Chapter 4: Wedding Bells
"You look beautiful Katie. I can't believe you are marrying the famous Harry Potter. I would never have thought." Katie's best friend, Alicia Spinnet, said as Katie only smiled.
"I know. I remember when we use to mess around and bet who could get his attention first in his first year, but he was to naïve to notice," Katie's other best friend, Angelina Johnson said giggling.
"Yeah, a lot of things have changed since then," Katie said as all three of her bridesmaids gave her a look of understanding.
Today was the day of Katie and Harry's wedding. Katie had three bridesmaids. Alicia Spinnet, Angelina Johnson and Cho Chang, who Katie had befriended in her 6th year. Katie was wearing a beautiful white muggle wedding dress. The three bridesmaids were wearing the finest pink dressrobes around, all compliments of Harry.
"I can't believe he bought these for us. How much money does he have?" Cho asked looking at her beautiful dressrobes.
"Yeah, what does he plan on doing with his life?" Alicia asked interestedly.
"Cho, that was a dumb question. I mean, look at his castle. He has his own castle Cho. He has to be the richest wizard in London. I mean he has his own forest and lake," Angelina said with jealousy in her voice.
"Actually the forest is an illusion. The lake is real though. Harry uses the forest to train with Remus. He took his N.E.W.T exams last week and got high enough to join Auror training. He is training to be an Auror," Katie said happily.
"That is great Katie. So he is actually going to work for the Ministry?" Alicia said as Katie nodded.
"So who is actually going to be here Katie? I mean, Harry hates a lot of people," Cho began as Katie just smiled.
"Harry is growing. He has not forgotten the past, but he starting to put it behind him. He told me I could invite anyone I wanted so I invited everyone, except Percy of course," Katie said happily, nothing could change her good mood.
"Good, I can't stand that git!" Alicia said darkly.
Alicia had dated Percy right after Katie had and the end result had come out the same. Katie just smiled at her three friends. They all gave each other a look because it was almost time for the wedding.
"Katie, we have a question that you might not like, but we have to ask. Are you sure you want to go through with this?" Angelina said looking at Katie then to her other two friends.
"Listen, I love Harry. Harry loves me, a lot. I have always wanted to marry a man that was a real man. Harry defines what a real man is. He is caring, loyal, brave. The list goes on and after Harry, I don't see myself with any other man," Katie said as if she had this ready if the question came up.
"Well good, because if you didn't I would," Alicia said breaking the few moments silence as all the girls started to giggle.
"It is time," Katie said upon hearing the start of the music.
.........
"Well Harry, today is your big day. Are you ready?" Remus said as Harry beamed.
"Never been more ready for anything in my life," Harry said as Remus began to fix his all black muggle tuxedo.
"If your parents were alive, boy, they'd be proud," came the growling voice of Alastor Moody.
"Thank you Alastor. I am glad you decided to be a part of the wedding," Harry said as Alastor nodded.
Alastor and Remus had been in contact with each other after Remus had left. Harry only forgave Moody for helping Remus in his time of need. Moody had forced Remus to eat, when he wouldn't. Moody almost went as far as using the Imperius curse on him and for that, Harry was grateful.
"You know Katie invited half the Wizarding World," Hagrid's booming voice said as Harry smiled.
"I know. I told her she could invite anyone she likes. This is our special day, nothing is going to ruin that. I am not going to let the past ruin what I have now. I love Katie too much," Harry said as Remus, Hagrid and Alastor all looked at each other, knowingly.
"It is great you found someone Harry. You are lucky," Hagrid said as Harry smiled. "It is time we take our positions."
"Harry do you have the thing ready," Remus said as Harry smirked and nodded.
The thing Remus was talking about was the only way Harry allowed all these people to come. They all knew the location of the castle now, but wouldn't after they apparated to leave because of the charms Harry set up. Once they apparated it would work as a memory charm making them forget the location. It was a perfect plan.
