Chapter 13: The Wedding (Ginny's Story)

"I'm so nervous, I'm so nervous, I'm so nervous, I'm so nervous!" repeated Hermione over and over to herself.

"Calm down love, everything is going to go splendidly" said Mrs. Granger. trying to reassure her.

"Oh come on Hermione, why are you acting like this? You've been around Ron since you were 11 years old. You two have practically been married since forever, what's the problem?" I asked her handing her a glass of water.

"What if I rip my dress walking down the aisle? What if my heel breaks? What if I fall? OH MY GOD! WHAT IF RON ISN'T THERE?!" shouted Hermione starting to have a full on panic attack.

I grabbed a book and started fanning her. "You need to calm down Granger! You'll ruin your makeup and I did a fantastic job. You will be gorgeous and you won't fall, rip, or break and Ron will definitely be waiting for you at the end of the aisle."

Hermione looked hopelessly at me. I couldn't help but laugh as I rubbed her hand.

Mum poked her head into the room to let us know that the guys were ready and to give Hermione a calming potion for her nerves.

We all got in line ready to walk into the great hall. I couldn't tell why I was nervous as if this was my wedding or something, but I really felt like my knees were going to give out on me.

When my turn came to walk I tried to focus on what was directly in front of me but as I walked my eyes drifted over to Ron and Draco. Ron looked as if he was about to fall apart which was expected. But when my eyes met Draco's I found myself feeling like I was floating.

He looked absolutely gorgeous in his green dress robes coordinated with my green dress. He had this look on his face like the way he used to look at his favorite broom when he played Quidditch in school. I gave him a wink and walked over to my spot. He mouthed the word "beautiful" and I couldn't help but blush.

I found myself watching my brother as Hermione came down the aisle. He looked at if he was falling in love with her over and over again with each step she took. I found myself tearing up a bit.

I watched them go through the process of exchanging vows. I couldn't help but wonder if I would have the chance to experience the love that my brother and Hermione had for each other. It was real. It was strong. It was unbreakable. And they deserved it.

I suddenly felt as if I was being watched. I looked over and seen that Draco was practically looking into my soul. I started to feel butterflies in my stomach as if I were a teenager again. My heart felt like it was going to leap out of my chest. Why was he affecting me like this? And what's more, why at this very moment? Of all places, a wedding. An event where true love was meant to be declared. I smiled at him as it felt like we were sharing our own moment in our minds. And when the rings were requested that moment had broke.

After the most beautiful kiss I had ever seen, everything went fast. We went outside and took pictures everywhere and came back and joined the reception where Hermione and Ron went to have their first dance as husband and wife.

Husband. My favorite brother was a husband now. It felt so surreal that Hermione was now my sister-in-law, but then again it didn't feel any different. It was meant to be from the moment they met.

I saw Draco sitting down watching the two dance. I grabbed two glasses of champagne and walked over to him.

"You look like you need this." I said handing him a glass.

"Hell yeah, thank you. The love in the room is absolutely nauseating." He taking the glass from me and taking a sip.

"It is, but you gotta admit, it's wonderful to watch. And it's actually a dream come true for me." I said with a smile.

"Why do you say that?"

"Well, I called this wedding in my 3rd year after 2 years of seeing them interact with each other. I used to tell Hermione myself that she would marry him and she used to laugh at me and I had planned out her whole wedding. She said that if that was to ever happen, she would use my plan. What started as a joke, became a reality. It's really beautiful actually." I said as I watched Ron twirl Hermione around the room. His dancing had improved a lot since Bill's wedding.

"So that's why you were watching the wedding like you were." said Draco.

"Hmm? Oh...well yeah. I guess." I said blushing. I didn't realize how intent he was watching me to notice how into everything I was. It made me nervous so I took a gulp of the champagne.

It came time for the wedding party to join the bride and groom and Draco and I had to dance. It was cute looking at him be so nervous. When we started dancing I found myself even more nervous than he was, so I looked at my feet to make sure I wouldn't mess up. I started to feel more confident so I looked into his beautiful eyes. His eyes has always been my favorite part of him because they never lied no matter what would come out of his mouth. They were like swirling pools of silver, almost like unicorn blood. My heart was racing and I found myself both feeling scared and feeling safe at the same time.

"Draco?"

"Princess?"

"I'm sorry for last night." I said. I didn't know why I picked now to bring this up.

"Yeah I was going to ask you about that. What happened to you?" he asked me.

I gave a nervous shake. Might as well get it out. "I got nervous a little. Your hand kinda grazed over one of my scars and it scared me." I said.

"Shit Ginny was that it? You know I don't care about that at all."

"You don't? Because they aren't going anywhere anytime soon." I said looking down. He didn't deserve this. To be around me. To have damaged goods in his life.

"I understand. And you know I'm not going to either. I don't give a damn about a scar. We all have them. They are just reminders of what we lived through. What we overcame. All of them. Don't be ashamed of them, and don't keep them from me. Please Gin." he said kissing my forehead as if I were a baby.

I started feeling better about things. Maybe I really could let him in. Maybe we could be there for each other. "I'll try not to. I promise." I said smiling at him.

"That's all I ask, love." he said as he hugged me close to him, his smell hypnotizing my senses and I found myself getting lost in all the feelings that I had for him.

This could work. This could actually work. Maybe after the wedding we could talk about us. Maybe we could continue to live together and be happy with each other. I was feeling elated just thinking about it as I rested my chin on his shoulder.

Something inside me made me snap out of it and look up. To my horror I saw Harry. His green eyes glowed bright with a rage that overcame any that I have ever seen in him before. I froze up and watched him mutter a spell and a red light came shooting towards us.

