A/N: Thanks for the reviews and here we go… with the chapter… finding out… the outcome.

DISCLAIMER: Only the plot, Ashlee, Jena, Jim, Joseph, Amanda and Rebecca.

Chapter Thirteen: As One

A day passed, with the jury going away to decide on the outcome of the case. At nine am the next morning all of the Weasley's, Harry, Hermione, McGonagall, Remus, Tonks and Jena all filed back into the court to hear the outcome. The jury walked in and the judge asked the plaintiff and defendant to rise.

"Will the jury please state the outcome?" said the Judge.

An old witch stood and cleared her throat, "We find the defendant guilty of abduction and rape."

Ginny cried out happily and hugged Joseph and then her family members.

"Order!" cried the judge, "The defendant will be sent to St Mungo's for five years to get proper treatment and will not be allowed release under any circumstances!"

St Mungo's people walked in and collected a stunned Joseph, who was being talked to by his lawyer.

"It's over," said Ginny hugging Harry, "It's over!"

"So when will the wedding be?" asked Ginny four months later, it was now July.

"In three months," said Hermione as they walked through Diagon Alley during the school holiday season, "October is autumn – the perfect month because there are so many colours!"

Ginny smiled, "Obviously on a weekend when school isn't on."

"Of course. But Ron and I are buying a house in Hogsmeade so that I can go home at night and to work in the morning. I won't be living at Hogwarts anymore. Anyway, how is Ashlee? She still dating Joey?"

Ginny nodded, thinking of how her sister was now happily dating her lawyer, "Yeah. Those two are really smitten together. Mum adores him as much as she adores you and Harry."

Hermione smiled, "So, will you be my Maid of Honour?"

"Of course!" cried Ginny hugging Hermione, "I would love too!"

Hermione grinned and hugged Ginny back, "I want you to help me plan the outfits though. You have a flare for style."

Ginny nodded, "Just let me know when you want to start the planning."

"How about now?" asked Hermione pointing to a bridal outfit's store.

"What are we waiting for?"

Ginny arrived back at the Burrow to smell her mother cooking mixed herb coated pork chops, crunchy potatoes, that were soft on the inside, beans, peas, carrots and corn cobs for dinner. Ashlee was sitting in the kitchen chatting away to Molly, but when Ginny walked in she greeted her sister with a hug.

"Have fun shopping with Hermione?" asked Molly.

"Yeah. I'm going to be the Maid of Honour at her wedding, which will be in October," said Ginny smiling.

"That's when Fleur is due too have her baby! They can't have it then!"

"But Mum, it's the perfect time. Falling colourful leaves… wonderful sunsets… it'll be so romantic!"

"Yes, but Fleur will not be up to attending the wedding, so heavily pregnant," said Molly firmly.

"You don't know that," pointed out Ginny just as firmly, "Everyone is different when it comes to being heavily pregnant."

"But all women get tired easy."

Ginny sighed, "It's Ron and Hermione's wedding Mum. Don't go interfering and changing the dates on them. Let them have it when they want too. If Fleur and Bill can't attend, I am sure Ron and Hermione will understand completely."

"Well, I suppose you are right. Your father shouldn't be long now," said Molly peering at her clock which now held a new hand for Ashlee, "Ashlee, how is Joey?"

Ashlee blushed a little earning a teasing nudge from Ginny, "He's good. Busy working on a lawsuit. What about Harry, Ginny?"

"Harry is great. Did I tell you already over five hundred people have applied for his school from around the world? It's amazing! He's going to have fifteen students per class. And each class will go for three hours each. That's 3 classes a day; nine to twelve, one to three and three – ten too six ten."

"So for Harry it's 45 students a day. What about Ron?"

"Same as Harry, and for Remus. They'll have a total of 135 students. They are trying to find one more teacher. They have spoken to Dean Thomas… but he is just considering it at the moment… I hope he says yes, because he was planning on being an Aurour before the war."

Molly smiled, "It's only the first year. Next year Harry will know what is needed."

Ginny nodded a thought running through her mind. Could she do it? Would she be able to handle it? Ginny sighed, then regretted it when Ashlee and her mother looked at her with a raised eyebrow each.

"Just thinking and its nothing serious," reassured Ginny.

"Are you thinking the same thing as me?" asked Ashlee with the still raised eyebrow, "That we could teach at Harry's school?"

