Disclaimer: I don't own any of these characters. Most of the characters are owned by JK Rowling. Then the other characters are probably are owned by CLAMP. I doubt I will actually make any original characters so the only thing that I really own is the original story I am writing. The events in the past for the characters from Tsubasa and the characters are owned by their respective authors.

Warning: I am writing this a seventh year story so there will be spoilers for all Harry Potter books. Also if you have not read Tsubasa you will be seeing spoilers for it. I am going to assume almost none of you have read Tsubasa so I will provide more of the canon back story for it than I will the Harry Potter books.

A Tarnished Memory
Chapter 4: The Wedding and the Gift of Life

The next week was hectic. Fleur and Mrs. Weasley were running around like chickens with their heads cut off. Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny stayed out of the way. They spent a lot of time in the Weasley's practice pitch as Harry had come to know it.

Harry and Ginny didn't get much time alone, but their relationship began to flourish as they talked through the journal-diary link and the little time they managed to spend alone.

Harry also had to take care of his phoenix egg. He made sure it was warm and in a dry, clean place. A baby phoenix could react rather badly to water.

Then the day came. The entire house was chaotic. Fleur was flying around the house making sure she had all her wedding stuff, as Mrs. Weasley followed her trying to get her to calm down.

When everything had been gathered, Mr. Weasley called them over. "Ok, we are taking a portkey to the church. So gather around and touch this watch." They all gathered together making sure they were all linked with the portkey. (I could add a tiny bit of fluff here, but I won't. ;P)

Then they were off the luggage following them through the void. After a bit, they all landed.

"Why did that take so long?" Harry asked.

"We had to take a trans-continental portkey because this church is in France. Fleur insisted on the wedding being held in her home town." Mr. Weasley said.

"Ok, so where exactly are we?" Harry asked.

"We are in a church in Marseilles, France." Mr. Weasley answered.

Then Harry heard a screech, " 'Arry!" and a white blur shot towards Harry. It almost tackled him in a hug.

"Hi…Gabriel, right?" Harry said hesitantly.

Gabriel screeched again and hugged him even tighter.

"It's good to see you again, too, Gabriel, but if you keep squeezing me, I won't be able to breath." Harry said.

She let go grimacing and instead hugged his arm refusing to let go.

Meanwhile the Weasleys and Fleur had left to start getting ready. Fleur's family had also approached Harry. They were looking at him in awe.

Then Fleur's father spoke, in surprisingly good English, "Hello, Mr. Potter. It's so nice to meet you. My wife and I would like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for saving our daughter two years ago."

Harry blushed, "I didn't really have to save her. She wouldn't have died, Dumbledore wouldn't have allowed it." Harry then fell silent because of the memories that were flooding into his mind.

"We know that, but you risked your life to save our daughter and for that we are grateful. And we heard about your lost. We are deeply sorry for your lost. Dumbledore was a close friend of mine actually. He always spoke highly of you when we talked. From what I could tell he wanted to adopt you all those years, but he couldn't bear to keep you from the protections he had invoked. It tore him up at first, when he had first left you with your relatives, but I think he started hiding it after a bit. He always thought of you as a son." Fleur's dad reminisced.

Harry did all he could to not cry. He thanked Fleur's parents for inviting him to the wedding and left the chapel, as he did, he almost ran into Ginny, who was coming to find him.

Ginny looked at him and asked, "What's wrong, Harry?"

Harry leaned back against the wall and slid down to the floor. He then burst into tears and started mumbling through his sobs.

Ginny managed to catch "Dumbledore" in his incoherent mumblings and understood. "It's ok, Harry."

"No, its not. I can't even help crying at the mere hint of him. I'm pathetic." Harry said.

"No your not, Harry. You just haven't dealt with all of your grief. You need to let it all go and start to move on with your life. It's what he would have wanted you to do. He wouldn't want you to put a hold on your life just because of him. If it helps turn all your grief into anger and a thirst for revenge, or you can confide in me whenever you want. Just, whatever you do, don't keep it to yourself. Grief is better dealt with when shared than when they are kept to you." Ginny said comforting him.

Harry got up and hugged her. "Thank you, Ginny. I don't know what I would do without your."

"Well you will never have to find out, Harry, because I will never ever leave you." Ginny said to him, while she held Harry's head to her shoulder letting him cry all he wants.

