Moving Forward ch28
Disclaimer: J.K.R owns the rights to Harry Potter and I'm not her.
The wedding of Lavender Brown to Harry Potter was the social event of the year, possibly the decade. The guest list was a who's who of the wizarding world. Famous quidditch players like Oliver Wood and Victor Krum were seen mingling with membrrs of the wierd sisters. Healers like Poppy Pomfrey and Mitchell Jacobs were seen talking with business moguls like George Weasley and Stephan Blotts. King Ragnarok of the goblin nation and Dobry Free-Elf President of Elf services limited danced with the new Mrs. Potter, while Harry danced with a muggle woman and Lady Malfoy. The last decade had certainly brought changes to wizarding Britain.

Harry stood with Mitchell, George and Neville beside him. He was looking forward to being married but standing here while everyone took their seat made him nervous.
"So they can't regrow the hand. If he's ever allowed a wand again he's going to have to learn to cast left handed. His defense has told him to plead guilty because if he goes to trial he will likely get fifteen to twenty years in Azkaban. They are offering him eight years and three months plus ten years of monitored probation and he has to take a vow to no longer consume alcohol." George was saying.
"I'd be happy with a vow to leave me the hell alone." Harry said.
"Yeah but tossing around reductos in Diagon Alley, he could have accidentally killed a kid or something. He needs to be taught a lesson." Neville piped up.
"True." The others agreed.
The music was starting. Show time.
Victoir Weasley entered first tossing rose petals along the way. She was followed by a very spiffy Teddy wearing a little tuxedo similar to Harry's. He was sporting black messy hair and green eyes like Harry as well. Harry couldn't help but to choke up a little at the sight of his son.
Next came Hermione in a pale green dress that showed off her figure in a way seldom seen on the witch. Judging by the look on Mitchell's face she was going to get lucky later.
Next was a heavily pregnant Parvati No Name. That was a scandal still developing. She had fallen pregnant and when asked who the father was she had given fifteen names of men who were the possible father. He own father, a conservative Indian traditionalist had disowned her on the spot. She didn't know it yet but she would be leaving the reception Parvati Black. A disowned, unmarried witch was an endangered witch inspite of the changes in wizarding society.
Luna came next looking absolutely radiant. Her smile lit up the room. Typical Luna she winked and waved to many in the crowd.
Unfortunately for Luna the next face to come through the door made her look like a mountain troll by comparison.
Lavender was already tearing up as she approached Harry on her father's arm.
The next half hour was an absolute blur to Harry. He went from staring into the eyes of his future wife to kissing her amongst the cheers of the crowd.

Harry had planned the honeymoon with his wife's interests in mind. A week each in Paris, Milan, Rome, Prague and New York. Followed by two weeks at his Australian beach house. Hopefully she would reward him for all those fashion shows by letting him go fishing in the mornings, when he wasn't pleasuring her of course.

Lavender couldn't believe her husband. It was clear to her that he hated every single minute of these fashion shows. Yet, he sat there quietly, answered her questions, made fun of the clothes and smiled whenever she looked at her.
She was looking forward to seeing his face when they returned home. How could a woman top her husband making all of her dreams come true? Harry had not only given her permission to work, he created the magazine she had always dreamed of writing for. He even put a small nursery just off her office.
That was completely unfair there was nothing she could top that with. Except maybe the thirty five foot offshore fishing boat that slept four and had every bell and whistle known to muggle and magical kind. Berthed at his own private dock in Brighton.

Harry and Lavender Potter wish to announce the birth of their daughter Violet Andromeda Potter. She was born August 28th at 3:33 Am weighing 8lbs 3oz. She is in perfect health as is her mother. The godparents Mrs. Hermione Jacobs and Mr. George Weasley have already given their vows.

"Next taking over for Madam Hooch as flying instructor, let me introduce Harry Potter. He will also be first and second year defense. He is available for tutoring in defense and charms as he holds a mastery of both. For students doing self study in the muggle subjects, he is available for tutoring in maths. Later this year He and Professor Flitwick will be introducing a duelling club." Headmistress McGonagall yelled over the cheers.
