Just a perfect day ?
It was the 12th August and the sun was shining brightly through Ginny's curtains in her old bedroom at the burrow. It was the day of Ron and Hermione's wedding and the weather was perfect. In Ginny's opinion this meant the day was going be absolutely perfect. Ginny was laying Hermione's dress on her bed and making sure it was perfect , just like the day.
Suddenly , there was a knock at the door.
" Come in " shouted Ginny.
" Ginny , we have a serious problem. " said Harry " Ron has gone walk about. "
" Are you serious ? Did he say anything to you ?" asked Ginny.
" No but he left a note for Hermione. " said Harry , handing Ginny the note.
The note read :
Dear Minnie ( Ron's nickname for Hermione )
I am sorry but I cant go through with the wedding. It's not that I don't love you. Of course I do. And it's not that I don't want to marry you because I want to live with you for the rest of my life.
But I feel I'm not good enough for you. You are smart , funny , sensible , caring and absolutely gorgeous. Those are things that I am not.
I feel like I can't give you the things you want from life.
I just want you to know , that I have always loved you and I will continue to love you. I hope you meet a man that will give you everything you need.
I am so sorry .
All my love .
Love your Ronald
XxxxxxX
" Well , we have to find the git quick because he is going to marry Hermione today whether he likes it or not. They belong together , no matter what he says. " said Ginny.
" I think you should stay here , I will tell your dad and brothers and ask them to help me look for him. Just keep Hermione occupied. " Said Harry.
Ginny nodded , kissed Harry on the check and pushed him out of the door.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Harry walked downstairs to the kitchen. The whole Weasley clan were eating their breakfast round the table.
" Oh , Harry would you like some breakfast ? " asked Mrs Weasley.
" No I'm ok , I just need to talk to Mr Weasley. " replied Harry , " can I talk to you for a minute please ?" he said looking at Mr Weasley.
" Of course. " said Mr Weasley.
They walked into the living room. They sat down in opposite arm chairs.
" Well , Ron has gone walk about " said Harry, getting to the point quickly , " I was wondering if you and the rest can help me find him . He left note but it didn't tell me where he's gone "
Harry handed Mr Weasley the note. He quickly read it.
" OK , you go and check your Quidditch ground , I'll get the others to check Hogwarts, Diagon alley and Hogsmeade. I can't think of anywhere else he can be." Ordered Mr Weasley.
With that Harry apparated out of the burrow.
" Gin , have the flowers arrived ? oh and is garden being decorated ? " asked Hermione , as Ginny was doing her hair.
" Yes Hermione , everything is fine. The guys have everything in order , with a little bossing from the girls. " replied Ginny.
But in her mind she knew everything wasn't fine. Ron was missing and a wedding technically can't go on without the groom. She hadn't heard anything from Harry or the others. She really hoped they found him and persuaded him to come home.
" Am I doing the right thing Ginny ? I mean , am I enough for Ron ? Does he need more ? " asked Hermione.
" Hermione , I bet he thinks your too good for him. So no second thoughts from you , future Mrs Weasley. " Ginny said , sternly.
" You really think so ? " said Hermione.
" Yes , now just be quiet and stay relaxed. " ordered Ginny .
Suddenly there was a knock at the door. Ginny put her wand down and went to open it.
Standing at the door was Bill. He looked like he was about to bring bad news. Ginny stepped outside of her bedroom and closed the door behind her.
" Can't you find him ?" she asked.
" No , we have looked everywhere we can think of. We have looked in Diagon alley , Hogsmeade , Hogwarts and Harry and Ron's Quidditch pitch. Can you think of anywhere else ? " Bill asked.
" Um .. has anyone looked where Ron asked Hermione to marry him ? " Ginny said.
" No , none of know where that is. " replied Bill.
" Well , I do. Get Harry to keep Hermione occupied and get Fleur to finish Hermione's hair and make up. I'm going to find the world's biggest git. " Said Ginny.
Bill went downstairs to tell everyone what was going on. And Ginny apparated out of the burrow.
. She spotted Ron sitting on the bridge over the tiny stream. She walked over sat next to him. They stayed silent for a few minutes.
