Dumbledore spoke and pulled Harry from his memory, "Harry, are you okay? I know that is somewhat of a shock."
Harry looked imploringly at Dumbledore. "Was that really Meg? I don't understand."
"Yes, but I think Lori will be better able to explain." He looked at Harry with worry filling his usually twinkling blue eyes. "Do you want to stop now and go speak to her?"
"No, I want to continue," he said with determination. "I'll find her when we are done." Harry felt anger begin to well up inside of him. How could Lori and Meg have both kept something so important from him? What else had been kept from him?
"If you are sure," Dumbledore told him. He looked for another memory and found the one he wanted.
Once again they spent the day relieving memories. Other than the memory of seeing Lori and Meg, the memory that stood out the most to him was the memory of his and Ginny's wedding. Harry had watched his younger self and Ron as they waited for the ceremony to begin.
"She's not coming. I know she's not. I mean why would she? She's going to come to her senses and stand me up," the younger Harry paced the room and ran his fingers through his messy black hair as he talked to himself.
Ron laughed at him and pushed him down onto a chair. "Harry, calm down, of course she is coming. She loves you okay? She would never have agreed to marry you if she didn't."
Harry looked up at Ron with a slightly calmer look in his eyes, "You think so? Of course you're right. I'm just so nervous and I love her so much. I don't know what I would do without her, you know."
Bill poked his head into the room, "Harry? It's time, mate."
At this statement, Harry looked at Ron with renewed panic. Ron rolled his eyes.
"Harry, it's okay. Now comb your hair so we can go. You don't want to be late for your own wedding. If nothing else, Ginny and my mum would kill you. No, they would probably find a way to make it my fault and kill me. So please hurry up."
"Right," Harry answered as he went to the mirror and smoothed his hair down. He turned to Ron, "I'm ready. Let's go."
The two men exited the room and made their way to the courtyard. They stepped out into the bright sunlight. Quickly they took their places under the arbor decorated with flowers. Joining them was Professor Dumbledore, who was to perform the ceremony, and the rest of Ginny's brothers.
Harry looked out at the crowd gathered and smiled to see so many of his friends. Mrs. Weasley was already crying and Professor McGonagall was patting her on the arm. Next to them was Bill's wife, Fleur, she was holding their small daughter, Zoe. He was a little worried because she looked like she was going to have their next child at any minute. He just hoped she waited until the ceremony was over.
A loud sniffle came from the back of the crowd. Hagrid was sitting in the back row due to the fact that no one could see over him. Today's occasion had been cause for him to bring out his awful hair suit.
As Harry was taking note of the other guests, music started to play. Several females were making their way down the aisle towards the men. There were two of Ginny's dormmates from school. Following them was, Luna Lovegood with her blond hair shimmering in the sun. Next was Tonks whose hair matched her rose colored dress. Harry's smiled at the next woman and Hermione smiled softly at him. It had only been a few months ago when they had all gathered for Ron and Hermione's wedding.
When Hermione took her place, the music changed and everyone stood as the bride made her way down the aisle with her father escorting her. Harry gasped when he saw her, he had never seen a more beautiful sight. The sunlight caused her red hair to shine like firelight and her eyes sparkled as they locked with Harry's. As the pair reached the end of the aisle, Harry stepped forward to shake Mr. Weasely's hand. He then took Ginny's hand and whispered, "I love you. You look so beautiful."
The ceremony was romantic and emotional. When the time came to exchange vows, Harry's stomach became full of butterflies. Ginny went first and as expected had written eloquent vows that professed her love to Harry.
When it was Harry's turn, he was so nervous he was afraid he might get physically sick. This wasn't exactly Harry's area of expertise. He looked deep into Ginny's warm brown eyes and began, "You are my everything. You are my dreams and my reality. You are my yesterday and my tomorrow." His voice cracked with emotion before he continued, "You are my light and without you my world is dark and cold. You are my friend and my first and only love. You, Ginny, are my world. I love you."
