Chapter 21

The Two Mrs. Weasley's

"Harry would you mind making sure everything looks alright still, Fleur's having a fit thinking that someone is going to ruin the set she designed" said Hermione, Harry nodded.

He walked downstairs and into the garden, but was met with a ivory archway intertwined with ivy and floating candles with a small table off to the side. On top of which sat a good sized picture of Bill and Fleur. Both of whom were smiling and waving cheerfully, three candles were actually sitting on the table next to a book that read 'Guest' and the whole set up was placed upon a burgundy velvet cloth.

Walking under the archway Harry's breath caught in his throat the place was nothing short of amazing, perfect.

' Thought you would like that ' Ginny said

The entire garden held a frosted look, like winter in early September. Each flower as far as Harry could tell looked as if it had been frozen separately to look a certain way. White chairs had been placed in straight rows of about eight, containing eight chairs each row, all held a large silk emerald green bow on it's backing and down the middle splitting the chairs into two sections was a burgundy velvet cloth. It's color bold against the frosted look. Candles lined the aisle floating above and out of the way, giving it a soft frosted glare that was indeed perfect.

In the very front a ivory silk tent had been erected and two burgundy chairs were placed side by side and a podium of either glass or ice was strategically placed, and held what looked like a piece of parchment, floating candles had been placed around. Ivory and burgundy colored flowers had been put in place also around and inside the tent, though not frosted, enchanted. Every other one or so would bloom, close up then bloom a perfect blossom again, very slowly.

Fairy light's had been placed strategically around the garden to give it the final illuminated glow, that was not bright, but making the overall effect breathtaking.

Harry let out his breath he had been holding. He suddenly wished Ginny was here with him. The garden was created for nothing but romance and he direly wanted to share it with her. He wanted this to be there wedding, something as perfect as this, everything Ginny wanted and more. He heard Ginny give a silent sob of joy at his thought's and he smiled.

"Beautiful isn't?" Harry turned and saw Charlie looking at him with an expression he could quite place.

"It's breath taking" said Harry admitting his first reaction.

"Kind of make's you think doesn't? I mean the whole settling down thing?" Harry sent him a furtive look

"I plan on settling down, with Ginny. When we've reached the right age" Harry said

"Yeah, I figured as much. You two got it too!" said Charlie

"What? What have we got?" asked Harry as Charlie leaned against the ivy clad archway.

"Love, you can tell, you know" said Charlie and Harry couldn't help but grin, he did love Ginny no denying that. "It makes us real single men think"

"Oh you want to settle down, now that you've seen it's effect's" said Harry cottoning on

"Yeah, it's not that I would mind, but girls don't want guy's like me." said Charlie with a sigh of sadness that suddenly filled Harry's stomach

"What do you mean?"

"I work with dragon's Harry, dangerous, probably the most dangerous creature to walk the face of the earth, I've got red hair, ton's of freckles, and even though I got pretty good grades at Hogwarts and became this dragon trainer and make a decent living, it's like I can't find the girl of my dream's" said Charlie throwing up his hands and landing them with a thump at his sides.

"First of all, I happen to think that red hair and freckles are part of a reason that the dragons respect you, Charlie" began Harry as Charlie allowed a small smile, but Harry continued "secondly, grades have nothing to do with love and neither does money, do you think that my money makes a damn bit of difference to you're sister, nope, not one bit" Charlie was smiling now, but still Harry continued "and third, you're perfect girl might be right in front of your nose and you don't even see her until suddenly you wake up and see her in a totally different light"

"Is that how it happened with you and Ginny?" asked Charlie, not stopping the grin that played his lip's at the younger man's memory and Harry was sure he was giving the goofy grin that played his own face every time he remembered how he come to 'wake up' and really see Ginny.

"Kind of" said Harry as he to leaned against the archway. "I saw her hook up with Dean, one of the guy's Ron and I share the dorm with, and I saw her kissing him, and I wanted to curse him, with every hex I knew. I was so jealous that I couldn't even sleep that night. Ginny I don't think knew it, but...It was the day that changed my life. I suddenly started to realize that Ginny never cared about The-boy-who-lived stuff, the money, fame, and the attention. She's a very strong women and I get my strength from her, she's my comfort, my serenity" said Harry casting the wedding scene another glance.

"See, that's romance for you, sneaks up and bites you in the arse, you know? Right when you're not expecting it, boom it hit's you" said Charlie slapping his hands together for effect "I want that, it would be a nice thing to have around I think"

"It is" said Harry looking at the older man now looking at the scene before them "It's the best thing in my life, the one thing, I'll never let go of, again"

"I hope not Harry, cause you may not find it ever again" said Charlie meeting Harry's eye's

"Were you in love once?" asked Harry

"No, but I wish I had been, I'd know were to start looking then" said Charlie with a small laugh "No, there were women of course, but nothing I wanted to take this far" he stretched his arm out as if showing Harry the garden for the first time.

"I know I want to take it this far, and beyond" said Harry glancing at the tent again. "It would be the beginning of a whole new life for Ginny and I. A whole new life with old friends and older family" teased Harry

"Hey, I'm not to much older than you!" said Charlie looking hurt, Harry laughed to show his teasing and the slightly older man laughed with him. Harry sobered up first and looked at Charlie seriously as he wiped his eye's trying quickly to hide his tears. Harry wasn't sure if they were joyful, or sad tears.

"Look up mate, one day you'll find the right one, and you'll not let her go. Just don't be a git like I once was and try breaking up with her." said Harry

"I know, thanks Harry" said Charlie. Harry grinned and nodded his head gave the scene one more glance.

"Come on we've got a wedding to attend. One women waiting to hear that the place still indeed looks brilliant, another waiting to be married, and another wanting me to marry her now, and another going ballistic over the one getting married tonight" said Harry laughing counting off the girls on his finger's

"Yeah and a groom that's either to drunk to stand, or passed out from nerves." said Charlie laughing too.

