A/N Well a moment a long time in coming (like chapter 5 of Amy's Time at Hogwarts) has arrived the much anticipated Wedding of Fred Weasley and Angelina Johnson.
Chapter Ten A Wedding Disaster
Two Days later everyone using what they could Floo Powdered from the Burrow to the Puddlemere Inn where Angelina usually stayed when she was playing Quidditch on her home court.
"Ok I expect that everyone will be on their very best behavior for this oh so special occasion," Molly said with a particular glance at George. Angelina happened to walk out right then.
"Oh hi gang. I didn't figure your whole group would be arriving at once. I reserved pretty much the entire Inn for you all."
"You didn't have to Angelina," Molly said.
"Well my family is staying at the Wyndham," Angelina said. "We will have to be careful of course due to there being ordinary people around."
"So no fancy tricks huh Angelina," Amy said.
Prof Harrington happened to walk by right then her son Olivier.
"Hi Professor, Olivier," Amy said.
"Miss Potter, Miss Suta-Raito, Miss Weasley, Where is Mr. Flint?"
"He isn't with us," Amy said.
Angelina then walked right over.
"You must be Harry and Ginny's foster child Shiki?"
"Not exactly," Shiki said. "I am Shiki but I'm not a foster care placement."
"You going to help Amy the next time she tries to set off stink bombs in the Chemistry lab?" Angelina wondered. (A/N translate into wizard as Dung Bombs in the Potions Dungeon)
"Couldn't tell you," Shiki responded.
"For the record Angelina is Emily's mom," Amy told her.
"Nice to meet you," Shiki added.
Angelina then handed out the room assignments. Amy and Shiki ended up rooming with Katie Bell's eight year old daughter Elizabeth.
"So you two play Quidditch at all?" Elizabeth wondered.
"I don't. If I hadn't transferred to Hogwarts I probably would have," Shiki said.
"I'm the current Keeper for Gryffindor," Amy said.
"Neat. What do you use for a broom?"
"A Thunderstick," Amy replied.
"Man those are expensive I asked my mom for one but they didn't want to spend the money right now. I'm flying a Nimbus 2003 and it's too slow a broom," Elizabeth said. I'd prefer something more modern like a Firebolt 6. "
"My parents got it for me for my birthday and I was expecting maybe a Lightning 100. AS it is I ended up instrumental in Thundersticks even being authorized for use by students at Hogwarts."
"I'm sure you will manage something in a few years," Shiki told her. "Good as the Brooms here in Britain are the Top Selling Japanese Model is the Senshi 480."
A Short while later Amy was glancing at a Catalog she had found in her bag of stuff she had picked up at Quality Quidditch Supplies when she did her Christmas Shopping. She was looking at the Advertisements for the Brooms available. She found that a Firebolt 6 at the time the catalog was published was selling for 200 Galleons. A Nimbus 2008 was only 150 Galleons. Both were marked at almost clearance pricing. Once it was dark Amy walked over to Edgar's cage.
"Hey buddy, Got a job for you. I want you to take this letter to The Quidditch Shop in Diagon Alley."
"Where did you get your owl from?" Elizabeth wondered.
"HE was a friend of mine's but when she accidentally drowned He chose me. Shiki got her backpack the same way," Amy said.
"Why were you owling a Quidditch Store?"
"I wanted to double check the prices of some stuff in my catalog," Amy told her.
That day was tied up with the rehearsal which George tried to liven up a little only to get a mean scowl from Molly. The Dinner that night wasn't bad either For that Dress Robes were sufficient. When Amy got back to the room it was dark and Edgar was waiting.
"Dear Miss Potter
Both Brooms are discontinued and have already been sold out. Right now We are having our After Christmas Sale in which all brooms are 35-40% off with Free Shipping. All Quidditch Robes are 25% off and All Accessories are 20% off. The prices in the catalog are still in effect. Since it just came out in November. If you should decide to order anything just send me an owl."
"Amy what is up your sleeve?" Shiki wondered.
"Nothing really I was just thinking about Elizabeth," Amy said.
