Chapter Eleven: Good Luck Ever After
-Disclaimer-
I do NOT own Harry Potter (waaaahhhh, I wish I did!), I own Em though, so ner.
I do not own the song 'Come what may'
A/N: Awwwww..this is end of Act II, wahhhhhhhh, I'm going to miss writing it, then again, there's always Act's 3,4 and 5 to come.hee hee
After the celebrations died down outside the church, everyone made for the village hall, which had been hired out for a reception.
Everyone made their way in and sat down at the tables, which were arranged all around a small dance floor.
Fred and George seriously had some fun writing a best mans speech, which Steve had gracefully declined to do, seeing as he had a fear of speaking to big crowds.
Oliver put his face in one of his hands, and smiled to himself as the two of them stood to do their piece, Em cringed slightly and smiled to herself, she unfortunately knew what they were like.
"Ladies, gents, and small children." started Fred, "What to say, I know you guys are expecting a tonne of jokes and crap like that.and."
"You're right.there'll be plenty of that." piped up George.
"We, the two of us first met Oliver when we were what 11, and he was thirteen, and I can tell you, seven years later, he hasn't changed one bloody bit.he's still Quidditch nuts."
"Well.not as much so in the past couple of year, thanks to Em here, she gave him something else to think about other than his sport of choice, but then again, she's just about as bad as he is, so now we're kind of even."
A light wave of laughter ran through the guests.
"I'm only kidding you guys, but seriously, the past almost two years have been pretty crazy for all of us, I mean, only two years ago, Em was a sweet sixteen year old transfer without a care in the world, and Oliver a budding professional player, and now, they're both professional players."
"With the sky being the limit it seems." butted in George.
"So ladies and gents, I want you all to raise your glasses and then get very drunk now."
"Ha, we're joking, raise your glasses please, and make a toast, To Oliver and Em."
Everyone did as the twins asked and raised their glasses before downing the contents soon after.
"Now comes the soppiest bit of the afternoon' festivities, the couple's first dance together as man and wife." said Fred, as George made a fingers down throat gesture at them.
#When the night has come And the land is dark And the moon is the only light we'll see No, I won't be afraid No, I won't be afraid Just as long as you stand Stand by me#
The newlyweds just swayed left to right as the song barely reached their ears, they were too lost in the moment to care about anything else around them.
#So darling, darling, stand by me, oh, stand by me oh, stand, stand by me stand by me#
McGonagall watched on in pure Gryffindor pride as the two danced away on their own, it was the first time in a long time she'd been invited to a former pupils wedding, let alone two of what was her own house.
#If the sky that we look upon should tumble and fall or the mountains should crumble to the sea I won't cry, I won't cry, No, I won't shed a tear Just as long as you stand Stand by me#
Fiona watched her son and her new daughter in law holding close to one another, normally she would have been shocked that someone would marry so young, especially when it involves her only child, but now it had happened, her attitude changed, she was happy for him, or rather she had to be, seeing as Ian wasn't here to be happy for him.
#If the sky that we look upon should tumble and fall or the mountains should crumble to the sea I won't cry, I won't cry, No, I won't shed a tear Just as long as you stand Stand by me#
Oliver sighed happily and wrapped his arms further around Em's back, she also sighed, looked into his eyes and kissed him.
#So darling, darling, stand by me, oh, stand by me oh, stand, stand by me stand by me
Whenever you're in trouble just stand by me Oh stand by me Whoa stand now, oh stand, stand by me#
The song faded out and Em called all the unmarried women in the room onto the dance floor for the mandatory throwing of the bouquet. She got the lilies off Hazel and stood herself about ten feet in front of the group:
"Ok.Ready? Here it comes." she called, before throwing the flowers over her shoulder, she spun around to see who had caught them, and to almost no- one's surprise it was Katie, who was immediately scooped up by a slightly shocked looking George.
Em laughed and slapped George on the back, before Oliver caught her arm and decided it was time to throw her garter to all the single guys in the room. So he got down one knee, took her right foot and rested on his left thigh as he slid the navy band down past her knee.