"You get the calming potion, I'll go meet Hermione and give her the okay" said Harry as the two men separated one making his way to find a spare house elf, the other up the stairs to give Hermione the 'everything is great, don't worry' speech.

Harry sat with Mr. Weasley, Ron, Hermione, Fred and George, all waiting patiently for the wedding to officially start. The crowed was oddly silent around them. Hermione fingered the burgundy colored parchment with it's gold lettering's.

"There's going to be a French minister too!" she cried happily

"How are we going to know what he's saying?" asked Ron

"More to the point how's Bill going to know when to say I do" said Fred

"Fair point oh brother of mine" said George.

"Hush you lot there starting" said Mr. Weasley

"How do you kn-" but Harry was cut off as music started flowing through the garden and hitting there ear's softly. Harry suddenly was smiling as he watched Bill escort Mrs. Weasley down the aisle slowly. Mrs. Weasley was wearing a soft pale yellow and was grinning broadly at her son, patting his hand all the way to her chair. Were Mr. Weasley stood to receive her hand from Bill. Mr. Weasley gave Bill a manly hug before both Mr. and Mrs. Weasley sat down still holding hands, and Bill took his place up front.

Charlie came next with Mrs. Delacour also in pale yellow. She was smiling though not at Charlie and seemed to be walking fairly faster than Mrs. Weasley. Charlie placed her in her seat as Mr. Delacour was still in the back with Fleur. Then took his place next to Bill with a pat on his shoulder, and a grin on both of their faces.

The song finished and another soft sound croon around them. Enticing them, alluring them into whatever known existence. The music was sweet, and Harry watched as Gabriella came down the aisle, but his eyes left hers when Ginny appeared at the back. She looked amazing! Her hair was up on her head, though there was still tendrils of curls that framed her face and Harry could see that she looked very beautiful. Ginny slowly started walking down and Harry's eye's loomed over her body. The tight dress she wore hugged her curves, Harry's breath caught in his throat. Her dress trailed the floor at her feet and peaking out when she took a step Harry could see burgundy shoes, Her face glowed with pride as she noticed Harry's drooling and absentmindedly he wiped his chine, and continued to star at the beauty almost so close to him, he could almost touch. Her makeup had been done and her lip's had been painted with a soft hue of a deep red, her hair looked on fire, and Harry could make out from the back as she passed him, that it was up in some kind of twist. She turned as she found her spot and smiled at him, Harry gave her a grin back. He could have sworn she giggled, but another song had started to play and Mrs. Weasley was the first to rise out of her chair to greet the bride now standing at the back of the aisle, under the archway.

Harry stood too, and turned he saw that Fleur looked pretty good, too. Though nothing to the gorgeous women standing behind him. He flashed another smile at Ginny who winked back at him, making him slightly dizzy. He was still grinning when he turned back to Fleur and Mr. Delacour.

Fleur had chosen a strapless gown so her shoulder's were bare, and the bodice hugged her torso, and flared out at her hips. Harry also noticed she wore burgundy shoes, and her hair was down flowing in the non-existent breeze of wind. Making her hair look alive and as if it were it's own free will. A burgundy flower placed and bound behind her ear. Her makeup was barley there, her lip's were red to though not as deep shade as Ginny's prefect lip's. Her cheek's were rosy and her eye's were lined. Harry thought she made a prefect bride for Bill who Harry suddenly noticed was starring at her, his mouth open and his eyes wide as his eye's followed her to were he stood waiting.

"Who givith this bride this evening?" a strict looking wizard in pale yellow robes with a matching emerald green sash appeared in front of were Bill, Fleur and Mr. Delacour stood.

"I am pleased to announce that I do" said Mr. Delacour his voice boomed over the garden as he kissed Fleur's hand and placed it lovingly in Bill's who took it and brought Fleur closer to him. Harry could tell he whispered something to her, but couldn't hear as the Minister who was now joined by another clad in the same dress robes though with a Burgundy sash, started speaking again.

"We who gather here thank you for allowing us to share in your joy on this occasion. Our hope for you is that the love adventure you have begun will be nourished. Our pledge to you as friends is to help you, to the best of our abilities, in its nourishment. Love is not some accident we fall into. Falling in love should be suspect. But if we grow in love, then there is the possibility that our tomorrows will be even more joyous, more tender and caressing, more devoted to life flowing through us; tomorrows more full of the thrill of life even as each today is better than yesterday. Love has the capacity for that magic. Perhaps only love has such capacity"

"It grows through the joy of life fully shared and grows again through pains given and returned and forgiven. While it can be the fount of greatest happiness, it is not meant for happiness alone, but also for the growth of new qualities of life - two separated and partial beings become one, and each to his or her separate ways, becoming more complete because of the other. To this end, there must be a consecration of each to the other, and of both to the noblest purposes of life."

"Love can be one of the most meaningful experiences that comes to any human being. At its best it reduces our selfishness, deepens our understandings, and gives value to life, far beyond what words can describe."
"The institution of marriage is a public recognition of the private experience of love and a dedication of man and woman to love's greatest purposes in life. Two people in love live within the embrace of all humanity. The greatest intimacy between a man and a woman, love, need not diminish, but can strengthen the individuality of each partner."

"Fleur do you take William to be your husband, to love him and to cherish him, to help him and to honor him, and to give him understanding and comfort in whatever the future may bring, in confidence that together you are responsible for your destiny? Do you believe that your love is deep, rich and lasting enough to enable you to build a worthy home together? Will you forsake all others and remain loyal toward him as long as you both shall live?"

"I do" said Fleur

"Bill do you take Fleur to be your wife, to love her and to cherish her, to help her and to honor her, and to give her understanding and comfort in whatever the future may bring, in confidence that together you are responsible for your destiny? Do you believe that your love for is deep, rich and lasting enough to enable you to build a worthy home together? Will you forsake all others and remain loyal toward her as long as you both shall live?"

