Disclaimer: Only Cara
Thanks to:
Sykoticstalker27: Aye, Janus Faolan is very much a failure in the father department but Remus, at least I reckon was born to be a dad. It's a shame that JK Rowling didn't give him a kid. And lol at dolls, I keep getting these images of a plushie James Potter burying his face in his hands as Plushie Sirius pats his back sympathetically.
Arigazi: Oh it was fun, I was so tempted to go 'follow that car' in a James Bond styley...of course, James Bond would probably have something like a Lotus (sigh). Aye, Ginny's a smart lass like Arthur. I always feel sorry for the man because he's actually quite smart but people always put him down simply because he doesn't bribe the Ministry with money and walk around with a stick in his arse! The Roldolphus thing comes from too many films. Do you ever watch them and the bad guys like "Mwhaha if I kill so and so's only love then they will become pathetic and bend at my every whim" only to find, whoops, 10 minutes later they've had the arse kicking of the century? Anyway, the Best man clothes are an evergreen but I did the Scarlet Pimpernel thing because of the cut of the clothes, lol so about the mix up.
Elrohir lover: Lol aye, scary images of Cara in a frock there. And oh aye the taxi thing works, bloody good fun. You know my brother can do the most amazing Gollum impersonation its almost creepy lol.
Angel174: Ah well here's a belated Congratulations lol. I'm glad I can strike such a chord in you and this is so much fun preparing a wedding. I unfortunately have this silly thing where I can never last longer then two or three months in a relationship so a wedding seems like it may be a little away yet...(sigh).

Chapter 26 – On our way
"Why can't we just apparate there, or PortKey?" Ron grumbled as he dragged his girlfriend's heavy luggage to the mini van that was parked outside Number 12 Grimmauld Place.
"Several reasons," Remus started as he helped with the bag, "One, it's harder for the Death Eater's to track our magickal trace if we don't use magick to get to Glasgow. Two, It'll take us at least a day and night to get there so we'll be killing some time and three, are you really willing to deny your father this?"
Smirking over at Arthur Weasley who was talking excitedly to his wife about the van's stereo Ron shook his head as he finished loading the luggage.
"Fair enough, who's driving anyway?" He said as he wiped his slightly sweaty hands on his trousers.
"That would be me." Hermione said as she stepped out the door with Ginny in tow. Ron groaned as his girlfriend scowled at him in warning.
"What?" She said dragging out the word. Ron blushed a little but he looked her in the eye.
"It's just you can be a little...temperamental behind the wheel." He said feeling himself shrinking under the woman's look. She began to rant at him then causing Remus to roll his eyes and chuckle lightly as he moved round to the open side door of the van.
"What's it about this time?" Harry asked as he walked over to the van coming to stop beside the older werewolf.
"Hermione's driving apparently." The tawny man chuckled as Cara slipped past them both and into the vehicle.
"What, you mean when her language goes straight out the window and she gets potty mouth?" The animagi asked and almost instantly Hermione was upon him like a pile of bricks.
"HARRY! I can't believe you said that! You're just as bad as he is..." She continued to fume at him as he looked at Cara hopelessly. The blonde merely smirked at him and waved.
~*~
"Who's got the map?" Bill called as he clambered over his brother Charlie to lean into the driver's section slightly, his older brother scowling at him before giving him a dead leg.
Up front Hermione, Mrs Weasley and Mr Weasley sat in the three-seater whilst the Weasley clan, Remus, Harry and Cara sat in the back, separated into twos for the five different pairs of double seats: (Harry and Cara, Ron and Ginny, Bill and Charlie, Fred and George and finally Remus and Percy.)
"That would be Remus Bill, sit down," Mrs Weasley said as she lifted a bag onto her lap, "I've got a few nibble bits here, who's hungry?"
Various calls of food sounded as the woman smiled, handing the bag back to her eldest to share out the food.
Cara had got the window seat and was happily watching the scenery zip past them. He and Harry had chosen the seats at the back of the mini bus so that they were out of the scurrying family's way.
Still staring out the window he felt a hand slip into his and he turned his head to look at Harry who smiled at him lovingly. He returned it as the darker male leant forward to whisper into his ear.
"We're going to get married." He said and Cara squeezed his hand lovingly. Harry's eyes flickered to the very slight aisle between the chairs to make sure everyone was facing forwards before kissing the blonde when he made sure every one else was busy.
Cara lifted his hand to rest it on the animagi's high cheekbone, caressing it with his thumb as Harry shuffled closer. Both sitting sideways very slightly their legs tangled a little as they played a small game of footsie whilst they continued to kiss. The werewolf could just feel the familiar tingles of excitement running up and down his spine when he heard a wolf whistle. Breaking apart they turned slowly to see the whole clan and Remus watching then with smirks on their faces (except Percy who frowned but otherwise kept quiet).
When the two blushed the group laughed as various catcalls sounded.
