear, then pulled back to look into her face. It was covered in different emotions. He could see sadness, happy, relief but something else… Apprehension? He thought.
"What are you worried about love?" Fred asked, palming her cheek in his hand.
"What if, they are so… So…" Hermione couldn't find the right word.
"Pig headed?" Fred laughed.
"YES!" Hermione said exhaustedly, "What if they are so hung up on this, so angry at me that they won't want to celebrate our union?" Hermione said searching Fred's face for the answer.
"Do that matter?" Fred asked plainly.
DOES IT MATTER?! Hermione thought, she sat there looking into his eyes and all she saw was love and contentment. No I suppose it doesn't. She said to herself and let out a breath she didn't know she was holding.
"There's my girl, let it go! Who cares what these dingbats think! The only people that really matter are you," Fred said poking her nose, "and me, and well Georgie of course, but I'm sure he has no issues… Right Gred?!" Fred holler across the yard.
"Right Forge! We love you 'Mione, that'll never change!" George holler back a bit louder so that everyone could hear him.
All eyes were on the couple at this moment, a few glasses and plates tinkered to the ground, but other than that it was completely silent.
Fred took this moment to stand, setting the witch down next to him and as he used an amplifying charm to raise his voice to address the crowd.
"Thank you all for coming, this is our 21st birthday and there wasn't a chance in Merlin's pants I'd let this lunatic celebrate it without me!" Fred said beaming at his twin, "On the other hand we've reserved this day for something extra special."
Fred grabbed Hermione's hand, spun her around one good time causing her dress to magically shift from the canary yellow sweater dress to the Wedding dress George had bought for her. The entire crowd gasped as they noticed all the decorations and scenery changed around them. The twins were really ingenious with this plan. As Fred and Hermione stood there at the top of the crowd dressed in their wedding attire.
"I Frederick Gideon Weasley will be MARRYING Hermione Jean Granger." Fred said never looking at Hermione, he was staring down the crowd, silently threatening them to oppose to this.
"And if all of you lot have anything other than congratulations to say to this couple, get the hell off my lawn!" Said a booming voice from the back of the crowd. The people separated to get a better look at the man yelling at them. Arthur Weasley approached with his wife on his arm, both dressed in appropriate wedding attire. Molly a peachy long dress and Arthur a dark maroon suit, mirroring George's that he was now sporting.
The crowd erupted in more chaos. They were transfiguring items into chairs to create aisles. Fred turned away from Hermione still holding her hand, but never looking at her.
"Now love, could you go to the end of the aisle so that I could see my bride coming to me? Like the muggles do?" Fred said, Hermione couldn't help but laugh. She gave his hand a quick peck and darted towards the end of the crowd, where Ginny and Harry stood there waiting for her.
They both took her by the arms, Ginny handing her a small bundle of Gardenias. The trio was about to take a step when Ron came running onto the scene. Hermione braced herself for this to become another blow out, or any sort of yelling that might occur. But nothing happened.
Ron crossed and whispered something into Ginny's ear, Ginny's smile widened and she let go of Hermione's arm, allowing Ron to take her place.
"Can't have my best friend marry without me there to walk her down the aisle now can we?" He said to her so that Harry could hear as well.
Hermione almost lost it, she had her best friend's back. That's all she ever wanted, well and to marry Fred of course. Harry gave her arm a good squeeze and they began their ascent up the aisle to meet Fred.
Fred on the other hand had lost it, mouth ajar, gaping at Hermione. It took all he had to not look at her when he changed her into her wedding dress. She said she didn't want him to look at her until she was walking to him… Well here she was walking, no gliding to him!
"Bollocks!" Fred said, loud enough for the first couple of rows to here and at this point Hermione could hear it too. She and everyone else was snickering at his comment.
When Hermione reached Fred she had to snap her fingers in front of his face to get him out of the trance he was in.
"Fred… Freeed? FRED!" Hermione snapped, and he was back, beaming into her eyes.
"I'd like to get married if you don't mind…" She said sweetly, batting her eyes at him.
"Oh right! Do we kiss now?" Fred asked as he leaned in a bit.
"No!" Hermione said slapping his chest with her flowers, "We have to be bonded first!"
The crowd was laughing now at the couple. They really are soulmates, the thought crossed everyone's mind as they saw this.
The next surprise was who was marrying them. Out stepped another redhead, Percy. Being a ministry official he could oversee and do the ceremony himself.
It wasn't long, they said they're words they were required to say much like the muggle vows. "Love, cherish in sickness and health til death do us part."
But the last bit had everyone's hair on end. Only few people are able to find their true soulmate, and in this case the couple's bond was so powerful and pure a small earthquake took place. You could taste the magic in the air as they linked arms and Percy drew the unbreakable infinity loop around them.
A bright orange band joined an equally bright purple band of light, circling the couple's arms forever linking their magic.
Fred was practically bouncing, he knew what came next.
"Fred?" Percy asked, Fred turned to look at his brother.
"Yeah Perc?" Fred asked, literally bouncing on his tip toes.
"She's your wife." Percy said as a matter-of-factly.
"So that means?" Fred asked, eyes widening.
"It means I get to do this!" Hermione said grabbing his collar and pulling his lips onto hers.
The electricity that raced through their bodies had their hairs standing on edge. As the continued to kiss it was as if they were flying.
And to the crowd's amusement, they were. Their magic was so powerful together, they were levitating off the ground about a foot. When they stopped the kiss they gracefully landed and took hands to look upon the crowd. Everyone was in an uproar.
"Best Wedding ever!" Someone said.
"They truly are soulmates" Another voice cried out.
And more cries of congratulations rang out from the crowd. George couldn't help but chuckle as he sat back and watched his brother and twin-in-law make their way back down the aisle to greet and hug the family.
"What are you giggling at?" Harry asked George, Percy and Ron were curious as well.
"If that's what happened when they married… Imagine the natural disaster they'll create tonight!" George laughed as he saw the looks of horror on their faces.
"He's right you know," came a small airy voice walking towards them opposite of the crowd.
Luna and Ginny had made their way through the chaos towards Harry, Ron, George and Percy.
"I was told that when my parents married they created a tsunami along the Philippine coast. They were soulmates, much like Fred and Hermione." She said grabbing Ron's arms, looking dreamily into his eyes.
"Wait. What?!" Ginny spat out looking at her brother and the blonde arm in arm.