"I do" said Bill

"The vows you make are a statement of intent and commitment. They cannot endure unless you make them endure. The spoken word holds no hidden power within itself, for human ingenuity has never yet devised a vow which cannot be broken. We have developed law and conscience, even pride, as keepers of our sacred pledges, but we have also found ways to mitigate each one. So it is not simply to words or to institutions that we appeal at this moment of commitment, but to the resources upon which you can draw from within yourselves. Please state the vow's you have each written for the other"

"I, Fleur , take you, Bill , to be no other than yourself. Loving what I know of you, trusting what I do not yet know, with respect for your integrity and faith in your abiding love for me, through all our years, and in all that life may bring us."

"I, Bill , take you, Fleur , to be the wife of my days, to be the mother of my children, to be the companion of my house; we shall keep together what share of trouble and sorrow our lives may lay upon us, and we shall share together our store of goodness and plenty and love."

Mrs. Weasley was crying and Harry saw that Ginny was too! She met his eyes and he winked at her as she smiled through her tear's.

' I love you Gin '

' I Love you Harry ' Ginny smiled again as she turned back to the minister and Harry refocused his own attention.

"A blessing over the ring's, in French in honor of the Bride's heritage" the English minister was saying, as the French held out both hand's for the ring's from Gabriella and Charlie.

"Ces alliances sont des cercles continus, comme votre amour l'un pour l'autre est continu et total. Que votre amour devienne plus grand et plus fort à travers les années"

"Thank you, The rings are simple symbols of our longings and of the consecration of our marriage through the giving and receiving of vows. They are circles, unbroken, and therefore more perfect than human vows or longings - and that is a good reminder for us - a reminder that marriage will be work as well as joy and happiness. The work is to make it better, to grow together and separately over a lifetime" He held out the ring to Bill first, who took it with out looking, not wanting to take his eye's off Fleur.

"With this ring I wed you and pledge my faithful love." The minister gave a smile before handing Fleur the remaining ring

"This ring is a circle, unbroken, just as my love is unbroken and complete for you."

"In giving and receiving rings, and have taken unto themselves symbols of all that this marriage means to them and in wearing these rings they are joining those meanings with a public statement that they are married. Each of us knows the values of love and devotion, companionship and trust, honor and caring which comes in any intimate relationship. Let us take this time to think on these things and share our hopes for their future"

"Out of this tangled world these two souls have drawn together. They are bound with the swift sure bonds of love. Their destinies shall now be woven of one design, and their perils and their joys shall not be known apart. As they increase in mutual understanding, may their joy stand victoriously against the storm of circumstances which beats impartially at all our doors. From the rich encouragement of their affection may they complete the unfinished pattern of their true selves. Even as they have chosen each other from the world's multitudes, so let the days and years, now veiled by time, deepen the joy of that choice and make it abidingly true."

"May these two hearts be united one to the other like the flower and its perfume, like the flute and its melody; may they have many summers of sweet love and happiness; may they in the autumn of life ripen through service into the serenity of Spirit; and may they at the end of their days break all mortal bonds and encounter the great unknown with fearless heart"

"Now you will feel no rain, for each of you will be shelter for the other. Now you will feel no cold for each of you will be warmth to the other, Now there is no more loneliness for you. Now you are two bodies, but there is only one life before you. Go now to your dwelling place, to enter into the days of your togetherness. And may your days be good, and long upon the earth." The English minister stepped back as the French minister started speaking again.

"Que la bénédiction qui touche ceux qui aiment, vous touche aussi et qu'elle vous remplisse d'une grâce spirituelle totale. Que le lien qui vous unit grandisse toujours. Que vous puissez vous aimer et travailler ensemble aujourd'hui, demain, et tous les jours de votre vie de telle façon que vos vies soient enrichies et anoblies par une camaraderie vraie et profonde de l'esprit et du coeur"

"In a great sense the two of you were married long before you came here today. Today is merely the sharing of your wishes and hopes with these close friends and relatives who have gathered here this evening. We all want you to know that our best wishes are with you at this time. We thank you for sharing this very personal moment with us. We now see you as husband and wife."

"You may now kiss you bride"

Bill didn't hesitate, he took her waist and brought her close before dipping her slightly and Harry saw a wink before he watched their lip's meet. Harry heard Fred and George and a few other's wolf whistle, but his eyes were on Ginny again, as hers was set on his. Both speaking promises they both hoped would one day be put into word's at there own wedding.

"Friends, and family it is my joy to present for the first time Mr. and Mrs. William and Fleur Weasley." Several people were still whistling as the couple who had just stopped kissing, and turned red faced to their audience, Harry was on his feet with the Weasley's and Hermione clapping until his finger's felt numb. Harry kept smiling at Ginny who was smiling unable to clap, cause her bouquet. Harry received her smile again and winked back, grinning.

' One day wildfire that will be us, if you want it to be? ' Harry thought

' Yes, I want this and a little more and a little less ' She said

' Less?'

' Yeah, without the French tradition's, putting Fleur in a bath was disgusting! Ew!'

Harry laughed, but quickly turned it into a cough as Ron and Hermione gave him another weird look. He could tell Hermione's mind was working furiously, as both she and Ron were suspicious of why Harry was acting strange. Harry watched Bill escort his new wife down the aisle, and Ginny, Gabriella and Charlie soon followed.

"The family's of the bride and groom wish for you to stay and celebrate in reception, please make your way through the entrance to your left, and thank you for joining in this wonderful occasion" said the minister.

Harry looked and saw that indeed to his left a archway had opened up. He turned to find Ginny, who was being held by the photographer.

' Go ahead Harry, I'll be in soon ' said Ginny

' Okay, I'll keep looking for you ' Harry sent back. He flashed her another smile from across the garden and followed the mass of people through into the other tent that had been placed for the reception, just beyond the newly shown archway.

Flower's, floating candles, and ice sculpture's were placed strategically around the tent, and on top the circular table's that surrounded a square dance floor, that made Harry inwardly flinch.

' Yes Mr. Potter, I plan on dancing with you tonight ' Ginny said in his mind. Harry smiled, but felt dread enter his stomach. ' Don't worry, you'll be fine '

Harry smiled and made his way, slowly over through the crowd. He saw Hagrid and Madam Maxim huddled in a corner table looking pretty cozy. Harry stirred away from them, and found Moony and Tonks nearby.

