Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter. Here's the 6th chapter hope you enjoy
it.
A week had passed since Harry had proposed to Cho and already it was all over the wizarding news. With that going around they were suddenly planning the biggest event in Wizarding History. The whole school was mainly talking about Harry and Cho's engagement. Many other s from Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Gryffindor wanted to help Cho choose her dress. Cho also had to show her ring a couple of times as they all stared at it in utter amazement. Harry and Cho didn't even speak about a precise date and this worried them slightly.
"Cho, why don't we have a double wedding!" Samantha said.
"I dunno.I mean do you really want your wedding to be in the paper?" Cho asked.
"In the paper? Why?" Samantha asked confused.
"Cho and I received some letters of permission from the Daily Prophet, book authors, all that you can imagine." Harry said exasperated.
"Whoa.why is that?" Samantha asked.
"Apparently in their words 'Once Harry Potter gets engaged that day will go down in history along with his wedding'" Cho said.
"Oh.well Ron and I are getting married in two weeks so I suppose it could be quite a rush for you Cho." Samantha said.
"Speaking about that.how much do you have to plan?" Cho asked.
"Oh well.um I've decided to of course have you Cho and Paige be my bridesmaids." Samantha said.
"Well, wait Harry's already agreed to be my best man. Why don't you make Cho maid of honor?" Ron asked.
"Well.Paige." Samantha began to say.
"Paige will be fine. Paige doesn't want to be maid of honor." Paige said laughing.
"Are you sure Paige? Because it's really hard to choose between you both." Samantha said.
"Of course. Besides it'd be awkward to be walking down with Harry. No offense or anything Harry." Paige said laughing nervously.
"Non taken." Harry said as he rolled hie eyes smiling slightly.
"It's just.I'd rather get to the cermonial site before hand and stay on the side not being seen." Paige said.
"Alright if that's what you want. Cho, would you like to be my maid of honor?" Samantha asked.
"Well since you're being mine than of course! I'd be happy too." Cho said smiling.
"Brilliant, now we have two weeks to prepare. My mum's coming in next week along with my dad. And we need to get those dresses!" Samantha exclaimed.
Samantha and Ron's wedding was very easy to plan. It would be small and bed held right in the garden of Hogwarts. Samantha had always wanted to marry somewhere peaceful so she and Ron choose the garden. It was January 7th and Samantha, Cho, Paige, Danielle, and five other s that Samantha knew were planning to go to Hogsmeade to pick out dresses for the bridesmaids and the maid of honor. Meanwhile Harry and Ron with eight other guys were spending their time getting measured by Mrs.Weasley and somebody from The Dress Robes Manor in Hogsmeade to have specially made robes done for the wedding. This would truly be hectic. As Harry stood next to Ron getting measured and looking at the many cloth choices he could tell Ron couldn't believe his eyes.
"Is it starting to sink in now?" Harry asked as he was still being measured.
"More than ever." Ron said with a hoarse voice.
"It'll be fine dear. Oh it'll be such a joy to see you and Samantha in wedded bliss. This reminds me of the time your father and I got married. Oh my baby is growing up!" Mrs. Weasley bawled.
"Aww, wittle Ronnikins is all growned up and about to get married." Fred and George snickered.
"This isn't any different than when Percy got married to Penelope so leave me alone." Ron snapped.
After that remark Harry and the rest were silent but he could see Fred and George were sustaining their laughter and at one moment he could've sworn one of them had said "Wedding Jitters for Ickle Ronnikins" He watched by as the s quickly left the common room. Cho and Samantha quickly ran over to hug them slightly. In the back Ron and Harry could see Samantha's mother waiting.
"Mother's waiting for me. We're going off to pick the dresses. Have fun getting measured up for the robes." Samantha said as she kissed him on the cheek.
"We'll all be back around 6:00 for the feast. And believe me this is going to be one feast we'll never forget." Cho said quietly while laughing.
Soon Harry had kissed Cho and she along with the rest of the s headed off to Hogsmeade. Samantha was trying to be very calm about everything but Cho and Paige had noticed with her mother there she didn't seem as independent. All the same though Samantha was thrilled her mother had gone down to Hogwarts to help her plan her wedding. The s walked in over to the entrance and searched for the Bridal Shop. They all smiled as they finally found the place and soon they walked in. The variety of the dresses was truly amazing. Samantha looked so shocked and she had the look of reality in her eyes. It finally hit her that she was going to marry Ron.
