A/N: I'm afraid I'm not going to like this chapter at all. Don't worry, nothing bad happens, but I accidentally 'lost' this chapter and had to rewrite it and it's probably not going to be like the first one. Ugh.

Chapter 15

Welcome to the family?

Remus Lupin was about to leave for Ginny Weasley's 'waking up' party when he heard a knock at his front door. He picked up his wand from his dresser and walked cautiously to the door. He never got visitors anymore, not since all his friends had died. Therefore, he was surprised to see Harry Potter in his doorway.

"Harry?" Remus said in surprise.

"My Patronus is a stag; because dad's Animagus form was a stag. Oh, and this is Ginny, just take my word for it." Harry said as he stepped into the house dragging Ginny in with him.

"Well hello to you too." Remus said grinning.

Harry turned.

"Sorry Uncle Remus. Hi, how're you doing?"

"Me? Oh, same as always. As a matter of fact, I was just about to join the two of you at the Burrow, which makes me wonder why you're here."

Harry glanced at Ginny as she tightened her grip slightly on his hand.

"The thing is, we want to get married." Harry said.

Remus simply raised an eyebrow.

"Right now." Ginny said.

"As in tonight." Harry added.

"By you." Ginny said, just to clarify things.

"Ah." Remus said softly and closed his eyes.

Harry and Ginny glanced at each other nervously.

"I see. Knowing that I was the person who, having received the authorization to marry many years ago from Dumbledore and Fudge, could marry you, I assume that is why you came to me?"

Harry shifted nervously.

"Well, yeah. That and the fact that…well…you're my Uncle Remus, and I—I really wanted Mum and Dad to be there and seeing as how you're the only one who knows where they're buried…." Harry trailed off.

Remus paused for a moment.

"Remus, please. This is what we want. We don't need a big fancy wedding, nor do we want one. And don't try to tell me that if we just quietly announce it and wait that it will be small. This is Harry Potter getting married. It will leak out." Ginny said quietly.

Remus smiled slightly.

"Molly is going to kill me, but yes, I'll do it."

"Thanks, Uncle Remus. I knew you'd come through for me." Harry said grinning.

"Yes, yes. Now, I think you both need to grasp my arms, you don't know where you're Apparating to, and I think it best if we hurry before they start to send search parties."

OoOoOoOoO

They landed in a small quiet graveyard in a deserted looking area.

"Is this a wizard graveyard?" Ginny asked Remus interestedly as she looked around.

"It is. As you may have noticed, there aren't many graves, the main reason being that most witches or wizards die in a big bang or puff of smoke and, well, simply disappear."

Harry, who hadn't been listening at all, but roaming through the small yard looking at various stones, called Remus and Ginny over to where he was standing.

"Are these Mum and Dad's?" He asked, pointing to two statues, one a stag and the other a unicorn.

"Yes." Remus said, coming closer. "They are indeed. I thought they were most fitting." He smiled sadly.

"I understand the stag, but why the unicorn? Mrs. Potter wasn't an Animagus was she?" Ginny asked.

Remus laughed.

"Lily? No, James refused to let her become one. Oh, the fights they used to have over that. No, her Patronus was a rather magnificent unicorn."

"I didn't know that." Harry said, looking sad. "But then, I suppose there are loads of things I don't know about them."

Remus and Ginny didn't quite know how to respond to that, so they stood there awkwardly for a few moments until Harry looked up and smiled.

"I'm sorry; I'm getting all sentimental on the two of you. Let's hurry along, though. Remus is right; the search parties won't be far off." He said jokingly.

Remus smiled and took his wand out of his pocket.

"Right you are, Harry. Now, a wizarding wedding ceremony is rather special. There is a spell called the Unbreakable Vow. What this Vow does, is basically bond the two of you together eternally, and if either of you break it, you die."

Ginny and Harry looked rather startled at this but said nothing. Remus smiled.

"Now, the two of you grasp hands, and listen very closely to what I say to you."

He paused for a moment while Ginny and Harry held hands, and then placed the tip of his wand over their hands.

"Harry, will you have Ginny as your wife?"

"I will."

A flicker of light shot out of the wand.

"Will you love her, honor her, and keep her safe as long as you live?"
"I will."

A slightly stronger flicker of light shot out.

"Ginny, will you have Harry as your husband?"

"I will."

A stream of golden light shot out of the wand and wrapped itself around their joined hands.

"Will you love him, honor him, and, to the very best of your ability, try to keep him safe as long as you live?"

"I will."

Another stream of light flew out of the wand.

"Having agreed to these conditions, I now pronounce you husband and wife. Will you accept these terms?"