"We better go," Harry said smiling at all of them before he left.
'It is time. This what I have been waiting for,' he thought excitedly as he walked out of room.
.........
The Wedding was a grand event. Over a thousand witches and wizards with their children watched as Katie walked down the aisle on her father's arm. Harry had never seen something so beautiful. Harry only faintly remembered when Angelina gave Katie the ring and she put it on his finger. The ring was solid gold, but nothing too fancy.
Harry only faintly remembered when Remus, Harry's best man, gave him the ring to put on Katie's finger. Katie and every other girl at the wedding let out a gasp at the sight of the ring Harry had gotten for Katie. It was silver with three diamonds. The middle diamond being the biggest diamond. Harry slipped it on her finger and Katie looked like she might faint. The wedding was topped off when the pastor said, "You may kiss the bride." There was a loud applause as Katie and Harry kissed.
The Wedding was over, but the reception hadn't begun yet. Harry and Katie were beaming at a group of people. Harry had his arms wrapped around Katie as if would never let go. Harry drew his wand and amplified his voice.
"Thank you all for coming out to our home. The reception will begin now. If you guys would just head over there," Harry said pointing over to the other side of the yard, "there are refreshments." Harry said smiling as the crowd began to head over to the refreshment table.
"Let's go greet everyone," Katie said whispering in Harry's ear as Harry only nodded.
Most of the girls hadn't headed over to the refreshment table, they were waiting to see Katie's ring close up so Harry left Katie to go greet the other guys. Harry headed over to where Remus was with Hagrid.
"Hello Remus, Hagrid," Harry said as they both smiled.
"Congratulations Harry, your parents would have been proud. You picked a great lady," Remus sad as Harry smiled.
"Thank you, I am glad you were my best man," Harry said smiling as Remus smiled genuinely. "Did you see Tonks?" Harry asked as Remus's smile faded.
"Yes." Remus said sadly.
"Well, did you talk to her?" Harry asked as Remus shook his head.
"She is here with her new boyfriend, Charlie Weasley," Remus said as Harry frowned and only nodded.
"I am sorry Remus. Come with me to go greet everyone," Harry said as Remus just nodded and followed Harry.
"Hello Harry. Congratulations on getting into Auror Training," Albus Dumbledore said raising his glass.
"Thank you Albus. Thank you for coming," Harry said walking by. Remus didn't even acknowledge him.
"Congratulations Harry," someone said as Harry turned around to see Neville Longbottom.
"Well I'll be, it is Neville Longbottom. How have you been?" Harry asked as Neville shrugged.
"Alright, alright. I am a Herbologist at the Third World Greenhouse in London, but it might be shut down due to funding so I might go into Auror Training this summer," Neville said as Harry smiled.
"I myself am going into Auror Training this summer. It is good that you are doing well, what is this about your Greenhouse getting shut down?" Harry asked as Neville frowned as Luna Lovegood came up besides him and took his hand.
"Well, the Ministry doesn't think we are producing well enough so they plan to shut us down. It is going to leave a lot of the younger Herbologists out of a job." Neville said sadly as Luna gave him a kiss on the cheek.
"Well listen, contact me in a couple weeks and I will see what I can do for you. I will be hooked up to the floo network by then. Hello Luna." Harry said as Luna smiled.
"Nice to see you Harry, thank you for inviting us," she said as Harry nodded.
"Your welcome, so what are you up to nowadays?" Harry asked as Neville answered for her.
"Luna works for her father on the Quibbler, but she is taking some time off due to..." Neville said but didn't seem to want to finish.
"I am pregnant," Luna said in her dreamy voice as Neville turned pale.
"Everytime she says that I always feel sick," Neville said as Harry laughed.
"Well, congratulations on being pregnant. I have to go greet the other guests now, but remember to come see me Neville," Harry said nodding before he walked off to greet his other guests.
"Well, well. The man of the hour," Seamus Finnegan said as Harry smiled.
