A.N./ Remember I started the fic before we knew that Ginny's first name was Ginerva and not Virginia. So just bare with me, please! Here's Ginny and Harry's Wedding!


Chapter 12

Christmas Day would never be the same for the Potter children, as Anthony had been killed on Christmas day. Adora and Bridget of course had been torn up the most. Although, Harry and Susan weren't much behind them.

Anthony had raised Bridget since the day she was born and as soon as Adora had found out her father hadn't actually died, she had clung onto him as much as she could. Both Susan and Harry had fallen in love with their grandfather and it was very hard to lose him.

For Sirius and Arabella, Anthony had been like a father like figure to them and to lose him a second time hurt just as badly as when they thought he'd died years ago. It was like losing Anthony, Lily, James, and Remus all over again.

The funeral had been a very beautiful one and Ginny was still a bit upset that he'd sacrificed his life for her. She couldn't get what he'd said to her out of her head, "Saving your bloody neck, you shouldn't be…" But of course she never found out what she shouldn't be doing. Ginny figured had something to do with the prophecies, with the twins.

Lots of people had shown up at the funeral, lots of friends and co-workers. Everyone to come and pay respects to the great Anthony Potter. One of the best Aurors ever and he'd be a great Minister of Magic, in his day. James had followed him in being an Auror and everyone had expected James to be the next Minister of Magic, but James and Lily's lives had been cut off short as everyone knew.

Secretly everyone wished that Harry would follow in the footsteps of his grandfather and father. What hardly anyone knew was that Harry was making everyone's wishes come true. Harry too wanted to become an Auror and one day become Minister of Magic, and honor his work in the names of his grandparents and parents. Aurora and Harold Evans, Bridget and Anthony Potter, and of course Lily and James Potter.

Harry and Ginny agreed to go on with the Wedding, Anthony wouldn't have wanted them to cancel. Anthony would have wanted them to go on with the wedding.

Speaking of the Potter/Weasley Wedding, it would be starting in a matter of thirty minutes. Both the Groom and Bride were as nervous as could be.

Bridal Room

Ginny was pacing back and forth in her Wedding Gown driving her mum, Arabella, Adora, Bridget, and Susan crazy.

"What if…what if he doesn't show up? What if he realizes that he could do better than me?"

"Ginny he wouldn't," Adora said grabbing Ginny's hand into her own. "Ginny, Harry loves you with all of his heart and soul. Harry would never leave you, I bet you he's thinking the same thing at the moment."

"You really think so?"

"I know so."

"You know Ginny," Molly started to sitting beside her only daughter as Bridget finished Ginny's hair and Susan finished Ginny's makeup. "I was as nervous as you are at this moment almost twenty-five years ago. During our Honeymoon your father confessed to me that he'd been a nervous wreck as did I."

"I was nervous before Sirius and my wedding too," Arabella said getting the babies dressed in their flower girl dresses. They'd be in a white baby wagon that would roll along itself and throw flowers out and of course the babies would help. "As much as I loved Sirius and we had planned to get married the day after Lily and James had died, I was still terrified. I really thought he wouldn't show up."

"Really? Both you and mum?"

"Me too," Susan said applying some mascara to Ginny's eyes. "I thought I'd go nuts before Draco and I said 'I do.' But everything turned out fine and look in a month we'll have been married a year, sure doesn't seem that long."

"Never does sweetheart," Molly said laughing. "I've been married to Arthur almost twenty-five years now. It will be twenty-five years on June sixteenth."

"Two years for Sirius and me on August first."

Ginny smiled, "I guess you guys are all right. And all of your marriages turned out to be good."

Groom's Room

Harry was in the middle of pulling his hair out while pacing the floor, Ron swore that the floor would fall in any moment now. Ron and Sirius were his best men, he couldn't pick between the two of them. Ron had been the first person ever to befriend him and didn't care that he was the famous Harry Potter, The-Boy-Who-Lived. Ron had seen Harry for who he was a normal eleven year old boy.

Sirius had been his Godfather, his parents best friend, and the one adult he knew he could tell his problems to without freaking out. Oliver Wood and Neville Longbottom would be ushers. Bridget swore to Harry and Ginny that she didn't mind if her two old flings were part of the wedding as she had been. Of course Sirius knew nothing about it. Now Sirius and Ron were silently chuckling at the Groom-To-Be, while he was completely freaking out. They were beginning to make a bit of noise and Harry heard.

"Could you guys please quit being jerks!" Oh yes, the Potter anger was in full swing, "I am getting married any moment now and I'm freaking out because I swear that she'll just realize she doesn't want to marry me and just walk out."

Ron laughed so hard snot came out of his mouth, "Ginny walk out on you? Are you bloody kidding me! Ginny has been in love with you since the first day she laid her eyes on you!"

