Sorry there was so much lack of excitement from Ginny last Chapter, there's just so much sweet stuff between Harry and Ginny in this chapter, that I thought I didn't need it so much in the last one, anyway here goes.

Hermione watched as Tonks headed out first, the music played lightly, today Tonks had gone a more neutral color of blonde and she looked very good, Hermione had to say she looked nearly normal. She smiled as Molly headed out next tears streaming down her cheeks. Tonks had reached the male half of the wedding party this consisted of Fred and George who were standing in for Ron as co-best men. Neville Longbottom was next followed by Rubeus Hagrid who seemed to be uncontrollably balling. It was not a normal wedding party, but then again nothing about this wedding was exactly normal.
"It's your turn now Hermione." Arthur Weasley said from behind her she glanced at him excitedly she hugged Ginny quickly.
"Good luck." She said the started out toward the rest of the people every chair in the house was full and Hermione felt eyes on her from everywhere she however had locked eyes with Bill he was sitting with Charlie and his wife in the front row and he was gazing intently, almost sexually at Hermione she kept watching him watching their eyes occasionally meeting as she made her way finally to the front of the aisle Harry gave her a 'wish me good luck' sort of look and Hermione gave him a hidden thumbs up. Then Hermione turned her attention back to Bill, he was still looking at her however as his sister entered he finally gazed at Ginny as if realizing that this was indeed Ginny's day. She looked like an angel as Arthur lead her toward a beaming Harry. When she reached him their hands met reassuringly. Hermione caught them mouthing a brief 'I love you' to one another it made her smile on the inside. After a few minutes Hermione felt Bill's gaze return as the minister began the lead in. Hermione smiled at Bill who looked back at her.
"It is my understanding the Virginia and Harry have written their own vows. Harry you're up first." Harry looked directly into Ginny's eyes tears of joy in them Hermione let one tear make it's way down her cheek.
"Ginny." Harry managed. "I tried really hard to think of the perfect thing to say to you, I tried writing some elaborate speech, but that's just never been me. I decided I'd know what to say when the moment came and I do. For a long time I saw you as just Ron's kid sister, in some ways you were like a sister to me. However as time went on I finally saw you as something more. When you look into my eyes I know that I'm complete. You've given me a reason to wake up the morning. For the first time in my life I feel like someone truly loves me, not because I'm the boy who lived but because I'm Harry Potter. I cherish everything about you Ginny, and I always will, you're my soul mate and I will spend the rest of my life proving that to you." At these words Hermione nearly lost herself as Harry reached across and wiped the tears away from his brides eyes. The minister nodded for Ginny to begin.
"The first time I saw you, I was 10 years old and you were asking my mum how to get onto the hogwarts express, maybe it was fate, but I knew even them that you and I would end up together. When you became my brother's best friend I feared that you would always think of be as being like a sister, in fact my mum has always considered you her son. Then when I least expected it, you fell in love with me. I know that I'm not the prettiest girl or the smartest girl, but I'm the luckiest girl in world because I found you, I found that one person that I belong with and I will love you for all time." Ginny finished Harry even cried a little now. Hermione's face was now streaked with tears as she looked back to see Bill dabbing his own eyes it made her smile just a little. She heard Ginny repeat the traditional vows, and Harry do the same.
"The rings." The minister said Hermione pulled out the one she was carrying it handing it swiftly to Ginny, Fred and George pretended for just a second to have lost it then however Fred handed to Harry.
"Virginia repeat after me." the minister said "With this ring, I thee wed."
"With this ring I thee wed." Ginny said sliding the ring onto Harry's finger.
"Harry." The minister repeated "With this ring I thee wed.
"With this ring I thee wed." Harry said adding the ring to finger which contained Ginny's enormous engagement ring.
"I now pronounce you husband and wife, Mr. Potter you may kiss your bride." The man said Harry the swooped in Kissing Ginny firmly on the lips.
"Ladies and Gentlemen may I present you Mr. And Mrs. Harry Potter!" Harry and Ginny were still kissing as Hermione allowed Fred and George to lead her out of the backyard together they both had beaming smiles and Hermione laughed as both of their bow ties began to revolve.
"New product?" Hermione laughed
"No, we stole the idea from Peeves actually though they are quiet popular." George said.
"From the day I met Harry I knew he would marry Ginny, I always called him my son, and Ginny has made him that officially, we all love you so much Harry, never forget that." Molly said everyone toasted for the nineteenth time.
"I love you too Mum." Harry said in a sweet gesture that nearly sent Molly into tears again. Bill rolled his eyes he was sitting next to Hermione who smiled evilly.
