HEY GUYS! I'm so excited right now! I just made the cheerleading squad I wanted to, so I decided to update again. I also saw how many reviews I received, and I would just like to thank each of you for your reviews because I really do appreciate them! Well here's chapter 7 … do I hear wedding bells?

*HG pov*

Over the next two weeks I worked in the shop Monday, Wednesday, Friday. If I wasn't at work I was eating, breathing, sleeping, or planning the wedding.

It was Wednesday the 28th of July and the wedding was on Saturday. We had everything planned, and now it was just a matter of setting it all up. It was nice to be at work, at my usual spot, behind the cash register. It gave me a break from all of the hectic wedding plans, and strict schedules.

That's one thing I liked about Fred and George. They were always so laid back, and not all stressed out. I really like my job here. It gives me a lot of time to think, and … a lot of time with Fred. Nothing has happened between us since that eventful day in the dressing room, but ever since then my little crush on Fred has developed into something else.

It was time for closing, so I put the locking spell on the cash register and the twins did everything else. I was walking towards the fireplace to floo back to the Burrow when it hit me. I was the worst maid of honor EVER! Sure I had helped plan just about every detail for the wedding, BUT I forgot to buy them a wedding present!

I stopped suddenly and the twins ran into me. How could I not buy them a Wedding present! … Oh no, I can feel the tingling in my eyes … I'm going to cry … ugh not in front of the twins. They'll never let me forget about it.

"Mione what's wrong?" asked Fred looking concerned.

I just shook my head trying to get my tears under control, before they fell.

"Something's wrong, so why don't you tell us?" said George

Ughh they just don't understand, that if I talk … the tears are going to fall, and not stop. I took a deep breath to prepare myself to speak.

"I think she's cracked under the pressure of the wedding." Joked George

That did it. I started sobbing, and the tears fell.

"Look what you did!" yelled Fred at his twin as he wrapped his arms around me comfortingly. "Mione please tell us what's wrong. You're starting to worry me …"

"I … wwwell I forforgot tto bbuy Ginny aand Harrry a wweddingg prpresent!"

"Oh that's it?" said a relieved George, "I thought someone had died or something." Which made me cry harder.

"Ok George that's about ENOUGH of you, go home and tell mum there's still people at the shop and since we're not going to be open on Saturday we want to stay open for business. Make something up about how you need to test a new product and go up to our room. Now go before you do something else."

George gave Fred a sour look, but said "Aye Sir!" and with a solute he floo'ed home.

Then Fred turned and looked back down at me. "Now, as for you, no more crying because we have 3 whole days to find Harry and Ginny the perfect present."

I just nodded, not trusting myself to speak when those perfect blue eyes were looking at me when I was upset.

"So, let's go shopping!" he said as he grabbed me hand apparated us outside of the shop. "Sorry about that, but we had already put up the wards so I didn't want to have to take them down and put them back up just to walk out the front door."

I gave a small smile and said, "Lazy much?"

"Shocking I know. I've always been so dedicated with everything," he let go of my hand "… so uhh where do we go to buy the best wedding present of all time?"

I looked around and saw a store that looked like we could find something for them, so I pointed to it and we walked inside. I was surprised how much better Fred made me feel. Just being with him calmed me when I had been so upset.

We were walking around the cluttered store when I got an idea when I saw an empty picture frame.

"Fred …"

"Yes Mione?"

"I thought of an idea!"

"See! No need to worry I knew the smartest witch in her year would think of something fast … Are you going to share it, or just keep it to yourself."

"Well … the only thing is I don't think I can afford it on my own …" I said looking up at him.

"That isn't a problem. You know two entrepreneurs that would love to go in with you on a present."

I smiled "Thanks Fred you're the best!" and gave him a hug. I let go and walked towards the picture frames. "I thought since Harry and Ginny will soon move into Grimauld's Place they would need some paintings to replace some of the creepy paintings …"

"Those are empty frames?"

"I know Fred, but … what if we bought three empty frames, and then had an artist paint one of Harry and Ginny, one of Harry, Ron, and I, and then one of the whole Weasley family with Harry and I."

"Wow Mione, you really are the brightest person I know! They will love the gift, and it will be put to good use."