"Well yeah. But I don't know if I would be cut out for it. I did well in DADA… but I don't know."

"Harry will test the applicants for teaching positions. Just have Remus test you to make it fair," said Molly reasonably.

"Exactly," said Ashlee with a nod, "Minerva will find someone to take our spots."

"I guess."

G

"Are you sure?" asked Harry looking at Ginny seriously, "You love teaching at Hogwarts. Are you sure you aren't doing this to just help me?"

Ginny sighed. She didn't know for sure. Yes she did love her job at Hogwarts, the students seemed to love having her as a Professor at Hogwarts.

"Ginny? Am I right?" asked Harry, "I'm not trying to make you change your mind. I just want you to be really sure about this."

Ginny shrugged her shoulders, "I love the students."

Harry nodded as he handed Ginny her cup of coffee and sat beside her, "What else?"

"The subject. Arithmancy is so interesting! I love showing the students that a boring sounding subject can really be fun. No other Professor does that!"

Harry smiled at Ginny's enthusiasm, "And you want to leave the school to come teach people your age how to do spells properly?"

"I guess I was doing it to help you," said Ginny a little guiltily, "I know Ash will be good at it. She has the what do you call it?"

"Natural talent?"

Ginny shrugged, "Yeah that's it. So has Ron asked you to be his Best Man?"

Harry nodded, "He said Herms asked you."

Ginny nodded with a grin, "We have already started looking for wedding gowns. Hermione has her eye on one but she is still going to look at others, but I think she will pick it. It's so beautiful Harry."

Harry smiled, "So you will be staying with teaching at Hogwarts? Doing what you want? The Weasley way?"

Ginny chuckled, "Yes. The Weasley way."

Harry nodded and kissed Ginny tenderly, "But if you ever have a complete change of heart and want to teach people your age… you can come teach at my school anytime."

Ginny grinned and kissed Harry again.

G

"I love it," said Ginny, "I knew you would pick it as well."

Hermione smiled as she twirled around in the strapless gown with a happy, glowing grin on her face. But as she twirled she came to a stop, a look of shock on her face. Frowning Ginny turned around at what Hermione was looking at. Standing in the shop doorway was none other then Rebecca.

"B-B-Be-eck," said Hermione in a stuttering manner, "What are you doing back?"

"I came to see you. I heard you were getting married from Madame Maxime, who was told by Minerva," she said, "Are you marrying Ron?"

Hermione nodded, "In three months. October the 21st. Ginny is my maid of honour."

Ginny gave Rebecca a slight look of loathing before leaving to look at gowns for her to wear.

"How long have you been engaged for?" asked Rebecca curiously.

"Four months roughly," answered Hermione running a hand down her gown.

"Oh. Didn't take you long to get back with Ron."

"What is that meant to mean?" demanded Hermione looking at Rebecca in annoyance, "I'm in love with Ron. I told you that."

"I know. But did you really consider my feelings?"

Hermione gave Rebecca a quizzical look, "We ended it before either of us fell in love. You said that yourself."

"Well I lied. I only came here today to tell you that I fell in love with you. But not to worry. I have found someone else and she is a wonderful person," said Rebecca, "I know it was a stupid thing to come here, but I just felt you had to know that I did love you Hermione. But I managed to get past it… and I want to congratulate you."

Hermione smiled a little, "Thanks."

"And that dress," continued Rebecca, "Will blow Ron away."

"Thanks," said Hermione hugging Rebecca goodbye and wishing her well.

Ginny walked back over carrying a red wine coloured strapless dress. It was completely fitted to the hips where the material flowed out with a meshy see through material over it, the same colour. It only came to the knees but Hermione loved it and ordered Ginny to try it on while she changed out of the gown. When Ginny walked out with the gown, the same time as Hermione, Hermione grinned nodding.

Ginny looked at herself in the mirror and grinned at Hermione.

"I like it," nodded Ginny.

"I LOVE it!" replied Hermione circling Ginny, "That is the one!"

Ginny smiled and changed out of the gown and back into her original clothes. After paying for the gowns and having them packaged with a non ripping paper, and spelled with a stain resistant they left the shop to go find shoes.

"Everything okay between you and Rebecca?" asked Ginny curiously.

"She just came to tell me that she did fall in love but got over it, is now with someone else and wishes me all the best with Ron," sighed Hermione with a shrug, "But you know… in a way I'm happy she wishes me the best and then in another I don't know why she wished a me all the best."