"No Amy I wouldn't. Her mom may not like it. She already said that Elizabeth couldn't have one."
"She said Her parents didn't want to spend the money. There is a difference. Besides Her parents wouldn't be spending the money. I would."
"Still I don't think it's a good idea Amy. You need what money you have for school"
"Shiki, I'd barely make a dent in my money. Besides dad usually pays for books and so forth. All I usually have to pay for are things from the Apothecary," Amy insisted.
Later that night Amy secretly sent an owl to the Store ordering A Firebolt 7 to be delivered to Elizabeth's house. On sale it was only 174 Galleons.
The next Day was the Wedding Itself. Amy spent an hour getting her Reddish Brown hair just right after She put her Formal Robes on. Everyone then headed for the Local Wizarding Meeting Hall where the Wedding was to take place. Amy noticed how Elizabeth's Robes were a little worn. That of course made her feel slightly better about her decision. When they arrived at the Hall Things were in a Frenzy.
"Amy, we have a small problem. My Junior Attendant is sick. It's not likely she will be able to take part," Angelina said in a near panic.
"Not good Angelina. Is there anything I or Shiki can do to help out?" Amy wondered.
"Shiki I don't think so but You on the other hand being the good niece you are?" Angelina hinted.
"Show me the way Angelina." Amy commented.
She was lead to a big room Where Professor Harrington, Carleen's Mom, Mrs. Conner (Elizabeth's mom), and the other members of the Bridal party were working away. Emily and another girl were also on hand.
"OK That crisis is solved. I'm sure everyone recognizes who this is," Angelina said.
"I may know who she is but I'm not sure?" Mrs. Conner said.
"Katie, That's Harry and Ginny's daughter Amy," Professor Harrington said.
"Oh, WE never actually met that might be why I wasn't sure who she was."
"By chance my friend Shiki and I are rooming with Elizabeth."
"Interesting," Katie said.
After three long boring Hours of preparation Everyone was lined up. During that time Amy had asked Carleen's mom where Carleen was.
"She is coming later," Mrs. Wood explained.
Another useless hour of standing around waiting then took place when everyone started to walk toward the Room where the Wedding would actually take place. The various members of the Groom's party were waiting nearby with Fred safely in the Room off to one side. Amy and Emily went in behind the other girl who was apparently the flower girl followed closely behind by the Ring Bearer. The adults then entered first with Katie almost tripping on the hem of her robes.
Fairly soon everyone was in place as the Organist played the all important tune with which Angelina walked in looking really nice. Amy glanced over and for the first time Realized that Professor Dumbledore himself was standing in the important position before the Courtiers Without too much trouble Angelina managed to make it too the altar.
"Dearly Beloved we are standing here today to join this man and this woman in matrimony. It is a time in which in the wizarding world not only can too people but sometimes two families aree united. Due to the presence of people from the outside world today we are not going to be doing some of the traditional ceremonial things like the Lighting of the wands that is done at most ceremonies in the wizarding world. Let us get on with the Ceremony," Dumbledore said.
The Ceremony went on for a good hour. Amy of course was quickly bored such that she almost wished someone would give her the full body bind. Finally everything ended.
"Glad that's over," Amy muttered as she paraded out with everyone else. They then headed for the Hotel where the Wizarding Guests were taken by Floo Powder to The Leaky Cauldron for the Reception. Luckily only a small handful were Muggles. Neville and a couple staff members were waiting with small brooms to brush the soot off the guests. Amy ended up standing around yet another area waiting for the Parade into the room the reception was taking place in. George during the wait was handing out a few snacks. Amy suspecting what was up declined. Of course one of Angelina's brides maids ended up in feathers since she didn't realize what was up. An usher ended up acting like a monkey as well. Molly of course hid her face in shame. Finally Everyone paraded in. Amy was shown to a seat not too far from the Head table. She glanced up to see who was waiting for her.
"Marcus, this is certainly a surprise."