"Thanks…" I said blushing

So, we bought the picture frames, and Fred wouldn't let me pay at all. He said it wouldn't be fair since I came up with the idea, so he had to contribute somehow. So eventually we made our way out of the shop and headed home to the Burrow for dinner.

Over the next two days I didn't see much of Fred, or George either for that matter. Many red headed distant cousins were coming for the wedding, so the house was becoming more than just a little crowded.

Every free second was spent on preparing for the wedding. We picked up the cake (guarded it from Ron and the other hungry boys), made flower arrangements, put out the white folding chairs outside, set up the flowered arch, and many other small details.

The day of the wedding arrived and Ginny and I were in her room talking.

"Hermione … I was thinking last night when I was trying to fall asleep … and"

"You thinking?! That's new. Haha … just kidding, what were you thinking about?"

"Wow, Fred and George have rubbed off on you! But anyways, I was thinking that it was going to be the last time I slept in my bed, and the last night of me being a Weasley. I'm going to miss waking up and yelling at one of my brothers for leaving the toilet seat up. What if I can't handle being a Potter?!"

"Ginny, you don't need to worry at all. Being Harry's wife, and becoming a Potter won't change anything. Harry loves you Ginny … don't fret, and I bet you and Harry come and stay here a ton over holidays, and also when your mum makes you stay because she misses you. You also know that you will always be a Weasley and have your beautiful red hair to prove it." I told her reassuringly. "Plus," I added jokingly. "You can yell at your brothers any time, it is your job as their baby sister to keep them in line."

"Thanks Hermione, that helped me a lot. It's just that a lot of people don't think I'm good enough for the famous Harry Potter … like his fans and stuff. Sometimes, even if I try not to show it, it makes me a little self-conscious …"

I knew Ginny never let this bother her and the only reason it was today, was because it was her wedding day. Everyone is allowed to be nervous on their wedding day, no matter how much they love their future spouse.

"So how do you want me to style your hair?" she asked changing the subject.

Soon all of the bride's maids were in Ginny's room getting ready. The room and been magically enlarged, the bed shrunk, and extra mirrors and been brought in. We all got our dresses on and then decided to all wear an up-do with curls.

Ginny got ready next. Mrs. Weasley put her hair in a half up half down curly sort of hairstyle. She then put the family tiara on the crown of her head. Ginny got into her wedding dress and Mrs. Weasley couldn't control her crying.

"My Baby! … so beautiful …" she cried

I have to admit she did look beyond beautiful … I was so happy for her. The wedding was going to be perfect.

The next thing we knew Mr. Weasley was in the room telling us that everyone else was ready. We got in our line, and Mrs. Weasley was forced to leave and go sit in the chairs outside. The order went, Gabriella (she wanted to be first), Natasha (who was starting to show in her tight dress.) Penelope, Luna, Liliah, Fluer, (so she was close to Victoire), me, Teddy, Victorie, and then Ginny and Mr. Weasley.

We made our way down to the kitchen talking quietly, but when we got there we fell into silence. The music started outside and Gabriella started off the slow procession.

I looked back towards Ginny and gave her a reassuring smile. She smiled back confidently, all her worries left upstairs, but her father on the other hand looked quite nervous. I' m sure he's more than happy for Harry and his daughter, but she IS his baby girl, his only girl, and after today he won't be the only man in her life. (Well, he technically never was the only man in her life, considering she had 6 older brothers and has loved Harry since before she was at Hogwarts.)

So, then it was almost my turn to leave. I turned and straightened Teddy's tie and walked out of the kitchen, through the white archway with pink roses on it brought for the wedding, down the aisle and towards my place opposite of Ron by the preacher.

I tried not to look at Fred and it took all of my will power … I focused on how lucky they were. The clear afternoon blue skies were beautiful for the wedding … just the right effect, and … aw crap I looked right at him, and he was looking right back at me … well of course he was looking at me I'm walking down the aisle in his only sister's wedding. I needed to look away so I glanced at Harry and smiled.

I finally arrived at my spot and was glad I couldn't see Fred. He was blocked by Harry, Ron, and Neville. Next were Teddy and Victoire. Mrs. Weasley had said not to worry about how they would get down the aisle, because she had it covered, so I was curious to see how they would get them to the altar.

