Chapter 4 - A Talk with Ginny and A Joyous Event
As the days of August slowly passed by, the Burrow became full of different family members.
The first to arrive was Fleur's parents and her sister Gabrielle who were sleeping in Percy's old room until Gabrielle made a fuss and was moved into Ginny's room with Ginny and Hermione.
Then Charlie arrived and last but not least Fred and George arrived a couple of days before the wedding.
On the morning of the wedding Mrs Weasley woke everyone up bright and early and told them to go into the kitchen.
When they were assembled in the kitchen Mrs Weasley spoke to everyone.
"Right I want no funny business you lot. That includes Charlie, keeping an eye on Bill, Fred and George doing no pranks and no teasing your sister. Harry, Ron and Hermione, no disappearing acts please and Ginny, please can we have no fights between you and any of your brothers or Harry or Gabrielle and Fleur."
Everyone nodded and stood up to leave.
"Come on Fleur, Ginny and Gabrielle. We're going to start getting ready. It'll take time to do your hair and to get you into your dresses," Mrs Weasley announced before leaving the kitchen with Fleur's mother, Fleur and Gabrielle.
Ginny rolled her eyes before getting up from the table.
"Oh great. I get to have lots of fun with Phlegm and darling Gabrielle all day. I get to listen to Phlegm say 'oh Ginny you look absolutely wonderful. Eet ees a pleasure to 'ave you as a bridesmaid'," Ginny muttered as she left the kitchen.
Harry looked at Ron and shrugged before asking if he wanted to go and play Quidditch.
As the day wore on, Mrs Weasley made Harry and Ron do all sorts of things around the Burrow.
First they had to degnome the garden then they had to make the garden ready for when the guests arrived.
While they did this they talked about the upcoming wedding.
"How are they doing the wedding?" Harry asked.
"For some strange reason Fleur is making Ginny and Gabrielle wear Muggle dresses because she wanted to and they're using Muggle vows as well as the traditional soul binding ceremony," Ron replied.
Harry nodded along not really knowing what Ron was going on about.
Suddenly Mrs Weasley shouted for them to come in and start getting ready for the wedding.
Once they were ready, Harry and Ron slowly went downstairs feeling rather uncomfortable in their Muggle suits.
When they reached the kitchen, Mrs Weasley ushered them over to where Bill, Charlie, Fred and George were standing.
Harry quickly looked around the kitchen and saw Hermione talking to Mrs Weasley but there was no sign of Ginny anywhere.
"Hey Ron? Where's your sister?" he asked.
"Dunno. Probably upstairs in her room with Fleur and Gabrielle. Right now she's probably wearing a hideous gold dress," Ron replied.
Harry nodded and looked back at the stairs.
He saw a pair of feet coming down the stairs that he recognised all too well.
Harry looked up to see Ginny walking down the stairs in a spectacular figure hugging, floor length gold dress.
She found her mother and pulled her aside out of earshot.
"Mum, Fleur is beside herself. She's upstairs crying," Ginny said quietly.
Ginny quickly looked at Bill then added, "she's even said that she can't go through with the wedding. Mum you have to come and fix it!"
Mrs Weasley nodded and hurried out of the kitchen while Ginny looked over at Harry quickly before running out of the room herself.
After Mrs Weasley had been gone for about half an hour she reappeared in the kitchen smiling.
"Come on then. What are you all waiting for? You should be outside by now," Mrs Weasley shouted.
Everyone went outside and sat down while Bill and Charlie stood near the end of the aisle where the ceremony was going to take place.
Suddenly the wedding march started playing and everyone stood up while Gabrielle came down the aisle wearing a looser version of the dress that Ginny was wearing.
She was followed by Ginny and both were holding a small bouquet of cream flowers.
As Ginny and Gabrielle reached the end of the aisle, Fleur started walking down it wearing a cream wedding dress, holding a bigger bouquet and her father's arm.
She too reached the end of the aisle and the music stopped playing.
Her father shook Bill's hand then stood behind Fleur.
The officiator looked at Fleur and smiled.
He then looked up at the guests and slowly started to speak.
"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to join together this man and this woman in matrimony. Therefore if any person here present can show any just cause, why these two persons may not be joined together, speak now or forever hold your peace," the officiator said.
No one spoke and the officiator smiled again.
"Who gives this woman to be married to this man?"
"I do," Fleur's father said as he placed Fleur's right hand on Bill's before going to sit next to Fleur's mother.
The officiator looked at Bill.
"Do you take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife? Will you love her, comfort her, honour and keep her, in sickness and in health; and forsaking all others, for as long as you both shall live?"
"I do," Bill replied.
The officiator then looked at Fleur and said, "do you take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband? Will you love him, comfort him, honour and keep him, in sickness and in health; forsaking all others, for as long as you both shall live?"
"I do," Fleur replied.
Bill and Fleur then faced each other ready to take their vows.
"Please repeat after me," the officiator said to Bill.
