A/N: Normally, when people think of the Potter family, their immediate thoughts are of James, Lily, Albus, Ginny, and Harry. However, Teddy Lupin is an important part of their family, Ginny and Harry's first child. This story especially features them.
As I walked down the aisle, I waved and smiled to everyone around me. Relatives that I hadn't seen in decades had come to the Burrow, and honestly, I didn't want to see any of them. Many people I didn't recognize, but they all seemed to have French accents and very beautiful faces. Must be Fleur's family.
I was seated in seats toward the front, with Bill and Fleur and Andromeda. Bill was in the house, preparing, but Fleur was there, and she hugged me tightly. As we embraced, she whispered in my ear, "I just can not believe it! Where had ze time flown?" I shrugged my shoulders.
"Hell if I know," I replied, and she laughed lightly. I could tell she agreed.
Andromeda wrapped her arm around my shoulders. She was getting up there in age, but still came over every week for dinner. She had spent the night at our place the night before, so we didn't really speak much, but we could both tell what each other was thinking.
The soft music that was playing in the background swelled to a large crescendo, then became a loud wedding march. Harry, James, and Teddy walked to the front of the tent, beaming with pride. The procession from the back of the tent began. AS the flower girl, Lily walked in first, in a beautiful light-green dress. Molly and Dominique glided in next, looking as beautiful as ever. However, neither of them could compare to the beautiful bride processing in.
Victoire came slowly up the aisle, nodding and smiling as she walked up past the crowds. She was clothed in an exquisite white gown, no doubt designer, that fit her perfectly. Victoire positively glowed as she walked to the front of the tent. She held her father's hand gently, and Bill honestly seemed more nervous than she did. When they reached everyone in the front, Vicky stopped to kiss her grandmothers' cheeks, then stood up straight and looked into Teddy's eyes.
"Who gives this woman away?" Percy asked in a loud, booming voice. I didn't realize that he would be doing the wedding, but since he did mine, Ron's, and Fred's, I guess I should have figured.
Bill answered, "I do," and handed his oldest daughter away to my godson.
The rest of the ceremony went by in a blur, and not just because the tears in my eyes made it impossible for me to see. By the very end, when Teddy kissed Vicky, I was outwardly bawling, distraught that my adopted son was getting married and leaving us.
Suddenly, the tent was transformed from a wedding ceremony to an afterparty, with a large dance floor in the center. Teddy grabbed Vicki's hand and led her to the middle of the floor for the customary first dance. They stared into each other's eyes, smiling with their hearts. The music decrescendoed, then blended into a new song as a smattering of applause ensued. Victoire ran to her father and pulled him to the middle. Teddy walked over to me.
'Come on, Gin, it's time to dance," he told me.
I replied, "No, go dance with your grandmother." Andromeda deserved this dance with her grandson at his wedding, this dance before anyone else.
Teddy gave me a huge grin, which mirrored his father's exactly. He had turned his hair brown to look like his father for the occasion, but had left his eyes bright pink, Tonks's favorite color. He told me, "But this dance is especially for my mother."
My heart swelled, my eyes teared, and I let him pull me out to the middle of the dance floor.