"Hello Seamus," Harry said as shaking his old school friends hand.
"It is nice to see you again Harry. Things were never the same after you left. Malfoy had a free path to run all over all the Gryffindors." Seamus said as Harry only raised his eyebrows.
"Sorry Harry, but it is true," Seamus said seeing Harry felt uncomfortable.
"I know, nothing will ever be the same. I hope you had a good time. How is life going for you? How is Dean?" Harry asked as Seamus frowned.
"Life is okay. I am a bachelor. Lavender and I are off and on, but Dean died Harry. In the summer before our 7th year, Voldemort killed him and his family," Seamus said sadly.
"I am sorry to hear that. Well at least Voldemort can't kill anymore," Harry said as Seamus raised his glass.
"Your damn right," Seamus said, "Well, I live in Hogsmeade with Terry Boot. Man this guy is a square. I mean I want to throw a party, he says I can only invite ten people. I mean... he is standing behind me, huh?" Seamus said seeing the look on Harry's face. Harry only smiled as Seamus turned around to find Terry Boot behind him.
"Well, hey Terry. Good to see you," Seamus said with a smirk, as Terry looked visibly angry. Harry let out a laugh.
"It is good to see you two. I have to go," Harry said smiling as he walked off.
Harry finally made it to the refreshment table where most of the guys were. Remus had already made it there with Hagrid and they were laughing and joking with Alastor.
"Hello everyone, thank you all for coming," Harry said to the group of people.
"Mr. Potter, your home is marvelous. I would like to congratulate you for marrying a beautiful young woman such as Ms. Bell," Cornelius Fudge said loudly for everyone to hear.
"Thank you Minister, I am glad you decided to come."
"So Mr. Potter, what do you plan on doing with your life now that you are married?" The Minister asked.
"Well, I am joining Auror Training." Harry said as the Minister nodded in approval.
"So you are joining the Ministry? That is good to hear. We need more men like you in the ministry," the Minister said as Harry smiled.
After Harry's fifth year, Cornelius had put his all into Voldemort and Harry respected that. Cornelius has taken the fight to Voldemort even though hope was slim. Cornelius had become one of the most respected Ministers of his time, although the blunder of not recognizing Voldemort was truly back almost cost him everything.
"Yeah, I plan to get out of Auror Training in about three months," Harry said as the Minister began to laugh. Harry gave him a cold look.
"Are you serious Mr. Potter? Auror Training takes almost two years to finish," the Minister said as Harry smiled.
"I know," Harry said with a nod, offering his goodbye because Katie was coming towards him.
"There you are. I have been looking all over you Harry," Katie said walking up and giving him a kiss. "Hello Minister," she said smiling.
"Hello Ms. Bell or should I say Mrs. Potter. So where do you guys plan on going for your Honeymoon?" The Minister asked as Katie smiled.
"I don't know yet, Harry hasn't told me," she said looking accusingly at Harry who only smirked.
"Well I guess you can know now that it is almost time to go, I bought a home in a little wizarding town in Madrid, Spain. We will go there before we take a tour across the Spain Wizarding World," Harry said as Katie clapped excitedly before she enveloped Harry into a hug.
"It sounds great Harry!" she said happily.
"Yes, that is pretty impressive Potter. Madrid, Spain is one of the nicest wizarding communities around. It is really hard to get a home in Madrid," the Minister said as Harry nodded.
"I know, I have some connections up there so I was able to buy a home," Harry said as the Minster raised his eyebrows.
In truth, Harry didn't have really any connections there when he first went there three weeks ago. Harry arrived to see if he could buy a house and the people of the small town showed him the door. At the time they were having a problem with a local vampire that had been attacking people in the village and they didn't want any new people to come into the village.
Harry stuck around of course. The vampire attacked the pub where Harry was having a drink at the time and Harry ended up dealing with the beast. Harry gained respect after that and soon befriended several people of the village. He gained respect from the whole town when they found out he was the one that dealt with Voldemort, which was a name not spoken in the town, but known very well.