"Tell me about it. Here I am waxing my broom when an owl appears telling me to be at the Leaky Cauldron at 7PM in Formal robes which I just happened to have a set of. My dad was wondering what was up and I told him I had no idea. Your hair does look lovely tonight."
"Ladies and Gentlemen, It was at the last minute that Amy ended up part of the Wedding Party but she performed her duties admirably," Dumbledore said. "Things do happen and I hope Alicia Wood the niece of Former Gryffindor Captain Oliver Wood recovers nicely from her sudden illness."
"Anything good on the dinner menu?"
"Standard wedding fare of chicken or beef I think. I put in for chicken since the beef is usually as tough as shoe leather," Amy told him.
The Dinner part went well and before anyone realized it Fred and Angelina were getting ready to cut the cake. Just as Fred was getting to the middle of the first cut into the cake the whole thing exploded. George was having an impossible time keeping a straight face. Of course everyone was covered in bits of cake. You could almost see the steam coming out of Molly's ears from the cake exploding. The veins in her forehead were also quite prominent. Her face in addition was so red that it looked like she was about to explode herself.
"You two just don't give up do you Fred," Angelina hissed.
"I had nothing to do with it Angelina," Fred attempted to explain.
"Yeah right," Angelina growled.
"I would never do anything to ruin today," Fred insisted. "Come on Angelina you ended up waiting way too long for this day. You have to admit it was funny."
"Maybe to you but not to me," Angelina said. She then doubled over in pain. Katie and Alicia ran over along with Angelina's mother.
"Someone get a doctor," Katie called.
"Mom," Emily cried from the head table where she was sitting. Sadia quickly reached over and placed a hand on the frightened girl's shoulder.
Shortly after that a doctor popped into being.
"Where is the patient?" he inquired.
"Over here," Alicia called out.
"What is the patients name?"
"Angelina Johnson-Weasley," Angelina managed to say.
"Where do you hurt?" the doctor wondered.
Over in here," Angelina said indicating her lower abdomen. HE carefully checked her over.
"This isn't good. I'll need room to work," the doctor said.
"What is wrong with me?" Angelina wondered.
"Right now it looks like it might be time," the doctor said.
"Now but It wasn't supposed to happen for two more months," Angelina said.
"Katie, maybe you all should sit down Fred this goes for you as well," Angelina's mother said.
"What will we do about a cake thanks to my brother we are lacking one," Fred commented.
"Leave that to me," Mrs. Johnson said as she twirled her wand around the room and within seconds a fairly good cake appeared on everyone's plate. Three hours later after most of the guests except the Harringtons, the Johnsons, the Conners and the Extended Weasley clan had left Angelina was able to relax.
"He looks so cute," Fred indicated.
"That he does," Angelina said. "I just hope he manages to live a long healthy life. Emily darling come here."
Emily walked over with Amy, Marcus, and Shiki next to her.
"What do you think of your baby brother?"
"HE looks so small?"
"That's kind of too be expected since he is two whole months premature. He will need a lot of care if he is too survive," Angelina said.
"He is about the only good thing to come out of today when you think about it," Fred Commented.
Marcus meanwhile had walked over to the band and spoke to them for a minute. A Soft slow song then started up a few seconds later. Marcus then walked back over to Amy.
"May I have this dance?"
"Sure," Amy said.
Shortly after that the majority of the remaining guests were dancing away. Emily sat off to one side with her brother.
"Marcus, you are certainly a good dancer," Amy commented. "I must not have noticed during the Valentine Ball."
"I always feel I have to dance at these things. Amy, would you be willing to accompany me to the next one?"
"Sure," Amy said. Meanwhile Angelina was dancing with Fred.
"Fred, What are going to name our son?"
"I don't know. Emily certainly likes him," Fred commented as he watched Their oldest child sing a soothing lullaby to her brother in time to the music. AS the song ended Marcus and Amy were almost liplocked.
Closing Notes. You will learn the name of their latest child next chapter. If you are wondering why no mention of Angelina being pregnant was made even in the previous fic it's because I didn't make that decision until I was writing the scene since I wanted to add to the theme for the chapter.
