Finally Potter

Chapter thirty five

Ginny stood at the closed door. Her breathing was coming in sharp breaths and her stomach was jumping again. She'd already been to the toilet three times but had the sensation that she needed to go again. Chatter sounded loudly through the door and she knew that her friends and family were on the other side waiting.

The wedding march began to play and with a final look over her shoulders she saw Hermione, April and Robin smiling up at her. Nodding gently the door opened and holding tightly to Bill's right arm she stepped inside.

Everyone turned to look at her but she blocked them out looking straight to the front where Harry was stood next to Ron. Her eyes met his and she could see his eyes travelling up and down her body. A grin spread to her lips and his eyes locked with hers and she could see the sparkle in them.

All the worry that had built up over the last few weeks vanished as she saw him there in his black suit smiling happily at her. She didn't notice the people she was passing. The only one in the room was him and she knew that was what love was.

Within seconds she was standing besides him with Bill still holding her arm while Robin, Hermione and April had taken the seats in the front row. The vicar smiled down at them and it was taking all of Ginny's control not to reach out to Harry.

"We are gathered here today for the wedding of Harry James Potter and Ginevra Molly Weasley. Who gives this women to this man?"

"That would be me."

Ginny turned to Bill and he gently kissed her forehead and then she turned to look at Harry smiling gently. The service had begun and she stood there listening to the words that were being said. Before she knew it they had reached the vows.

Harry took Ginny's hand carefully and looked deeply into her eyes.

"Ginny I know our relationship hasn't been the easiest one and that there were many times when we should have been together and we weren't. I won't lie and say I always knew I'd marry you because I didn't but I'm glad that I am. My heart has belonged to you for a long time and you've helped me through so much. You truly are my better half and I love you for completing me."

He turned slightly and took her ring from Ron's outstretched hand.

"Ginny you make me happier than I thought possible. When I thought I had lost everything you showed me that there is still plenty to live for. I give you this ring as a symbol of my love, my love that has always been there for you and in many forms. My love for you as a friend and as a partner. Like this ring I will be with you forever."

He slipped the ring onto her finger and she smiled sniffing slightly. Then gently moving her hand so it was above his she looked once more into his eyes.

"Many people have loved you Harry because you are so kind. I know that I was drawn to you from the moment I met you. You are open and caring and will do anything for those around you. You've risked your life more times than most and never ask for anything in return except love. I give you my love now like I did so many years ago knowing that I would risk everything for you like you once did for me. You say that I'm your better half but that isn't true you're mine."

She moved slightly closer to Harry and took his ring from Ron's outstretched hand and looked back up to him smiling lightly.

"My love is for you and for nobody else. The love I give you is special and true. This ring is a symbol of that purest of love. Over the years my love has grown yet I still feel the same way for you as I always did. I'm glad that you're mine, you truly are divine, my hero who conquered the Dark Lord."

Laughter rang lightly through the hall as Harry rolled his eyes at her shaking his head slowly. Her grin widened as she slipped the ring onto his finger. Ginny bit her lip lightly all she wanted to do was kiss Harry, hold him in her arms. The vicar's voice rang through the room again.

"Does anyone here know of a reason why these two should not be wed speak now or forever hold your peace?"

Ginny smiled up at Harry as silence sat in the hall. Then the vicar spoke again.

"In that case you may kiss your bride."

Ginny smiled as Harry's lips gently brushed against hers and the room began to clap. Pulling apart Harry took her hand and following the vicar. They moved over to a small side room that held a register.

"Okay Harry if you sign here and Ginny you sign next to his."

The vicar stepped back a little and Harry and Ginny signed their names. Then Bill signed as the family member witness and Ron as best man and lastly Hermione as matron of honour. Then they headed back into the room and Ginny stood holding Harry's hand in front of everyone.

"Let me introduce to you for the first time Harry and Ginny Potter."

Ginny could see Harry smiling at her, and she too grinned as they left the room and headed down the stairs into the middle of the muggle ruins. It was a dry sunny day and Harry led Ginny round to the open field with the castle in the background.

Their photographer stood there and Ginny happily stood next to Harry for the photos. She kissed him happily in front of the flash and then they had Ron join them standing the other side of her. Next thing they had Hermione, April and Robin in the photo and had a few snaps before they took the family one.

Ginny held onto Harry's hand while Hermione and Ron stood the other side of Harry. Bill had a hand on her shoulder and an arm around their mother. Charlie stood the other side of her with Robin in front of him. Percy and Penelope stood next to Ron and Penelope held River up. After that was taken Harry called Remus and Tonks in as his family and with Remus holding Sirius another was taken.

Lastly they had everyone stand in and had another photo taken all of them smiling happily. As people began to leave Ginny saw the press coming towards them. They were pointing cameras at them and she knew they would want pictures for tomorrow's papers.

As their photographer was about to leave though she called out to him and he turned back.

"Can you take one more for us please?"

He nodded and she turned and called Ron, Hermione and Neville over. Everyone was watching as the three friends went over to them. Ginny stood next to Harry letting his hand go around her waist and smiled at him. Hermione was stood on the other side of him her arm around his waist with Ron holding her shoulder gently. Ginny let her other arm rest around Neville's shoulders and the photographer took the picture.

She knew people would question it, but this was their group and she wanted one more of them as they were because everything was once again changing. They were all married now and Hermione and Ron had a baby on the way.

The press though too were snapping pictures of the five before they moved so it was only Ginny and Harry. She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him while the press cameras went off and then turning and smiling they had more photos taken.

As the press thanked them and they looked around at where they were. They had been left alone and Harry spoke softly to her.

"So finally Mrs Potter then. How does it feel?"

Ginny grinned up at Harry taking his lips gently with hers.

"It's the best feeling in the world."