"I, William Arthur Weasley, take thee Fleur Delacour to be my wedded wife."
Bill repeated this and looked at the officiator for the next part.
"To have and to hold from this day forward, for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherise, till death do us part."
Bill repeated this as well and the officiator repeated it for Fleur to say.
"I, Fleur Delacour, take thee William Arthur Weasley to be my wedded 'usband, to 'ave and to 'old from zis day forward, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in 'ealth, to love and to cherish, till death do us part."
The officiator took the rings from Charlie and gave Fleur's ring to Bill.
He slid it onto Fleur's ring finger while saying, "with this ring I thee wed, and with my body I thee honour and with all my worldly goods I thee endow."
Fleur then took Bill's ring and slid it onto Bill's ring finger while saying, "with zis ring I thee wed, and with my body I thee 'onour and with all my worldly goods I thee endow."
They then had to hold hands while the officiator waved his wand over them and muttered a spell that bound their souls together.
"I now pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss your bride."
Bill kissed Fleur while everyone clapped and Mrs Weasley cried then headed off to the reception.
Once all of the speeches had been said at the reception, all of the guests were able to mingle with each other and the bride and groom and eat the food that Mrs Weasley had set out on a table in the kitchen.
Among the guests were Remus Lupin and Nymphadora Tonks who preferred everyone to call her Tonks.
They were at the moment trying to find Harry so that they could talk to him.
"I wonder where he could be Remus. Surely Molly wouldn't let him out of her sight, not with all the Death Eater attacks going on," Tonks said whilst worrying.
"I don't know. Maybe he's with Ron, Hermione and Ginny. Him and Ginny might have gone for a walk. I doubt they get any time for themselves here," Remus replied.
Tonks shook her head.
"They're not together anymore. Harry broke up with Ginny at Dumbledore's funeral," she told him.
They carried on walking round the garden and eventually found Harry sat alone under a tree.
Tonks told Remus to stay where he was as she would talk to Harry.
"Wotcher Harry," Tonks said softly.
Harry looked up at the young woman with bubblegum pink hair and smiled slightly.
"I was wondering how long it would take someone to find me."
"What are you doing on your own? Why are you not with Ron and Hermione? I thought you three were inseperable," Tonks asked.
"Because they're with Ginny and I need to stay as far away from her as possible so I don't do something stupid," Harry explained.
Tonks nodded as Harry said this.
"I'll leave you alone then. I only came to find you to say that you are going to have extra defence lessons with me and Remus when you're back at Hogwarts. Oh and also maybe it would be best to talk to Ginny about your feelings and what went on between you two rather than brooding over it," Tonks explained.
Once she had walked away from Harry, he leant back against a tree and thought about Ginny.
He knew that Tonks had been right in saying what she said and perhaps he really should talk to Ginny before things got out of hand.
Maybe then they could get their friendship sorted rather than having no friendship at all.
After all that kiss during the game of truth or dare really hadn't solved anything, it just made Harry like Ginny even more.
Harry sighed, got up then walked to where Ginny was stood with Ron and Hermione.
"Ginny, could I talk to you please?" Harry asked feeling uneasy.
Ginny looked at Harry and replied, "Um sure."
Ginny followed Harry to the tree that he had been sitting under a few moments previously.
They sat down on the grass and Ginny looked at Harry expectantly.
"Um so. How have you been? How's your summer been so far?" Harry asked.
"I've been feeling pretty crap. When the guy of your dreams dumps you at your old Headmaster's funeral with hardly any explanation it kind of makes you feel crappy. What with that and Fleur worrying about anything and everything since I got home and not being able to get you out of my head, my summer hasn't been very good," Ginny explained.
"Oh," Harry replied.
"How has yours been?"
"Dudley kept coming home drunk and Vernon tried blaming it on me. Then while I was packing Petunia came to see me and saw a picture of you. She asked who you were and said that you were pretty. I couldn't stop thinking about you either."
"What did Tonks want? I saw her and Lupin looking for you," Ginny said.
"Oh, just to tell me about some extra defence lessons and to tell me to talk to you."
Ginny nodded to show that she understood.
"How did you do in your OWLs?"
"I did well. I got nine. A few O's but the rest were A's and E's. I got made prefect as well," Ginny replied.
"Looks like I'll be bossing you around then," Harry said as he laughed.
"Yeah."
"I didn't want to go back at first. I wasn't going to go back. But it all changed when I got the Head Boy badge."
Ginny nodded again.
"Ginny, why did you say that you hated me when I first got here?"
"I was angry. I don't hate you and I never have. Sorry for saying it Harry. You know I never thought that I could miss your touch but when we did that dare I realised that in fact I had missed it. I missed it a lot," Ginny told him.
"Yeah me too. Do you think we should give our relationship another go?"
Ginny nodded and they kissed each other softly.
Once Harry pulled away they both got up and walked hand in hand back to the main party.
Mrs Weasley spotted them dancing together and she smiled at the thought of her daughter being back together with Harry.