"Alright s, you can choose your dresses. Just make sure to be creative. Cho, Samantha, and I will be searching for the gown for this shimmering bride." Mrs. Grint said smiling.
The s soon wandered off in search of the perfect dress. Samantha, Cho, and Mrs. Grint grazed around for the maid of honor gown and Samantha's wedding dress. Simply it was hard to choose. Somewhere along the way Cho had found a nice sparkly green dress with a silky shawl to go with it. She took it off the rack and laid it upon herself.
"I think that dress is beautiful. It'd certainly go with Harry's dress robes. Mrs. Weasley gave me the hint they'd be green like his eyes once again." Samantha said.
"Absolutely stunning Cho. You should definetly choose that dress." Mrs. Grint said.
"Yeah I guess I should.alright I guess this is the dress I want." Cho said.
Content with her maid of honor dress Samantha and Cho were now in search of a wedding dress for Samantha. They moved on to the wedding gowns. It was like walking into a diamond store once they walked up to the dresses. All of the gowns glimmered so brightly almost as if they were screaming "Please choose me!" Mrs. Grint and Samantha had chosen a very nice dress for Samantha. Samantha bit her lower lip and went in the dressing room to try it on. When she came out Cho and Mrs. Grint smiled. They both gave her a up.
"That is definetly your dress Samantha. Ron will never be able to say his vows with his eyes captivated on you." Cho said.
"Oh you look like an angel my darling little . All grown up and about to get married!" Mrs. Grint said.
The dress was made out of some nice cotton material and it had lace coming down the sides. It wasn't poofy whatsoever and it snagged on to her like a perfect fit. Mrs. Grint put the veil over Samantha's face and smiled slightly feeling some tears come to her eyes.
"My darling daughter Samantha getting married!" Mrs. Grint exclaimed.
"You're right this is definetly the dress I want to be married in. It's perfect. I feel like a princess." Samantha said smiling.
Samantha changed out of her wedding dress and they all headed to the cashier waiting for the other s. Soon Paige, Danielle and the rest came running over to them with some very unique dresses. They had chosen a yellow and red pattern dress made out of satin to be their bridesmaid gowns for the wedding. But soon they also had another dress in their other hands which was light blue and white patterned.
"This represents Gryffindor just for your wedding Samantha." Paige said as she lifted up the yellow and red dress.
"And this represents Ravenclaw and we got bracelets that were red to just represent a little of Gryffindor just for yours and Harry's wedding Cho." Danielle said as she lifted the blue and white dress.
"But we're not getting married for a while. We don't even have a particular date yet." Cho said.
"It saves us the trouble though." Danielle said laughing.
Mrs. Grint had taken all of the dresses and had them paid for and soon the s headed out back to the castle talking about Samantha and Ron's wedding. When Cho and Samantha walked in with the dresses they saw Ron and Harry only with the rest of the boys were asleep tangled in the measuring rope. Cho shook her head while laughing slightly. Samantha walked over to Mrs. Weasley who was knitting a maroon sweater. Samantha gave her a hug and they both looked at the boys. Mrs. Weasley shook her head.
"They were all just plump tired after spending hours just standing there waiting to be measured. Surprisngly Ron was the last one to be knocked out." Mrs. Weasley said.
Samantha and Cho gave their dresses to the s as they all quietly headed up the stairs. They untangled the measuring rope around Harry and Ron still trying not to laugh. Mrs. Weasley walked off to talk to Mrs. Grint as they both looked at Harry, Cho, Ron, and Samantha they eyed over to the door telling them that it was time for dinner. Cho and Samantha nodded and they both woke up the eight other guys one by one. Once the rest of the s who had gone up came back down they headed out with the eight boys that was awakened to the great hall leaving just the two couples. Samantha and Cho got Harry and Ron into their arms and they tried so hard not to laugh as they were both out in a deep sleep.
"Ron, darling wake up it's time for dinner." Samantha whispered.
"Harry, Harry wake up we have to get down to the great hall, it's time for the feast you can't sleep there for the rest of the evening you'll never be able to rest at night." Cho said softly.
"On one condition s." Ron muttered and his eyes were still closed.
"What's that condition? Just wake up it's not that hard." Samantha said.
"Our condition is..we get to pick you s up and carry you over to the Great Hall." Harry said as he awakened and picked Cho up in his arms.
"Please don't drop me!" Cho said laughing.