Ginny nodded understanding, "Oh, they are nice," said Ginny looking at a pair of maroon strappy-heeled shoes with white diamonds over the top of them.

Without a word the two women ran in to have a better looks of the shoes.

"Welcome back to another year," said Ginny smiling at her students who were in second year last year but were now in third year and at there first Arithmancy lesson, "You all have chosen to take up the study of Arithmancy. In muggle terms this is numerology. It is complicated but, I will make you all understand every single bit! And it won't be boring to the point you all fall asleep in my class. I'll make it fun! I remember this subject at your age and found it boring but too interesting to leave."

The students all grinned at Ginny and looked at her eagerly.

"Okay, so let's start with the introduction on page five. I want each of your to read a paragraph in turn and then discuss what it is saying. So let's begin with… Josie Scintilla."

The students began reading each in turn and then discussing the paragraph. Nearly every student had a comment to make, pleasing Ginny greatly. The period seemed to fly by for Ginny and the students, who actually groaned when it ended.

"No homework today," said Ginny, "I'll save that for later. Have a good day and be nice to your teachers."

Ginny packed up the third year gear and pulled out the things needed for her sixth years.

The rest of the day passed in a breeze, with all the students doing introductory work for that year. At dinner time though, Ginny was famished and walked into the Great Hall, chatting to Hermione who was staying for dinner as Ron would be home from work late that night. Along they way they caught up with the new DADA teacher, Nymphadora Tonks.

"How was the first day?" asked Hermione.

"Entertaining," grinned Tonks with her bubble gum pink hair, "This is how they see me today… not tomorrow."

"Tonks!" cried Hermione, "You can't do that! The pupils will be utterly confused!"

"I like it," grinned Ginny, "Have long black oily hair and a Snape like nose!"

"Ginny, no! That will really scare them."

"She could always do You-Know-Who," shrugged Ginny as they sat down.

"Oh then I would love to see how Minerva would react. Let alone the mess Filch will have to clean up," snapped Hermione in annoyance.

"Oh Hermione, not get all shirty with me," sighed Ginny, "I was kidding, but that is something she could do and perhaps pay a visit to the Malfoy family."

Tonks chuckled, "That idea I would indeed love to do. But Remus wouldn't allow it. You know him… the logical thinker."

Ginny nodded, "Well you should impersonate someone. Something that would really confuse the students and then morph into the usual you."

Tonks nodded, "So what about frizzy red hair, bright green eyes, freckles all over with a button like nose and large lips?"

Ginny chuckled, "Yeah and at breakfast be the way you are now so they don't figure it out."

Hermione sighed an annoyance at the idea.

"Oh come on Herms. Lessons should at least have some entertainment in them or the students get bored," said Ginny, "I always make my lessons interesting. I don't want my students coming to class with dread."

"I know Ginny, I do the same," said Hermione, "But I won't play tricks on my students."

"I do," said Ginny, "Tomorrow I'll be saying did you all do your homework. It's amusing to see their faces… full of shock."

Hermione sighed, "Obviously I am out voted here. Perhaps it will be amusing."

"You know it will Herms," said Ginny, "Even Ron would think the same thing."

Hermione merely sighed and nodded knowing her fiancé would probably think the same thing.

"Will you sit still?" cried Ginny trying to curl the long down hair, "Hermione, let Mum deal with the flowers!"

"But they could be wilted," protested Hermione as Ginny pushed her down into her seat.

"They won't be. Mum is do a spell on them that will keep the refreshed," said Ginny, "Now be calm. The wedding is only three hours away and I still have to do your nails and my hair, nails and make up."

"Need some help?"

Ginny looked up at the door way and saw her sister there, "Oh yes please. Can you finish curling her hair and then twist it up into a bun, like the photo beside Hermione. Make sure she stays sitting down!"

Ginny ran from the room and down the hall into her bedroom. The wedding was taking place in the field over looking the other farms. Ginny stripped off and dressed into her gown. She muttered a spell to do her nails in the matching colour to her gown and then hurried out, down stairs.

"I love the dress Ginny," smiled her mother, "The flowers are fine."

"Oh good," nodded Ginny turning to run up the stairs before turning back to her mum, "Are Mr and Mrs-"

"They are being shown the ceremony and reception area by your father."

"Okay and the food?"

"Is fine."