"NO!" I screamed as the spell hit Draco in the back. I started falling as Draco's weight came crashing down on top of me.

Harry had stunned him. And I couldn't move.

Ron and Hermione must have seen what happened because they came running over to me. Ron pushed Draco off of me while Hermione was looking frantically around.

"What the bloody hell-"

"RON! HARRY'S HERE! HARRY'S HERE! HE STUNNED DRACO!" I screamed, tears streaming down my cheeks as I knelt down and rubbed Draco's face, which was bloody and bruised from hitting the floor.

Ron whipped out his wand and went to find his Auror friends that were in attendance. Hermione stayed with me as chaos had started to ensue. More people had started to realize that something had happened.

Blaise came out of nowhere asking questions that I couldn't even focus on to answer. He levitated Draco and placed him on a table. He healed his nose and tried to clean up the blood off his face and tried to revive him but the impact he made with the floor had knocked him out cold.

All of a sudden, I found myself being snatched back and covered. I tried to scream but nothing came out of my mouth. Harry had snatched me under his cloak and was holding onto me tightly, dragging me out of the great hall.

When we got out of the hall he dragged me down an empty corridor slammed me against the wall like he had at Hogsmeade.

"So it's true? You're really fucking with that wanker? You really left him for me huh?!" he yelled at me.

I opened my mouth finally able to speak. "I left you because of this Harry! Now let go of me or I'll scream!"

"You scream and I'll kill you." he said with every ounce of seriousness he could muster. I shut my mouth up tight.

"I told you to bring your ass home did I not? And you didn't listen. What's more, you told your family? My bloody best friends?! How fucking dare you!" he said punching me in the mouth.

I tasted the metallic taste of my own blood. I felt it dripping from my lip, landing on my exposed skin on my chest.

"You would fight me here Harry? With Ron, my brothers, and aurors here looking for you? Why can't you just leave me alone?" I sobbed.

"Because I love you Ginevra. What kind of question is that?"

"No you don't Harry! Maybe you did at one point in our lives, but not anymore. You wouldn't do what you do to me if you truly loved me. Now let me go Harry, please!" I begged him

"I'm giving you 48 hours to bring your ass home, Ginny. If you aren't home after 48 hours, I'm coming for both you and Malfoy and rest assured,q I'll do more than stun his ass. I'll obliterate him." he said looking straight into my eyes. He let go of me and disappeared.

I took off my shoes and ran back to the wedding and found Ron. I told him that Harry was in the castle under his invisibility cloak. He, Bill, Charlie, and some aurors went running out of the hall.

Mum was in the process of clearing out the hall and moving everyone to the quidditch pitch where we had planned for a more modern party for us after the reception, but that was ruined now. Hermione and Blaise looked at my now swollen face and lip. Draco was still knocked out laying on the table.

"He said he would kill him, Hermione. Bloody obliterate him was his words actually. If I don't go back to him in 48 hours. I can't escape him Hermione, I can't!" I yelled collapsing into a chair.

Blaise came over and cleaned the blood from off my face. "He isn't killing anyone Gin, and you are not going back to his ass. Absolutely not!"

"What can I do Blaise?! Every time I think I'm good, he finds me! He found me in Hogsmeade and he found me here! He won't stop looking for me Blaise! He ruined his best friends wedding because of me!"

"Harry is no friend of mine anymore Ginny. Nor of Ron's." said Hermione holding my hand. "And Blaise is right, you are not going back to him. And as soon as Malfoy comes to, you know he will tell you the same thing"

"I don't care what he tells me Hermione! I can't get him killed because of me! I...I. ..I love him too much to let that happen." I confessed.

"And he loves you too much to let you die for him, Red." said Blaise. "Because you know that'll happen if you go back to Potter. He isn't going to let you live."

I got up on the table and put Draco's head on my lap. I kept stroking his head and hair trying to get him to wake up. He had a horrid looking bump on his forehead.

His eyes started to move and his eyelids started to flutter. Blaise ran to get more ice and Hermione went to get a glass of water. Draco looked up at me, confused and in pain.

"What... the fuck happened?" he managed to get out.

"Harry stunned you Draco. And you fell and-"

"He stunned me? What the hell! Are you okay?! What happened to your face?! Why do you...ohhhhh shit..." He had sat up way too quick and had found himself dizzy.

"Focus on me Draco it's okay...you hit your head really hard so no fast movements okay?"

"Whatever whatever, just what happened to you? Are you okay?" said Draco looking directly at my swollen lip.

"I'll tell you later. Let's just focus on you right now. Please?" I begged him and started to cry, finding myself unable to stop.

Draco slowly scooted over to me. He put his arm on my shoulder and rubbed my arm. "I'm fine. Well, I'll be fine. What happened to YOU, Ginny?"

Before I could open my mouth to speak, Ron came busting in the hall along with two of his auror friends and Bill.

"He's gone. And we sent aurors to Grimmauld Place and he wasn't there either. There will be aurors on guard there in case he comes back" said Ron to Blaise.

He ran up to me and checked me out. "What happened? Did he say anythi- fuck did he hit you?!" he yelled as his eyes zeroed in on swollen lip.

"Never mind that. You have to find somewhere for Draco to go!"

"Oi! Somewhere for me to go?! What the hell for?" yelled Draco.

"Because I can't get away from him Draco! I can't fucking escape him! I'm trapped! And I've fucked up and brought you down with me!" I started yelling hysterically.

Rob shook me a bit trying to get me to snap out of my hysteria. "Gin please! What did he say?!"

"He...he said if I don't go back to him in two days he's going to kill Draco!"