Harry and Cho looked over to Ron and Samantha. Samantha was still holding Ron while putting her fingers through his hair. They both smiled at each other. Harry put Cho down and they held hands looking at Samantha and Ron was indeed a beautiful thing as they knew that they loved each other so much.
"Isn't it a relief you get to have this done in a week?" Cho asked.
"It sure is. In another week Ron and I will intertwine in wedded bliss." Samantha said.
Harry and Cho smiled slightly at them both and nudged them to get up and head for the Great Hall. There Ron was literally intimidated by Mr. Grint who was asking him questions on how he would care for Samantha. And than the big shunner came through. The financial support.
"If you're capable of nurturing and caring for my daughter emotionally, how will you do financially?" Mr. Grint asked.
Samantha gave her father a stern look. A look that looked like she was definetly ready to kill.
"Daddy, I thought we agreed not to talk financial things until after Ron and I graduate." Samantha said bitterly.
"For god sakes Samantha! This boy should be at least be able to support you when you're sick, if you need something but it's not in the house hold. I want to make sure this boy is capable for caring for my dear sweet child." Mr. Grint said.
"Daddy, all I need in this world is Ron's love. If I had no food, no roof over my head, no clothes that fit me, and I had to live in the streets of London by hell I would do it! All I need is Ron's love and I will be fine so do not patronize Ron like this. You know that's not fair." Samantha hissed.
"I'm sorry pumpkin.daddy just wants to make sure his little will be safe. It seems only yesterday you came home crying to me because some boy stole your magic kits." Mr. Grint said.
"Dad, really.I'm not that little anymore. Of course I know I'm not that much of a genius in common sense sometimes but you have to understand, that Ron means the world to me. He is my life. And whatever obstacles we have to face I'm willing to face it with Ron. I love Ron, dad." Samantha said as she looked over at Ron. "I really do."
Samantha's eyes were captivated on Ron and he held on to her hand tightly. He took a big breath and looked directly at Mr. Grint.
"Mr. Grint, I just have one say in this. I may not be the richest guy in the world. I may not be so lucky in life with luxury. But I lived and grew up in that kind of scenario. Before I proposed to your daughter I thought about how I would want to support her when she became my wife. I thought about how I would try so hard to give her the life she rightfully deserves. I have a strong feeling in my heart that her place is with me. I love your daughter Mr. Grint. You have to believe that." Ron said.
Mr. Grint's face solemned down and he nodded slightly. Harry and Cho looked at each other and than looked at Samantha and Ron who at the moment were hugging each other. Harry soon had thoughts coming into his mind about the fact that he'd have to go through the same thing with Cho's parents. He had met them directly in his fifth year but only to know that they knew he was Cho's boyfriend. But at the moment they didn't know Cho was engaged. Cho and Harry headed up to the commons and let Ron and Samantha have some quality time with Mr. And Mrs. Grint.
The day finally came. Samantha's wedding day finally and thankfully came. Samantha got up early to freshen up for the big day. She hadn't seen Ron in 24 long hours just to uphold the old saying 'See your lover in 24 hours before the bliss, you will be separated before the final kiss' Samantha didn't want to take any chances and with her being so superstious they had to go with it. Cho and Paige went over to help Samantha prepare for the big day. Cho was in her elegant sparkly green dress with the shawl. Her hair was up in a loose bun and she had emerald bracelets on. Paige had on her red and yellow patterned dress. Her hair was up in a ponytail with curlies falling to the side. Cho got Samantha's wedding dress and Paige started to get make up appliances and hair ties. Samantha put the dress on along with her strapped white high heels. Paige spent about a half an hour working on Samantha's hair to have it just be so perfect. Cho slipped the veil on Samantha's head and Mrs. Grint entered in last minute to put on the pearls and diamonds on Samantha. Samantha got up and put the veil over her face smiling broadly.
"You look like a dream Samantha you really do." Paige said smiling.
"I can't believe this.I'm getting married." Samantha said as tears formed.
"Hey, the bridesmaid and maid of honor are suppose to have the first tears. Don't hog the limelight." Cho said laughing slightly as tears formed too in her eyes.
They all laughed and Paige and Cho gave Samantha a big hug.
"I wish you nothing but luck today Samantha. I'm gonna go down with your mum and wait for you in the ceremonial site." Paige said.
Samantha nodded and Paige and Mrs. Grint left to the garden site in Hogwarts. Samantha and Ron decided to have it there on account of peacefulness and the structure of the place. Samantha wanted to be married there since it was pretty standard and plus the wedding would be small. Samantha looked at herself in the mirror once more smiling.