There was not a dry eye in the crowd when he finished. Harry wiped his own tears and then wiped Ginny's tears away with his thumb.
Dumbledore gently pulled Harry from his memory. He suggested that they continue tomorrow. Harry was grateful because he did not know if he could handle much more today.
Harry was exhausted as he prepared to leave Dumbledore's office. He wanted nothing more than to lay down somewhere and sleep but he still needed to find Lori and ask her about Meg. But first he wanted to find Ginny; he needed to tell her how much he loved her.
The thought of Ginny perked him up. Dumbledore once again created a portkey for Harry to return home. He was much more subdued when he arrived home today than he had been the previous day. However, Ginny entered the room and he felt his heart swell with love for her.
He got up and pulled her into his arms. She smiled at him and greeted him, "Hi, how did it go today?"
"Interesting, I found out a lot. And I remembered just how much I love you," he bent down to kiss her. When their lips were a breath apart, a door slamming shut was heard.
"Dad! Ginny! Are you guys in here?", Jason hollered.
"Mum! Where are you," Jamie yelled.
Harry groaned and pulled back from Ginny. "We're in here, guys."
"Hi, grandma wanted us to invite you to dinner. Everyone is going to come." Jamie told them as she and Jason entered the room. She looked questioningly at her mum and Harry standing with their arms around each other. "Um, she said it'll be a welcome home dinner for you. So I guess you have to go," she informed Harry.
Harry looked a bit apprehensive. He was not sure if he was ready to face the entire Weasley family all at once. But he remembered enough to know that if Molly Weasley was determined to have a family dinner to welcome him home, there was no way he was getting out of it.
Ginny glanced at Harry. When he nodded his head to show it was okay with him, she said she would owl her mum to tell her they would be there.
"I guess I'll go get ready then," Jamie said. Both kids were slightly dirty, Jason much more so than Jamie. It appeared that they had been outdoors most of the day.
"Okay, Jason, you need to go change into clean clothes as well," Harry instructed his son.
"But dad I'll just get dirty again. So wouldn't it make more sense for me to keep the dirty ones on?"
"No, Jason, it wouldn't, now go get cleaned up."
Jason mumbled as he headed off to do what his father told him. Harry laughed silently at him and shook his head. He reminded himself that he would have to talk to Jason about everything that had happened in the past two days. Harry knew that he would like to remain here but he felt he should at least talk to Jason about it. But Jason's excitement since they had been here led Harry to believe that his son would like nothing more than to stay here.
Ginny came back into the room. "I already heard back from mum, she said everyone will be there around seven for dinner. If you want we can get there a little early so you can have time to prepare yourself before the invasion," she laughed.
He looked up at he clock and saw it was already after six. They would have to leave soon if they wanted to get there before everyone else. Suddenly he remembered he needed to talk to Lori.
"Ginny, do you know how I can get in touch with Lori, I need to discuss some things with her. I know she said she was staying at Hogwarts but I did not see her there."
"Oh, actually she will be at dinner. Apparently she ran into Fred while she was shopping in Diagon Alley and he invited her."
Jamie and Jason returned. Harry smiled at their bickering. They had only known each other for two days and they were already fighting like brothers and sisters do. He thought to himself that tomorrow he would ask Professor Dumbledore to let him have some memories of Jamie when she was a baby.
Much to Harry's dismay, he saw Ginny get down the container of Floo Powder. That meant they were going to travel by his least favorite mode of transportation. He noticed that Jamie looked like she felt the same way. It made him happy to see that they had something in common other than their green eyes.
This time, Ginny reached the container out to Jamie. She took a pinch of powder and when the green flames danced in the grate, she yelled, "The Burrow!"
Jason quickly jumped to go next. "The Burrow!" he screamed a bit louder than necessary.
Ginny turned to hold the container out to Harry. He started to take a pinch but stopped before he did. Instead he took the container from her hand and sat it on the mantle. He smiled mischievously at her and pulled her to him for the kiss that had been interrupted earlier.
