Ron's eyes opened slowly as he studied the room. Quickly he jumped to his feet.
"NO WAY IS GINNY MARRYING THAT MALFOY GIT!" roared Ron.
"Ron, come on, give him a chance!" Fred begged.
"Yeah, he fought for our side!" George reminded him.
"I DO NOT CARE! SHE IS NOT MARRYING HIM AND THAT'S FINAL!" Ron bellowed before stomping his way out of the room.
"I'll go knock some sense into him," Bill offered.
"No, dear. Maybe we should let Lavender have a go," Molly advised.
~~~!~~~~
Ron walked over to the Gryffindor Table in a huff and seated himself next to Lavender.
"Hey, what's the matter?" Lavender asked.
"My sister wants to marry Malfoy!" Ron cried angrily.
"Aw how cute!" Lavender squealed. Ron shot a glare at her and Lavender hushed.
"But come on, Ron! You've got to give him a chance! Remember when Hermione was…um…dead? He wiped out half of the Slytherins!" Lavender pointed out.
Ron thought about his precious Hermione. How when she had been devoured by that foul creature Draco had killed nearly half of the Dark Side. But still, he didn't want to believe Draco could be good.
"I know, but I don't know if I can forgive him! I mean he teased me and taunted me all my life! Am I supposed to let that go?" Ron asked.
"Yes, give him a chance, Ron. For me. For Ginny," Lavender pleaded. Ron looked at her for a moment. He thought of what Hermione would say.
'Give him a chance, Ron. Let Draco show himself as the real Draco, not the dog on a leash that Lucius created. Give him a second chance to show his true colors,' Hermione's voice rang through Ron's mind.
"Fine," he surrendered. "Fine."
"Yes, you're the greatest!" Lavender squealed as she wrapped him in a tight hug.
"Lav-you're suffocating me," Ron wheezed.
"Oh, sorry," Lavender released him and they ate breakfast happily.
~~~Snape's House~~~
"Ginny! Draco! Get down here!" Snape ordered as he stood at the foot of the stairs. Ginny and Draco quickly dashed out of their room and slid down the banister landing right next to Snape.
"Speedy delivery! Now I want speedy news!" Ginny said.
"Yes, but I'm feeling a tad tired from all this. I'm going to go take a nap then-" Snape began.
"You're not taking any nap until we know the news!" Ginny exclaimed. "Now cough it up!"
"Listen to the fiery one," Draco ordered. Ginny crossed her arms across her chest and awaited the answer.
"Your youngest brother took a long while until he finally gave in. The wedding is set for a few days from now," Snape revealed.
"Oh my god! Yes!" Ginny cried as she hugged Draco delightedly. Draco smirked.
"When will we be able to buy the items for the wedding?" Draco asked.
"How about today? There is a wedding square right next to Diagon Alley called Bride and Groom's Block. Just let us have lunch first and then we can go," Snape said as he led them to the food.
~~~SHOPPING~~~
"I've been here quite a few times with Mother. I know this place quite well so I can buy everything I need easily. Ginny, you can go with Severus. Is that fine?" Draco offered.
"You've shopped her a few times for whose weddings? Not yours I hope," Ginny said.
"Maybe," Draco said playfully. Ginny shoved him lightheartedly. "I'm just kidding. It was for mother's friends."
"Sounds good. We will meet at the Café in about three hours," Snape said and with that they separated and were off.
Snape led Ginny inside a bridal shop and instantly Ginny's gaze averted to this wondrous dress. She rushed up to it and ran her hand over the velvety fabric.
"This one's perfect!" Ginny cried.
"Don't you want to try on others?" asked Snape.
"No, this one is fine. I'll go try it on," Ginny said as she changed into the dress with a swish of her hand.
The dress was marvelous. It was of an elegant royal blue with spaghetti straps. The bottom of the dress was pinned up on some side to look like gentle waves rocking the ocean. It was quite tight and had an elegant blue bow tied around the waist and cocked on the side.
"You do look lovely in that, Miss," the owner of the store said.
"Please, Severus, can we take it?" Ginny begged.
"Fine," Snape agreed paying the owner. The dress was wrapped and placed in a bag and they were ready to go.
"That's all I need, right?" Ginny asked.
"I believe so. Draco will be getting the ring and his tuxedo. Oh, yes, flowers!" Snape remembered as he led her into the flower store.
"It smells lovely in here!" Ginny stated as she looked around waiting for a bouquet to catch her eye. And finally one did. It was filled with roses, irises, daisies, tulips, and all sorts of delicate flowers. It was bought and Ginny and Snape made their way to the Café to await Draco's arrival.
Snape ordered them two butterbeers and they sat outside on the chairs. Minutes later, Draco arrived.
"Got everything?" asked Ginny. Draco nodded.
"I think you'll be quite pleased with the ring," Draco hinted.
"Oh, lemme see!" Ginny begged as she reached over for the bag. But Draco swung it out of her reach.
"Nope, you've got to wait until the wedding," Draco said. Ginny made a puppy face and pouted while Draco chuckled.
"What's the extra bag for?" Snape asked.
"Oh, I bought Ginny some shoes," Draco said.
"Oh yeah! We forgot to buy some!" Ginny exclaimed.