"I'm gonna go check and see if your dad is here to take you off to the site." Cho said as she exited out of the room.
Cho looked down and could see Harry giving Ron moral support. Soon afterwards Ron got out of the common room heading for the ceremonial site. Harry was in his dark green robes and surprisingly his untidy jet black hair was taming and slicked to the side. Mr. Grint had entered in and he asked Harry where Samantha was. Harry pointed up to the s dormitory. Cho walked back into the room and got Samantha to walk out and stepped down the stairs slowly. Mr. Grint got one glimpse of Samantha and his heart stopped. Her beauty was breath taking. Harry looked at Cho who was smiling broadly and he couldn't help but feel his stomach lurch everytime she took a step. Cho was so beautiful to him. Samantha and Cho reached to the end and Cho handed Samantha over to Mr. Grint.
"You look beautiful Sammy." Mr. Grint said as he kissed her on the cheek.
"Thanks daddy." Samantha said smiling.
Samantha and Mr. Grint lead the way through and walked out to the entrance. Cho grasped on to Harry's arm and they followed. As soon as they got out to near the garden Harry and Cho could see the relatives and friends of Ron and Samantha. Harry could see Ron standing at the alter fidgeting with his black robes. He knew he was nervous. Cho looked up to Samantha and Samantha looked back at her with a little anxiousness in her eyes. Cho just nodded and smiled. Mr. Grint and Samantha let Harry and Cho get in front of them since they would have to walk down first. The music started playing gracefully through the garden. The pairs of bridesmaids and groomsmen walked down the aisle as everybody admired them. Some different tone of music played as Harry and Cho appeared to walk down before Samantha would take the walk. Cameras were flashing and it was no surprise that Colin Creevy was behind the photo taking. As they walked down the aisle Cho felt a sudden rush go through her, almost like a dizzy spell. Harry felt awkward as well. Looking at all of the people staring at him and Cho. They both just came to the conclusion and thought that they were having early wedding jitters. Harry and Cho departed from each other and soon the wedding march started for Samantha. She appeared through with Mr. Grint and everybody stood up smiling as they saw her. Ron stood frozen as he saw Samantha in her wedding dress. Samantha nodded and smiled at her guests and the priestess who was to marry them just smiled broadly. Mr. Grint and Samantha reached up to the alter and Samantha stood across from Ron. Ron pulled her veil back to reveal Samantha's smiling face with little trickles of tears that were starting to form.
"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to witness the joining together of these two beautiful souls. Samantha Danielle Grint. And Ronald Michael Weasley." The priestess said.
(Brief A/N: The middle names are Rupert Grint's and my friend Casey's middle name. Casey is the creator of Samantha so I only say that to fit for it. LoL)
"May I ask who gives this woman to this man today?" the priestess asked.
"The Grint family line and." Mr. Grint began to say. He looked at Harry, Cho, and Paige and it seemed like he wanted them to say their names in gratitude.
"Harry Potter." Harry said.
"Cho Chang." Cho chimed in.
"And Paige Adams." Paige added.
"Dear lord, you have Harry Potter bidding in this." The priestess said laughing.
The whole crowd laughed and they all looked at Harry laughing. He laughed along with everybody else.
"The bride and groom have chosen to recite the traditional vows. So with that I will have both of you repeat the words that come out of my mouth from this book. Please follow carefully." The priestess said. "We'll start with you Samantha. I, Samantha Danielle Grint."
"I, Samantha Danielle Grint." Samantha repeated.
"Do take you, Ronald Michael Weasley to be my lawfully wedded husband." The priestess said.
"Do take you, Ronald Michael Weasley to be my lawfully wedded husband." Samantha said smiling.
Cho and Paige took a tissue from the stands. Paige used it to dab her eyes but Cho kept it close to her mouth. Her sudden rush kept on depriving her. It felt like it was eating her up inside. But she stood strong and elegant as possible. She knew she just had to stay through till the wedding was over.
"To have and to hold. Through sickness and in health. For richer and for poorer. I promise to comfort you as my duty to be your wife. I promise to love you forever more." The priestess said.
"To have and to hold. Through sickness and in health. For richer and for poorer." Samantha began to say as her words began to get choked up. "I promise to comfort you as my duty to be your wife. I promise to love you forever more."
"Ronald please repeat after me. I, Ronald Michael Weasley." The priestess said.
