Pairing: Oliver Wood and Dolly Masbrig

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~ Dolly was flying to England to be in her best friend's wedding. She couldn't have been happier for Alyssa, but she couldn't help but to feel a bit out of place. Alyssa had already been in England for a couple months so she already knew the people there, but Dolly would be a bit of a loner because she didn't know anyone.

Alyssa's family would be flying in later that week, but Dolly was sure that her mom didn't completely support Alyssa's bold move to England. Mostly because it was so far away, but also because she moved in with a man she'd only known for six months, and Dolly wasn't sure if her mom even liked Fred. Sighing one last sigh of self-pity Dolly stepped off the plane and into the London airport.

Dolly didn't know what to expect in way of who'd be waiting for her. Alyssa had mentioned wanting to introduce her to a guy she'd meet through her fiancé Fred and his twin George. Smiling broadly when she saw Alyssa standing between two redheads and a brunette on one end, Dolly called, "Alyssa!"

"Doll!!" Alyssa called smiling brightly. "This is George, Fred and Oliver." She said when Dolly got closer to them.

"Nice to finally meet you. Alyssa hasn't stop talking about you since she first set eyes on you back in Tacoma." Dolly replied causing Alyssa to glare at her. "What it's true."

Alyssa just stuck her tongue out at her best friend and replied, "Now that we've finished that bundle of joy called introductions I wanna take Dolly shopping with me."

"Right, we'll gather your things." Fred grinned enjoying Alyssa's enthusiasm knowing that she missed her best friend. Because they were now living across the ocean, they couldn't talk as often as they had the previous year when Alyssa was living in Tacoma.

"Thanks. You're a doll." Alyssa grinned at her fiancé before giving him a parting kiss. "We'll meet back at the house?" Of course neither waited for a response before walking away talking to one another animatedly. ~

Stories in his eyes Love for every true heart that it sees Was it just a lucky day That he turned and looked my way Or is it heaven right before my very eyes //

"Hello sweetie." Oliver called to his lovely wife who was holding their little girl, Willow.

"Hello Oliver how was your day?" She asked putting Willow down before kissing him on the lips.

"Great. How's Willow?" He asked picking her up then kissing his baby's forehead.

"Great!" Willow replied causing both proud parents to smile.

"It seems that 'great' was predestined to be her first word." Dolly replied causing Oliver to laugh slightly. Rolling her eyes she asked, "So what do you want for dinner?"

// He showed me all new things A shimmer of blue greens I was blind but now he's helped me see I was lost but now I'm found His happiness surrounds And now I find that my dreams can come true //

During dinner Oliver could tell that something was on Dolly's mind. "What's on your mind honey?"

"Just thinking about when we first met." She answered smiling slightly.

"I remember it well." Oliver replied beginning to think about it too.

// 'Cause I'm gonna love you For the rest of my life I'm holding you safe here In this heart of mine //

~ Time seemed to fly by and before anyone realized it was Alyssa's and Fred's wedding. Dolly, dressed in a stunning blue dress, was helping Alyssa get into her wedding dress. "Are you ready for this?" Dolly asked smiling.

"I don't know." Alyssa answered biting the inside of her lip. "Did we really expect me to ever get married?"

Dolly laughed, "Not really. But we're happy you are."

Alyssa stuck her tongue out before asking, "So what do you think of Oliver?"

"NO!"

"What?"

"You're not setting me up at your wedding."

"I wasn't planning on it, it was just a question." Alyssa denied holding both hands in the air as if surrendering.

"Denial isn't a good look on you Alyssa." Dolly countered.

"Whatever." Alyssa replied rolling her eyes. "Is it time?" She asked when her father, James, walked in.

"Yes." James replied smiling brightly. He was happy Alyssa found someone, but hoped that Dolly (his sergeant daughter) would find someone too. ~

// I can't live without you 'Cause my soul would die You know I'm telling the truth I'll spend the rest of my life Loving you //

"Remember how we didn't truly see each other until the wedding?" Dolly asked before picking up the dishes to put them into the dishwasher.

"I noticed you when you stepped off the plane." Oliver admitted.

