Chapter 47 - You Call this A Honeymoon? Part Three
Harry looked mournfully at the lake. With a sigh they ran under the covered sidewalk and began to walk. Not really caring where they were going, the two found themselves in front of The Museum of Wizarding Marriages. The couple smiled, shrugged then walked in.
"Welcome! You two look like a fine young couple, would you be interested in getting married today? We have a minister on call day and night, and you can dress up to be any famous wizard you want to be. We had a couple come in and dress up as Harry Potter and his lovely wife Ginny Potter just a week ago. I'm afraid to say that the real couple did not get married here, but none the less... You know, the two of you would not really have to do much to look like the famous couple, if that was who you wanted to portray!" Ginny's face looked as red as her hair at being called famous, and having people get married as her. Harry only looked amused.
"How interesting, you think we look like Harry and Ginny Potter?" Harry asked trying to look excited.
"Well...you two will need a little touch ups here and there, I'm afraid Mr. Potter has much larger eye brows, his hands are a little longer, little things like that. You two would not be able to pass as them, in the community, but I can make you look like them, the spell will only last an hour however." Now Ginny looked as amused as Harry.
"Well, thank you anyways, we are already married, but we would like to see the museum." The man looked dejected for a split second before he smiled again.
"No problem, we will just need some information, and we ask that you sign our guest book." Harry smiled and nodded. "Very good, if you could fill out this form so that we can keep you up-dated on anything new that happens. You know there is a rumor going around the Potter couple are in town now?" Ginny nodded and grabbed the page while Harry took out the proper money to pay for two tickets. Ginny folded the paper so that the man could not look at it right away, and then signed the guest book. Handing it in, the two made there way into the museum, but not before they heard a gasp from the lobby.
Ginny had been dreaming of her wedding ever since she could remember. Most of the time she had pictured herself with Harry, even before she new what he looked like. Upon arriving at the museum, she was suddenly glad she had planned it all out herself. There were some of the ugliest wedding props, gowns and places you could possibly find. All of which had actually been used in real weddings, as there were moving pictures to prove it. If you tapped your wand to the picture, you could hear the couple both say "I do." Harry and Ginny had made it halfway through the museum, which they were trying to go through as quickly as possible when they ran into a familiar couple. John and Alice Rosy.
"Well hello again!" John greeted them loudly. Alice looked as if she might faint at seeing them. Both were wearing a huge smile.
"I thought the two of you were going around Muggle Italy today." Ginny asked.
"Oh we were, but it's such a dreadful day with this weather, and the Muggles don't have covered paths, so we decided to post pone." John explained.
"Isn't this a lovely museum? I wish we could have had half of this stuff in our wedding, what do you think of all of this?" Alice asked.
"Oh it's...umm lovely." Ginny and Harry replied at the same time looking at each other for help.
"Well, since where here together, maybe we can tour the rest of the museum together." Alice looked excited at the prospect. Harry and Ginny just didn't have it in their hearts to say no.
"Sure why not? So how long have you been in this museum?" Harry asked.
"Oh two hours now, we are looking at everything, and listening to everything. There are secrets you know, if you tap your wand in other places then just the bride and groom, other things can be heard and seen. For instance, every person in this wedding said something to the bride and groom. Here we can listen to them again." Alice exclaimed excitedly. Harry and Ginny looked at the audience at this particular wedding, there had to be at least three hundred people. John started at the top of the picture. Harry and Ginny groaned silently.
It was dark before the group got out of the museum, the only thing they found interesting in the whole museum, was the last display which held there own wedding. They had no idea they were in the museum, nor did they know that everyone at there wedding said something nice about them. The man at the front desk, jumped up upon seeing them coming out of the museum area and immediately looked up at Harry's forehead, where his scar was currently showing.
"It was a pleasure meeting the two of you! As a complimentary gift we give you both a telaball, which you can play any of the weddings you would like on it, and it will display it on the nearest wall." The man stuttered as he handed the couple two crystal balls. Stepping outside where the storm had blown over, and a cool breeze swept the area, the two couples split up. But not before Ginny gave them one of the balls, in which the Rosys were looking longingly at.
"Thank you!" John smiled and Harry and Ginny porously walked in the opposite direction of where the Rosys were going, and therefore got themselves totally lost.
"Maybe we should just apperate back to the hotel." Ginny suggested, looking around at the empty buildings surrounding them."
"I agree, when we get back we can get some dinner and eat it by the lake."
"Hmm, food sounds good." The two apperated and came up no where near the Five Star Hotel.
Harry looked mournfully at the lake. With a sigh they ran under the covered sidewalk and began to walk. Not really caring where they were going, the two found themselves in front of The Museum of Wizarding Marriages. The couple smiled, shrugged then walked in.