" Lovely day isn't it ? " said Ron.
" Yes , it is. You know Hermione thinks she isn't good enough for you. And here you are thinking that you aren't good enough for her. This just proves your suppose to be together." Stated Ginny.
" I don't deserve someone like her. She is just so much better at everything than me . I am completely useless and all I'm for is making people laugh and good at Quidditch. " said Ron , standing up an walking to the other side of the bridge.
Ginny got up and joined him.
" Have you ever thought that maybe those are the things she loves about you ? I bet she loves you because you are kind , caring , protective , though a bit too much sometimes, you are also very brave. And everything she wants. So why don't you go home , tell her what your feeling and then become her husband." Said Ginny.
" But .. but she will be mad at me and then she probably won't want to marry me." Said Ron
" Don't be so stupid. Just go home and tell her. For Hermione . She deserves that." Replied Ginny.
"You know , what your right." Ron said.
Ginny smiled and gave her big brother a hug and kissed his check.
They both apparated to the burrow.
…………………………………………………………………………………………..
Meanwhile , at the burrow Hermione was asking too many questions.
" Harry , where is Ginny? " asked Hermione , for the fifth time.
"She is just downstairs. She's making sure everything is perfect." Lied Harry for the fifth time.
Harry wished Ginny would hurry up. Hermione was already in her dress and her hair and make up was done. The wedding was due to start in half an hour .
Ron is the biggest git I have ever known. I thought he wasn't haven't second thoughts, Harry thought.
The one thing that surprised Harry was how gullible Hermione was. Harry had told her numerous lies that day already.
Suddenly , there was a knock at the door. Harry went and opened it. Standing on the other side was Ginny with Ron. Harry stepped out of the room.
" Where have you been ?" Harry rounded on Ron.
" Don't start , Harry. I'm going to marry Hermione today but first I need to speak to her." Said Ron.
Ginny walked around Harry and went into her bedroom.
" Hermione put your dressing gown , someone wants to talk to you." Said Ginny.
She back out onto the landing.
"Go in then." Ginny said to Ron.
Ron went in and Harry and Ginny stayed on the landing. There was a comfortable silence for five minutes. Then Ginny had enough of the silence and decided to break it.
"Is Hermione's hair and make up done ?" asked Ginny.
"yeah , fleur did it. " Replied Harry.
That moment Charlie came up the stairs. Ginny , who hadn't seen him in months , ran and gave him a huge hug.
" Charlie , you ok ? " she asked still holding on to her older brother.
" I'm fine , but mum won't be if you don't get changed soon. " said Charlie.
" Oh I forgot about that. " Ginny said , walking into her old bedroom and then came back out with her dress. She went into the bathroom to change.
Ginny hastily changed into her dress. She conjured her make up. She quickly applied it and then she magically put her hair into big , bouncy ringlets. She checked herself in the mirror. She put her hand over her abdomen. She still couldn't believe there were three little people growing inside her.
She walked out of the bathroom. Harry was still standing outside the room Ron and Hermione were in.
" Their not out yet?" she asked.
" Nope , we might to put the wedding off for half an hour." Said Harry. He then got down on one knee in front of Ginny. " Gin , would you do me the honour in be…. "
At that moment, Ron walked out of the room with a huge smile on his face.
" Why are you standing out here ? We have wedding to start." Ron said happily. He walked downstairs.
Ginny stared down at Harry.
"Carry on" prompted Ginny.
"It doesn't matter, I'll ask you later." Replied Harry, he stood up , planted a kiss on Ginny's check and walked downstairs.
Ginny knew exactly what Harry was going to say and just hoped he did ask her later. She walked in her old bedroom and saw Hermione re-doing her make up.
" Hey Mione. You ok ?" asked Ginny , sitting on the bed next to the window.
"I'm great , Ron and I had a talk about how nervous we both are and that we are great for each other. Well , we better get out there. Can you look out of the window to see if their ready?" asked Hermione.
Ginny looked outside and saw Ron waiting under the canopy at the end of the aisle with Harry standing next to him. Ginny caught Harry's eye and he gave her a nod. She knew that meant they were ready.