Ginny nodded checking if there was anything else to ask. When she thought of nothing else to ask she ran back up stairs to finish preparing for the wedding. On her way up, she ran into a heavily pregnant Fluer. No matter what size Fluer was, she still managed to look radiant. It just occurred to Ginny she would have a niece or nephew that would have Veela blood in them with a touch of werewolf. Ginny, however, smiled at Fluer and entered the room where Hermione was getting the finishing touches on her hair.

"Is everything okay?" asked Hermione worriedly.

"Everything is perfect Hermione," smiled Ginny, "Mum has everything under control. Stop panicking. Ash can you please do something with my hair?"

Ashlee nodded and Ginny sat down beside Hermione, who didn't know what to do.

"What if I mess up with the vows?" asked Hermione, "Or trip as I walk down the aisle? Oh, that would be horrible! I'll do it. I know I will!"

"No you won't," said Ginny as Ashlee twisted her long red hair, "You will pull everything of perfectly like you do with everything else in life."

"But this is different Ginny! Today I will become Hermione Leah Weasley!" cried Hermione, "It's completely different, it's a life time commitment to the one you love!"

"Yes, but it will go perfectly. Calm down and just… pace everything out."

Hermione nodded, stood up and began pacing around the rooms.

Ginny sighed and Ashlee grinned.

"You'll be the same when you get married," said Ashlee, "You watch."

"I know," agreed Ginny, "So will you."

"How do you know?"

"Because you are my twin and when it happens it will be like looking in the mirror."

Ashlee chuckled, "I guess so. There we go."

Ginny smiled and nodded. Ashlee had twisted her and tucked the ends away into the inside of the twist and clipped it to say that way. It was smooth with no bumps and only a little bit of hair out that was pushed to the side of her face.

"I like it."

"Something I used to do for music awards or special events," sighed Ashlee, "Now I better get ready myself."

G

"I do," smiled Hermione looked at Ron lovingly, who was dressed in tailor made black robes.

"Then, with the power invested in me, I know pronounce you husband and wife," finished the magical world priest, "You may now kiss the Bride."

With a grin, Ron lifted Hermione's veil and kissed her gently. Ginny looked on teary eyed at the couple and clapped with the other guests. She could hear her mother's happy sobs, mingling in with Mrs Granger's. Then with a wave of a wand, Arthur transformed the area around them into a huge tent with tables covered in white tablecloths with roses and candles in the middle of them. A dance floor transformed on the ground underneath Ginny's feet. Soft music began playing but everyone moved to their tables where their names were displayed. Ginny took her seat beside a beaming Hermione, who greeted Ginny with a hug.

"I told you, you would do everything perfectly," said Ginny quietly, "Even Ron managed too."

Hermione smiled, "I'm Mrs Weasley now."

Ginny grinned and hugged Hermione again, "Congratulations."

Hermione smiled and turned to Ron, too give him another kiss. Twenty minutes later, after talking, laughing or sitting in silence, listening, the food appeared on the plates. The tent was then filled with the sounds of clinking forks and knife's along with talking.

"Time for the speeches," said Arthur standing on the dance floor, "Harry will give his about Ron and Hermione."

Harry stood and walked to the middle of the dance floor, "Well I didn't write a speech because it just wouldn't sound right. I knew I would say something at this time that comes from the heart. When I met Ron, on my very first day, I knew he would be the person I would stick with throughout my life. And I have. We may have had our moments, but every friendship does. Those three years where I isolated myself from the world were hard and lonely. But as soon as I returned, my bestfriends were there. Hermione… Hermione will always be our mother hen. The constant worrier and logical one," Harry grinned at Hermione and Ron, "But those two were always destined to be together. When they fought – everyone was miserable… mainly them… when they were together they bickered but everyone was happy. They have spent many years together and will no doubt spend a lot more with each other. You two are my bestfriends and are more like my brother and sister. I love you both and wish you two a lot of happiness together."

Harry smiled at them and walked back to his seat where Hermione hugged him with tears in her eyes and Ron gave him a pat on the back.

"Ginny," said Arthur, "Your turn."

Ginny stood and walked to where Harry had stood. She like Harry couldn't write a speech.