"Really?"

"Yes."

"Why didn't you say anything?"

"I figured you would think of me as the third wheel between you and Alyssa. She was the first person to see me as something other than the Weasley's friend or the Quidditch hero. But as a friend." He replied.

"That sounds like Alyssa." Dolly replied smiling proudly at her friend.

// It didn't start this way

It happened just one day He smiled at me and I saw you differently //

~ Dolly walked in front of Alyssa and James towards the doors leading outside. It was a lovely spring day in the countryside of London and Alyssa was extremely happy for the good weather. Not that she would have minded the rainy weather, but as it was her wedding day it should be perfect.

Just at the doorway, Dolly saw George standing next to his wife Angelina and Oliver looking very dashing in his black suit. He turned and looked directly at Dolly and smiled warmly. It was then that Dolly knew. There was something truly special about Oliver Wood. ~

// Now I would tremble just to be Apart of you as 'we' Begin a life that sure to never end //

~ At the reception they couldn't help but to dance several dances with each other in fact they hardly left the other's side.

"What did I tell you?" Alyssa grinned knowingly when she found a moment where Dolly was without Oliver.

"Shut up. I hate it when you're right." Dolly replied trying to scowl at her best friend but failed miserably. "Alright, there's definitely something special about him."

"And you've got until you leave to find out. Who knows maybe you'll find love like I did." Alyssa winked as Oliver walked back towards the two friends with Fred. ~

// 'Cause I'm gonna love you For the rest of my life

I'm holding you safe here

In this heart of mine //

~ Almost a year and six months later, Alyssa was right; Oliver and Dolly were getting married. Alyssa already had Trinity a little over a month before the scheduled wedding.

Alyssa couldn't have been happier for her best friend. Although it had surprised her that Dolly left a week and a half after the wedding without so much of a good-bye to anyone. Not that Alyssa or Fred were in England, but Alyssa thought she'd see Dolly before she left to go back to the states.

She later found out that Oliver and Dolly had a fight and when she confronted Oliver about it he told her to 'stay out of it'. Well needless to say Alyssa blew her top and Oliver was on the first plane trip to Arizona to win Dolly's heart.

He came back two months later with Dolly at his side. They'd had a decent engagement period, but they were finally going to say 'I do'. ~

// I can't live without you 'Cause my soul would die //

"Do you remember your vows?" Oliver asked as he held Dolly close as they lay in bed next to each other.

"I do." She answered leaning into his strong embrace.

// You know I'm telling the truth I'll spend the rest of my life Loving you //

~ "Oliver and Dolly have decided to read their own vows." The priest replied towards the end of the ceremony. "Oliver would you like to begin?"

Oliver nodded looked deep into Dolly's green eyes. "I never thought my heart could feel so much love for someone as special as you. We started out, as strangers meeting for a friends wedding, became friends and then lovers. Our journey has been one heck of a ride, and I can't wait to see what's to come. Words couldn't do justice to show how I feel that you picked me. I make this promise to you in front of our friends and family that I will love you always." He replied smiling softly.

"Dolly would you like to begin."

Dolly had happy tears in her eyes when she heard what Oliver said. "I never thought this day would come, but I'm happy that I found you to share the rest of my life with. I remember when I first noticed that there was something special about you, it was when you turned and smiled at me. I felt something so powerful that I've been trying to figure out what it was. But I realize today, right now that I will love you for the rest of my days because without you I'm incomplete." ("AWWWWW!")

"Do you Oliver Wood take Dolly Masbrig to be your lawfully wedded wife? To have and to hold for richer or for poorer, through sickness and health 'til death do you part?" The priest asked.

"I do." Oliver grinned.

"Do you Dolly Masbrig take Oliver Wood to be your lawfully wedded husband? To have and to hold for richer or for poorer, through sickness and health 'til death do you part?"

"I do."

"Then with the power invested in me, I pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss your bride." The priest replied happily. "May I present Mr. and Mrs. Oliver Wood?" The priest questioned after they parted from their first kiss as a married couple. ~

// The rest of my days Loving you //

THE END!!!!