Mr. Weasley appeared carrying them and set them down standing up, looked at the twins as if to remind them of something, warning them to behave and then disappeared back through the arch into the kitchen. The twins then pulled out their wands and levitated Teddy and Victoire just above the ground slowly towards the altar. They looked so cute, a slight mummer of people started to talk very quietly. Whispering to the person next to them about the tiny pair. Fleur on the other hand burst into tears on how cute they looked.

Teddy, who was now a little over 7 months old came out with light brown hair and blue eyes, just like his father, but soon after seeing Harry, his favorite person, his hair was jet black and he had the same bright green eyes. It looked very good with his little tux, vest and tie that matched the other men.

Victoire on the other hand, who was now a little over 6 months old, had on the delicate, white and pink, flower girl dress with her little blonde baby curls, and a huge Weasley grin. She was holding the basket with her clumsy baby hands and was trying to throw flowers, but she couldn't hold the basket and throw very well at the same time. (Bill had spent over an hour last night teaching her what to do.) Teddy, seeing that she was struggling, took the basket and held it towards her. (They would never live this moment down … he knew to help her even though he was so young) She almost looked up as if to say thanks and started dropping the pale pink rose petals all the while giggling at how they floated down to the floor.

When they reached the end and Mrs. Weasley took the two on the chair next to her. Now the song was playing for Ginny to come out and everyone was silent again. They seemed to be holding their breath. She appeared, and I swear I heard everyone take in a breath. She looked that beautiful.

I quickly turned to see the look on Harry's face, and boy did he look happy. I knew he cared for Ginny more than anything in the world, more than Ron, and I, and by the look on his face maybe even more than food. They were prefect for each other … I just love weddings …

But when Harry moved forward to take Ginny's hand, I had a clear view of … Fred. And for some unknown reason, it was probably God trying to get a good laugh, he was looking directly at me with a pondering expression. I smiled as best I could without giving away how nervous it made me to see that he was looking at me.


*FW pov*

Wow, she looks even more beautiful than when I saw her at the fitting … but why won't she look at me again … what if she likes Ron again … We could have THIS. I know people think I want to be a bachelor for forever, but I would go through this, (hell) just like Harry, putting up with my mum, just to see her happy, and in a white wedding gown. … but how would she know that I would want this? And what am I thinking?? … but Dumbledore had said …

YEA! She looked at me … bloody hell, she looks good when she smiles … I'm glad Harry moved forward so I can see her now …

"Dearly beloved, We are gathered her to join this man, and this women..." … yea, yea, yea let's get through this boring part … I bet the cake tastes good, and if there's extra … Mum will probably let us eat a ton! …

Soon, but I personally don't think soon enough, Harry and Gin were saying their wedding vows. Mum was crying with Victoire on her lap, and dad was trying to comfort her, while holding Teddy.

"You may kiss the bride!" … was he seriously going to kiss her in front of all 6 of us?? … haha yup he did, wow George and I will have to tease him about that … but mum would kill me if I said something now … later

So after the ceremony, next was the worst part of all … the pictures. Anyone who has ever been in a wedding party knows how many times you have to fake smile, even though your cheeks are killing you. We took thousands of pictures, at least it seemed that many, but finally we were done and went around to the side yard where the tent was set up.

All of the guests were there and waiting for the wedding party to arrive. (because it took so long for those stupid pictures.) We had to walk in when our names were called … George was with Gabriella, next was Charlie and Natasha, Penelope and Percy, Neville and Luna, Fleur and Bill, Liliah and myself, (Mum just wanted George and I as far away from each other as humanly possible.) Ron and Mione, and last was Harry and Ginny. After the announcements we all went to sit at the 'Head Table.' That's what George and I named it because it was a long straight table where the wedding party sits … this was where mum had us sitting … because the table had name places. From left to right it went; Percy, Penelope, Charlie, Natasha, Neville, Luna, Ron, Harry, Ginny, Mione, Me, Liliah, George, Gabriella, Bill, Fleur, and then beyond that was a miniature table that Teddy and Victoire sat at.

