A/N: So what do you guys think? This story is close to its end and I need some advice for later.
I'm so excited to finish this story and begin with Not Giving Up, Just Giving In and my Next Generation Story which I titled, Heartbeat.
For the people who read Desperate, I haven't given up, I just don't know how to do it. I'm stuck with these 300 word chapters, and I can't figure out how to make them longer and make them make sense. And guys, I'll post an author's note to it. I need suggestions. If you have one, PM message me the idea. If I like it, I don't want anyone else seeing it.
Ok, so I looked into my email to check reviews, and someone had posted a review for Not Giving Up, Just Giving In and they said, "I totally think that you should continue with both stories. I am a mad It's time fan and would love for you to just add a final to the wedding and maybe an epilogue. My favorite chapter is chapter 7 - Soooo romantic!"
Just first off, to who ever said that, I LOVE YOU! You like boosted my confidence so much. I really thought I sucked at this. And, well I might just take you up on your idea of the second part to the wedding being the last chapter and there being an epilogue. But it would be a long epilogue probably. But you guys probably wouldn't have any problem with that, would you?
And last but not least, what are your thoughts on Percy? I forgot to add an A/N to ending of the last chapter to ask you all, so let's do this. Before you read anymore, make a prediction about it, and then at the ending, tell me in a comment 1) What your prediction was 2) If you were wrong, of you liked it.
Happy Reading!
Harry was certainly mesmerized by the decorations the Weasley family had put up. They were beautiful. The entrance was marked by a huge white rose incrusted arch with gold ribbon weaved through it. At the end of all the isles to seats were white roses. Some were enchanted to turn a sparkling gold. Down the aisle in which Ginny would walk down were golden flower petals.
Harry thought it was ironic that Ginny choose gold for her color, without even knowing that it was Harry's favorite color on her, courtesy of the dress she wore for Bill and Fleur's wedding last year. Everything he thought about that day was a thought about her. He thought he was already struggling with his decision to leave her. After they had kissed, he had cursed himself for days for not telling her he loved her.
"Harry, it's time." Mrs. Weasley smiled at him and hugged him tighter than usual. "It feels like just yesterday I was telling you how to get to the train." Mrs. Weasley let him go and looked up at him. "You all just grow up to fast." Mrs. Weasley smiled and looked on the verge of tears. "No time for crying right now." Mrs. Weasley smiled warmly again the said to Harry, "It's time you're married."
Harry stood beside Kingsley and waited anxiously.
He was getting married.
He couldn't hide the stupid grin on his face.
When the music started, Harry held his breath. He couldn't wait to see her. He couldn't wait to have her next to him, with her last name changed to his.
It may sound cliché, but Mrs. Ginevra Potter had a certain ring to it.
Laughing at himself, Harry watched as Ginny appeared under the veil, and Harry felt his breath being knocked out of him.
She looked beautiful. He couldn't tell you what went on around him, for he couldn't take his eyes off of Ginny. She grinned widely and mouthed to him, 'I love you.' Harry would've replied, but he couldn't move. He was too stunned. She looked like she laughed a little at him.
When she met him he smiled huge.
Harry said everything he had to, but never once did he take his eyes off of the beautiful redhead standing beside him.
When Kingsley said those last few lines, biding them together both in law and in Magic, he cupped her face in his hands and kissed her like he had the first time they had kissed.
Without hesitation.
Harry was in sort of a daze come time for the reception. Lots of Weasley family members to meet. One of Ginny's cousin's from the Prewett side had actually winked at him. He felt very uncomfortable at that point.
But none the less, Harry Potter was happy.
Ginny was laughing at his stupid grin all night.
"Again, here you are, flashing that grin and as slap happy as last summer." She laughed as they danced together. "Not that I don't like it, but still."
"You seem in a good mood, yourself, Mrs. Potter." He whispered playfully in her ear.
"Hmm…" Ginny mumbled. "Nice ring to it, huh?"
"It sounds beautiful." Harry kissed her softly and she giggled at the hoots and hollers of the crowd.
"A little eager, are we, Harry?" George called amusingly.
"Please don't go there, George." Ron grumbled.
Ginny giggled.
Harry watched as Hermione stood and gave her speech, and as a whole lot of people gave theirs, but the speech that was most entertaining was Ron's.
"I guess whatever plans my more devious side was dreaming up are no good now." Ron started. "It's done deal." People laughed, even Hermione. "But let's start at the beginning, shall we?" Ron sighed, "Back about 2 years ago, I thought I had a pretty good idea of what was going on between my sister and my best friend. I was under the impression that it was exactly what you would it would be. Of course I knew they were friends, but that's all I believed it was. I believe there to be a brother/sister relationship, and that's all it would be." Ron shook his head, "I cannot believe I was that thick, because apparently everyone saw it coming." People laughed and nodded their heads. "Yeah, please don't remind me."
