Chapter
8: The wedding
September 6- 10:24 P.M. - Harry
Today
has been one of those days that just are one thing after another. I
woke up this morning to a nibble on my lip. I thought it was Ginny so
I leaned in to kiss it and I felt something hard pressed against my
lips, so I opened my eyes and I was KISSING MY OWL! It wasn't Arnold,
It wasn't Hermes, It wasn't Errol's corpse-like body, it wasn't
Crookshanks, IT WAS HEDWIG! Hedwig had flown in with a letter to give
me and she always nibbles on my lip of my fingers are covered (which
they were) before nibbling on a very sensitive area. I can't believe
I thought my owl was my fiancee. Well, anyhow when I went to go read
the letter and it was from Hagrid announcing his marriage to Olympe.
They eloped last week and want for me to attend the reception
tomorrow. Well, around say noon Hagrid and Olympe showed up to get
our responses at lunch and they sat down with Me, Hermione, The
Weasleys, Bill and Fleur. I was sitting beside Ginny, who was beside
Hermione, who sat across from Ron, who was beside Bill, who was
beside Fluer, who was beside Olympe, who was beside Hagrid, who was
across from Mr. and Mrs. Weasley. Well, Hagrid asked Ginny to pass
the mashed potatoes and saw the ring sparkle on her freshly manicured
finger (she got a manicure with Hermione last week) then he asked,
"Ginny, who gave yeh tha' beau'iful ring?"
"Well,"
Ginny replied," Harry did."
"
How sweet o' him. But why are yeh wearin' it on yer ring finger? Yeh aren't getting married yet now are yer?"
G
inny
blushed then said, "Well, yes Hagrid. I am. Harry and I are
engaged."
The clinking of silverware stopped. Pleasant
chatter stopped. Everyone looked at Hagrid. Tears the size of fists
came to his eyes as Madame Maxime ...or should I call her
Mademoiselle Hagrid now. Anyway, Hagrid's wife put her arm around him
and said something then set off to get some whiskey.
"
Yer really are gettin married. But yer so young. What about Hogwarts. Yeh might find someone else."
"
Hagrid," I told him "We are going to be married in like a year or two. Don't worry. We will be living in a couples' dorm and we will talk everything out. We,"I said as I wrapped my arm around Ginny's waist then continued," Have had every question like this possible come to our minds. Thanks for your concern though." Hagrid stood up as The former Madame Maxime Lady came in and said
" 'Agreed, zee 'orses are getting restless. Ve need to be going. Thank you for your
shelter. See you tomorrow."
"See ye all late'. Good luck Harry and Ginny." Hagrid said as he stood up and joined his wife. Together they left the Burrow.
The meal was eaten the rest of the way in silence and then I squeezed Ginny's waist (my arm was still around it) and whispered in her ear, "I need to talk to you."
She smiled and said, "Ok. Mum, may I please leave?"
"I guess."
"Er.
Can I be excused too, Mrs. Weasley?"
"Harry dear, you hardly touched your-" she was cut of my noticing a very dirty look everyone except myself was throwing at her,"Ok, you may go Harry." Ginny and I stood up and began to go upstairs when we heard Fred saying
"Mum. Why did you let them go upstairs ALONE? They are engaged, their mind isn't on food it is on...Well, Harry's is probably on...well, dreamish things. I am going to go to the bathroom. Hold on."
"Wash your hands when you are done dear."
"Me too." George followed and Ginny and my peaceful walk up the stairs was ended when we reached the top and had walked a little down the hall to the door of her room. We were about to enter it when the twins came springing down the hall saying
"HOLD ON!"
I asked them to please go away, Ginny and I had some "unfinished business" to attend to and then George ruined it all by saying
"Why should we leave you alone with our baby sister when we know you want to screw her until she dies from too much of it?"