"I have always wanted a summer home up there," the Minister said as Harry smiled.
"Well, maybe I can talk to some of my friends up there," Harry said as the Minister smiled.
"When did you get friends in Spain?" Katie asked as Harry smiled at her.
"I will tell you later," he said whispering in her ear.
"Let's go give our greetings to everyone before we go," Katie said as Harry nodded.
Harry and Katie went around and greeted everyone. Harry and Katie talked to Katie's parents for a while before they talked to a lot of old classmates and a lot of their old professors. Harry was ready to get out of there by the time Katie dragged him up to the Weasleys.
"Thank you for coming Arthur," Katie said shaking his hand "Thanks to all of you."
"It was our pleasure." Arthur said as his magic eye moved around eyeing everything with suspicion. "This is a mighty fine home you got here Harry," he said as Katie elbowed Harry in the ribs in order to make him respond.
"Thank you Arthur, that is a mighty fine, eye you got there," Harry said as Fred and George, who was standing behind their parents began to laugh.
"Good one," Fred said laughing loudly.
"Harry!" Katie said about ready to hit Harry although she looked ready to laugh.
"No it is all right Mrs. Potter. I like my eyes, even though I hate the way I lost my other one," Arthur said with a smile.
"How did that happen?" Harry asked as Arthur took out his magic eye and began to rub the socket.
"It sticks. I got it when a group of Death Eaters attacked in front of the Order Headquarters. There was an explosion that sent rocks flying. One of those rocks caught my in the face and I was blinded so they gave me a choice. They could remove the eye and give me a magical one or I could be part blind. You know the obvious choice," Arthur said with a laugh as Harry and Katie only nodded.
"Well it was nice seeing you," Katie said nudging Harry in the ribs again.
"Yeah, nice seeing you," he said not really meaning it, but Katie didn't seem to notice.
"Fred, George it is so good you could make it," Katie said giving both of them hugs. Harry only nodded.
"Thank you for inviting us," they said together as Katie smiled.
"Of course, we couldn't have our two notorious Beaters not show," she said as Fred and George both nodded and smiled.
"Hello Ron, Hermione," Harry said seeing them behind Fred and George and walking over to them.
"Hey," they said together.
"Thank you for coming," Harry said before turning around and going next to Katie.
'Well good, that is over,' Harry thought to himself smiling at Katie.
"I am happy you invited us Harry, but what's with no invitation for Bill?" Ron said fending off Hermione who was trying to stop him.
"I can answer that for you Ron," Katie said turning around. "Harry and I didn't want him here," she said as Ron glared at her.
"I wasn't talking to you Katie," Ron said as Harry turned around in a flash.
"Don't you ever talk to my wife like that again Weasley!" Harry said angrily with intensity in his eyes that would make most people back away in fright.
"I just want to know Harry why you single him out?" Ron said angrily.
"You want to know, fine I'll tell you," Harry said in a low voice.
"No, Harry don't," Katie said as Harry shook his head.
"Sorry Katie, but he wants to know. You want to why we singled him out. We singled him out because your brother is coward," Harry said as Ron almost exploded with anger.
"My Brother has dedicated his life to catching Dark Wizards, he is no coward!" Ron yelled causing people to come and look at them.
"No Ron, your Brother is a coward. You want know what he used to do. He used to come to Azkaban while I was in there every couple months. Beat me to a bloody pulp. He beat a broken man that couldn't defend himself and the only reason he stopped was because he thought Katie caught him. He almost killed me the last time when he thought Katie had caught him. That sounds like a coward to me," Harry said in a low voice, but pretty much everyone had been listening.
"You are LIAR!" Ron screamed drawing his wand.