"Harry" said Moony holding out his hand. Harry shook it.

"Whotcher Harry" said Tonks. Harry kissed her cheek.

"Where's Ginny, or have you lost her already?" Moony teased.

"No" said Harry giving an appreciative laugh "No she's being held up by the photographer, but she'll be along soon"

"Oh really" said Moony raising an eyebrow. Tonks left to go find Mrs. Weasley. "So Harry when is it going to be your turn?"

"What? Oh not for a while. I just turned seventeen and Ginny's only sixteen, so we'll wait for a time, I guess, but what about you Uncle Remus?" Harry teased. Making sure not to use Moony, and made up another nickname on the spot. Moony smiled at him. They were now almost the same height and matched each other's eye level. "When do you plan to ask Tonks?" Moony choked on his glass of elder wine he was drinking, Harry patted his patted his back and gave an evil laugh. Unfortunately Moony was saved from answering this question as Harry's eye caught site of a red-haired girl just now entering the tent. Looking amazingly breath-taking.

' Harry? Wherever you are? Meet me half way? ' came Ginny's voice

' I'm on my way Miss Weasley.' said Harry, then turning back to Moony " Look's like your saved from answering that one, for now Uncle Remus"

"Oh and why's that, not that I'm complaining or anything" said Moony looking obviously relived, though his eyebrow's were once again risen in curiosity

"My world just walked in, dragging my heart behind her" said Harry not caring if he sounded stupid. As his eye's followed Ginny's form across the tent.

"You've got it bad, you know that Harry?" teased Tonks coming back up to stand next to Moony and taking his arm.

"So I've been told, see you two" Harry bid them goodbye, both held annoyingly knowing smiles, but Harry ignored them as he made his way to Ginny, who had conveniently stopped at exactly half way. Harry smiled, as she saw him approach and returned it. Harry was sure there wasn't any breath left in his body. He kissed her check and took her hand, leading her to a table nearby. Where Ron and Hermione was already sitting. Moony and Tonks joined them when everyone was settling in. Harry though, barley spared the two couples a glance as his eyes and thought's were currently filled with Ginny. She looked so beautiful, and Harry couldn't believe his luck. What had he done to deserve her love?

' Just by being you and not believing in that bloody boy-who-lived rubbish, just by being you...just Harry! ' replied Ginny simply, and Harry smiled. Their eye's met, brown to green, and emerald to chocolate.

' I love you Ginevra Molly Weasley ' Harry thought

' And I love you, Harry James Potter ' said Ginny still smiling at him with a mental sigh.

' What? ' asked Harry slightly confused

' I just...I don't know...wish that somehow it was. .that this was..-'

' I know me too! ' said Harry mentally, taking her hand under the table and squeezing it gently. His other hand he brought to her face and under her chin to bring her lip's to his. Although Harry kept the kiss relatively short, it was still sweet and full of meaning. A clinging of glass brought them out of their kiss and Harry turned to Charlie who was now standing, and ignored the knowing smile that he was receiving from his Father's friend again.

"As I am lead to believe that a best man speech is to be made, so let me first say that I find it hard to stand up here and make a fool out of my brother on his wedding day despite everything he's done to me in the past. Someone asked me a few weeks ago if I looked up to my brother when I was younger. I thought about this – for about 2 seconds – before stating that I thought Bill had been more a source of perspiration than inspiration. But I'd hate for you all to think he didn't make an impression upon me. Those at the front should just about be able to make out the two inch scar on my head caused by Bill practicing his swish and flick technique against his younger brother, me."

The tent came to life with laughter, and Bill threw a 'I can't believe your still on about that' look at Charlie, who ignored it and went on "It hasn't always been easy growing up in the footsteps of an older, competitive and successful brother – the one who was stronger, could run faster, – all that sort of thing. But I was better at Quidditch, couldn't beat me there could ya, no matter how hard you tried, Ha, Ha, but I have learnt a great deal from it, and not just from observing Bill's successes. And a key advantage of this, in our teenage years, was that by observing Bill I was able to avoid some truly terrible haircuts, or hair growth's, I should say"

"Hey" said Bill making the whole tent laugh again, as he flicked his ponytail over his shoulder.

"Seriously though, there are not many best men who can describe the groom, their brother as true friend, but in that I'm lucky. It is an honor, albeit a most terrifying one, to have been asked to be the best man here today. But I do feel a certain relief to see the end of my duties in sight, as I'm totally certain that Bill will never have any need to ask me to be his best man again. I'd like you all to join me in wishing Bill and Fleur the very best for their future journey together. And I hope, when they look back years from now on this, their wedding day, they realize it was the day that they loved each other the least. Congratulations mate, Fleur!"

Charlie lifted his glass at the couple and everyone, Harry included followed suite. He drank a sip of the elder wine that had appeared there, and Harry liked it immensely, but replaced it on the table and was surprised to see Ginny standing, waiting patiently for the applause from Charlie's speech to die out. She cleared her throat.

' Err. .Gin, are you suppose to be doing this? ' asked Harry nervously

' Of course silly ' said Ginny snapping playfully. She sent him a smile before turning her attention on the crowd now looking at there table. "I am delighted that Bill and Fleur haven't wasted any time. Bill is a man who knows where he is going in life and I am now confident that Fleur is the right women for Bill. What an exciting thought to know, you two will have each other to share the happy times that are waiting for you and to gain strength from one another during these rough times. Today is the beginning of a lifetime of happy memories and I know that your future holds many more waiting to be made. May you learn to appreciate your differences and never take each other for granted and may love always surround you and wrap you in each other's arms forever."

The crowd awed and Harry smiled. He could still remember last year, when Ginny hated Fleur, he hadn't heard her call her Phlegm all summer, so far. Ginny cleared her throat to say that she wasn't finished yet, and again the crowd turned to their table.