She giggled slightly as he trailed kissed down from her knee to her mid calf, he stood back up, slid an arm around her waist, turned around and then threw the garter over his shoulder. He waited until he heard a cheer before turning around again; Fred had caught it and was now snogging the face off Angelina.
"Ooh." started Em, "You know what we gotta do now?"
"What?"
"Cut the cake."
"Oh yeah."
The cake was cut with Fiona snapping away with her camera, and it was then handed around, particularly among the small children who were present.
Em introduced her eleven-year-old cousin Martin to Oliver and explained that he would be starting at Hogwarts in September. Martin was the son of Em's elder cousin Kevin.
As the evening progressed a tango began, the frantic passionate rhythm filled the air with its sensuality. Only a few lithe couples managed to keep up with the pounding beat. Their evocative moves enticed and encaptured the attention of the whole room.
Several hours of dancing, music and drinking later, only the invited adults were still there, all the younger guests had retired to their accommodation, most had had their fill of dancing and partying for the day and were quite tired.
The music was now being controlled on a magic jukebox where you simply spoke the song title and it began to play in a couple of seconds.
#Never knew I could feel like this Like I've never seen the sky before Want to vanish inside your kiss Everyday I love you more and more#
Oliver smiled, closed his eyes and rested his chin on the top of Em's head as the enticing tune and meaningful lyrics reached his ears.
#Listen to my heart can you hear it sing Telling me to give you everything Seasons may change, winter to spring But I love you until the end of time#
Em stared sideways as the song played on, her eyes becoming glazed over as she rested her head on his chest, listening to the soft sound of his heart beating.
#Come what may Come what may I will love you until my dying day#
Katie sighed as George gently swayed her from side to side as the words of the music struck a chord with her, as she knew they would with her newlywed friends.
#Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place Suddenly it moves with such a perfect grace Suddenly my life doesn't seem such a waste It all revolves around you And there's no mountain too high No river too wide Sing out this song and I'll be there by your side Storm clouds may gather, And stars may collide#
The next lines seemed to flow from their mouths like they had already heard the song many times, instead of being sung however, they were uttered in a barely audible whisper.
"But I love you"
"I love you"
"Until the end of time"
"Until the end of time"
They stared into each other's eyes as the last words of the song rang out, knowing what they had whispered to one another there was true and would never be made untrue, even by the twisted hands of fate.
#Come what may Come what may I will love you...
I will love you until my dying day.........#
As the song ended, he held her at her elbows, as she did to him:
"I really do love you."
"Until the end of time." she whispered in reply.
Soon after that, the reception finished, and the couple headed back to Oliver's house for some extra partying, just the two of them, if you know what I mean.
To keep up with tradition, he carried her over the threshold, narrowly avoiding hitting her head on the doorframe, she giggled and squeaked loudly as he refused to put her down.
Fiona appeared from the kitchen and stopped them from a moment, to Oliver's slight annoyance. He groaned slightly and put Em down and asked what his mum wanted.
"We..I mean.your dad and me, Hazel and Oscar helped as well, we got you this as our wedding present.here."
She handed him an envelope, which he eyed curiously for a moment, before tentatively tearing at the sealed edge.
He slid out the contents and nearly fainted in shock.
"I can't believe this...you guys...you...."
"What? What is it?" asked Em, eager to know what it was.
"It's.it's a holiday, two weeks in Oahu, the Hawaiian Islands." he replied, his eyes wide in shock."
"Oh." squeaked Em, latching on to Fiona, giving her a tight hug.
"Mum, I don't know what to say."
"Then don't say anything, just enjoy the honeymoon."
He couldn't speak for the lump in his throat, he didn't move again until Fiona gave him a small pat on the arm.
"Go on son, enjoy your wedding night."
Em led him away upstairs with a cheeky grin on her face, and as they reached the top of the stairs, Oliver laid a hand lightly on her behind, she smiled inwardly and replied, pulling him up against the bedroom door with her arms draped around his neck.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you, I'm not wearing any underwear under here."
He merely arched an eyebrow, twisted the door handle and hurried her inside.
Let's just say, that night, they were thankful for the invention of silencing charms.