"I will not fight you Ron! Because I don't think I could stop myself from killing you. Pinky!" Harry yelled as there was a loud crackle of apparation. "Would you please escort Mr. Weasley off the premises?" Harry asked as little houseelf shot a spell at Ron disarming him.
The little houseelf ran and grabbed hold off Ron and apparated both of them away with a loud pop. Harry walked over and picked up Ron's wand. He walked over to Hermione and handed Ron's wand to her. She had tears in her eyes. He drew his wand to his voice box.
"Sonorus," Harry said. "I think the reception is over," Harry's amplified voice said to the crowd that was watching him intently.
"Is it true Harry?" Albus Dumbledore said walking over to Harry through the crowd. "What you said?" he asked as Harry gave him a cold glare.
"Why would I lie?" Harry asked as Albus held a hand up.
"My apologies. We are going to have to get this sorted out Harry. Bill could be kicked off the Auror squad if he is found guilty of these charges and maybe even spend some time in Azkaban," Albus said frowning.
"No, it doesn't matter. We are done here," Harry said drawing his wand again. "Everybody scatter out, we are leaving for our Honeymoon now," Harry said as Cornelius Fudge walked over to him.
"If this is true we need..." Cornelius said but Harry cut him off.
"No, it doesn't matter. Remus would you see that these people leave in the appropriate place. Katie," Harry said turning to his wife, "are you ready to go?"
"Never more honey," Katie said with a sigh. "Let's go get our stuff," she said as Harry nodded and they ran off towards the castle.
.........
Some people think I am rushing through this story and that the way Harry is acting is not believable... I think you are wrong, because just look how Sirius acted when he broke out... he started helping Dumbledore even though Dumbledore believed he was guilty... The purpose of this story is based around the new Dark Lord, nothing else... Will Harry, Ron and Hermione be best friends? No, they won't... Friends? Maybe, I am not sure yet... Okay everyone now that is out of the way, I hope you like this chapter... I tried my best on it although I am not very smart about weddings... I hope you enjoyed it... thanks to my beta... please review...

Harry gained respect after that and soon befriended several people of the village. He gained respect from the whole town when they found out he was the one that dealt with Voldemort, which was a name not spoken in the town, but known very well.
"I have always wanted a summer home up there," the Minister said as Harry smiled.
"Well, maybe I can talk to some of my friends up there," Harry said as the Minister smiled.
"When did you get friends in Spain?" Katie asked as Harry smiled at her.
"I will tell you later," he said whispering in her ear.
"Let's go give our greetings to everyone before we go," Katie said as Harry nodded.
Harry and Katie went around and greeted everyone. Harry and Katie talked to Katie's parents for a while before they talked to a lot of old classmates and a lot of their old professors. Harry was ready to get out of there by the time Katie dragged him up to the Weasleys.
"Thank you for coming Arthur," Katie said shaking his hand "Thanks to all of you."
"It was our pleasure." Arthur said as his magic eye moved around eyeing everything with suspicion. "This is a mighty fine home you got here Harry," he said as Katie elbowed Harry in the ribs in order to make him respond.
"Thank you Arthur, that is a mighty fine, eye you got there," Harry said as Fred and George, who was standing behind their parents began to laugh.
"Good one," Fred said laughing loudly.
"Harry!" Katie said about ready to hit Harry although she looked ready to laugh.
"No it is all right Mrs. Potter. I like my eyes, even though I hate the way I lost my other one," Arthur said with a smile.
"How did that happen?" Harry asked as Arthur took out his magic eye and began to rub the socket.
"It sticks. I got it when a group of Death Eaters attacked in front of the Order Headquarters. There was an explosion that sent rocks flying. One of those rocks caught my in the face and I was blinded so they gave me a choice. They could remove the eye and give me a magical one or I could be part blind. You know the obvious choice," Arthur said with a laugh as Harry and Katie only nodded.
"Well it was nice seeing you," Katie said nudging Harry in the ribs again.
"Yeah, nice seeing you," he said not really meaning it, but Katie didn't seem to notice.