"If it was one lesson I learned from my parents, it was that success in marriage is more than finding the right person" Ginny smiled at him, and Harry grinned back. "It is being the right person too, and I am proud to be here celebrating the marriage of these two people, who are not only amazing in their own right, but are also the right people for each other. May you be blessed with happiness that grows…with love that deepens…. and with peace that endures. I truly wish you fun and excitement for today….hopes and dreams for tomorrow….and love and happiness forever. Best Wishes to you both!" Ginny sat down. The applause mixed with tears from the crowd around them. Mrs. Weasley wiped her eye's, and Hermione gave a wet sob. Harry kissed Ginny's cheek. Gabriella stood from the table Charlie was sitting at and smiled.

"Thank you, thank you, yes, Bill and Fleur complement each other very well don't you think? Fleur is ambitious, industrious, highly-motivated and loves a great challenge. And I think Bill is that challenge." The crowd laughed knowing the truth behind those word's, but Gabriella continued on, looking like she wanted to get it over with as soon as she could manage it. "And so without further hesitation, all that's left to do is offer a toast. Bill and Fleur, you're among friends and family who want the very best for both of you and we wish you all the happiness in the world. So here's to you, here's to your future, and here's to the best thing you ever did! Congratulations, may you know nothing but happiness from this day forward"

"Well, that was short" said Ron clapping with the rest of the tent.

"Not to conversational, is she?" whispered Tonks

"She barley got through it as it was, thanks to Hermione" whispered Ginny

"What did you do?" asked Harry suspiciously

"All I said was that she was expected to give a toast and wondered if she needed help with it. Honestly she barley has a line offering congratulation's before I got to it. Your lucky she got that much" said Hermione defensively

"Lucky, now are we?" said Ron. Hermione shot him a glare as Mr. Delacour got to his feet.

"My turn now, My wife and I along with Arthur and Molly Weasley want to thank everyone for coming to join us today. It is a special day no? Not only for our children, Bill and Fleur, but for us all as well. As our family's become united from this wedding. It gives me great honor to welcome Bill Weasley into the Delacour family and gives me great pleasure to give a piece of my own daughter to the Weasley family. I look forward to many years of seeing our children grow with each other, and maybe a grandchild or two? Huh Fleur huh?" Mr. Delacour laughed as Fleur blushed appropriately. Fred and George gave a wolf whistle, but quieted down as Mrs. Weasley shot them a glare. Everyone, including Harry was either blushing or holding in there snicker's.

"Papa!" said Fleur reproachfully, sending her own glare at her father, who shrugged his shoulder's and gave her a wink. Harry shared an amused look with Ron.

"Yes well, one can hope huh? So guest of all, please raise your glasses to the new Mr. and Mrs. Weasley" Harry took his glass in hand and mimicked Mr. Delacour in the final toast as all in the tent raised their glasses and sent cheers to Fleur and Bill. Harry took another sip of the elder wine, and found it again much to his liking. It was sweet like honey poured raw through the softest, sweetest flower. He liked it. Glancing at Ron who was smacking his lip's at having downed his whole glass. Harry laughed as the rest of the table saw Ron and laughed with him.

"What?" asked Ron setting his glass back down which automatically refilled itself. Harry shook his head.

Small menus appeared on the gold charger plates and Harry picked his up. One side was completely written in French while the other English and Harry ordered his favorite of steak and kidney pie. Ron ordered the same Ginny had ordered pork chops, Hermione and Moony ordered steaks, though Moony's was quite rare. Tonks ordered from the French side, heaving a guess and a plate appeared to be seemingly filled with what Harry thought looked remotely like the giant squids tentacles in the lake at Hogwarts. Though he wasn't certain what it was, only that it made his stomach queasy. Tonks took a bite and gagged. Harry laughed as Tonks took out her wand and banished it.

"Try something from the English side, dear" said Moony looking amused. Harry gave another small laugh as Ron sent him a look as if to say 'mental'. Tonks ordered pork chops as she deemed them the safest thing on the menu. Harry was quite hungry and ordered another helping and drank from the wine. It went well together and Harry sighed in content as he finally laid his fork down and drank the rest of his wine. Harry smiled as it automatically refilled for the fourth time that night.

Moony ordered some fire whisky that Ron raised his eyebrows at hoping. Moony took a hold of the smaller glass and down it in one gulp. Moony leaned over to Harry and whispered "Later" Harry smiled. Moony didn't order another as Tonks had cut her eye's at him.

Harry watch Fleur and Bill move to a table holding the weirdest looking cake Harry had ever seen!

"What kind of cake is that?" asked Ron looking unsure at the platter.

"It's call a 'croquembouche' " said Hermione with a knowing look.

"A what?" said Ron dumbfounded

"Let me guess another French tradition" said Ginny, as Hermione nodded her head. The 'croquembouche' it turned out to be made of small cream filled pastry puffs in the shape of a pyramid and covered in glaze.

They watched as Bill and Fleur fed each other a small piece and laughed as Fleur smeared a little cream on his cheek. The newly wed's then raised a silver doubled handled goblet. Harry was close enough to see it held special designs and engravings, but couldn't make out it's word's. Harry wasn't surprised to learn this was also a French tradition, but also a family heirloom. Much like the headpiece that Fleur wore on her head.

After this all the tent lights suddenly dimmed and all that was left was the floating candles and an illuminated dance floor. Bill and Fleur made there way over it and a soft male's voice started singing to the light beat, of a song Harry didn't know.

Bill was surprisingly not a bad dancer as he whipped them around the dance floor, he twirled Fleur making her dress dance around their leg's. At the end Bill dipped her again, though not kissing her till she returned to her full height. Harry joined in with the crowd as they applauded. Hermione was wiping her eye's and Ron sat stunned and uncertain as he patted her shoulder, clearly not knowing what to do, or say. Ron met his gaze and rolled his eye's, Harry gave a small smile. Harry saw that Tonks was whispering something softly into Moony's ear, who sat with a dazed expression on his face.