"When was that?" Sirius asked and both Harry and Ron looked at him unbelievingly.

"First year, when Harry asked Mum how to get on Platform 9 ¾."

"Ah, I think I've heard this story before," Sirius said shaking his head and the others shook their heads in disbelief.

There was a knock at the door and it opened slowly, "Boys? Are you ready yet?" Molly asked smiling at Harry when he obviously looked scared out of his mind.

Molly pulled him down to the couch in the room and sat down beside him, "Darling she won't be leaving you tonight. You are Virginia's perfect soul mate in every way possible. I know there is no way Ginny will walk out on you today as I know you will not walk out on her today neither." Harry nodded, and Molly gripped his hand tightly, "Son it's time."

Bride's Room

Arabella looked down at her watch, "Girls it's almost time!"

Susan turned around smiling, "Good thing Bridget and I just finished."

"I'm going to make sure the guys are already in the ballroom, so Harry doesn't see Virginia before she comes down the aisle with Arthur."

Five Minutes Later

"Let's go girls," Arabella said walking back in the room taking the baby carriage with Breeanna and Roselyn in it. "Okay the order is me pulling the girls in the carriage with my flowers, Susan, Adora, Bridget, and then Ginny. Molly is already in the audience…"

"And daddy?"

"Right here."

"And right on time!" Arabella said pushing everyone out of the way, "We'll let daddy and little girl talk real quick. When Susan begins to walk, Bridget will come in and tell you two to come out."

Arabella, Bridget, Breeanna, Roselyn, Adora, and Susan left the Bride and Father-of-the-Bride alone.

"Ready?"

Ginny gave her father a nervous smile, "As ready as I'll ever be."

"I love you my Princess," he said kissing her forehead. "Now come on, you don't want to be late at your own wedding now do you?"

"No," she said shaking her head.

Music began and Arabella, Roselyn, and Breeanna began to go down the aisle. Bridget turned to her best friend, "Ready?"

"Of course," Ginny said smiling and Bridget could have sworn she saw tears forming in both Ginny and Arthur's eyes.

The door opened again and it was Susan's turn to go, "Four down and two to go." Adora said at her attempt to a joke and Ginny chuckled nervously.

Adora left and Bridget pulled her best friend in a bear-like hug, whispering in her ear. "I'm sorry I didn't help you out as much as I should have. I am your Maid-of-Honor and I wasn't the best Maid-of-Honor to you."

"Do you really think that Mum and Arabella would have let you help me completely out? I'm Mum's only daughter and Arabella has to wait until Roselyn gets married to plan another wedding."

Bridget chuckled, "Are you kidding? She'll help Adora and me."

"Sorry to break this up, but it's your turn Bridget." Arthur said smiling at his only daughter's best friend.

Bridget walked out and Ginny looked at her dad with full, bright eyes shinning at him, "I'm nervous daddy."

"Everything will be alright princess," Arthur said kissing Ginny on the top of her head again. "Harry will take good care of you."

"I know," Ginny said looking up at her dad and smiling. "I love Harry."

"And he loves you," the Wedding March began. "Ready?"

"Of course."

The doors opened up and Ginny stepped in to the ballroom of the Black Manor with her father, her right arm linked with his left. Ginny looked magnificent in her white off the shoulder gown and with the tight bodice that fell to her ankles.

As Arthur and Ginny passed everyone, they gasped and you hear phrases like, 'She's such a beautiful bride!' 'She looks like an angel,' 'What a beautiful bride.'

The funny thing was that even though Ginny heard it go in one ear and out the other, all of her attention was on her fiancée in front of her.

Harry looked so handsome and Ginny could feel small tears forming in her eyes. Harry was in a black tux with white tie and vest. Ron and Sirius matched Harry to a tee. Ginny would later on find out from Adora at the reception that almost all of her brothers were in tears.

Thoughts of Percy and Penelope's wedding streamed into Ginny's head and she realized how much she really missed them and that it had been a while since she'd thought about them. They could have had a baby by now. Both Bill and Charlie both had once child each at the time. Bill had a little boy named Bill Jr. or BJ for short. Charlie had a little girl named Abigail or Allie, she was the sweetest little thing Ginny had ever came across. BJ on the other hand was the evil little boy that drove poor Allie insane.

BJ was three and Allie was two, then there was of course Roselyn who was one, and Breeanna would be one years old in a month. It was amazing how Ginny's already huge family was expanding.

Arthur handed Ginny over to Harry and the ceremony went by so fast that it had become much of a blur.

"Virginia Noel Weasley, do you take Harry James Potter to be your lawfully wedded husband? To have and to hold, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, as long as you both shall live?"

Ginny nodded with tears streaming under her veil that was over her face still, "I do."

The preacher nodded, "And do you Harry James Potter take Virginia Noel Weasley to be your lawfully wedded wife? To have and to hold, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, as long as you both shall live?"

