Harry Potter and the Power of Love

Chapter 1- The Wedding Goodbye

There was a slight breeze that brushed the grass near Harry's feet. He was staring out at white chairs and a white aisle. Music played in the distance and Ginny and Gabrielle walked down the aisle wearing maroon gowns. Harry saw the look on Ginny's face. It was a look of upset and he knew why. As they stood near the gates of the Burrow's Harry's eyes locked on Hermione and Ron, both of whom were sitting together and looked slightly distant. Harry knew he couldn't be by the ones he loved because it might just make him not want to leave. He knew of his important mission that he started with Dumbledore in his previous year.

Only a week before Dumbledore, the Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and wizardry was killed. Harry had finally learned the answer to the question that has always haunted him. How did Voldemort survive? Hericruxs.He and Dumbledore went on a mission to try and find one of the hericruxs for Voldemort placed his soul within six of them. It turns out it was a fake and all Harry was left with was a locket and a note written by someone with the initials R.A.B. Harry didn't really know where to start, but he knew that going back to school was not an option. He would have to let his heart and mind guide him where to go next.

His thoughts were interrupted by the rustle of guests getting up. He looked up to find Fleur Delacour walking down the aisle, wearing a white flowery dress. The ceremony was fairly quick and the family piled into the Burrow for the reception. Ron, Hermione and Ginny waited up for harry.

"It was a beautiful wedding wasn't it" said Hermione, tears welling up in her eyes. "I really I could go with you Harry, but my parents want me to go back to school".

"Same here mate. Although I don't see what use the school would be to us now that Dumbledore is dead".

Harry smiled. "Well at least you would be slightly safer there than in the your homes. But I'm not meant to go back and glad you guys aren't coing because I can't risk someone I love dying again". At this he looked at Ginny, who he was surprised to see smiling.

"Harry. You will always have me to be there for you no matter what. I have a feeling that we will be together again" She looked at everyone. "All of us".

Ginny kissed Harry and tears fell down his eyes. He found happiness in Ginny that he never had before in anyone. And it was then that he discovered he loved her.

When they pulled apart he saw that Ginny was crying too. He comforted her by hugging her. "The moment I get back, we can be together again. I promise. But this is something I have to do".

Ginny smiled weakly. "I know. That's why I'm letting you go".

Hermione started to cry into Ron's arms. He then looked at Harry. "So I guess you heard that Hogwarts is no longer teaching regular subjects"

"Yah, it's just a school to help you learn how to defeat Voldemort. Funny, it won't work unless I complete my mission. So I guess you won't need school books?"

Ron shook his head. "We are going to learn spells and defenses and how to use the Unforgiveable Curses"

"So Harry" said Hermione, rubbing her eyes. "Where do you plan on going?"

"The Dursley's first. I was told by Dumbledore to do that. Then I guess I'll start my mission with the Hurcruxs by trying to find out who R.A.B is. I'm sure to find clues somewhere that will lead me where to go".

They all nodded. Ginny looked to the Burrow and back at Harry. " Well I guess that we should be going now".

Harry nodded and looked at his three friends. He knew that saying goodbye would be hard, but he didn't know if he would ever see them again. He walked off into the distance thought hard about where he was going and Dissaperated. Ron, Hermione and Ginny lingered for a few more moments and then walked begrudgingly up o the house. When Ginny reached the door and looked back she whispered a quite goodbye and entered the house.