' That was so romantic ' sighed Ginny

' Yeah ' said Harry resigning to his fate and stood up and offered his hand to Ginny who smiled and took it. As she got to her feet Harry saw Ron and Moony shoot him look's as if to say ' Oh great thanks Harry, now we're going to have to dance too!' Hermione and Tonks looked wistfully between Harry and there own dates, who were now saying 'thanks'

Harry laughing inside lead Ginny to the dance floor and held her tightly around the waist with one hand while her soft one rested still in his other. Harry suddenly felt a little more confident with Ginny than he had at the Yule ball with Parvati Patel. He twirled Ginny out and back in closer to his own body and Ginny seemed mildly surprised. He started moving them around and twirling them, making Ginny smile and laugh. The song ended and another one started playing it's tone was softer than the last two and Ginny moved both her hands up around his shoulder's, one hand teasing his hair, and Harry reacted by bringing her body closer to his. His hands on her hip's, which were moving to the beat, swaying with his. Bringing her tighter against him to were there hips were up against each other's. The contact made Harry groan mentally, and Ginny gave a soft giggle. She wiggled her hip's with the beat of the music, looking innocent enough, but to Harry it was anything but!

' Gin don- ' but even his mind's thinking was cut off as she did it again. Harry felt his body starting to react to hers. Harry took a deep rattling breath and Ginny gave another giggle

' Mr. Potter, do I effect you that much? '

' More and more everyday '

' Well, we'll have to do something about that won't we. '

' Soon, Harry, not now, Soon ' Harry thought to himself, and Ginny giggled again.

"Mind if I cut in?" Harry turned and saw Mr. Weasley looking hopeful

"Yeah sure Mr. Weasley" said Harry as Ginny sent him a glare that her father couldn't see, but Harry couldn't tell Mr. Weasley no, and she agreed. So Harry kissed her cheek and gave Mr. Weasley her hand.

Harry turned and walked away, only stopping to look back at them for a moment, before heading back to the table. Moony and Tonks it turned out seemed to be having a serious conversation, judging by there engrossed looks at each other, and Harry was sure, he'd either be interrupting them saying something he really didn't want to hear, or interrupt Tonks telling Moony something Moony didn't want to hear, making Harry want to hear it even less. So Harry veered left and walked completely out of the tent and back into were the ceremony had taken place.

Everyone seemed to have romance on there mind's. Even Harry was stunned to fid out that Fred had invited Angelina Johnson. ' No real big surprise there, though ' thought Harry

' Surprised? No! Shocked? To death! ' replied Ginny. Harry gave a laugh out loud.

"Harry?" Harry turned to see Ron sitting in one of the white chairs in the back row. His face was content.

"Ron, what are you doing out here? Where's Hermione?" asked Harry taking a seat next to Ron.

"Inside, I don't know somewhere, not sure exactly" admitted Ron. Harry nodded in understanding. Hermione was always pulling that, mumbling something and flying off. "Where's Ginny?"

"Dancing with your Dad" said Harry

"Oh Harry listen, about Ginny and you, I know I've been acting a little-"

"Stupid ..thick?" offered Harry

"Yeah something like that" said Ron "But Ginny just isn't my sister, my only sister, she's sort of my friend too!. She's a special girl-"

"Women" Harry said simply interrupting.

"What?" said Ron looking slightly confused.

"Ginny is a women, Ron and yes I agree a very special women" said Harry feeling his griffin inside spark to life threatening. Harry took a calming breath and continued "I see your sister as the owner of my heart Ron, I wish now that I would have gotten with her in second year, but with Voldemort and then Sirius. I really didn't know how to take life"

"What about Cho then?" asked Ron

' What's he asking about? ' asked Ginny

' Cho ' said Harry simply

' Harry you don't have to answer anything about her, Ron is just being a prat, again. ' said Ginny

' I need to, to both of you ' Harry replied, then turned back to Ron "Ron Cho was just a pretty face I thought would see past all the famous stuff about me, but that didn't happen. She just turned to me in fifth year, after Cedric, because I was easy" making sure he spoke to Ginny in his mind as well as Ron out loud.

' Harry I thought you never...did..' began Ginny and Harry felt her heartache.

' No wildfire, I've never done anything like that with anyone, but you, just listen okay? Please! ' Harry softly begged Ginny patients and Ginny finally granted him an explanation. It hurt him to have her think that he had lied to her.

' Okay ' agreed Ginny hesitantly

"And what I mean by that is, I asked Cho to the Yule Ball before Cedric died, so she knew I liked her back then, and I still did in fifth year. So it was easy for her to have someone to lean on, someone to her try and take Cedric's place, give her everything she had with Cedric. A simple replacement. Nothing more. I realize this now, but not soon enough, or I could have saved us Madam Puddifoot's" said Harry, saying the last two word's with great sarcasm.

' You actually went into that place Harry ' Ginny gave a laugh he knew had been out loud, as her dance was over with Mr. Weasley and Harry could sense her standing behind the bushes, seemingly holding Hermione back too! Harry relived that she wasn't hurt or worse. As she continued to giggle.

"I still can't believe she actually did that to you" said Ron laughing too!

"Yeah, I can now" said Harry

"Sorry mate, but when...you know ..with Ginny, promise me-"

"Of course, I'll be gentle Ron, I'm no baboon!" said Harry defensively

"I know Harry, just being stupid again. I saw you two dancing and you were looking a bit ..err.. hot under the collar there" said Ron his ear's going pink in the fairy light's, but it was nothing compared to Harry's face. At the startling discovery that he had been caught by his girlfriend's brother, and best mate.

' Ginny, your brother noticed your little dance moves ' Harry sighed.

' How? '

' Something about me getting hot under the collar '

' Well, you are quite alluring, when you start getting turned on ' came Ginny's reply as she snickered.

' Thanks Gin '

' You're welcome, anytime ' said Ginny amusedly

"Hey you two" Fred's voice boomed out across to them making both guy's slightly jump at the intrusion.

"Getting ready for the show?" asked George as both twins gave off an identical mischievous smile.

