Chapter Nineteen: The Wedding

Weeks leading up where now over in just seven days Harry would be a married man and he loved the feeling he had been officially named Dumbledore's assistant, he was going to have a daughter soon and he had his parents and godfather back. Yet he missed something he had Ignotus a while now but missed Hedwig his oldest friend in the wizarding world and thought of the veil worked on owls but sadly found out it didn't.

"Harry there's a package for you on the table from Dumbledore." Ginny shouted up to him as he woke up and went to the kitchen table where a small box was waiting. A letter addressed to him was on it.

Harry

Fawkes has had a burning day but mysteriously burst into two Phoenixes.

I have entrusted one to you.

Feel free to name it how you like and remember; this Phoenix will help you for life.

Regards

Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore.

"Wow, my own Phoenix perfect." Harry said opening the box containing a featherless chick.

"Must be a weird thing for a Phoenix to split in two like that, wonder why it happened." Ginny said looking at the chick and smiling.

"I think I'll call him Inferno." Harry said stroking and feeding the weak chick.

"Cool name." Ginny said feeding the chick and leaving the room for a moment.

"Yep, Ron kept yapping about the Inferno broomsticks to me last week." Harry said reading the Daily Prophet and examining an article about James Potter; the new Quidditch correspondent for the Prophet. "Knew he was going for the job, he kept mentioning it last week."

"So…Harr can we use today to discuss something important?" Ginny asked, re-entering the room and looking concerned.

"Of course we can Gin." Harry said sitting down.

"I'm scared of losing you." Ginny said softly.

"Losing me? Ginny you'll never lose me I love you." Harry said holding her hand in his.

"I mean…like if you died." Ginny said tears slowly coming outing of her eyes.

"Gin…the dangers are gone they're all in Azkaban or dead now." Harry said now holding Ginny in his arms to reassure her.

"I'm being silly I know…but I look at some people who lost their spouses and I couldn't cope." Ginny said burying her head in Harry's chest.

"I promise I'll never do anything dangerous if I can help it but…we both know I will always have something to do with everything bad in the wizarding world." Harry said trying to soothe her. 'Why can't I just have a normal life no Elder Wand, no ancestors of Deathly Hallows and no worries?" Harry thought to himself.

"Do you regret ever falling in love Harry?" Ginny asked looking at the look of horror on his face as she had said it.

"Never Ginny, I love you so much if I didn't have you when the battle ended I would have wanted to die." Harry said kissing her cheek.

"Good enough for me mate." Ginny said in George's voice revealing George was using Transfiguration to mimic Ginny's body.

"GEORGE YOU COMPLETE ARSE!" Ginny said coming in to the room.

"Sorry Gin couldn't resist having a laugh. Besides me and Fred needing to test the new product 'timed Polyjuice potion' it can mimic for as long as you want." George said laughing loudly at Harry and Ginny's faces.

"I will kill you and Fred. I just caught him acting like Harry when I went to kiss him he quickly changed back and left." Ginny said holding her wand in her hand.

"Now sis…you wouldn't hurt me and Fred…would you?" George asked grabbing her in a hug and winking to Harry.

"I guess not but I can write to Katie and Angelina saying no sex for a year." Ginny said smiling at her brother who now was horrified by his sister's evil.

"Oh Merlin please don't Gin…I'll give you and Harry a lifetime supply of WWW products." George said trying to bribe her.

"Harry already has a lifetime supply George." Ginny said with a wide smile.

"No pranks for a year…final offer." George said choking back a tear from the thoughts between sex and pranks.

"Okay deal!" Ginny and Harry said together.

The next four days flew by leaving Harry's stag party ready to go. He was nervous because Bill, Fred and George were planning it and he couldn't help but think that revenge for a pregnancy was due.

"Hey sis, is Harr ready for his last night of freedom?" George asked looking happy.

"Yes. So what's the plan for him?" She asked looking at her wand.

"That my sister is top secret information." Bill said appearing in his favourite dragon-skin jacket.

"Well no duels at least." Ginny said in a low voice.

"Never again, not after the pain I caused you and Harry…I still see Teddy getting hurt sometimes." Bill said looking down so he didn't have to look at Ginny.

"I understand Bill…I do sometimes as well." Ginny said hugging him.

Harry entered the room and left with the lads kissing Ginny goodbye and seeing a Portkey set up knew he was going to have a wild night. "Umm…where are we going?" He asked looking nervous.

"You'll see." Bill said holding on they all disappeared in the blue flash appearing at the cottage in Godric's Hollow. "We thought just a few of us having a quiet drink is in order." Bill said looking happy with the idea.