"Because I don't want to." There was a loud bang as I noticed Ginny's hand wasn't on mine anymore, it was clutching her wand and she had just hexed both of her'darling' brothers in a very sincetive place. "First of all, I am not a baby anymore, I am a grown woman. Second of all, Harry is my fiancee so if we want to have sex, we'll have sex. BUT THAT ISN'T WHAT WE WERE GOING TO DO YOU ARSES!We want to talk about the wedding!" Ginny grabbed my hand and dragged me into her room. She closed the door and put a silencing charm on the walls soas no one could hear what we were talking about. "Ok Harry, so what did you want to talk about?" she asked me.
"Erm, well after all that confusion, I forgot. I know it sounds completely crazy, but it is true."
She laughed and then said, "That's ok. That's one of the things I love about you...you are so easy to make forget things," and gave me a quick kiss. "Ya know what Harry, I want to go on a date tonight." Then she opened the door to her closet and began to rummage through it. She turned around and said " Well, aren't you going to go get changed? There's a little club-like place in Diagon Alley I am finally old enough to go to, so that's where we are going. Ok? All right. Also, please send in Hermione. We got some really neat muggle clothes when I was visiting her family and I want her help to put together an outfit with them. Love ya!" She pushed me out the door and I sprinted up the stairs two at a time to Ron's room, where he and Hermione were having a fight. I cleared my throat to announce my presence and then tapped Hermione lightly on the shoulder and told her Ginny needed her assistance and she threw a dirty look at Ron before wiping her tear-filled eyes and leaving.
"What was that all about?"
"Er..nothing much. Just some...er...stuff."
"Ron, you didn't..."
"Yeah. I did/" I couldn't believe it. Ron had just did the second or third worst thing he could do to upset Hermione. He brought up Viktor Krum and Hermione's past relationship.
"Ron, How could you. If you really like her that's not something to bring up. You know how hard it is for her to remember going to surprise visit him and when she walked into his house seeing him taking the clothes off of another girl."
"I know. But she brought up Fleur. Ya know Bill and Fleur's wedding a while back. Besides tomorrow we are leaving for Hogwarts, so all will be ok."
"Ron, you prat, we leave in two days. Now, I need to get ready for my date with your sis."
"You two are going out tonight?"
"Yeah, she wants to go to the new club in Diagon Alley for teens."
"Ah. Well, you know the circumstances."
"Shut up," I said as I threw a pillow at him and pulled some freshly cleaned robes out of the trunk from which I had been living at the Weasley's house and put them on.
About fifteen minutes later Hermione came in, blushed, pushed past Ron, and came to me saying,"Harry, you might want to change in more...muggle-ish clothes. Then, Ginny will be ready for you." Ron made a gesture to talk to Hermione who raised her hand and said"Don't talk to me right now you..you..." She was cut off by Bill entering the room. "Good to see you Bill," and then she left.
"Ron what did you do this time?" He asked.
"Viktor," He mumbled.
Bill looked horror-struck then said,"Rooooooon. Don't you know, if you like a girl, then you don't bring up her past boyfriends."
"Well," I said "I need to change. I grabbed a pair of Dudley's old jeans, shrunk them to my size and grabbed a skivvy shirt and button - up red and black checked shirt, both of which were brand new and in my size. I conjured a small wall and changed behind it, threw my robes into my trunk, and said good-bye to the bickering brothers as I ran out of the room. I went downstairs, taking them three at a time. I reached the hall , ran down it, and stopped infront of Ginny's door. I put my wand in my side pocked after conjuring a bundle of white roses. I opened the door and Ginny was standing infront of the mirror on her closet door. She was wearing a denim mini skirt with fringe around the bottom and a punk tie-back copper halter top. Her shoes were chunky-bottomed lace-up copper sandals. A pair of copper earrings dangled from her ears, and a matching necklace was on her throat. Her hair was in a bun on the top of her head and was infront of the mirror dusting some bronze eyeshadow on her eyelids with a miniature blush brush. She threw it over her shoulder and it landed on her bed. She looked into the mirror and smiled. I walked behind her and placed my arm around her shoulders, the other to my side, roses in hand. She giggled and looked up at me. I looked about a head down and met her eyes. She smiled her white smile and grabbed my hand, taking it off of her shoulder.