"Show? What show?" asked Ron

"Fire work's of course, you dense or something?" said Fred

"Fire works indeed, come on Fred" said George as both twins started walking away.

"Oh no, Mum is not going to be happy" said Ron

"Tell me about it" said Ginny coming up on them. Hermione glaring after the twin's. Ginny sat on Harry's lap, and he wrapped his arm's around her waist automatically.

"They better be careful" said Hermione

"They will be until mum gets hold of them." said Ron as Hermione sat beside him and Harry watched Ron take her hand and she gave a smile. Two sudden cracks in the air had them jumping and the crowd of people inside, out in a matter of seconds. The cracks were merely the start of the fireworks display. Everyone took seat's around the four teenager's while a few chose to stand.

A series of cracks and two cupid's arrived in mid air along with four golden heart's. The cupid's danced with each other for a short time and then drawing out there bows and began shooting arrows at them. Harry laughed as the four golden hearts hid behind flower's that sprung up out of nowhere and when the arrows hit the flower's tiny flower's and star's shot out and fell gracefully to the ground at the crowd below. When the two cupid's finally began hitting the golden hearts one exploded and wrote 'Welcome to the Weasley's Fleur' The whole crowd awed and sent cheer's immediately to the twins and Harry noticed Mrs. Weasley's look of utter horror change into a great face of pride as her twins it seemed didn't want to ruin the perfect wedding, but just wanted to show their congratulations in there own way, of pure mayhem.

Another heart exploded just then and Harry refocused his eye's as Ginny laid her head on his shoulder. Harry held her tighter as 'Weasley Wizard Wheezes' was written across the black sky and the cupid's continued there dance with the occasional arrow shooting. When the third heart exploded a bunch of flowers fell to the ground and sparkled there until finally disappearing, and the cupids together seemed to ganged up on the final heart and danced merrily around it until flying back and together shooting their arrows at it. Upon impact the heart grew bigger and it exploded with a thundering sound and the word's 'Honeymoon time! Hee Hee' shone brightly making the crowd laugh and send another wave of cheer's at the twins. Who it seemed wanted to stay away from the crowd until the end of the show, but stepped up out of behind some flower bushes and took a bow as Bill and Fleur hugged them both and George pretended to faint as Fleur swept kisses on his cheeks and Fred dragged him off back behind the bush.

Bill and Fleur took their departure a soon bit after the show and Harry was stunned to see that it was a horse of white and it's saddle of burgundy. Two giant wings spanned from it's joints as Bill picked up Fleur and placed her on it's back and climbed up and sat behind her. Fleur had both legs of to the same side and Bill held her securely from behind and taking the straps of emerald silk and with a wave and yells from there friends and family the giant horse leaped into the air with it's passenger's and flew out of site. Within a few moments most of the crowd had departed and Harry looked up to see Hagrid heading toward them.

"How are you lot doing?" his voice boomed and Harry was sure he had been drinking fire whiskey.

"Hi Hagrid" Harry said, as Hagrid gave him a bone crushing hug, and Harry began gasping for air.

"Hello Hagrid" said Ginny. Hagrid let go of him and turned towards Ginny.

'Thanks Gin ' Harry sent her a wink and a smile as he rubbed at his ribs that had cracked in the hug. He adjusted the collar of his robes. As Ginny flashed him a smile.

"Hello there Ginny, Doin' Care of Magical Creatures this year?" Hagrid's voice boomed proudly and Ginny seemed to shrink her shoulder's.

' Damn ' Ginny said " No, unfortunately not this year, I'm trying for potion's instead, but Luna Lovegood I hear is looking forward to it. She say's it's the most interesting class at Hogwarts."

"Lovegood eh' strange girl that one. Din' ye go ou' with her Harry?" Hagrid turned on him. Harry heard Ron snicker from somewhere behind him and then heard a humph as Hermione no doubt hit him, again.

"We went to Professor Slughorn's Christmas party last year" said Harry, but quickly added "Just as friends"

"Friends eh'" Harry nodded

"Yeah Neville's going out with her though" said Hermione informatively.

"Longbottom?" asked Hagrid looking stumped for a second as Hermione nodded. "Knew he had his father's genes in him somewhere. Jus' took a bit longer to come ou' is all"

"Where is Madam Maxim?" asked Harry

"She's off telling the Delacour's thanks for inviting her, then we'll be off" said Hagrid

"Together?" asked Ron incredulously

"Well, obviously" snapped Ginny as Hagrid looked around nervously, if he blushed Harry couldn't tell.

"Yes well, best be off, here she comes now. See you lot at school" Hagrid walked off giving them a cheerful wave.

"Weird couple" muttered Ron and Harry agreed.

"Well, they are a bit unusual" said Hermione slowly

The tent was almost completely deserted as Gabriella had taken her leave and went to bed on her mother's order's and Mr. and Mrs. Delacour sat huddled at a table with another French couple chatting away drunkenly in French. Mr. and Mrs. Weasley were also quite drunk as they were dancing erotically against each other. A scene that Ron and Ginny both swore would haunt their nightmare's, for eternity. The girls took to dancing in a group together with some of Fleur's female cousins and Tonks, leaving Ron, Charlie, Moony and Harry sitting at a table nearest the dance floor.

Harry looked at Charlie remembering there conversation earlier that evening. Charlie it seemed had gotten with some French women with dark hair and eyes named Bella. Harry had to admit she was pretty, but compared to Ginny-"

' There better not be a comparison, Mr. Potter ' came Ginny voice and Harry sent her a laugh.

' No one has anything on you wildfire ' Ginny giggled and Harry watched her dance a few more minuet's before glancing around the table again.

Ron sat opened mouth starring at Hermione who was jumping up and down and her hands were in the air. Harry shifted his gaze to the man on his left. Moony look like a permanent sticking charm had been placed on his eyes and Tonks was the receiver. Though the music's beat was fairly fast all girl were jumping, twirling and moving to its beat. Harry eye's barley spared anyone else a glance as he too couldn't keep his eyes off Ginny, who's was making her body move fast and easily in every direction. Harry knew Ginny was hearing his thought's and knew that she was enticing him, alluring him, teasing him, and he allowed it. He just couldn't take his eye's off her.