Harry was shocked to see only a few people and a lot of alcohol in the house all the women were with Ginny for her Hen-night so Harry was drinking with Sirius, James, Arthur and all his sons, Neville, Dean, Seamus and Cedric. The table was lined with muggle beer and Firewhiskey 'no kiddie drinks tonight' Harry thought and instantly went for his Firewhiskey and heard his father and Sirius start with embarrassing stories of his youth.

"And then Harr and Padfoot tried to run after like a knight on a horse." James said laughing showing the bite mark.

"I didn't try and bite you but you had that damn dog whistle with you." Sirius said laughing just as hard.

"So Harr used to use Sirius as a bloody horse? Priceless…man you must have a good back Sirius." Seamus said drinking a muggle beer and laughing.

"Yes and James taught him to pull my fur to go faster." Sirius said looking at James.

"It's amazing…"

"…we're drinking…"

"…with the real…"

"…marauders." Fred and George said looking awe stricken.

"How did you two know…the map, you stole it from Filch."

"We solemnly swear that we are up to no good." The twins said in unison.

"Shit. I knew we should've destroyed the map." James said looking worried.

"Harry has it Mr. Potter." Ron said pulling it out of Harry's pocket.

"Ah my first evil creation that and the dungbomb we designed with a timer in Filch's office in our seventh year." James said holding the map and activating it.

"When is it supposed to go off?" Harry asked looking amazed at the old prank.

"When I utter the incantation...he is in his office so I guess now, Erípe stercus." James said and laughed thinking of all the dungbomb smell in Filch's office.

"Dad, aren't you and Padfoot a bit old for pranks now?" Harry said trying not to laugh at the idea of dungbomb contents all over Filch and Mrs. Norris.

"Never will be young Prongs. You my son need a course in it when you take you position as assistant to the Minister of Magic." James said drinking muggle beer with Sirius.

The rest of the night was spent with fun and games and a race between Harry, James and Sirius in their Animagus forms from the house to the church and back which Harry narrowly won thanks to a last minute gallop to the finish line helped seal his victory. Then the news hit that Neville was offered a position at Hogwarts teaching assistant to Professor Sprout which he loved as he was always the Herbology expert. Lily arrived at 1am to tell Harry that Ginny was asleep and that for the next couple of days he would live with his parents until the marriage.

"Oh my head, I'm never drinking again." Harry said getting up and walking to the kitchen.

"Morning son, I see the hangover is setting in nicely." James said laughing at his son while clutching his own head tightly. "Never drinking with Padfoot again…we decided to fit over two decades of missed drinking into a single night." James said now uncorking two vials and handing one to Harry to drink. "Hangover be-gone potion, very bloody handy, Fred and George have some amazing ideas at their disposal."

"Yeah it's handy alright." Harry said downing the vial and instantly feeling better. "Remind me to kill the Weasley brothers after the wedding."

"Ha-ha not able to drink like that Harr?" James asked mockingly.

"Well I was drinking Firewhiskey not muggle beer dad." Harry said proudly.

"Yes I know but to be fair in the time we've been back your mother and I have never gotten drunk and after last night I may never do again." James said cooking breakfast for the three of them as Lily appeared and downed a vial on the table.

"Oh thank Merlin for that!" Lily said now looking her usual cheery self. "So darling you and Harry have to talk so, I'll eat in the Burrow with Molly and Ginny." Lily said kissing Harry on the cheek and kissing James.

"What did mom mean 'have to talk'?" Harry asked looking confused.

"Oh well your mother and I think that me and you should have a man to man talk…about sex." James said uncomfortably.

"Oh…do we have to?" Harry asked looking just as uneasy as James.

"Yes Harr we do." James said sitting down. "So I obviously know you and Ginny are having sex as she is pregnant and you told me yourself. So do you need to know anything intimate that you don't know?"

"No dad I'm fine. Me and Ginny have a healthy sex life and will keep it forever." Harry said getting uncomfortable.

"Well what I mean is will you be able to have sex on your honeymoon?" James asked looking redder than Ron.

"Yes, we asked Parvati and she told us if we're very careful." Harry said and asked his dad to drop it.

"Not yet Harr…do you really love this girl?" James asked looking serious.

"More than life itself." Harry said remembering all the fun they had since the war ended.

"I'm glad son. I just had to ask." James said eating a bacon sandwich.

The day of the wedding had finally arrived and Harry was nervous about it all. "What if I mess up my vows, what if I can't keep my promises? Oh Merlin I'm freaking out!" Harry said to his mirror.