Yea, I'm sure you're wondering the same thing I am … How in Merlin's boxers did I end up by Mione? I have not a clue, but I'm sure not going to question it! We sat down to eat, and Mione and I had some good conversations, but she talked to Ginny, Harry, and that Liliah girl a lot … Even if she did talk to them more than me, I decided that it didn't matter. All that mattered was, I would dance with her at least once tonight … even if it was the last thing I did…


*HG pov*

How in the world did I get seated next to Fred? … I think it's quite funny actually. I love my spot … Fred's right next to me and so is Ginny. My two favorite Weasleys … I mean Potter and Weasley … wow that sounds weird.

Everything is going just as we planned though … I love when everything goes according to schedule … The food has tasted great so far. All of Mrs. Weasley's planning is paying off, she looks so happy next to Mr. Weasley.

Fred and I have been talking, but now that dessert is here he hasn't said much. I hope it's because he's eating his favorite dessert, and not because he's plotting something …

"Bloody Hell … Mione guess wha-"said Fred as I smack the back of his head "OUCH! … what was that for?"

"Watch your language Frederick!" I replied with a smirk

"You do know Mione, that I love when you say my whole name." he said with a wink.

"What did you want me to guess?" I asked annoyed. I hate how he flirts with me, because he doesn't feel the same way I do … It annoys me to no end that I can't stop my heart from beating faster when he does … even if he flirts with every other girl too.

"Oh, yea … GUESS WHOSE HERE!" he said earning the attention on the people next to us. So now George Liliah, and Ginny were also listening.

"… uhhh your cousin Ursula?" I asked with a smile.

"hahaha good guess but no … I'm surprised HE'S at a 'blood traitor's wedding … HINT HINT"

"The only person that comes to mind is … Malfoy … and that can't be right…" I trailed off because the look on his face said I had guessed correctly, so I turned to scan the guest tables … Fred pointed towards the left back corner of the tent and sure enough there was that blonde I had known for so long …

… What was he doing here? Mrs. Weasley would never invite him in case Ron saw him and decided to start a fight … I turned to Ginny to see what she knew and she too had a confused look on her face.

"I don't know Hermione," Ginny answered my thoughts, "I can't believe he's here. He always made it clear how much he detested us … I'm confused. I just hope he doesn't try and start anything…"

"Ginny! I'm so sorry! I didn't think you would mind and you said I could bring a date and he's my fiancé, so … yeah, and I know he won't start a fight because I told him to behave or I'll be very angry… I'm so sorry!!" said Liliah with a sad smile.

"What? … Malfoy, with you? Hufflepuff? … huh?" was Ginny's reply.

… OhMyGod … THIS girl sitting between Fred and George was DEliliah … The girl Lucius had talked about! How hadn't I noticed before??? … well I didn't know she was a Slytherin … that's a very important factor.

Liliah gave a small smile. "Ginny I guess I always thought you knew I was the only Slytherin to take muggle studies, so they put me in your class … if you want I can ask Draco to leave."

"No, no! Liliah he's your date, I'm just surprised … that's all. I didn't know. Wow I'm so stupid …"

"Liliah," I asked shyly, "Is your last name Zambini?"

"Yeah … sorry again guys" she replied looking guilty

"It's not your fault doll." Said George as he put a comforting arm around her.

"We won't hold it against you." Fred said with a smile.

"You seem perfectly nice to us." I said

"So, I guess if you trust the ferret, so will we." Said George

"You probably keep him in line." I reassured her.

"Yea he needs someone like you." Said Fred

"Look at Gin, she has 6 brothers. We're not a family that judges … are we guys?" asked George

"Nope" Fred, Ginny, and I said at the same time, and then we burst out laughing. As I was laughing I was trying to remember when I had joined in the twin conversations … hmmm idkk … work maybe?

The next thing I knew it was Harry and Ginny's first dance. They looked like a perfect couple, dancing slowly and talking to just each other. As they were dancing George came over and started talking to me.

"So Hermione… will you be working a lot until school starts?" he asked.

"Yeah … if that's okay. I need to get the money for school stuff, you know … and plus you'll need help."

"I know all too well. I almost miss good ol' Hogwarts … but not as much as Fred and I are going to miss you once you go back to school and it's only Lee around the shop … it's going to be beyond boring! He's turned on us since Angelinia tamed him." He joked as he slung his arm around my shoulder and glanced around the room. I was too busy thinking about how much I was going to miss all the fun we had while at work, to notice the evil smirk he directed towards his twin.