"Check these out. See if you like them," Draco said as he handed her the bag. Ginny gingerly took out the box and opened them up.
Inside were the most beautiful majestic blue sandals. The heel wasn't that high and the strap had a beautiful flower adorned on it adding the sandals a touch of femininity.
"Oh Draco they're beautiful! Thank you!" Ginny gasped. "But how did you know?"
"Know what? I thought blue would look lovely on you," Draco said.
"Oh," Ginny murmured as they finished up their butterbeers and headed back to Snape's house.
~~~! The Day of the Wedding !~~~
"Ugh." Ginny was fumbling with the zipper in the back of the dress when Snape walked in.
"Need help?" Snape asked as he walked over and quickly zipped it up then tied the bow around her waist cocking to the side like in the store. Ginny walked over to her nightstand, took out a little turquoise blue butterfly hairpin, and neatly tucked it in her copper locks.
"You look lovely," Snape commented. Ginny blushed and gave him a simple 'thank you'.
"I'm not quite sure how these weddings go," Ginny stated.
"Simple. I'll walk you down there then hand you over to Draco since your father isn't here. Then just go from there. Don't worry, everything will be fine," Snape said.
But what did he know?
He walked her down the steps slowly and gave her to Draco.
"You look marvelous," Draco whispered.
"And you look handsome yourself," Ginny replied as she got a good look at him. Black was really his color. It brought out his silvery blue eyes and his white blond hair. Ginny was practically drooling over him.
Dumbledore walked up to the front and the ceremony began.
"We are here today to wed these two, Draco Malfoy and Ginny Weasley, in holy matrimony. The speeches may begin," Dumbledore announced. Ginny felt like groaning. Speeches? At her wedding? But soon she found out it wasn't really speeches.
First up was her mother.
"When you were born, I was ecstatic. You were my first little baby girl. After giving birth to so many boys, I was losing hope. But you were finally born. I looked after you day and night hoping nothing would happen to my only little daughter. You grew up so fast, running around chasing Ron with the stuffed spider, playing pranks on Percy with Fred and George. Before I knew it, you were heading off to Hogwarts and then finishing off your 6th year! I never knew that my youngest and only daughter would be the first to wed and at first I was quite reluctant. But all your life you made good choices, so I gave in. And I'm sure I'll be glad I did. I love you, Ginny!" Molly cried as she burst into tears and rushed to hug her little girl.
Next was Bill, her eldest brother.
"I remember when you were little. I recall those nights when mum would stay up all night watching over you because you had a hacking cough and we would all be so worried because you were the only girl and the youngest. You grew up so fast and I sure wish I could've spent more time with you. I love you, Ginny, and I always will. I hope you're life turns out to be a great one," Bill ended as he walked up to her and embraced her warmly.
Next came the twins in a shower of fireworks that scared her poor mother. Ginny giggled, she should've known Fred and George would do something like that.
"So, Gin, what can we say?" they began in unison, telling Ginny they had probably rehearsed this. A huge screen pulled up behind Ginny and everyone turned around to face it. "When you were little we watched you scamper around home with only a little diaper strapped to your bootie," the continued.
The huge screen soon showed a picture of a little Ginny running around the Burrow clad in only her diapers. Ginny blushed and giggled as she watched Draco's face stare at the screen entranced. She giggled even more when Draco asked the twins to give him more pictures of Ginny like that.
"Then we watched you put Percy's room on fire. That was the highlight of your youth, or at least ours," they went on. The screen quickly changed to a picture of a room ignited in orange flames and a screaming Percy could be seen rushing out of the room, hair caught on fire. Ginny tried hard to hold back her tears for she had heard a few days ago that Percy had died in a Death Eater attack.
"Finally we watched you run Ron up the wall with your crazy idea to marry Malfoy. That was hilarious!" the said as the screen showed Ron fainting to the floor when he realized that Ginny was going to marry Draco. Ginny giggled and Ron turned a plum red which made Ginny giggled even harder.
"Now we're watching you get married to him and we're so proud that you choose a rich guy. You were always the smart one, Gin," the ended as the whole audience began to clap and laugh at the twins remarks and their video while the screen showed a picture of Ginny and Draco standing next to each other in their wedding.
The twins gave Ginny a double hug and sat down. Everyone hushed as Ron stood up and walked over to Ginny.
"Gin, when you were born I thought it my duty to take care of you and look after you at Hogwarts once everyone graduated. You were the only girl and I wanted you always safe and sound. Though I'm not to sure about you marrying Malfoy, I guess I'll just have to go along because you always made wise decisions. And I'll always try to be behind you, even if I faint a couple times in the process," Ron added as he hugged his sister and sat down by his mum. Ginny was crying softly by the end of all this
"Those were all lovely speeches. Now, do you Draco Malfoy, take Ginny Weasley to be your lawfully wedded wife?" asked Dumbledore.
Draco gazed at Ginny for a while. "I do."
"And do you, Ginny Weasley, take Draco Malfoy to be your lawfully wedded husband?" asked Dumbledore.
Ginny looked up at Draco. "I do."
"Does anyone object to this wedding?" Dumbledore asked. Instantly, Ginny went rigid. What if Ron objected? Would she ever marry Draco? Oh, god.
"I object," came a very familiar voice from the very back of the audience.