"The moment I saw Hermione and Ron together I knew they would wind up marrying," admitted Ginny, "It was just plain obvious. But still, both are my bestfriends and they are always, always there for anyone when they need them. I can still remember the longest fight they had in sixth year. You just wanted to walk up too them both and slap them and say ' Wake up! See what is in front of you!' Not that it would've worked. Both are stubborn and full of pride," here Ginny gave a small smile, "But look at them now. Mature, accomplished adults… finally pushed the pride and stubbornness away and admitted that they should be together as one. Hermione, Ron… you are my bestfriends. And this past year you really have both been there for more through everything. I love you both so, so much and I want you to know that I will always be here for you whenever you need me. I truly wish you both the best in life and know you will fulfil everything together. Congratulations Mr and Mrs Weasley!"

Ginny smiled and wiped the tears away from her eyes and sat down, smiling in between little sobs. After that, Arthur and Mr Granger gave speeches about their children, embarrassing them with little stories. Then the first dance came on with Ron and Hermione's song being It's Gonna Be Love by Mandy Moore.

Ginny smiled at Harry as they watched the happy couple dancing together, with Hermione resting her head on Ron's shoulder.

Soon other couple's joined them. Harry walked over to Ginny and took hold of her hand and led her to the dance floor. Ginny stepped in a small circle with Harry, looking him in the eyes before he kissed her softly and tenderly.

It's gonna be sad
It's gonna be true
It's gonna be me baby
It's gonna be you baby

When the song ended Ginny and Harry broke apart smiling. As Harry opened his mouth to say something a scream came from somewhere in the tent. Everyone fell silent as they whirled around to see Fluer standing at her seat, a puddle of water at her feet.

"She's having the baby!" cried Bill running over to his wife, "Mum! Fluer is having the baby!"

"Quickly Bill," said Molly running over to her, "Let's get her back to the house!"

"Everyone stay here and keep… dancing," said Bill holding his heavily breathing wife, "We'll let you know the news."

"Ginny, you are coming," said Fluer, "Ve want you to be the god mother."

Ginny's mouth fell open but she apperated as they did and was at the Burrow in a spilt second. She ran up stairs and quickly changed into an old set of robes and removed all of her jewellery.

She then ran down stairs, where a large bed had been conjured up. She knelt beside her mother doing whatever she said.

For four long hours, Fluer huffed and puffed, but never cursed at Bill or lost her temper. She managed to remain calm throughout it.

"Okay… Fluer on the next contraction I want you to push really hard," said Molly, "Okay?"

"I understand," said Fluer, "It is coming!"

"Push Fluer, push!"

Fluer, finally screamed and her cheeks went red from the effort as she pushed with all of her strength. Finally a baby's scream filled the room, with Fluer sobbing happily. Ginny grinned, looking at the tiny baby in it's grandmother's arms.

"You have a baby boy," said Molly as Bill cut the cord, "A healthy baby boy."

Fluer took hold of her son and Bill settled down beside her smiling at their creation.

"Do you have a name?" asked Ginny softly.

"Sebastian Tate Weasley," said Bill softly.

Molly and Ginny smiled.

"I should go tell everyone," said Ginny pulling her wand out and changing her outfit to the dress again. She left with a crack and upon her arrival everyone went quiet.

"Bill and Fluer are now the proud parents of," said Ginny pausing for effect, "Sebastian Tate Weasley."

"It's a boy!" cried Charlie happily, before everyone began talking excitedly.

Ginny smiled and Harry made his way towards her, "Can we talk, alone?"

Ginny nodded and Harry led Ginny out of the tent and through the field a bit till they were away from the noise.

"Some night, huh?" said Ginny as Harry fell silent, "A wedding and the birth of Sebastian."

"Yeah… big night," said Harry his hand fidgeting in his pocket.

"You okay?" asked Ginny frowning, "You seem real fidgety."

Harry laughed a little before turning to Ginny and taking hold of her hands, "I love you Gin."

"I love you too, Harry," answered Ginny frowning.

"You have no doubts about us, do you?"

"No…"

"Okay… good," said Harry as he slowly knelt to the ground, "Ginevra Molly Weasley… will you marry me?"

Ginny's mouth fell open and she nodded happily. Harry reached into his pocket and pulled out a silver ring with a red circle ruby in the middle and two white diamonds on either side. He slipped it onto her finger and hugged Ginny tightly.

"I love you so much," whispered Ginny.

"I love you to Ginny," said Harry kissing her gently on the lips.

With a smile the couple turned and headed back to the tent to continue the celebrations and life together as one.