" Yeah , their ready. Lets go get you married." Said Ginny , handing Hermione her flowers.
They both walked downstairs. In the kitchen ,Fleur, Katie , Angelina , Sarah , Millie and Hermione's parents were waiting. Mr and Mrs Granger took each one of Hermione's arms. They headed for the door. Sarah and Millie walked in front on them with their little flower baskets. Ginny stood behind Hermione , Katie behind Ginny and Fleur and Angelina behind Katie.
Sarah and Millie starting walking out of the door. The second they started to walk , music magically starting playing. Hermione walked out into the garden. Ginny followed and as she enter the garden she caught Harry's eye for the second time that day. He mouthed the words 'I love you'. Ginny mouthed back ' I love you too'.
Hermione was now at the canopy , she was saying bye to her parents. Ginny took her flowers and sat on the left side of the aisle.
" We are here today to unite Ronald Billus Weasley and Hermione Jane Granger together in holy matrimony" started the magically priest, " They have prepared their own vows. Ron why don't you start."
Ron took out a piece of paper out of his pocket. He ripped in lots of tiny pieces and threw it up in the air.
"I don't need it. What I want to tell you will come from my heart. I have always thought I wasn't good enough for you and that you deserved better than me. And I still think that. But you obviously don't because if you did then you wouldn't be marrying me. The minute I lay eyes on you , on the train 10 years ago , I immediately fell in love with you. I saw that you were kind , caring , smart and a little bossy." He got a little laugh from that. "I just want you to know that I don't know what I would do without you and I have always loved you and I will love you for the rest my life." Finished Ron.
Hermione had tears pouring down her face ruining her make up in the process. Ginny handed her a tissue and her vows. Hermione gave the vows back to her.
" Hermione your turn." Said the priest.
"Well first of all , why did you make cry on our wedding day? And secondly , that was the nicest and sweetest thing I have ever heard. You are the best thing I could wish for. You're the one who is too good for me and I don't deserve better because I already have the best. Ever since I told you had dirt on your nose , I knew you were the one. You are my everything. I want you to know you are everything a girl could ask for and more. I have always loved you and I will continue to love until my dying day and beyond." Hermione said.
It was now Ron's turn to cry.
"Who has the rings?" asked the priest.
" I have" said Harry , passing the rings to the priest.
The priest put the rings on the book he was holding.
" Ron , would you please take the ring for Hermione and place it on her left hand. And Hermione , would you do the same." He said.
Ron took the ring off the book a placed on Hermione's ring finger on her left hand. Hermione did the same with Ron's ring.
"Ronald Billus Weasley , do you take Hermione Jane Granger to be your lawfully wedded wife ?" the priest asked Ron.
"I do" replied Ron.
"And do you, Hermione Jane Granger , take Ronald Billus Weasley to be your lawfully wedded husband?" the priest asked Hermione.
"I do" replied Hermione.
"Please join hands." Commanded the priest.
Hermione and Ron joined hands. The priest put his wand to their hands.
He whispered "redimio una forever" ( A/N: that means 'binding together forever' in latin, well I think it does). Green sparks came out the wand and wrapped around their hands.
"I now pronounce you wizard and wife" said the priest. (A/N : lol , Wizard and wife that makes me laugh ! ) " You may kiss the bride"
Hermione and Ron kissed deeply. Everyone cheer and clapped.
Ginny walked over to Harry and hugged his waist. Harry put a arm around her shoulders. Hermione and Ron walked back down the aisle arm in arm. Harry and Ginny followed. Everyone else stayed in the garden to help get ready for the reception party.
Ron , Hermione , Ginny and Harry walked into the kitchen. Ginny got everyone a drink. She sat at the table with everyone else.
" So everything is ok with you two ?" asked Harry. Ginny whacked his shoulder.
" That was a stupid question. Of course everything is ok." Said Ginny.
Hermione and Ron laughed.
"By the way , Hermione , you look gorgeous." Added Harry.
"thank you Harry." Said Hermione , blushing.
"I think we better go outside." Said Ron , for the first time they had been inside.
