Harry wriggled in the uncomfortable plastic chair he was sitting in. The Weasley's backyard had been elaborately decorated for Bill and Fleur's wedding, including chairs, flowers, an altar and even an ice sculpture which had cooling charms on it.
Harry was seated next to Ron who seemed to have become much closer with Hermione, though, whether anything had happened between them, neither was saying.
Harry looked up toward the altar and met Ginny's eyes. She looked stunning in her pale blue bridesmaids dress.
'In fact', Harry thought, 'even with their Veela blood, Fleur and Gabrielle pale in comparison to Ginny's beauty.'
Ginny silently giggled noticing how Harry's jaw had dropped. They continued to gaze into each other's eyes through the whole ceremony, each second appreciating their love so much more.
When finally Bill and Fleur were finally pronounced 'Husband and Wife' and had shared the traditional kiss, everyone clapped and cheered and took joy in their happiness.
The chairs were rearranged around tables and a dance floor was set up as everyone prepared for the party.
Harry had gone inside to take his formal jacket off as it was too hot outside to keep wearing it. As he was heading back outside he paused in the doorway and took a moment to see and appreciate all his friends who had given him something to fight for and given him hope. They were laughing and chatting and everyone was smiling, Bill and Fleur were practically glowing with happiness. Ron and Hermione were dancing and holding each other close and Harry realized that this may be one of the last times he would see all these people happy again. Who knew what would happen after Harry left tomorrow. All he knew was that people were going to die, and he might be one of them. By the time he returned things would have changed a great deal. And though the thought terrified him, it also gave him strength.
He was taken away from his dark thoughts when he felt fingers intertwine with his own and looked over to see Ginny leaning against his shoulder. She looked up at him and smiled.
"Are you okay?" she asked gently.
"Yeah, Gin. I really think I am."
Ginny did not look convinced so Harry put his arm around her and said, "C'mon Ginny, lets dance. This may be one of the last times we're all together like this." And though it was a sad thing to say, they smiled at each other.
Harry walked out into the garden with the girl he loved and joined all the others he loved and smiled as the rays of sunlight hit his face, giving him Hope.
AN: Ok so I know that was really short but it is only the epilogue. Wow this fic has taken me a long time to finish. But I think I'm pretty happy with the result. I started off writing it thinking it would only be a couple of chapters but it morphed into something quite different. I hope you all enjoyed it! Review!