"Naughty boys, you can do that later...or does the exhibitionist thing turn you on?" George chirped and the group laughed again. Harry mock scowled at him.
"Just because you're not getting any." He said and various jeers were then turned on the laughing red head. Ginny wasn't helping with her mock yells of 'fight fight fight!'
"Behave! Don't make me reach back there!" Mrs Weasley called and instantly the redheaded kids gave their replies of 'Sorry mum' and 'We'll be good.'
Cara snuggled his head under his mate's chin as he wrapped an arm loosely round Harry's waist. His fiancé slowly stroked his hair, slipping it between his fingers as he rested his head on top of his.
~*~
Most of the group by now had nodded off after being in the van for so long leaving only the drivers, Harry and Cara awake now. Craning his head a little Harry was pretty sure even the twins had nodded off by now.
"Everyone's passed out." He whispered to the werewolf who in turn smiled almost wickedly. They slide down a little out of the view of the rear-view mirror before resuming their kissing from earlier. They started softly, trying to keep all noise to a minimal, but soon their kisses where becoming heated, tongues sliding against one another's. Thankfully, they managed to keep all noise down.
Cara's hand slipped up Harry's shirt where heated skin met his cool hands. He tickled it up the man's spine, knowing that it always made his mate turn to mush quite happily before slipping it round the front to stroke it over Harry's chest.
The animagi just managed to hold back a moan at the sensations before he returned the favour by tenderly stroking the sensitive skin on the inside of Cara's thighs. He felt the skin shudder against his and it was this that made him remember where they were. Pulling back slowly he almost threw all restraints back out the window as he caught a glimpse of the molten amber lust in his fiancé's eyes.
"We can't here," He whispered breathlessly into the werewolf's ear, "it wouldn't be fair on everyone else."
Cara pouted very slightly with a sigh and Harry laughed as he kissed it.
"Next toilet stop I promise," The blonde looked at him sceptically but with a hint of hope, "I mean it. Next stop and I'll initiate you into the sublime joys of matehood."
The werewolf burst out laughing before covering his hand with his mouth, still shaking lightly in silent laughter that Harry joined in with.
~*~
"Alright, meet at this...what is this?" Arthur Weasley said as he looked at the dark room behind him.
"It's an arcade room, with muggle games." Harry said as he stood with his arm around Cara's waist, sticking his tongue out at muggles who cast disapproving looks their way.
"Right, yes ok. So about half an hour to do your necessaries, eat use the bathroom etc then meet here." The group nodded before separating into little groups to look around the roadside rest centre.
Instantly Cara grabbed Harry's hand and making sure no one was looking they hurried off to find the nearest toilet. Unfortunately the men's always had someone walking in and out whilst scowling at the two men holding hands so they looked to the woman's but it had a huge queue lined up.
Sighing, the werewolf was about to give up when Harry jerked his hand and smirked at him. He inclined his head to the left and Cara's grin returned when he spotted what his mate had noticed...a janitor's closet.
Casting a quick Alohomora they snuck in giggling slightly and to be on the safe side Harry cast a spell so that if anyone came to the door they'd suddenly remember something else they had to do before leaving.
"It's very dark." Cara chuckled quietly as the animagi lit his wand. Placing it on a shelf he leant forward to slowly kiss the blonde until they soon fell back into their mood from the van.
~*~
"What's a McDonalds like then?" Ginny asked as she looked up at the pictures of the food variety offered. Hermione was busy ordering her meal before she turned back to the both Ron and Ginny.
"They're yummy, pick something already." She said impatiently before Ron gave an excited yelp.
"What's the one with the free toy? I want that one!" Hermione looked at him in disbelief but then Ginny smiled too.
"Me too!" She said and sighing the bushy haired girl turned back round to make the order.
~*~
Molly, Arthur and Remus were all sat at one of the many cafes tables sipping teas as they smiled over at the three youngest still being served.
"No matter how old they get they'll never grow up." Molly said affectionately until Arthur frowned slightly.
"Where are Harry and Cara?" He said and looking round the other two noticed the missing young men. Remus hid a smirk behind his hand as he saw two far off people walk out of a closet.
"Um...oh there they are, must have had a look in the shops." He said fighting down a tremendous laugh as the two rumpled looking men slipped over to the three by the till.
~*~
"Hey! Where'd you two go to?" Ron asked as a flushed looking Harry and Cara joined them. The animagi simply raised an eyebrow and instantly the red head got the message, blushing so his ears turned red.
"Best you don't ask." Hermione laughed.
~*~
Cara was sat by the window again as the van speed down the motorway, his hand clasped in Harry's as the darker male slept. Once again everyone save himself and Hermione were asleep giving him time to look around the company gathered in the mini bus.
It didn't really matter that his last surviving relative, his own father, didn't want to witness his own son's wedding...here he had a family. He smiled as he placed a kiss on Harry's forehead then curled up against him closely.