After that, Harry was too busy helping Bill get ready, which was nothing compared to what Ginny and Fleur's other bride's maids had to do. Fleur was having them go all over the place making sure everything was perfect.

Then the ceremony started. Harry, Ron, and Charlie met Fleur's bride's maids, Ginny, Gabriel and Fleur's mother. They all walked in when the wedding march began. First was Ginny escorted by Harry (A/N: I was tempted to add some fluff leading to this.). Next was Fleur's mom escorted by Ron and last came the Maid of Honor escorted by the best man, Gabriel and Charlie.

When they had taken their places, Fleur, escorted by her father, started her slow march down the aisle. When she finally reached the end, her father lifted her veil a bit and kissed her on the cheek. Then he replaced the veil, turned and shook Bill's hand. Then he sat down in the front row.

(A/N: I don't remember what all is said at a wedding, but I know it is boring, so I won't bother looking it up and putting it here)

After the ceremony, the wedding procession left with escorts as before, except now Fleur was escorted by her new husband, Bill.

When they arrived at the reception hall all the guest were already there. When they stepped into the hall, the music started playing. Bill and Fleur stepped onto the dance floor and started dancing to their first song as a married couple. They were shortly followed by each bride's maid and their escort.

The song ended and the procession took their seats at the head table. Then the feast started. There were lots of toasts and everyone was merry.

When the feast was over the floor was cleared and the music started again. Now several couples were entering the dance floor. When the third song had started Harry asked Ginny to dance.

They stepped out and started dancing. As the song went on Harry started feeling hotter and hotter. It was a comfortable warmth, but it was getting even hotter and he was starting to sweat.

When the song ended they stepped off the dance floor and sat down.

"What's wrong, Harry? You're read are starting to sweat." Ginny asked worried.

"I don't know. When we started dancing I started to feel warm. I'm not sure what it is, though." Harry answered.

"You don't think it is a sign do you, about V…Voldemort?" Ginny asked.

"No, it's hot, but it's comfortable at the same time. It's like I'm in the flames of a floo." Harry said.

"Maybe we should ask someone." Ginny suggested.

They looked around and the only adult not dancing, that they could trust, was Charlie. They went up to him and explained what was happening.

"Ron said something about you receiving a phoenix egg. It that so?" Charlie asked.

Harry nodded.

Charlie chuckled a little. "We read about it in N.E.W.T. Magical Creatures. No one has ever confirmed it, but if a phoenix is ever bound to someone before birth it calls its master to witness its hatching. The egg probably bound itself to you and is almost ready to hatch." Charlie explained.

After Charlie had explained it, Harry and Ginny went to the side and talked further.

"What are you going to do, Harry?" Ginny asked.

"I'm going to go back and check on the egg. You tell anyone that I had to go some where and I will go back in a bit." Harry said thinking it over.

"Can I go with you? I want to watch too. Nobody will miss us, and if they do Charlie could probably tell them where we went." Ginny pleaded.

Harry thought it over. "Ok, but if it takes too long I'm bringing you back."

"Yay, Harry!" Ginny said hugging him.

Harry took the chance and apparated them back to the Burrow straight into Ron's room.

Ginny let go and they looked over and sure enough Harry's egg was glowing on his make shift bed.

Ginny and Harry sat down on Ron's bed and watched the egg. It started to get brighter and then they saw a crack appear on its surface. Then more cracks appeared all over its surface, and then the egg startled them by bursting into flame. They heard a familiar song and then the flames died down and all that was left was a small baby chick.

Harry scooped it up and placed it in a special cage he had gotten for his new friend. He had already prepared the cage ahead of time for the baby phoenix.

"So what are you going to name it?" Ginny asked.

"I don't think that is up to me. From what I read about them this one already has a name." Harry said.

"Huh?" Ginny said confused.

"Well a phoenix egg is only known to appear when an old phoenix dies, and that only happens when a phoenix's master dies." Harry explained to her.

A sudden look of realization appeared on her face. "So you mean that this is Fawkes?" Ginny said.

Harry nodded his head. He could have sworn he had also seen the chick give her a wink out of the corner of his eye also.

"So what are you going to do now?" Ginny asked.

"According to my book, nothing. I prepared the cage and it is now set for a week. By then it will be grown enough to hunt for itself. There really isn't much else to do till its burning day." Harry said.

"Burning day?" Ginny asked confused.