Ginny could see tears forming in Harry's eyes, "I do."

"The rings," Ginny handed her bouquet to Bridget as Bridget gave Ginny Harry's wedding band. Harry leaned over to Ron so he could get Ginny's wedding band.

"Virginia, while your slipping Harry's band on his hand I need you to repeat after me. With this ring I thee wed."

Ginny nodded and began slipping Harry's band on his left ring finger, "With this ring I thee wed."

"Harry, while your slipping Ginny's band on her hand I need you to repeat after me. With this ring I thee wed."

"With this ring I thee wed."

The minister got his wand and tapped Ginny's wedding band and then Harry's, a circle of golden light surrounded their hands and soon their entire bodies. There was then a burst of scarlet and gold sparks and the minister smiled.

"In the laws of the Wizarding World, I now pronounce you Husband and Wife. You may kiss your bride."

You didn't have to tell Harry and Ginny twice as they went straight in for their much awaited first kiss as husband and wife. Everyone cheered and the Potters walked down the aisle. Then it was Bridget and Ron, Adora and Sirius, Susan and Oliver, and last but not least, Arabella and Neville.

Bridget still hadn't told anyone about Neville rapping her and only Arabella, Ginny, Bridget, and Susan about herself and Oliver sleeping together on Halloween night.

Bridget felt like a Vodka tonic and a ecstasy pill, she didn't think she could spend the reception sober. Good thing her 'friend' had given her some more ecstasy and she'd con the bartender into making her a Vodka tonic.

"Bridget where are you going?" Bridget turned around to see Colin and Ginny frowning at their best friend.

"Reception."

"Pictures first," Colin said holding up his camera. Bridget couldn't help but laughing, of course Colin would be taking the Wedding photos.

So after a long thirty minutes the pictures were finally done and dinner was about to start.

Arthur stood up for his Father-of-the-Bride speech, "Can I have everyone's attention? Thank you. Today we are here to celebrate the joining of Harry and Ginny's future today. Ever since Harry came home during his and Ron's summer before their second year at Hogwarts, Harry has become like a son to Molly and I. We knew Lily and James very well, heck we knew all of their gang. Fabian and Gideon had been good friends with Lily, as how we knew Lily and James so well."

"Of course Molly and Lily were excited to be pregnant at the very same time and that they would have kids in the same grade. Lily came over all the time with baby Harry and baby Susan so that they could play with Ron. We found out that Molly was pregnant the day after Lily and James went into hiding. Later on of course Lily found out she was pregnant with Bridget."

"Who would have ever guessed that our Ginny married Harry, now that I think about it I see no better couple. To Mr. and Mrs. Harry James Potter!"

"Mr. and Mrs. Harry James Potter!" Everyone cheered and Bridget groaned as she really wanted a Vodka tonic.

"Like dad said," Ron said getting up and slapping his hand on the back of Harry's back. "Harry and I become best friends on our first train ride to Hogwarts, but now I see we were friends long before that. Harry, Susan, and me. I couldn't have picked out a better man for my sister, who'd have thought my best friend would marry my baby sister? Good luck Harry and Ginny!"

After dinner was over the band called Harry and Ginny over for their first dance as a couple, towards the end of the song everyone else joined the happy couple on the dance floor.

Bridget walked over to the bar, and there was the bartender from Cauldron. He looked at her funny, "What are you doing here?"

"Friend of the bride, now give me the usual."

"You sure that's wise for a wedding?"

"I don't care," Bridget growled at him. "Just give me my bloody drink!"

Bridget downed the drink in one gulp taking the little ecstasy pill.

"Bridget!" Harry said throwing his arm around his baby sister's shoulders, "Will you do me a favor?"

Bridget smiled at him, "Any day you marry my best friend and make her the happiest woman on Earth."

"Will you dance with Wood for me?"

Bridget's eyes about popped out of her head, "O…Oliver?"

"Yeah," he nodded. "Something wrong with that?"

"No," she lied.

"Good! Come on," Harry dragged Bridget over to Oliver and just her luck that the song just turned to slow.

After Harry walked off, Oliver began to speak. "You don't have to dance with me if you want to. I told Harry that you wouldn't want to."

Bridget narrowed her eyes at him, "And why wouldn't I want to dance with you?"

"Because I betrayed your trust by following you into Cauldron. But I was worried about you and I was just trying to look out for you."

Bridget sighed in defeat, sometimes he was just too sweet for her to go on hating him. "It's okay and thank you for thinking about me." She leaned into his embrace and Oliver cursed inside his head when he smelled Vodka on her. He could only guess Vodka tonic and an ecstasy pill.

Outside the Reception Hall

"You ready for the attack?" The first spy asked the second.

"Of course, the Potters deserve to pay. Their filthy halfbloods and the purebloods that stand beside them won't learn that they need to join the Dark Lords side."