Another fit of laughter. "That's why it was such a club over the head when he kissed her." Everyone that knew of the story began laughing hysterically. "For those of you who don't know, Harry had kissed Ginny in front of the entire Gryffindor Common room after she had saved his arse for missing the House Cup game." Yet another fit of laughter. "But after they got together, I couldn't help but realize just how happy they really were, and I couldn't complain. And besides, I don't have to worry about trust issues. I know he's gonna take good care of her. He's not some guy she meet, it's a friend." Ron looked over at Harry and Ginny and smiled. "The only down side I can see is how completely screwed up your kid is gonna be. A Potter and a Weasley all wrapped up in one. Well isn't Hogwarts up for a challenge, eh Professor?" Ron raised his glass to McGonagall. She just laughed softly and shook her head.
Percy stood in the back, listening laggardly to the speeches. His mind was on the ceremony.
Percy had plans to ruin everything. He had plans to say, "I object!"
But when it all came down to doing it, he couldn't. He couldn't because he was finally convinced that Harry was truly in love with his sister. Between how anxious Harry looked, to his reaction when Ginny stepped out from under the elegant arch. Harry's face lit up like Lumos Maximum, and possibly even brighter.
Percy realized this was a long time coming, and none of his brothers would've been able to stop it. Ginny wasn't subtle when it came to love. When she did, she loved hard and brutal- whether that was good or not.
Ginny changed hastily out of her wedding dress and into the golden cocktail dress Hermione had bought for her as a wedding present.
"Put it to good use," Hermione had said, then whispered to her, "You have no idea how much Harry will like this on you!"
Ginny had laughed at her. Harry liked anything on her it seemed.
When Ginny had let out her hair and looked into the mirror, she stopped.
I'm married.
Ginny couldn't believe it. What she thought was utterly hilarious was that it was to her brother's best friend. What are the odds of that in everyday life?
She also couldn't believe she was married to Harry. Not because she was famous and savior to the wizarding world, but because she didn't deserve him. She was selfish and cocky. He was the most selfless person she knew, and he was the kindest. He was so modest it wasn't even funny.
Still, Ginny wouldn't take any less of everything that had led to this day. Meeting him on King's Cross just 8 years ago, him staying the summer there and her barely being able to produce words. Or even the embarrassing singing valentine. She also wouldn't give up getting over him. Had she not attempted, she would have never gotten other boyfriends, he would've never gotten jealous and never have realized his feelings for her. And then where would they be now? Would she have married Dean today?
Oh the horror if that was the case.
Ginny snapped out of her thoughts and looked at her hair. It was in a perfect mess. She didn't bother to do anything with her head at all. She was just that tired.
A soft knock came from the door.
Slowly, a familiar frame of a girl came into view.
"Luna?" Ginny quickly ran and hugged her friend, close to tears. "I thought you wouldn't be back for a week!"
"I didn't want to miss seeing you and Harry off." She smiled. "I tried to get here sooner, Neville as well, but we didn't want to apparated and they temporarily blocked the floo network."
Ginny shook her head furiously, "It's fine. I'm just so glad to see you." Ginny let go of the sane less blonde and wiped her eyes. She had started crying.
"It's good to see you too." Luna smiled. Her tone of voice was still the airy voice it always was. Beautiful and terrifying. Luna studied Ginny. "You look marvelous."
"Thank you. Hermione got me the dress." Ginny smiled.
"Well, come on," Luna smiled. "Harry's waiting, you know."
Harry watched as Ginny descended the stairs. She looked genuinely pleased the have seen Luna again. Harry was to, for he had seen Neville just before he himself had left from changing.
Ginny caught Harry's eye and smiled beautifully. He was momentarily stunned.
Ginny strode over to him slowly and planted a soft kiss on his lips. "Let's go." She whispered tenderly, grabbing his hand.
They walked hand in hand out to the crowd waiting outside the Burrow's front door, reaching all the way down to end of the path. The Weasley's met them all the way at the end and hugged and kissed them goodbye.
"Take care of my little girl." Mr. Weasley whispered.
"I promise, Mr. Weasley."
When everyone had said their dues and promised the promises they needed to make, Harry turned to Ginny and muttered very softly, "I love you."
"I love you too." Ginny smiles as his hand caressed her cheek softly.
Harry bent down and softly pressed his lips t her, and they vanished into thin air, going somewhere nether actually knew where, but for some reason, they didn't care.
It's time to start my life the way it should've been years ago.