"I, Ronald Michael Weasley." Ron said almost distinctively.
"Take you Samantha Danielle Grint to be my lawfully wedded wife." The priestess said.
"Take you Samantha Danielle Grint to be my lawfully wedded." Ron began to say but he soon looked deep into Samantha's eyes and she smiled to give him courage to continue. "Wife."
"To have and to hold. Through sickness and in health. For richer and for poorer. I promise to comfort you as my duty to be your husband. I promise to love you forever more." The priestess said.
"To have and to hold.through sickness and in health. For richer and for poorer." Ron said softly as he smiled at Samantha. "I promise to comfort you as my duty to be your husband. I promise to love you forever more." Ron said.
"May I have the rings?" the priestess asked.
Harry and Cho had the rings tucked away with them. Harry took the box and gave it to Ron. Cho took her box and gave it to Samantha. They both took their places in the sides. Cho still felt queasy and everybody could see she almost fell from getting back up.
"Are you alright?" Paige asked in a low voice.
"I'm fine.really I'm fine." Cho replied in a soft voice.
Harry peered over to Cho to make sure she was fine but his eyes instantly reverted back as the priestess took a glance at them both.
"I see that the maid of honor and best man are a little edgy. Don't worry the ceremony will pass." The priestess said.
Everybody laughed and Cho only laughed slightly still covering her mouth with the tissue. She really did not feel well. She felt like she was draining. The priestess continued on.
"Ronald please slip the ring on Samantha's finger and repeat these words: My darling Samantha I give you this ring as a token of my devotion to you forever. With this ring it will prove to the world on how much I love you." The priestess said.
Ron took a breath and slipped the ring on Samantha's finger. "Dearest Samantha, I give you this ring as a token of my devotion to you forever. With this ring it will prove to the world on how much I love you." Ron said.
"Let us take a moment to give the bride a few seconds of composure. Any words Samantha that you would like to express?" the priestess asked.
Samantha sniffled as the tears of happiness came down. "I just can't believe I'm finally getting married to the man I love." She said smiling.
"Good times dear. Please take the ring you have in your hand and slip the ring on Ronald's finger repeating the words that he had said to you." The priestess said.
Samantha sniffled again and slipped the ring on Ron's finger. "My darling Ronald, I give you this ring as a token of my devotion to you forever. With this ring it will prove to the world on how much I love you." Samantha said softly.
The priestess smiled slightly. "By the power invested in me. By the power of the generations of magic I hearby intertwine these lovers in bliss." The priestess said.
A light shone from the rings that Samantha and Ron had exchanged. It shone so brightly and than it stopped in through revealing their hands again. It was like a power rush for Samantha and Ron.
"I now pronounce you wizard and wife.you may kiss your bride." The priestess said smiling.
Ron and Samantha smiled at each other and kissed. Everybody got up and applauded for the newlyweds.
"Everybody I give you the new Mr. And Mrs. Ronald Weasley!" the priestess exclaimed.
That night Ron and Samantha were staying in Harry and Cho's original Head Boy and room. They gave that to them as a wedding gift. Cho would be spending her last remaining months in the s dormitory and Harry would spend his in the boys dormitory. After the last few goodbyes Samantha took her veil off from her head. She rested upon Ron's shoulder smiling.
"I'm finally Mrs. Ronald Weasley." Samantha said.
"I'm finally married to the most beautiful woman I have ever met in my life." Ron said.
"You two should go for your honeymoon now." Paige said winking.
"Nyah, no way I'm sleeping. Good night Paige." Samantha said going up the stairs.
"Aww, honey that's not fair!" Ron said sarcastically as they walked up the stairs together.
Paige soon headed up the stairs after seeing Harry and Cho lying on the couch together. Cho was starting to regain her own stability.
"That must've been the worst wedding jitter I ever had in my life." Cho said softly as she closed her eyes.
"We'll make it through.I promise you that." Harry said kissing her softly on the forehead.
It was the sad and shocking truth. Cho was going through wedding jitters.or so they thought..
Dun dun dun! What do I mean by ..or so they thought.muahahahaha. Review and find out. ;-)
A week had passed since Harry had proposed to Cho and already it was all over the wizarding news. With that going around they were suddenly planning the biggest event in Wizarding History.

"Harry, Harry wake up we have to get down to the great hall, it's time for the feast you can't sleep there for the rest of the evening you'll never be able to rest at night." Cho said softly.
"On one condition s." Ron muttered and his eyes were still closed.