"I should have known," Colin Creevey said as his eyes grew in horror as he looked at the two people who'd been talking amongst one another. "How…how could you!"

"Easy," they both shrugged and the first threw 'Crucio!' at him.

Colin shrieked as he'd never felt so much pain go throughout his entire body the second spy pulled Colin off the ground by the collar of his tux, "You had to be all meddlesome, didn't you?"

Colin narrowed his eyes at the two spies, "You know I had my suspicions, but I thought I was going insane!"

"Shut up!" The second spy yelled and then turned to the first one, "What do we do now?"

"Kill him," the first spy said shrugging.

"Avada Kedavra!" The second spy said effortlessly and both spies smiled as Colin Creevey's cold, dead body fell on the ground. Dead before it ever hit.

"We need to get out of here before anyone realizes we were gone," the first spy said looking around the second one nodded.

Oliver walked off to go to the restroom and Bridget was as high as a kite, but none of her family really didn't notice. They just thought she was having a good time as she was dancing around and around happily.

Neville sat at a table looking longingly at the woman he loved, but she had to be a slut and cheat on him. If she wouldn't have cheated on him, he would have never raped her.

"Will you quit looking at her like that?" Hannah Abbott said sitting down to her classmate from Hogwarts. "You look at her as if she's the goddess of the world!"

"She is to me."

"Then why did you guys break up?"

Neville's eyes flickered, "She cheated on me with Wood."

"I figured there was something going on between them."

"Not now," Neville said shrugging. "She doesn't go hardly around any one of the male gender now."

"Noticed that," she said nodding. "Go ask her to dance."

Neville laughed so hard at Hannah, "Are you kidding me? She'd spit in my face."

"Why would she do that? She looks like she's having a good time, hell she even let Wood dance with her earlier."

"She did!" Neville asked as he felt the blood start to raise inside of him.

"So?" Hannah asked looking at him oddly, "You guys aren't still together."

"True," Neville nodded. "I'm going to ask her to dance with me."

Neville walked off and approached Bridget and when she turned around her eyes got as wide as saucers. "Can I have this dance?"

"No," she hissed at him trying to walk off but he grasped her arm and she began to whimper. "Leave me alone."

"Just one dance."

"NO!" She screamed and everyone turned around wondering what in Merlin's name was going on.

Oliver had returned from the restroom and pushed Neville's hand away from her shoulder, "Don't you touch her, you scum."

Bridget realized she was surrounded by Oliver Wood and Neville Longbottom, "GO AWAY!"

Oliver backed away, but only so much because if Neville got any closer to her he'd kill him. Everyone's eyes were still on Bridget.

"Come on Bridget, let's dance." Neville said trying to get closer.

"NO!" Neville flung across the room and hit a wall, oh no. She'd just found out the other day she was showing signs of telekinetics. Now she'd thrown him against the wall because he came to close to her.

"Damn it Bridget!" He screamed at her and Harry and Sirius went livid as he cussed at her, "I just want one bloody dance."

"You can't have one," Oliver said standing in front of her.

"And why the hell not."

"BECAUSE!" Bridget screamed, "BECAUSE OLIVER WAS RIGHT! BECAUSE YOU…YOU…YOU RAPED ME!"

If they'd thought everyone had been quiet before, it defiantly got really quiet now.

"You what?" Harry growled leaving his wife's side and getting in Neville's face.

"Yes exactly what did you do to my niece?" Sirius said with flames flickering in his eyes. Sirius turned to look at the girls and was surprised to even see surprise on Adora's face.

"H…he r…raped me!" She sobbed and found strong arms to catch her, she looked up to see Oliver. She didn't object as she cried into his shoulder.

"I'm getting her out of here," he said picking her up and walking out of the ballroom and heading for her bedroom.

"Bella," Sirius yelled never taking his eyes off of Neville. "Go check on her, Susan contact the ministry." Sirius muttered a spell and ropes began to wrap themselves around Neville's wrist like Muggle handcuffs.

"You have no proof!" Neville said looking around trying to convince them that Bridget had just gone insane.

"Vertiserum," Adora said staring him down in the face. "But they really don't need Vertiserum, except for your court case to prove you guilty. Sirius, Harry, or Professor Dumbledore could ask me if you are indeed guilty. Now that Bridget has let that wall down and I know what's happened I'll be able to see it for myself. And when Oliver and I found her two months ago, she looked as if she'd been raped. Everyone knew how jealous you'd been because she had a close friendship with Oliver Wood."

"She was shagging him!"

"Silence!" Sirius said and was about to smack him in the head, but Professor Dumbledore caught Sirius's hand.

"No Sirius, let the law get him." Albus Dumbledore shook his head at the man in front of him, "Your parents would be so disappointed in you."