"I will." Harry and Ginny said in unison.

Ginny gasped as a blast of blinding golden light streamed from Remus's wand, knocking down not only Ginny and Harry, but Remus as well.

"What," Harry gasped as he got to his feet, helping Ginny up with him, "was that?"

"That, Harry," Remus said, getting to his own feet, "was the strength of your magical power and love. And I am never coming near the two of you with a wand again."

Harry grinned.

"Aw, now Uncle Remus, that's not fair. We can't help that we're stronger than you."

"Careful, Harry, I might just tell Molly that the two of you held me hostage and forced me to marry you."

Harry shut his mouth.

"Come, now, it won't be that bad." Ginny said patiently, grabbing her husband's arm and Apparating to her home.

OoOoOoOoOoO

Harry and Ginny waited in the yard for Remus, and as soon as he landed, began walking toward the house.

"Ginny, please, can't we just not tell them?" Harry pleaded.

"Harry," Ginny said severely, "This is my family. They have to know, and besides, I'm surprised at you! You can defeat the world's darkest wizard, but you're afraid to tell my family that we're married."

Remus laughed.

"Those are two completely different situations!" Harry exclaimed, "It's not like I was standing in front of Voldemort going, 'Hey Voldie, guess what! I just married your little sis and now I'm going to kill you!' And that was one on one. This is eight on one!"

"Eight on two." Ginny corrected him, "I promise I won't let them 'get' you." She laughed as she opened the door to her house and stepped in, followed by her husband and Remus.

"Shit." She whispered stopping abruptly as seven murderous stares met the three.

Harry held her hand and bent down to her ear.

"See?" He whispered.

"Look George! The two delinquents have arrived! What shall we do with them?" Fred said.

"Oh, I don't know, Fred. What do you suggest, Charlie?"

Before Charlie could say anything, Mrs. Weasley walked in from the kitchen, holding a large platter of food.

"There you are! Where have you been? We've been worried sick!" She exclaimed.

"Um, Mum…couldn't we just talk later?" Ginny asked.

"No, Ginny, I think it would be best if you just told me where you were."

Ginny paused.

"Harry and I—Harry and I went and—and we got m-married!" Ginny said and buried her face in Harry's chest, waiting.

Instant mayhem occurred. Mrs. Weasley screamed and dropped her platter, Mr. Weasley turned white and grasped the arms of his chair, and six hexes came flying at Harry. Ginny turned quickly.

"NO! NO! NO!" She screamed.

Jinxes continued to fly as Harry was forced to conjure Shield Charm after Shield Charm.

"Stupefy! Incarcerous! Petrificus Totalus!" Ginny stunned and bound her brothers until they all fell silent to the floor.

Mrs. Weasley sank into a chair.

"Ginny…Harry." She said weakly.

"Just a minute, Mum. I need to have a little chat with my dear brothers." Ginny stepped around Harry and stood over her brothers menacingly.

"Now then, I'm only going to say this once, so listen closely. Harry and I are married. We took the Vow and if you try to break us up, we'll die, but we'll see you again, because I'll kill you first. Got that?"

No one moved.

"Oopse. Sorry, okay…if you understood what I said, blink twice."

Ginny waited until she had seen six pairs of eyes blink before smiling and muttering the counter jinxes. Her brothers sat up cautiously, giving Harry murderous glares. Ginny walked over to him and he put his arm around her. Mrs. Weasley gave a small squeak, and Mr. Weasley opened his mouth to say something, but was interrupted as Hermione appeared in the doorway.

"What is going on down here?" She asked.

"Harry and I got married and my brother had a little problem with that." Ginny said smiling.

Hermione gasped.

"That's wonderful! I—" But she broke off as her face turned a delicate shade of green and she rushed off to a bathroom. Ron watched her leave with a peculiar mixture of worry and fear on his face.

"Ron, dear, is she alright?" Mrs. Weasley asked worriedly.

"I—I think so, Mum. She's been doing this ever since early this morning.

Mrs. Weasley stared silently at her son for a moment.

"I'll be right back. Arthur, why don't you go and see if you can find Tonks and tell her to come to the party tonight. Ron, Ginny, come with me." Mrs. Weasley said, and walked out of the room up to the bathroom. Bill, Charlie, Fred, George, and Percy turned to look at Harry, delighted smiles spreading across their faces.

"Uh…guys…I uh…think I'm just going to go see if—" Harry stammered backing away.

"You aren't going anywhere Harry. Not till we have a little chat." Bill said, and he and Charlie grabbed Harry by the arms and marched him outside into the broom cupboard with the other brothers following.

OoOoOoOo