Ginny and Harry went outside first. Hermione and Ron followed them.
Everybody cheered and clapped again. Ron and Hermione went round to everyone. Ginny and Harry went and sat at the head table.
The garden was filled with talking , laughing and a happy atmosphere.
The stage at the back of the garden suddenly lit up and a band walked on the stage. Harry assumed this was Mcfly.
" Good afternoon everyone. Don't you think it's about time the newly married couple had their first dance as husband and wife." Said the middle guy of the three guitarists.
Everyone shouted yes. Ron took Hermione's hand and lead her to the dance floor.
The music started to play. Hermione rested her head on Ron's shoulder and Ron put his arms around her waist.
It's all about you
( It's about you)
It's all about you, baby
( It's all about you)
It's all about you
( It's about you)
It's all about you
Slowly , more couples started to join the dance floor. Ginny and Harry danced near Hermione and Ron.
Yesterday, you asked me something I thought you knew.
So I told you with a smile 'It's all about you'
Then you whispered in my ear and you told me to,
Say 'If you make my life worthwhile, it's all about you'
And I would answer all you're wishes, if you asked me to.
But if you deny me one of your kisses, don't know what I'd do.
So hold me close and say three words, like you used to do.
Dancing on the kitchen tops, it's all about you.
Yeah...
Then the guy who introduced the first dance did a solo.
And I would answer all you're wishes, if you asked me to.
But if you deny me one of your kisses, don't know what I'd do.
So hold me close and say three words, like you used to do.
Dancing on the kitchen tops,
Yes you make my life worthwhile,
So I told you with a smile...
It's all about you.
It's all about you
(It's about you)
It's all about you, baby
(It's all about you)
It's all about you
(It's about you)
It's all about you
The song had finished and they started the next song. Hermione , Ron , Harry and Ginny sat down. The band continued to play music until the food arrived half an hour later. Music was played magically into the garden.
Everyone enjoyed their meal. It was now time for speeches. Hermione's dad went first. He went up on the stage and stood in front of the microphone.
" Well , what can I say ? I have just lost my only daughter and only child. But I have lost her to the best man possible. I know Ron will look after my baby and care for her. I just wish you the best. To Hermione and Ron." He said. Everyone raised their glasses and toasted Hermione and Ron.
Next it was Mr Weasley's turn. Harry took Ginny's hand and lead over to the pond in the back garden. Nobody notice that they had slipped away.
"Ginny , I have been meaning to ask you this for ages now and it can't wait any longer.. " said Harry , but he was interrupted by Ron's voice through the microphone.
"Where is my best man?" his voice boomed over the garden.
"Dam this, come with me , Gin." Said Harry, dragging Ginny to the stage.
"Harry what are you doing?" asked Ginny.
"You will soon find out" was Harry's reply.
"Evening ladies and Gentleman. Before I get to my speech I have a very special question to ask Ginny." Said Harry into the microphone. He then got down on one knee and took a ring box out of his pocket.
"Ginerva Molly Weasley , would you do me the honour in becoming my wife ?" Said Harry. He held his breath , waiting for Ginny's answer.
"Do you know how long I have been waiting to hear that? Of course I will marry you , you great big idiot." Replied Ginny.
The garden erupted into cheers.
"So , are you going to give us a speech or what?" shouted Fred.
"Oh yeah , Well I have known Ron and Hermione for 10 years. And for those 10 years all they did was argue. I can guarantee that they will argue for the rest of their lives. But would we have them any other way? I just hope me and Ginny are half as happy as you too because what you have is real. To Hermione and Ron!" shouted Harry through the microphone.
Hermione and Ron made their way to the stage. Before they got there , Ginny moved Harry out of the way so she could get the microphone.
"I know this Hermione and Ron's special day but I have one thing to say. In seven months time there will be three additions to the Weasley family. Me and Harry are expecting triplets." Said Ginny.
Everyone cheered again.
Ron then did a little speech and everyone went back to chatting.
Fifteen minutes the band was back. They started singing songs that they were asked to play.
Hermione , Ron , Harry and Ginny were sitting at the main table. They were talking about the things that had happened on the stage.