"Were going to be needing some Fire whiskey I should think" came Moony's voice though Harry noticed it was barley above a whisper and barley heard to those sitting at the same table with him. He ordered four glasses and pushed three of them out, one at Charlie who took it and downed it in one gulp and slammed it down on the table with a hearty sigh Harry laughed with Ron and Moony, who immediately did the same, before glancing at Ron and Harry. Ron shrugged his shoulder's.

"Cheer's" and tilted his head back and down the glasses contents. He suddenly started coughing and Moony pushed some gillywater at him laughing. Ron's eyes though wet were shinning. "That's some great stuff, can I have some more?" Moony laughed with Charlie who had drugged his eye's away from the dance floor.

"In a moment or two, Harry?" said Moony looking expectantly at him. Harry heaved a deep sigh and starred into the glass of amber liquid. He drank it in one gulp. It immediately burned his throat and sent him into a coughing fit and he quickly took a drink of some water that was also pushed at him. Ron joined Moony and Charlie this time laughing at him.

"Another round?" asked Charlie already pushing the second round at them.

"Just one more" said Moony

Four round's later Harry's eye's were going in and out of focus and all four guy's had lost their dress cloaks, ties, and had untucked their shirt's. There cloaks and ties lay...somewhere! All four guy's were watching the girls dance around. Harry watched Ginny again as she and Hermione danced close, each laughing and thoroughly enjoying themselves. Harry sent Ron a grin.

"They've got to be mental" said Ron with out much conviction and Harry laughed. Charlie got to his feet and awkwardly joined Bella on the dance floor. She gave a laugh as Charlie wrapped his arm's around her middle.

' Harry want to dance with me? ' Ginny asked. Harry noticed she wasn't looking at him. He stood up with even less grace than Charlie.

"Wait" said Moony stopping him from taking another step.

"What?" asked Harry somewhat irritably.

"Here" Moony pressed his wand into Harry's stomach and he felt himself break out into a cold sweat, but it with the incoherence and the rest of the effect's of the fire whiskey had put on him were lightened, and almost gone. Harry muttered hi thanks and walked more steadily to the dance floor.

Harry slid up behind Ginny and pressed himself against her. The effect was immediate. Ginny twirled around to face him, as her arms sipped around his neck. Harry put his hand's on her hip's holding her as close as possible. The moved and swayed with each other kissing and teasing. His legs between hers and she slid over them and Harry's breath hitched in his throat. Merlin where did she learn that? Ginny laughed at his thought's.

' Want to go for a walk? ' thought Harry

' Yeah '

Harry smiled at her as they untangled themselves from each other. He took her hand and lead her out of the tent. Unnoticed to all. They found a winding path heading deeper into the garden. Fairy light's lead the way. The soft tune of the tent's music echoed gently around them. It gave the impression that romance was in the air, and for Harry it was!

They found a small white gazebo and Ginny smiled mischievously at it. She stood on her tip toes and peered inside and gasped. Harry leaned over her shoulder and felt his eye's go wide. Charlie was lying on top of Bella and their clothes were thrown in a pile next to them. Harry quickly grabbed Ginny's hand and lead her away.

' You're never going to let that go are you? ' asked Harry already knowing the answer.

' Not a chance ' said Ginny ' It's too good to pass up '

' I think you've got to much of Fred and George in you ' Harry teased with a snicker.

' Maybe if you look deeper... what do you see? '

Harry paused and looked into Ginny's brown eye's that were dancing again.

"All women" said Harry huskily as Ginny smiled and brought his head down for her kiss of passion. He ran his tongue along her bottom lip and was permitted entrance. Harry stoked his tongue against hers, until Ginny's throat was emitting small noises. Harry tilted her head to the side and delved in further making Ginny moan in her rising desire, as she met his wild strokes with enthusiasm. She pushed him into a nearby bench and Harry collapsed into it gratefully Ginny slid on across his lap and pushed her hip's into his, this time it was Harry's turn to groan.

Ginny teased him a bit before she slid completely off his lap and between his leg's. Harry starred curiously at her. As she unzipped his trousers and reached her hand in and rubbed him gently. Harry groaned as he watched Ginny lift him out of his confining clothes through his zipper and slide her hand over his entire length. Harry hissed his own desire. Ginny flashed him a smile and Harry gulped trying for breath as her mouth slid over him. ' Merlin Ginny ' thought Harry incoherently as he heard Ginny's muffled giggle. The vibration of it all was too much. Ginny kept her mouth moving as she slipped him in further each time. Harry ground his hands in her hair pulling out pin's and clips. making her hair free, and wild.

Ginny flicked her tongue over a spot she found recently and Harry tightened his fingers around her head, helping her go faster. Ginny finally slid as much of him in as she could take, before lifting her head and Harry saw himself glistening in the moon light with her saliva, the look of it was driving him harder. Ginny engulfed him again and Harry had no trouble helping her along. Her hand held him tightly around the base and her mouth worked miracles on the rest of him.

Harry was groaning and muttering "faster, Gin, oh Merlin that's it" Ginny's hair whipped around him and puddle into his lap. Harry pulled out of her mouth in time to spill in the grass below them. Ginny flashed him another smile and Harry though feeling like he had just encountered a grindylow smiled back. He brought her up on his lap again and kissed her lip's tasting himself. Harry's hands grazed her leg's before finding her center and returning the favor. Ginny's head was thrown back as her own climax neared and to Harry it was the prefect ending to the perfect night.

When they arrived back at the Burrow Mr. and Mrs. Weasley said a very slurry goodnight and Harry laughed at Ron face. Harry was pleased that no one, not even Ron said anything about Ginny's hair now being down. And It wasn't to much longer before the four teenager's having worn out the topic of Fred and George's fireworks display said there own goodnight's and gave the appropriate kisses. Harry dropped into his bed with dreams of Ginny keeping him company through most of the night.