"What's that condition? Just wake up it's not that hard." Samantha said.
"Our condition is..we get to pick you s up and carry you over to the Great Hall." Harry said as he awakened and picked Cho up in his arms.
"Please don't drop me!" Cho said laughing.
Harry and Cho looked over to Ron and Samantha. Samantha was still holding Ron while putting her fingers through his hair. They both smiled at each other. Harry put Cho down and they held hands looking at Samantha and Ron was indeed a beautiful thing as they knew that they loved each other so much.
"Isn't it a relief you get to have this done in a week?" Cho asked.
"It sure is. In another week Ron and I will intertwine in wedded bliss." Samantha said.
Harry and Cho smiled slightly at them both and nudged them to get up and head for the Great Hall. There Ron was literally intimidated by Mr. Grint who was asking him questions on how he would care for Samantha. And than the big shunner came through. The financial support.
"If you're capable of nurturing and caring for my daughter emotionally, how will you do financially?" Mr. Grint asked.
Samantha gave her father a stern look. A look that looked like she was definetly ready to kill.
"Daddy, I thought we agreed not to talk financial things until after Ron and I graduate." Samantha said bitterly.
"For god sakes Samantha! This boy should be at least be able to support you when you're sick, if you need something but it's not in the house hold. I want to make sure this boy is capable for caring for my dear sweet child." Mr. Grint said.
"Daddy, all I need in this world is Ron's love. If I had no food, no roof over my head, no clothes that fit me, and I had to live in the streets of London by hell I would do it! All I need is Ron's love and I will be fine so do not patronize Ron like this. You know that's not fair." Samantha hissed.
"I'm sorry pumpkin.daddy just wants to make sure his little will be safe. It seems only yesterday you came home crying to me because some boy stole your magic kits." Mr. Grint said.
"Dad, really.I'm not that little anymore. Of course I know I'm not that much of a genius in common sense sometimes but you have to understand, that Ron means the world to me. He is my life. And whatever obstacles we have to face I'm willing to face it with Ron. I love Ron, dad." Samantha said as she looked over at Ron. "I really do."
Samantha's eyes were captivated on Ron and he held on to her hand tightly. He took a big breath and looked directly at Mr. Grint.
"Mr. Grint, I just have one say in this. I may not be the richest guy in the world. I may not be so lucky in life with luxury. But I lived and grew up in that kind of scenario. Before I proposed to your daughter I thought about how I would want to support her when she became my wife. I thought about how I would try so hard to give her the life she rightfully deserves. I have a strong feeling in my heart that her place is with me. I love your daughter Mr. Grint. You have to believe that." Ron said.
Mr. Grint's face solemned down and he nodded slightly. Harry and Cho looked at each other and than looked at Samantha and Ron who at the moment were hugging each other. Harry soon had thoughts coming into his mind about the fact that he'd have to go through the same thing with Cho's parents. He had met them directly in his fifth year but only to know that they knew he was Cho's boyfriend. But at the moment they didn't know Cho was engaged. Cho and Harry headed up to the commons and let Ron and Samantha have some quality time with Mr. And Mrs. Grint.
The day finally came. Samantha's wedding day finally and thankfully came. Samantha got up early to freshen up for the big day. She hadn't seen Ron in 24 long hours just to uphold the old saying 'See your lover in 24 hours before the bliss, you will be separated before the final kiss' Samantha didn't want to take any chances and with her being so superstious they had to go with it. Cho and Paige went over to help Samantha prepare for the big day. Cho was in her elegant sparkly green dress with the shawl. Her hair was up in a loose bun and she had emerald bracelets on. Paige had on her red and yellow patterned dress. Her hair was up in a ponytail with curlies falling to the side. Cho got Samantha's wedding dress and Paige started to get make up appliances and hair ties. Samantha put the dress on along with her strapped white high heels. Paige spent about a half an hour working on Samantha's hair to have it just be so perfect. Cho slipped the veil on Samantha's head and Mrs. Grint entered in last minute to put on the pearls and diamonds on Samantha. Samantha got up and put the veil over her face smiling broadly.
"You look like a dream Samantha you really do." Paige said smiling.
"I can't believe this.I'm getting married." Samantha said as tears formed.
"Hey, the bridesmaid and maid of honor are suppose to have the first tears. Don't hog the limelight." Cho said laughing slightly as tears formed too in her eyes.
They all laughed and Paige and Cho gave Samantha a big hug.