"Harry James Potter; Saviour of the wizarding world, defeater of Riddle and winner of the 1994 Tri-wizard tournament, is afraid of marriage?" James asked hugging his son.

"Terrified, right now I'd rather face another dragon or another Dementor swarm." Harry said trying to fix his tux for the wedding.

"Come here I have something for you." James said leading him into the bedroom. "Here." James said handing Harry a box containing a necklace with a Peverell family coat of arms.

"Is this for Ginny to wear?" Harry asked looking at it.

"Yes it is. I gave it to your mother when we married and when we went into hiding we stored it in Hogwarts for safety and now you can give it to Ginny to wear." James said a tear in his eye. "I only got you back now I'm losing you again."

"You're losing me to a beautiful woman who is just like mom." Harry said hugging James tightly.

"So let's eat then go to Hogwarts to finally get you married." James said ushering his son to the kitchen.

"Morning honey, are you nervous?" Lily asked putting a breakfast of sausages, bacon, pudding and eggs in front of him. He nodded and began eating. "So tell us where the honeymoon is?"

"Can't tell I'm bound to a vow; if I tell anyone before the wedding…I'll break out in fur for a year." Harry said eating his breakfast not daring to break the vow.

"Okay…either Ginny is a master of the Cruciatus or you can't keep a secret to save your life." Lily said nudging Harry's arm and smiling.

"A bit of both really." Harry said laughing and thinking of his bride to be.

"You miss her, don't you son." James said looking at Harry.

"Yeah, I miss just holding her close and falling asleep with her in my arms." Harry said fixing his tux for the hundredth time in a row.

"You're a real romantic son." Lily said hugging him tightly and crying. "I can't believe my baby is going to be married in a few hours."

"I know but I'll always be near you." Harry said hugging Lily tightly. "This is a dream come true for me…I never thought I'd have my mom crying on my wedding day."

"Well let's get going." James said revealing a flying car.

Arriving in Hogwarts Harry was amazed by the open space the once table filled Great Hall had become filled with flowers and beautiful white doves. The teacher's table had been set up for the happy couple and family and all the chairs in two rows Harry knew he was ready as Dumbledore took his place in fine dress robes with his half-moon spectacles and pointed hat smiling at Harry. The ceremony began once everyone took their seats Harry saw the Dursley's with the Potter's and all his old teachers and Quidditch teammates and many shop owners from Diagon Alley while Ginny's side was filled with redheads Harry assumed were Weasley's and other members he believed to be Prewett's from Molly's side of the family. Harry then saw Ginny coming down the aisle wearing a beautiful white gown and Muriel's goblin made tiara which sat perfectly on her head.

"Welcome all, it is with great pleasure we sit here today to join Harry James Potter to Ginevra Molly Weasley in holy matrimony. The couple has written their vows to each other which they will now say to each other Ms. Weasley will begin." Dumbledore said holding his hand to Ginny.

"Harry, for as long as I known you I loved you more than words could describe, if my brothers told me one day I'd marry Harry Potter in Hogwarts I would have hexed them so badly they'd look like gnomes," Everyone chuckled loudly. "But when I saw you after the battle you told me you wanted a chance to love me properly and Harry I told you I would always give you my love and I will until my last breath." She said looking in his green eyes.

"Ginny when I first met you properly in the Burrow I saw a little nervous girl who put her elbow in the butter," all the Weasley brothers laughed. "And I knew that you had a crush on me but I never knew the feeling of love and thought I just loved you like a sister but when you were trapped in the Chamber of Secrets I nearly died and when I left for my mission I thought only of you and how I loved you and I promise I will love you until I leave this world when I'm 112 or whatever age I live till." He said holding her hands and smiling.

"I will now ask you to present your rings." Dumbledore said asking Teddy for them and taking them and rewarding the boy with some chocolate. "Now place each other's ring on the opposite's finger." Both of them complied and a band of warmth fell over them. "You are now bonded and may kiss." Dumbledore said smiling as they entered a loving embrace.

"So now, where's the honeymoon?" Ginny asked looking happy.

"In Holyhead where the Harpies are wondering if after you have the baby and recover you will consider playing for them." Harry said smiling and kissing his wife.

The party was great many people and students congratulated the couple and everyone including her parents kept calling Ginny; Mrs. Potter, which she loved and then by the end of the night Harry and Ginny kissed Teddy bye-bye and left for Holyhead where Ginny was anxious to meet the Harpies.

"Have a nice time you two." Lily, James, Molly and Arthur said together.