"Fred, George it is so good you could make it," Katie said giving both of them hugs. Harry only nodded.
"Thank you for inviting us," they said together as Katie smiled.
"Of course, we couldn't have our two notorious Beaters not show," she said as Fred and George both nodded and smiled.
"Hello Ron, Hermione," Harry said seeing them behind Fred and George and walking over to them.
"Hey," they said together.
"Thank you for coming," Harry said before turning around and going next to Katie.
'Well good, that is over,' Harry thought to himself smiling at Katie.
"I am happy you invited us Harry, but what's with no invitation for Bill?" Ron said fending off Hermione who was trying to stop him.
"I can answer that for you Ron," Katie said turning around. "Harry and I didn't want him here," she said as Ron glared at her.
"I wasn't talking to you Katie," Ron said as Harry turned around in a flash.
"Don't you ever talk to my wife like that again Weasley!" Harry said angrily with intensity in his eyes that would make most people back away in fright.
"I just want to know Harry why you single him out?" Ron said angrily.
"You want to know, fine I'll tell you," Harry said in a low voice.
"No, Harry don't," Katie said as Harry shook his head.
"Sorry Katie, but he wants to know. You want to why we singled him out. We singled him out because your brother is coward," Harry said as Ron almost exploded with anger.
"My Brother has dedicated his life to catching Dark Wizards, he is no coward!" Ron yelled causing people to come and look at them.
"No Ron, your Brother is a coward. You want know what he used to do. He used to come to Azkaban while I was in there every couple months. Beat me to a bloody pulp. He beat a broken man that couldn't defend himself and the only reason he stopped was because he thought Katie caught him. He almost killed me the last time when he thought Katie had caught him. That sounds like a coward to me," Harry said in a low voice, but pretty much everyone had been listening.
"You are LIAR!" Ron screamed drawing his wand.
"I will not fight you Ron! Because I don't think I could stop myself from killing you. Pinky!" Harry yelled as there was a loud crackle of apparation. "Would you please escort Mr. Weasley off the premises?" Harry asked as little houseelf shot a spell at Ron disarming him.
The little houseelf ran and grabbed hold off Ron and apparated both of them away with a loud pop. Harry walked over and picked up Ron's wand. He walked over to Hermione and handed Ron's wand to her. She had tears in her eyes. He drew his wand to his voice box.
"Sonorus," Harry said. "I think the reception is over," Harry's amplified voice said to the crowd that was watching him intently.
"Is it true Harry?" Albus Dumbledore said walking over to Harry through the crowd. "What you said?" he asked as Harry gave him a cold glare.
"Why would I lie?" Harry asked as Albus held a hand up.
"My apologies. We are going to have to get this sorted out Harry. Bill could be kicked off the Auror squad if he is found guilty of these charges and maybe even spend some time in Azkaban," Albus said frowning.
"No, it doesn't matter. We are done here," Harry said drawing his wand again. "Everybody scatter out, we are leaving for our Honeymoon now," Harry said as Cornelius Fudge walked over to him.
"If this is true we need..." Cornelius said but Harry cut him off.
"No, it doesn't matter. Remus would you see that these people leave in the appropriate place. Katie," Harry said turning to his wife, "are you ready to go?"
"Never more honey," Katie said with a sigh. "Let's go get our stuff," she said as Harry nodded and they ran off towards the castle.

Some people think I am rushing through this story and that the way Harry is acting is not believable... I think you are wrong, because just look how Sirius acted when he broke out... he started helping Dumbledore even though Dumbledore believed he was guilty... The purpose of this story is based around the new Dark Lord, nothing else... Will Harry, Ron and Hermione be best friends? No, they won't... Friends? Maybe, I am not sure yet... Okay everyone now that is out of the way, I hope you like this chapter... I tried my best on it although I am not very smart about weddings... I hope you enjoyed it... thanks to my beta... please review...