"Once ever year a phoenix 'dies' and is reborn from the ashes," Harry explained.

Ginny nodded, and the two watched as the baby phoenix hobbled around its new home. Hedwig flew over to cage and hooted to Harry's new pet. The chick gave a beautiful trill in response. With that Hedwig seem content and went back to her perch.

"It appears that Hedwig likes Fawkes too." Ginny said.

"Well there isn't much else to do here. Why don't we get back before they notice we are missing?" Harry said after some silence.

Ginny nodded and Harry reached for her arm. She instead hugged him. Harry was surprised and stood there for a moment. Ginny then got him again by giving him a quick kiss. This snapped Harry back to reality.

Harry looked down into Ginny's brown eyes, and then, he leaned down and kissed her. After a minute or two they broke it off to breath.

"We best be getting back, now." Harry whispered into her ear.

Ginny nodded and the two disappeared from the Burrow reappearing back at the wedding moments later.

When they looked around they noticed that Mrs. Weasley was running around freaking out.

"What's wrong, mum?" Ginny asked her concerned as she walked over to her with Harry in tow.

"Where have you been? Fleur just announced it." Mrs. Weasley said.

"Announced what? I had to go use the loo and I must have missed it." Ginny said confused.

"She's pregnant. Her and Bill are having a baby. I need to do…" Mrs. Weasley went on and on listing what she needed to do as Ginny went over to Bill that was avoiding the crowd around Fleur asking her questions.

"How long have you known?" Ginny asked him.

"Hmm. I think about a week and a half now." Bill answered truthfully.

"Why didn't you tell us sooner then? You shouldn't keep something like this from your family." Ginny scolded.

"For one, look how mum is reacting, and two, we thought this would be a perfect time to tell everyone." He answered.

With that the night went on and everyone had an enjoyable night. Harry ended up with the garter belt. He hadn't even tried to catch it. It had just landed on his head. Ginny then ended up with the bouquet. This had made the two of them blush at each other, and a knowing smile flashed across Hermione's face.

Once everyone was ready to go, Mr. Weasley called them all together and produced another portkey. He then asked them all to touch it. Ginny grabbed Harry's hand just like Harry knew she would. At the last moment, he released the portkey and the others disappeared leaving just Harry and Ginny.

"What did you do that for, Harry?" Ginny asked.

"So I could do this." Harry kissed her deeply. While they were kissing, Harry apparated them to the Burrow's roof.

When they broke the kiss, Ginny panicked at first. After Harry explained she calmed down.

"Ginny, I'm going to go do something, but I'll be right back," Harry told her. She nodded at him.

Harry disappeared.

He then reappeared in the Burrow's kitchen.

Everyone was in the kitchen with grave looks on their faces. When Harry appeared they all rushed him.

"Calm down, people! I'm alright." Harry assured them.

"What happened?" Mrs. Weasley asked.

"I think I accidentally let go of the portkey right before it left. So, I apparated me and Ginny back." Harry explained.

"But, where is Ginny then? You didn't splinch her did you? Transcontinental apparition is extremely difficult." Mrs. Weasley worriedly asked.

"No, no, of course not. I wanted to show her something so I left her elsewhere. I promise I will have her back at a decent hour." With that Harry disappeared, not allowing the Weasleys to protest.

Harry was back on the roof. "So where do you want to go? I'll take you where ever you want to go." Harry told Ginny.

"I don't care, Harry. There is no place I would rather be then with you." Ginny responded.

Harry smiled and pulled out his wand muttering a spell.

Then from the house came a broom and a folded cloth rushing towards Harry. He caught them and called her over.

They mounted the broom and Harry wrapped the invisibility cloak around them and the broom. They then kicked off.

The two teenagers enjoyed a few hours flying around the countryside watching the scenery pass by as they flew wherever they wanted.

Harry then landed and gave Ginny a final kiss before apparating them to her room. After the kiss ended, Harry apparated back to Ron's room.

Needless to say the two teenagers fell into blissful dreams with a smile on each of their faces.

A/N: Well I hope you liked the chapter. I'm sorry that this chapter took so long to get out. I think that I will finally bring the Tsubasa characters into the story with the next chapter. I'm not sure of the name of the chapter, but it should bring the group to Hogwarts and go through the feast. I will say this. I'm not very good at doing poetry so I will not be writing a Sorting Hat song. I guess that is all I'm going to tell you about the next chapter.