"I wish you nothing but luck today Samantha. I'm gonna go down with your mum and wait for you in the ceremonial site." Paige said.
Samantha nodded and Paige and Mrs. Grint left to the garden site in Hogwarts. Samantha and Ron decided to have it there on account of peacefulness and the structure of the place. Samantha wanted to be married there since it was pretty standard and plus the wedding would be small. Samantha looked at herself in the mirror once more smiling.
"I'm gonna go check and see if your dad is here to take you off to the site." Cho said as she exited out of the room.
Cho looked down and could see Harry giving Ron moral support. Soon afterwards Ron got out of the common room heading for the ceremonial site. Harry was in his dark green robes and surprisingly his untidy jet black hair was taming and slicked to the side. Mr. Grint had entered in and he asked Harry where Samantha was. Harry pointed up to the s dormitory. Cho walked back into the room and got Samantha to walk out and stepped down the stairs slowly. Mr. Grint got one glimpse of Samantha and his heart stopped. Her beauty was breath taking. Harry looked at Cho who was smiling broadly and he couldn't help but feel his stomach lurch everytime she took a step. Cho was so beautiful to him. Samantha and Cho reached to the end and Cho handed Samantha over to Mr. Grint.
"You look beautiful Sammy." Mr. Grint said as he kissed her on the cheek.
"Thanks daddy." Samantha said smiling.
Samantha and Mr. Grint lead the way through and walked out to the entrance. Cho grasped on to Harry's arm and they followed. As soon as they got out to near the garden Harry and Cho could see the relatives and friends of Ron and Samantha. Harry could see Ron standing at the alter fidgeting with his black robes. He knew he was nervous. Cho looked up to Samantha and Samantha looked back at her with a little anxiousness in her eyes. Cho just nodded and smiled. Mr. Grint and Samantha let Harry and Cho get in front of them since they would have to walk down first. The music started playing gracefully through the garden. The pairs of bridesmaids and groomsmen walked down the aisle as everybody admired them. Some different tone of music played as Harry and Cho appeared to walk down before Samantha would take the walk. Cameras were flashing and it was no surprise that Colin Creevy was behind the photo taking. As they walked down the aisle Cho felt a sudden rush go through her, almost like a dizzy spell. Harry felt awkward as well. Looking at all of the people staring at him and Cho. They both just came to the conclusion and thought that they were having early wedding jitters. Harry and Cho departed from each other and soon the wedding march started for Samantha. She appeared through with Mr. Grint and everybody stood up smiling as they saw her. Ron stood frozen as he saw Samantha in her wedding dress. Samantha nodded and smiled at her guests and the priestess who was to marry them just smiled broadly. Mr. Grint and Samantha reached up to the alter and Samantha stood across from Ron. Ron pulled her veil back to reveal Samantha's smiling face with little trickles of tears that were starting to form.
"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to witness the joining together of these two beautiful souls. Samantha Danielle Grint. And Ronald Michael Weasley." The priestess said.
(Brief A/N: The middle names are Rupert Grint's and my friend Casey's middle name. Casey is the creator of Samantha so I only say that to fit for it. LoL)
"May I ask who gives this woman to this man today?" the priestess asked.
"The Grint family line and." Mr. Grint began to say. He looked at Harry, Cho, and Paige and it seemed like he wanted them to say their names in gratitude.
"Harry Potter." Harry said.
"Cho Chang." Cho chimed in.
"And Paige Adams." Paige added.
"Dear lord, you have Harry Potter bidding in this." The priestess said laughing.
The whole crowd laughed and they all looked at Harry laughing. He laughed along with everybody else.
"The bride and groom have chosen to recite the traditional vows. So with that I will have both of you repeat the words that come out of my mouth from this book. Please follow carefully." The priestess said. "We'll start with you Samantha. I, Samantha Danielle Grint."
"I, Samantha Danielle Grint." Samantha repeated.
"Do take you, Ronald Michael Weasley to be my lawfully wedded husband." The priestess said.
"Do take you, Ronald Michael Weasley to be my lawfully wedded husband." Samantha said smiling.
Cho and Paige took a tissue from the stands. Paige used it to dab her eyes but Cho kept it close to her mouth. Her sudden rush kept on depriving her. It felt like it was eating her up inside. But she stood strong and elegant as possible. She knew she just had to stay through till the wedding was over.
"To have and to hold. Through sickness and in health. For richer and for poorer. I promise to comfort you as my duty to be your wife. I promise to love you forever more." The priestess said.
