Chapter 3: Wonderful Wonderful Day

Ginny and Harry rode silently for a few miles. Ginny was admiring the scenery and looking at her nails and dress. Harry started humming.

Ginny pulled her bonnet off, and looked down at her dress. "I'm not much of a bride with only this dress."

"You'll find a trunk in the attic that has dresses that belonged to my Ma," Harry informed her.

Ginny smiled, "I'd like to wear something that belonged to your mother. My mother left me these," She rooted around in her bag and pulled an item out, "They're seeds to plant in a flower garden. And my father left me these," this time she pulled out to books, "Plutarch's Lives and the Bible. Taught me to read by them. I hope someday I can teach our…"

She trailed off as she realised she was getting a bit a head of herself. "How far is the farm?"

"About 12 miles."

"Imagine," Ginny said, "Me on the way to my own home. I feel so wonderful I could yell."

"Go ahead," Harry told her. She shouted out. The sound of her voice echoed off the cliff walls.

Harry laughed at her expression, "Echo Pass. It isn't safe to shout in winter. Might start an avalanche. There was one last year, only small though."

Harry pulled the wagon to a stop and allowed the horses to have a drink. Harry helped Ginny down from the wagon, when her feet touched the floor she ran off and started picking some green herb.

"Sorrel?" Questioned a bemused Harry.

"Makes good soup." She sighed. "After all those years at the inn I can finally cook and care for one man." Ginny informed him. "Now its happened I can't hardly believe it!"

Harry coughed awkwardly and moved as if to say something. But Ginny's charming singing cut him off,

"Ding dong, ding-a-ling dong
Were the steeple bells ever quite as gay?
Wonderful Wonderful Day

Bluebirds in the bluebells
Sing a song to send me along my way
Wonderful Wonderful Day

Though I've got to own up
I'm as grown up as can be
Seems I've gone and flown up
To a bright merry, airy fairyland
And so you'll forgive me
If I simply throw out my chest and say
Beautiful, glorious,
Heavenly, marvellous
Wonderful Wonderful Day

Big clouds floatin' lazy
Like a daisy in the sky
Big things to be doin' bye and bye
Goin' flow'n' growin' things
Big love for my darlin'
As we share whatever may come our way
Beautiful, glorious,
Heavenly, marvellous
Wonderful Wonderful Day."

Harry smiled as Ginny stopped in front off him. He leaned down and kissed her soundly on the lips. Ginny smiled against his mouth; This really is a wonderful day she thought to herself.

Hey, I'm back! My holiday was great, but no tan because I don't tan I burn. But I'm not burnt either, so that's good.

I promised to update as soon as I got back but my mom made me spend yesterday sorting out my suitcase and washing all my clothes (though, I felt better knowing my brother was at school!). So I'm posting two chapters at once!

Thanks to my reviewers! Especially Lizzy Weasley who liked the McGonagall and Snape Mercantile. It was something left over from the novel I had to read for my GCSE's, "Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry" by Milred Taylor- it's a really good book.
