Finally Potter

Chapter four

Ginny sat down at the kitchen table in her brother's house with a glass of wine in her hand. Hermione was at the cooker grilling salmon fillets for their meal, Penelope had already gone home, she said she had been too tired to stay out any later.

It was true that she was shattered they had called off their shopping trip after only looking at the dresses since she was too tired to carry on. She was extremely large though and Ginny couldn't help but hope the baby would be born soon otherwise Penelope might lose it.

Simultaneously there came two pops and a red head appeared in the doorway grinning at Ginny. He moved and grabbed Hermione in a tight hug that made her squeal before he gently kissed her on the cheek.

"How are my two favourite ladies?"

"Hungry Ron so sit down at the table with Ginny out of my way."

He pulled a face as he went to the fridge and pulled out two cans of lager, Ginny noticed that they were labelled 'Fosters' and it made her shake her head, she couldn't believe what an impact the muggle beer had made on her brother.

"So did you find a dress then sis?"

"Yep I found five."

"How many! You don't need to wear more than one dress Gin."

"I'm not I picked one out of the five."

"Did I hear right did you actually pick a dress."

Ginny grinned as her fiancé wondered into the room he always took her breath away and there was something about him that sent shivers up her spine. He stopped for a moment by Hermione and kissed her cheek in the same manner that Ron had.

"That smells delicious Hermione, want any help?"

"No thanks Harry, go sit down, it's nearly ready."

Ginny watched him walk towards her and take the can from Ron's outstretched hand. He took the chair next to hers and gently leaned in towards her. She felt a tingle on her cheek where his lips touched.

"So did you enjoy your shopping?"

"It was alright wasn't it Hermione, we didn't do much because Penelope got tired."

"So what did you get?"

Ginny took a sip of wine before answering.

"I got my dress."

"Can I see it?"

"No!"

She looked at Hermione who had turned around with her hands on her hips.

"Harry Potter I can't believe you asked that you know that you can't see the dress until the wedding day when Ginny is walking down the aisle so don't ask again."

He grinned as he took a gulp of his beer and Ginny stood up from her seat and went to the cupboard pulling out four plates and went to Hermione.

"Tomorrow can you come round mine, I'm having Penelope and Tonks round we're going to look into a place for the wedding."

"Is Harry helping?"

"Not tomorrow, we're going to pick the best three places and then next weekend I'll take Harry to see them and we'll pick a location."

Ginny took the potatoes off the stove and drained them before sharing them out as Hermione placed the fillets around. They carried the food to the table and sat down.

Ginny watched as both Ron and Harry jumped on the food and she shared a look with Hermione before they tried to start a conversation.

"So how was the game?"

"The cannons lost."

Harry shot a look at Ginny and she tried not to laugh as he took over the conversation that Ron had now abandoned.

"It was good Wood was fantastic he just saved most of the goals. Although Percy wasn't happy he missed Hill getting the snitch because Robin was complaining."

"Really glad she went with you then."

"Merlin I'm with you on that one Hermione, imagine her reaction to the French dress, she would have had something to say about my legs."

"Really Gin, I would have said the Elizabethan one you know where you were falling out on top."

"I hope you're not getting that dress."

"I hope she is."

Ginny hit Harry gently while answering Ron.

"No I couldn't get it after Pen said that even after it was fixed."

She took a mouthful of fillet as Hermione spoke to Harry.

"So you got any ideas where you want to get married?"

"Somewhere nice but secluded I want it to be private."

Ginny knew what Hermione was doing; she was getting information from Harry so that she could get a better idea of what location to pick when looking at them tomorrow.

"Ginny can I wear orange to your wedding?"

"NO!"

"Come on Sis."

"Ron my best man is not going to be in orange."

"What if I'm not your best man?"

"My matron of honour won't be in orange either."

"Why would I –"

"If you're not my best man Hermione will be and if Hermione is my best man it means that Ginny won't have a matron of honour so-"

"Fine I won't wear orange."

"Have you decided on anything yet?"

Harry shook his head as Ginny smiled.

"I've got my dress."

"That's all you've done?"

Ginny put her knife and fork down and looked over at Ron.

"Yes that's all I've done so far. I'm looking at places tomorrow, and then next week I'll take Harry to the best ones, then there's the flowers to organise, the bridesmaid dresses, the cake, the band, the vows, the rings and Merlin, Hermione you'll help me won't you?"

"Of course."

Then they finished their meals and headed into the living area. Ginny sat herself on the armchair as Hermione and Ron took the couch. Harry came in after he had finished the washing up and Ginny grinned when he looked around. It was only seconds later that she was draped across his lap on the chair.

She loved spending time here because she felt at ease and it was fun. She enjoyed the conversations and the time that she got to spend with her friends. Before she knew it Hermione and Ron had excused themselves and gone up to bed.

Harry gently wrapped his arms around her and turning she kissed him passionately but it wasn't long before he pulled back from her.

"I love you."

His voice was low and seductive and she just smiled at him.

"Are you happy Gin?"

"More than happy. Why aren't you?"

She shifted so that she could see him clearly and he grinned.

"I've never been as happy, are you alright though with organising the wedding I can help."

"Thanks, I know you want to help and you are."

He raised an eyebrow and she hugged him.

"I'm having Pen, Tonks and Hermione come over tomorrow and we're going to go through the massive list of wedding venues most are rubbish places anyway and once we find a secluded place that's lovely, I'll bring you in."

"Can I look into getting the rings then, and I can organise the reception, I can find caterers because we're not using the ones that Ron and Hermione used, they were terrible and then Neville's and Aprils well the food wasn't fantastic."

She kissed him gently.

"I'll tell you what I've got the twentieth off do you think you can get it off too?"

"Of June?"

"Yeah I know its close to the ceremony but we can go up to Cardiff and take a look at flowers, rings and even have a look for caterers."

He smiled as she again kissed him and they stayed like that long into the night.