"To have and to hold. Through sickness and in health. For richer and for poorer." Samantha began to say as her words began to get choked up. "I promise to comfort you as my duty to be your wife. I promise to love you forever more."
"Ronald please repeat after me. I, Ronald Michael Weasley." The priestess said.
"I, Ronald Michael Weasley." Ron said almost distinctively.
"Take you Samantha Danielle Grint to be my lawfully wedded wife." The priestess said.
"Take you Samantha Danielle Grint to be my lawfully wedded." Ron began to say but he soon looked deep into Samantha's eyes and she smiled to give him courage to continue. "Wife."
"To have and to hold. Through sickness and in health. For richer and for poorer. I promise to comfort you as my duty to be your husband. I promise to love you forever more." The priestess said.
"To have and to hold.through sickness and in health. For richer and for poorer." Ron said softly as he smiled at Samantha. "I promise to comfort you as my duty to be your husband. I promise to love you forever more." Ron said.
"May I have the rings?" the priestess asked.
Harry and Cho had the rings tucked away with them. Harry took the box and gave it to Ron. Cho took her box and gave it to Samantha. They both took their places in the sides. Cho still felt queasy and everybody could see she almost fell from getting back up.
"Are you alright?" Paige asked in a low voice.
"I'm fine.really I'm fine." Cho replied in a soft voice.
Harry peered over to Cho to make sure she was fine but his eyes instantly reverted back as the priestess took a glance at them both.
"I see that the maid of honor and best man are a little edgy. Don't worry the ceremony will pass." The priestess said.
Everybody laughed and Cho only laughed slightly still covering her mouth with the tissue. She really did not feel well. She felt like she was draining. The priestess continued on.
"Ronald please slip the ring on Samantha's finger and repeat these words: My darling Samantha I give you this ring as a token of my devotion to you forever. With this ring it will prove to the world on how much I love you." The priestess said.
Ron took a breath and slipped the ring on Samantha's finger. "Dearest Samantha, I give you this ring as a token of my devotion to you forever. With this ring it will prove to the world on how much I love you." Ron said.
"Let us take a moment to give the bride a few seconds of composure. Any words Samantha that you would like to express?" the priestess asked.
Samantha sniffled as the tears of happiness came down. "I just can't believe I'm finally getting married to the man I love." She said smiling.
"Good times dear. Please take the ring you have in your hand and slip the ring on Ronald's finger repeating the words that he had said to you." The priestess said.
Samantha sniffled again and slipped the ring on Ron's finger. "My darling Ronald, I give you this ring as a token of my devotion to you forever. With this ring it will prove to the world on how much I love you." Samantha said softly.
The priestess smiled slightly. "By the power invested in me. By the power of the generations of magic I hearby intertwine these lovers in bliss." The priestess said.
A light shone from the rings that Samantha and Ron had exchanged. It shone so brightly and than it stopped in through revealing their hands again. It was like a power rush for Samantha and Ron.
"I now pronounce you wizard and wife.you may kiss your bride." The priestess said smiling.
Ron and Samantha smiled at each other and kissed. Everybody got up and applauded for the newlyweds.
"Everybody I give you the new Mr. And Mrs. Ronald Weasley!" the priestess exclaimed.
That night Ron and Samantha were staying in Harry and Cho's original Head Boy and room. They gave that to them as a wedding gift. Cho would be spending her last remaining months in the s dormitory and Harry would spend his in the boys dormitory. After the last few goodbyes Samantha took her veil off from her head. She rested upon Ron's shoulder smiling.
"I'm finally Mrs. Ronald Weasley." Samantha said.
"I'm finally married to the most beautiful woman I have ever met in my life." Ron said.
"You two should go for your honeymoon now." Paige said winking.
"Nyah, no way I'm sleeping. Good night Paige." Samantha said going up the stairs.
"Aww, honey that's not fair!" Ron said sarcastically as they walked up the stairs together.
Paige soon headed up the stairs after seeing Harry and Cho lying on the couch together. Cho was starting to regain her own stability.
"That must've been the worst wedding jitter I ever had in my life." Cho said softly as she closed her eyes.
"We'll make it through.I promise you that." Harry said kissing her softly on the forehead.
It was the sad and shocking truth. Cho was going through wedding jitters.or so they thought..
Dun dun dun! What do I mean by ..or so they thought.muahahahaha. Review and find out. ;-)