The next thing I knew Fred was standing in front of me with a grin on his face and his hand out. "A dance my lady? … I would just love to rescue you from this evil twin of mine."

"Why Fred," I said with a smirk. "If I remember correctly it is you that is the evil twin, but I'd love to dance … this is my favorite song." I said grabbing his arm and dragging him onto the dance floor.

Over the course of the evening I dance with many people. (Neville, all the Weasley boys, yes even Ron, some distant Weasley cousins, and many more.) I had also seen many cute couples like, Liliah and a happy looking Draco … surprising I know, Ron and Luna, Neville and Cho Chang. (I guess they had become friends at school last year, and she was his date.) The one person I realized I hadn't danced with yet, was Harry.

So after they cut and ate the cake when Harry was stuck dancing with Gabriella. I decided to cut in.

"Hey Gabriella, mind if I cut in?"

"Oh Noo zhat eez fine"

"Thanks … so Harry, I think you owe me!" I said jokingly once she had flounced away.

He laughed, "Well, Hermione I already owe you my life, so I don't know what else there is …"

I joined in his laughing, "So, how does it feel to be a married man?"

"Great, Ginny is perfect, and I was wondering, … See I forgot to … I know you've done a lot already, but …"

"Just ask it already Harry!"

"Well, for the last month I've been going to Grimmauld Place and redoing it, but there hasn't been a whole lot of free time and I mean it could use a women's touch before Ginny sees it … I want her to be comfortable when we get back home. It will be her first night practically not calling the Burrow her home …"

"Oh Harry, Of course I'll go over there and do some work. It will be perfect by the time you get home!"

I figured that was a lot to promise since knowing Harry, which I do very well. He probably just cleaned the whole house(but only a man's cleaning), maybe bought a few things, but put a whole lot of security spells on the house. It was so cute how protective he was of Ginny. He had lost so much family already and I knew he would do anything for her, and she surprisingly let him (she had always hated it when her brothers played her hero, but Harry was a whole different story). That's another reason why I was so excited for him. They were going to be so happy together … I just know it.

We continued to dance and talk. He had always been one of my best friends. Someone I could confide in. Especially since after Ron left us while searching for the Hoaxes, Harry and I had really bonded through all our near death experiences. He had been with me through many hardships in my life, so it was nice to just dance for a couple songs and catch up.

Pretty soon it was time for Harry and Ginny to leave and catch their flight. (They couldn't apparate because they had never been to Hawaii before and they had a lot of luggage to take, you don't want to splinch yourself on such a happy day. Plus Mr. Weasley thought it was amazing, planes I mean.) I went with Ginny upstairs to help her get out of her gown and into her leaving outfit. She looked so happy.

Mrs. Weasley came and told me to go down stairs so I could catch the flowers when Ginny threw them and she would finish helping Ginny. She hugged me goodbye with a smile, and I hurried down stairs and started talking to Liliah, who was standing next to Draco. He gave me a pained smile after she sent him a glare. (It was good to see someone could make him behave.)

Liliah and I were busy talking and all of a sudden Malfoy disappeared and girls were screaming. It seems Liliah and I missed Mrs. Weasley announcing Ginny's arrival at the top of the stairs, so next thing I knew Ginny's flowers were coming right towards me. I caught them and soon after was tackled by about 5 girls. One of which was Gabriella …

About two seconds later they were off and Fred was standing over me. Everyone else had run outside to see Harry and Ginny off. He stood there smiling for a second and then offered his hand to help me up. I reached for it and he helped me up, and steadied me when I almost fell. … the room was just so dizzy…

"Woah, there Mione … don't want to take a trip back to the floor." He joked as he supported me and walked me towards te door, so we would see Ginny and Harry before they got to the apparition point.

"Thanks." I said

"Not a problem … just next time wear a helmet or something …"

"Ha. Ha very funny Fred, but according to the magic flowers I'm getting married next." I said as we reached the front door. He just laughed.

We watched as Ginny started to cry and wave goodbye as they reached the apparition point, right before Harry apparated them away to the alley next to the airport. I bet she was thinking of how she would never sleep at the Burrow again as a Weasley. She was a Potter now.


*clap clap clap* well that's how I thought Harry and Ginny's Wedding happened. I hope you liked it! Please review and give me some input!! -Grace