"Ginny 6 years ago I bet you 10 galleons that one day you'd marry Harry." Hermione teased
"I forgot!" Ginny said as if suddenly remembering. She looked panicked for just an instant.
"I was going to say, that you paid me back twenty times over, you made my best friend the happiest man I alive and I will forever love you for that." Hermione said everyone cheered. Just then Harry and Ginny stood as the music began. They danced together kissing and touching. Hermione was so caught up in the moment that she didn't notice when Bill took her hand in his.
"May I have this dance madam Granger?" Bill asked Hermione grinned at him as he kissed her hand. Several minutes had past and a fast paced song by the weird sisters was playing full force.
"Why of course." She said allowing Bill to lead her onto the dance floor where others had already joined Harry and Ginny. Hermione laughed as Bill twirled her around running his hand dangerously close to her bottom. She let out a mere groan as the music stopped. A slow ballad began and Hermione prepared to head back to the table.
"Where do you think you're going?" Bill asked pulling her close against his chest he was enough taller then her that she could hear his heart beat in her ear.
"Nowhere." Hermione said relaxing against him.
"So what are you thinking about?" Bill asked.
"How amazing today was and I how amazing Harry and Ginny are together." Hermione admitted. "They are so in love." Molly was dancing with Harry now and Mr. Weasley with Ginny but somehow Ginny and Harry still seemed to keep eye contact so in love it was nearly painful.
"They are pretty amazing." Bill said smiling at the love in Ginny's eyes.
"I'd kill for that." Hermione said she looked up at Bill now locking her eyes with his.
"All I've ever wanted was to settle down and have children." Bill admitted. "I may be the rebel on the outside but on the inside I'm nothing like that."
"I know, it's one of the things I lov... Like about you." Hermione finished not wanted to give Bill the wrong idea however he looked at her even more deeply now allowing her to examine him it was if he was opening his soul to her. Her heart was racing in her chest her arms locked around Bill, bolts of chemistry were shooting threw her and she had no control, their faces were less then an inch apart Hermione licked her lips in anticipation wanting so badly kiss Bill in that moment. However just then she felt a tapping on her shoulder.
"Can I cut in?" She turned around almost angrily breaking eye contact with Bill. Harry stood behind her his round glasses sliding just slightly down his nose.
"Of course." Bill said as if anxious to break away from Hermione. However he leaned in almost seductively and whispered. "We'll continue this later." At that Harry pulled her away.
"That was so amazing." Hermione mutter as soon as they were a good distance from Bill.
"I wish Ron had been here to see it he would have been so happy." Harry said Hermione suddenly felt a twinge of guilt she hadn't thought of Ron once since she'd arrived.
"I know, he loved you and Ginny so much, this would have been one of the best day's of his life." Hermione said.
"I always thought the two of you would get married first." Harry admitted.
"Harry we were never even together." Hermione said with a smile
"No, but don't lie and say you wouldn't have married Ron if he were still alive."
"It's a strong possibility." Hermione admitted she looked out and saw Bill dancing ridiculous with his mother she let out a nearly silent laugh.
"So I hear Bill is temporarily taking over the hunt for Lucius." Harry said catching the quick little gesture.
"Yeah." Hermione admitted a silly grin across her face.
"So he's staying with you at Grimmauld place?" Harry asked
"Yes, at least for now." Hermione paused seeing the look on Harry's face. "It's not what you're thinking, we enjoy each other's company I get lonely I practically begged him to stay."
"I just want you know 'Mione," That if there is something between you and Bill I have no problem with it."
"Nothing's going on." Hermione said her eyes surfing the crowd again for Bill.
"I guess that almost kiss I saw when I cut in was nothing then." Harry said Hermione turned instantly red.
"It wasn't what you thought." Hermione clarified.
"I know you better then just about anyone Hermione, and I you like Bill." Harry looked at her, "I see it in your eyes when you look at him, it's the same why you used to look at Ron."
"He's growing on me." Hermione admitted Harry smiled
"I knew it." he said pointedly.
"Well nothing's happened yet." Hermione said "But it's good to know that if something did happen you'd support me."
"Ron wouldn't want you to give up on love because of him." Harry said "He'd want you to be happy and I think he'd be thrilled that you found love with Bill."
"It's not love Harry, it's flirtation." Hermione said
"Ahh humm." She heard Bill's voice behind her.
"Yes?" Hermione said hoping he hadn't heard much of the conversation.
"Mum wants everyone in the wedding party for pictures." He said Hermione smiled as he took her hand and lead her toward the camera.
"Everybody say Cheese." The photographer said Hermione laughed and smiled never taking her eyes off Bill as he stood to the side watching her just as intently as ever..
