Chapter Fourteen: Blissfully Wedded

~Bliss~

Everything was mad, rushing around and trying to get everything I needed for the wedding taken care of. My Maid of Honor was Tonks, my bridesmaids were Natalie, Nicolette and Fleur (I wanted Ginny to be my other bridesmaid, but she was at Hogwarts still). George chose Fred as his Best Man (duh) Bill, Charlie and Lee (he would've had Ron, but he was at school too and sick in the hospital wing after an incident with poisoned mead on his birthday). That was the main problem of the wedding date-was that it was the only thing we could work out that would give the family enough time to prepare for Bill and Fleur's wedding still and most everyone we wanted there would still be at school. Nevertheless, a lot of people were invited. I got to meet so many cousins, Aunts and Uncles and a few grandparents, as well as they got to meet some of ours.

I walked down the aisle and into the marquee, where George was waiting. His eyes lit up as he saw me in the snow-white dress. It was strapless, and had red patterns that reminded me of roses going along the sides and everywhere on the poofy bottom of the gown. His dress robes were the exceedingly normal black with a maroon vest underneath and matching tie. The moment we said our 'I dos' was an exciting moment for both of us, and the entire family was pretty much crying. When the wedding was over and we were married, the music started playing (a band in fancy gold robes played soft music) and the bridal party dance began. I arranged who would dance with whom the week before so no one felt awkward. I dance with George (obviously), Tonks dances with Fred, Lee dances with Natalie, Fleur dances with Bill and Nicolette dances with Charlie. The dance went incredible and I couldn't believe I arranged it so well. Natalie and Lee were laughing quietly to themselves, Tonks and Fred were talking quietly, Fleur and Bill were flirting, and Nicolette and Charlie were blushing like mad.

''How do you feel, Mrs. Weasley?'' George whispered in my ear, pulling us closer together.

''Mrs. Weasley is your mum.''

''OUR mum.'' He chuckled.

''Bliss Weasley. It has a ring to it, doesn't it?''

''That it does. That it does. You're mine. Officially now. Mum's crying again.'' He noticed.

After we stopped dancing, the guests started to mingle a lot more.

''Mrs. Weasley, I wanted to know if-''

''Call me 'Mum' dear.'' She smiled brightly, hugging me. I was lost for words… I couldn't even say anything back. I just hugged her and I even cried a little.

The red and black theme worked perfectly and I was happy with all the work they went through to make this possible.

''Thank you all so much.'' I told all of them before the wedding actually ended and everyone started apparating for home after saying their goodbyes.

''I'll miss you.'' I hugged Dora.

''I'll miss you too, Bliss. Thanks for letting me be your Maid of Honor. It's a real… well, honor.'' She grinned.

''Tonks!'' George grinned, walking over to her.

''Wotcher, George. Take care of my niece, okay? Make sure she gets everything she needs, and if she doesn't, I'll come looking for you.'' She winked dangerously before shaking his hand.

''I promise that I'll never let her out of my sight. Take care of yourself.'' He wrapped an arm around my shoulders and we watched as Tonks apparated. All of the guests were gone, except Fred, Natalie and us. The family were all inside.

''You didn't get drunk.'' I stated when Fred walked by.

''After the last time I drank, I don't ever want to see whiskey again.'' The color drained from his face.

''Where is Natalie?''

''She was right behind-Talie!'' He shouted, noticing her limp form on the floor. She was gasping and crying. All of us gathered around her. Natalie's eyes snapped open and Fred just looked lost for words. He took her small hand in his and held it tightly.

''What happened?'' I asked.

''I don't know. How did I get here?'' She asked weakly.

''Fred, take her back to the shop and stay with her… I don't think she should be around all of this tonight.''

''But, maybe mum can-''

''If she gets worse take her to St. Mungo's, but she looks fine. I just think she needs to be away from the party tonight.''

''No… NO! Everybody go, get out of here! She's coming!'' Realization flooded into her eyes and even though she was weak and she had to have Fred's help, she stood up rather quickly.

''Who is coming?''

''ZARIA! She's coming… for me! We have to hide all this and get out of here!'' She exclaimed. We looked around nervously.

''The last time we didn't believe you, Nicolette paid the price. You heard her. Let's get this cleaned up.''

Within moments, we had the tent flattened, but not hidden completely. Fred and Natalie were about to apparate when suddenly, a cold laugh echoed all around us. A burst of red light came at us and George flung himself at me, knocking me to the ground. My hair went from my usual blonde to black and really short now. I was afraid… and it was starting to show.

''You're difficult to find, Natalie Weasley. I've been looking for you for many years now.'' She stepped out of the shadows, her face thin and pale. Her long blonde hair hung lank around her face. She was wearing a worn black dress that looked more ghostly then anything else. Zaria pointed her wand at Natalie.

''What do you want with me?''

''You won't be alive long enough to find out-''

''Not her, you bitch!'' Fred shouted, getting in front of me.