"You ready to go? Mum says we can side along apparate since you know where Diagon Alley is. You did pass your test, right?"
"Yeah. I took it a week after my birthday. Tomorrow we are leaving so lets spend our last night outside of Hogwarts having fun."
With that we walked downstairs, without any disturbances or glances from other people, and apparated off the front porch.
Harry
Ginny
- Sept. 6 - 10:30 P.M.
Harry is so sweet. We went Dancing
at the Dragon's Wing. Then we came home and went to the closet for a
while. His hair is so easy to put your fingers through. Anyway. He
then carried me up to my room and laid me on my bed, gave me a kiss,
and left. How sweet! Well, tomorrow we are going to Hagrid's wedding
reception then to Hogwarts. Yay! Well, I need to go to sleep. Bye!
Ginny
Ron - Sept. 7 - 8:27 A.M.
Today is
Hagrid's wedding reception. I am going to wear maroon dress robes,
but this time they are boy's dress robes without frill
or the stench of my Great Aunt Tessie. We will be leaving in 10
minutes.
Hermione - Sept. 7 - 8:55
Right now I
am at Hagrids Wedding Reception. I am in lavender dress robes, Ron is
in maroon and looks rather handsome. Ginny is in green silk dress
robes and Harry in black. Hagrid and Maxime - Hagrid are in
white.
Sept. 7 - 9:00 - Author
Hermione, Harry,
Ginny and Ron sat down together at the table nearest the happy
couple. The couple stood up and led the way over to the catering. The
small crowd lined up behind them, got their main course, and ate it.
Then Hagrid and Olympe stood up after everyone ate with a monsterous
THUD and walked over to the cake, which looked dwarfed
in their shadows. Hagrid cut a piece the size of a house - elve's
fist and put it in his fingers, then put it in Olympe's open mouth.
Everyone clapped. Olympe did the same and more applause rang.
Everyone got their cake. Hagrid looked at Harry and said -
"Please make a speech- Yer the best one here for me."
Harry stood up, banging his butter knife backwards against his crystal wine- filled glass. All looked at him as he cleared his throat.
" I have a speech. I have known Hagrid since I was eleven and he came to get me from the Dursleys. He has been like a father to me. Madame Maxime Hagrid, I met when I was fourteen, and I can't imagine a better pair. I wish you two the best. Please join mein raising your glasses to the married couple." Twenty - nine glasses were raised to the air and then slowly, every one of them followed Harry in giving a small speech. Then Hagrid and Olympe went to the dance floor. "Ginny, would you like to go dance?" Harry asked Ginny, who nodded and together they walked out to the floor and Ginny put her arms around Harry's neck and his hands on her waist, and they swayed. Bill and Fleur, Katie and Fred, George and Angelina, Mr. and Mrs, Weasley, Percy and Hermes, and many other pairs walked out onto the dance floor and began to dance. Everyone accept Ron and Hermione were there.
"Ron, are you afraid to dance? Are you embarrassed to trip over your feet? Are you intimidated by the fact I might be a better dancer than you?" Hermione asked Ron.
"NO!" He responded
"Then get out there and dance!"
"But I don't have a partner!"
"Excuse me! What do I look like? Owl droppings?"
"Opps, Sorry Mione. Will you dance with me?"
"Sure."
And the couple went
out and began to waltz.
an Hour later everyone gave their best wishes to the couple and departed. Off to the Hogwarts' Express. Everyone except for Harry had to go do prefect duties, so Harry took the opportunity to write down his thoughts.
Harry-1:15 -
Sept. 7
I am on my way to Hogwarts. Ginny and Ron are
doing Prefect Duties and Hermione is doing Head Girl Duties. So, I
sent message to Luna and Neville to come join me and I am waiting for
them. I am so happy for Hagrid and Madame Maxime, hagrid, whatever
her name is. I was just thinking, this time next year, Ginny and I
will be close to our wedding day, if we aren't married already. I
know that usually school starts in September, but because of the
defeat of Voldemort, school is a month shorter. Well, Luna and
Neville are here, gotta go!
Harry
