9. December 1999
Harry woke up with a start, he had had another nightmare: death eaters would invade their wedding and kill everyone except for him. He sat up in his bed, wiping away the sweat from his forehead with the back of his hands. He looked over at the clock on his nightstand and saw that it was 06.59. One minute until the alarm would go off. He shut the alarm off and looked around him.
The bedroom was empty, Ginny was staying over at Luna's as it was their wedding that day. He threw the duvet off him and walked over to one of the bathrooms of Grimmauld Place. He took a quick shower, put on a t-shirt, sweatpants and socks and raced down to the kitchen.
The morning went by slowly, but surely and at ten o'clock Harry had eaten breakfast, dressed himself in a tuxedo and had attempted and failed at taming his hair. Rom came around nine o'clock and had invited himself to eating half of the food in the fridge and then hastily written a best man speech down on a napkin.
"Are you ready to go, mate?" Harry asked when there was 45 minutes until the wedding started.
"Just a second, mate!" Ron shouted from the kitchen. There came a sharp sound, something had broken on the floor. The sound of a whispered spell chimed through the corridor and the painting of Mrs Black awoke in a start, screaming at the top of her lungs.
Ron ran out of the kitchen with a baguette and a burrito and attempted to shut Mrs Black up.
"Blood traitor! How dare you stay in my home?" screeched Mrs Black at the both of them.
"Muffliato." Harry pointed his wand at the painting and Mrs Black was muted for every other person than herself.
Harry and Ron apparated to Godric's Hollow's church where Lily, James, Sirius, Remus, the priest, Mr and Mrs Weasley were discussing small details about the ceremony. They had already dressed into suits and dresses.
Lily was the one who first noticed Harry and Ron and ran over to her son, engulfing him in a bone-crushing hug and whispered into his ear, "I'm so glad to be here. I'm so proud of you, Harry."
Harry smiled. "I'm glad you're here too."
"Way to exclude us!" chorused the remainder of the Marauders, joining in on the hug.
Almost an hour later, Harry and his mother walked down the aisle hand in hand telling each other dry jokes, "Why did Mozart kill his chicken?" Lily asked Harry.
"Because they didn't sing in tune?" Harry suggested.
Lily suppressed a laugh and said, "No, they kept saying Bach! Bach! Bach!"
Harry started silently laughing and after a couple of jokes later, the mother and son parted and Harry stood by the aisle all alone, waiting for his bride. Before he knew it, the three bridesmaids, Hermione, Luna and Fleur walked down the aisle in lavender lace dresses, holding bouquets of lavender flowers.
Behind the bridesmaids walked Ginny in a white lace gown with a V-cut, her hair was swept back in a neat knot-like bun with a lace veil attached. By her side walked Mr Weasley proudly with shining eyes.
Ginny smiled widely, not just with her mouth, but also with her eyes. Her eyes were smiling like never before.
When Ginny and Mr Weasley reached Harry, Mr Weasley let go of Ginny and gave her to Harry.
The priest waited a minute or two for the people to go silent.
He then spoke, "We are gathered here today to unite Ginny Weasley and Harry Potter in the pact of love."

Ginny walked back and forth in the bathroom impatiently. On the sink was a white plastic muggle thing she didn't quite understand, but had bought as she didn't have the time nor will to brew the potion.
The previous weeks, she had felt strangely I'll and tired, she had not dared to mention any of this to anyone unless she threw up with them in the same room. She didn't want anyone to expect there to be something happening when there was a chance for there not being anything at all.
It was the middle of the day on a regular Wednesday and Ginny had a day free from Quidditch. Harry was as usual at work and Sirius was shopping for hair products in London. As Grimmauld Place technically was Sirius's and Harry's, and Sirius couldn't get a place to live as people still didn't trust him after that Azkaban period of his life, he too had lived in the old house from time to time.
What if she wasn't pregnant? Ginny felt her heart sink as she actually wished for herself and Harry to start a family. But, what if she was pregnant? She started hyperventilating and didn't know why because she really wanted to be pregnant. Her mind raced to the thought of her becoming a mother and she felt euphoria spreading through her body for a mere second. Her mind then jumped to the conclusion of her becoming a terrible mother and the euphoria immediately left her body just as fast as it had spread.
Rubbing her eyes, she decided she needed to think positive and not jump to the negative immediately. She continued walking back and forth in the bathroom muttering positive things to herself. This went on for several minutes until the required waiting time for the test had passed.
She picked up the tiny white pregnancy test from the sink and looked and looked at the two red lines on the test in disbelief. Her entire body was shaking and she sat down on the floor crying happy tears.
She didn't sit there for long though, a terrible idea sprung to her mind and she immediately found her wand and stuffed the pregnancy test in her sweatpants'pocket and apparated directly to the Ministry of Magic.
She knew Harry and his auror colleagues ate lunch at that exact time and she decided to just go through with her idea. Running to the lifts, she felt the news sink in more and more and she could once again feel the euphoria in her body spread as happy tears still rolled down her cheeks.
The lifts arrived almost as soon as she had called for it by clicking the button that called the lifts. The lift was to her surprise, empty. Shrugging, she pushed the button for the auror department and the doors to the lift closed.
When she arrived at her destination, her cheeks were completely wet from all the tears and it reflected the light from the ceilings. She reached the usually crowded lunch room and searched for her husband with no luck.
She turned to the closest person she could find, which coincidentally was her brother, Ron who had gone back to the auror department after Fred was resurrected. "Have you seen Harry?" She asked him, not bothering to wipe the tears away.
Ron swallowed a big bite of chicken nuggets and replied, "Yeah, he's in a meeting with Kingsley, the Prime Minister, James and Hermione. Why?"
"Let's just say that I have to deliver a message to Harry. Where's the meeting?" she said, wondering what the heads of the auror apartment, the Minister for Magic, his secretary and the prime Minister were having a meeting about.
"Kingsley's office." Ron answer before Ginny once again ran off to the lifts and disappeared.
As she hadn't been gone for long, the lift was still where she had left it. She ran into the lift, pushed the button to the Minister's floor where she had been once before. The lift was fast and within about thirty seconds, she arrived at her desired floor.
She ran across the corridor at the speed of light and soon arrived at door to the Minister's office. Without knocking, she burst into the room, where she sure enough saw her husband, the Minister for Magic, Hermione, James and the Prime Minister.
They turned their heads around surprised to see Ginny screaming at the top of her lungs to Harry, "I'M PREGNANT!"
Harry just stood to his ground with furrowed eyebrows in shock before he ran over to Ginny and kissed her on the lips. "It's mine right?" Harry joked with a grin.
Ginny started laughing, "Of course it is!"
James and Hermione came over to the couple and congratulated them while the ministers loudly cleared their throats, indicating for the meeting to continue.
Ginny fished out the pregnancy test from her sweatpants' pocket and quickly gave it to her husband before running out of the office, the smile never leaving her face.