"So , are you Mrs Granger-Weasley or Mrs Weasley ?" Ginny asked Hermione.
"I am Mrs Weasley. I'm married now , so that means I have leave my maiden name behind." Replied Hermione.
At that moment, Mr and Mrs Granger and Mr and Mrs Weasley came over. Mr Granger asked Hermione to dance , Mrs Granger asked Ron , Mr Weasley asked Ginny and Mrs Weasley asked Harry.
They all walked out on the danced floor. The song was fairly upbeat song.
I used to think maybe you love me, now baby I'm sure
And I just cant wait till the day, when you knock on my door
Now every time I go for the mail box, gotta hold myself down
'cos I just cant wait till you write me, you're coming around
Ginny was spun round by her dad. She had always loved this song.
"So , I'm going to be a grandfather ?" he asked her.
She nodded.
"I'm not mad at you. I'm just so glad your finally making me a grandfather again." Said Mr Weasley. Ginny laughed and her dad spun her round again.
I'm walking on sunshine (whoa oh)
I'm walking on sunshine (whoa oh)
I'm walking on sunshine (whoa oh)
And don't it feel good
And don't it feel good
Hermione and her dad were dancing quite slow compared to the speed of the song.
"I am so proud of you MiMi. You have a great job , great friends and now a great husband. When can I expect great grandchildren?" Hermione's dad whispered in her ear.
"Not soon , that's for certain." Replied Hermione.
Hermione's dad spun her away from him and back. Their dance then quickened in speed.
I used to think maybe you love me, I know that it's true
I don't wanna spend my whole life just waiting for you
I don't want you back for the weekend, not back for a day
Baby I just want you back and I want you to stay
I'm walking on sunshine (whoa oh)
I'm walking on sunshine (whoa oh)
I'm walking on sunshine (whoa oh)
And don't it feel good
And don't it feel good
Harry was continuously spinning Mrs Weasley. He was really enjoying himself.
"Mrs Weasley , are you mad at me for getting Ginny pregnant ?" he asked.
"No , I'm not. Do you want to know a secret ?" she asked back.
Harry nodded.
"Me and Arthur weren't married when I fell pregnant with Bill. So I have no reason to be mad." Said Mrs Weasley.
This made Harry feel a lot better. They continued to dance.
I feel alive, I feel a love, I feel a love that's really real
I feel alive, I feel a love, I feel a love that's really real
I'm walking on sunshine (whoa oh)
I'm walking on sunshine (whoa oh)
I'm walking on sunshine (whoa oh)
And don't it feel good
And don't it feel good
"Mrs Granger , I was once told , to find what a girl looks when she is older , just look at her mother. When I look at you I know Hermione is going to completely gorgeous." Ron complimented Mrs Granger.
Mrs Granger blushed lightly.
"Hermione is one lucky girl." Commented Mrs Granger.
I'm walking on sunshine (whoa oh)
I'm walking on sunshine (whoa oh)
I'm walking on sunshine (whoa oh)
And don't it feel good
And don't it feel good
The song finished and they all went back to the table.
The party ended at 1 in the morning and everyone had a great time.
……………………………………………………………………………………………….
The next morning , Ron and Hermione were off on their honeymoon to Australia.
"Well , we have everything packed and we're all ready to go." Said Ron.
"Well you better get going then." Said Bill.
The whole Weasley gang was there to say goodbye to Hermione and Ron.
"Well , bye everyone." Hermione and Ron said together. They gave everyone a hug. Before they left they took Ginny and Harry over to one side.
"Look , now that you two are expecting company in seven months. We have bought house not that far from you. We thought we could all do with the extra room. So while we're away decorate our bedroom how ever you want. All our stuff is out of there and in the new house." Said Hermione.
"Are you sure ?" asked Ginny.
"Yes , now don't argue because we are not going to back down" said Ron.
"Thanks guys." Harry said.
Ron and Hermione left for their honeymoon. Harry and Ginny were asked to watch Fred and Angelina's twins for the afternoon.
They had a busy afternoon in store for them. That was for certain !