''Aw, how sweet. So you don't know about her? How she's not really a part of this family at all?'' She cackled.

''It doesn't matter! She's lived here for her whole life! I'll die before you touch her.'' It was a tense moment.

''You're a fool. So be it.'' She grinned wickedly, holding her wand to his throat. Fred was serious! It was so obvious that George wanted to make a move to stop her but I grabbed his arm. ''AVADA-''

''RICTESEMPRA!'' Came a yell nearby and Zaria went flying off her feet. Fred came very close to getting killed… dangerously close. I saw Remus Lupin had left the house and shot the spell at her- I didn't even notice him coming our way. Zaria snatched her wand up and was on her feet in seconds.

''PETRIFICUS TOATALUS!'' Natalie cried, an orb of yellow streaking towards Zaria.

''PROTEGO!'' A green shield briefly materialized and neutralized the spell.

''Damn it!'' Fred had his wand out and was aiming straight at her.

''AVADA-''

''EXPELLIARMUS!'' Her wand flew from her hand.

''You aren't having much luck with the killing curse are you now?'' Natalie narrowed her eyes.

''I'll be back, and when I am, I'll burn this place to the bloody ground.'' She threatened, retrieving her wand and apparating before we could stop her. Everyone was out of breath and shocked. We didn't quite know what to do.

''It's probably best if you head back to the shop instead of staying the night here. I'm sorry, but it's dangerous now. I'll get the Order together and we will place enchantments around the Burrow. She won't be able to break through anytime soon. I suggest you do the same. You'll remember the basic protection spells and shield charms, but of course the more complicated ones as well. Do as many as you can on the shop. We don't know if she will strike there next or not.''

Without another word, we apparated back to the shop.

''I can't believe any of that just happened…''I gaped.

''Neither can I.'' Natalie whispered, looking very much afraid.

''We'll do the enchantments. You two can go upstairs. It's your wedding night-go and do what you want.'' Fred told us darkly.

''If you're sure.'' I cast a quick look at George and then the both of us went straight into the shop and up the stairs. I was scared, sad, worried and I wanted George. No, I needed him. I pushed him up against the wall and kissed him fiercely. He followed my example, his hands sliding to my back. He fought back with a passion, leading me to his bed and pushing me down onto the mattress. George got over top of me, and I slid his jacket off. Next, I removed his tie and I unbuttoned his vest, leaving him in his white button-down.

''Bliss…''George's voice had a rough edge to it.

''Not tonight, okay? This is our wedding night, and I just got done having the scariest thing happen to me. We could die tomorrow, or even tonight. I want to be with you. Fred even gave us permission. Please… don't stop.''

He nodded and brought his mouth back to mine while I unbuttoned his shirt and helped him out of it. Now my palms were against his bare chest as we kissed. They started going lower and I brushed against the front of his pants. George let out a husky moan into the kiss.

''You're going to kill me, Bliss…'' He breathed, panting slightly. He surprised me by rolling us over and running his hands over the zipper of my dress. He slid it down slowly, looking deep in my eyes the whole time.

I helped him get the dress off and I felt so exposed in front of him. Suddenly, I didn't know if I could do this. My hair went from wine red to my black and short hair, showing him how afraid I was. I hated that my abilities made me so vulnerable to him.

''You're not ready…'' George breathed, looking away.

''Of course I am, I just-I'm scared.''

''Then you're not ready. When you're ready, you won't be scared. I won't hurt you, love. But you have to learn that for yourself.'' He kissed me deeply.

''Please… I need this…''

''Bliss, listen to me. There will be another beautiful day tomorrow. We will live through this, I promise you. I would never lie to you. If I even thought we would die tomorrow, we wouldn't be having this conversation because we would be much to busy for words, believe me. You're not ready, sweetheart. Let it go tonight…'' He whispered. It killed me, how much George was right in one day.

''Yes, yes, fine.'' I snapped, climbing off him and standing there in my wedding corset and knickers. I felt exposed and somehow I knew he was watching as I grabbed my pajamas and went to the bathroom to get rid of the corset and change. When I was changed and not exposed, I noticed George still lay on the bed, shirtless, his skin flushed.

''I thought you'd be changing too.'' I sighed.

''I'm sorry.'' He said softly.

''It's not your fault. You're right, you know. I'm not ready. I just… I wanted you. I was scared and I thought maybe it would make me feel better.''

''That's the wrong reasons to want this, Bliss.''

''I know. I mean, obviously you know I love you more then anything in this world. I'm sorry.'' I climbed in bed and set my wand on the window sill. George finally got up and changed, then he returned so we could at least sleep in the same bed together.

A/N Muahahahaha! Yet ANOTHER tease! Will George and Bliss EVER do it? Will they do it under the right circumstances? Can Ron ever ask Hermione out? Wait, what does that have to do with the story…? Never mind. Anyway… Review. Thoughts. Comments. Complaints on George's teasing..?
