Phoenix Chapter 4, a harry potter fanfic

CHAPTER IV

"HARRY COME ON!!!" Nixxy grabbed a hold of Harry's hand and dragged him out to the water. The tide was coming in and the waves were splashing very high. Harry started to laugh at Nixxy. She seemed care free and innocent while she splashed about in the water. She dove under the water and came back up laughing her head off. Nixxy splashed about like this for a few moments while Harry stood by the water's edge laughing at her silly game. Suddenly Nixxy turned from the ocean and to Harry. She had a very mischievous grin on her face.

"Oh no you don't!" Harry yelled at her, trying hard not to laugh. Nixxy ran toward him.

"Oh yes I do!" She jumped on him and her landed straight into the water. The waves crashed down on them as the laid in the wake. Nixxy, on top of Harry looked down at him. And he looked back at her. He suddenly realized why he could've possibly married this woman. In that very moment Harry fell in love. She got off him. When he stood Nixxy grabbed a hold of his hand and dragged him even more into the waves. And splashed him. Of course his splashed back. They ran around doing this for a little while. Always laughing, enjoying there time together. And this is how Hermione and Ron found.

"They do love each other, don't they?" Hermione asked Ron. She stared at the couple, smiling. Ron looked down at his wife. Ron knew that somewhere deep inside Harry, he loved Nixxy as much as Ron loved Hermione. No matter if he can remember her or not.

"Yeah, they do." He turned back to the couple splashing in the water. "OY!" Ron grabbed a hold of Hermione from behind and started to run for the water!

"RON PUT ME DOWN!!!" screamed Hermione. Of course….Ron didn't listen. Took her straight for the water and dove under it. Dragging Hermione down too. When they came back up, Ron had let go. He was laughing so hard that he didn't see Hermione coming to tackle him until it was too late. Harry and Nixxy stood back, and watched the couple. It was highly amusing. Ron and Hermione noticed there audience. They turned to the other couple. The same evil plots in their heads. Harry and Nixxy turned to each other and then began to run in the other direction!

"NO!!" Harry and Nixxy yelled as the other two started to chase them. Ron caught a hold of Nixxy and picked her up. Hermione tackled Harry into the water. Ron span Nixxy around a few times before thrashing into the water as well. They all laughed and played until the Sun was more than half way through the sky.

"OK OK!! Lets go in! I'm starving!" Yelled Nixxy, calling the truce of there current game, girls vs. boys.

"OO! OO! Let's go to that café we saw on our way in yesterday!" So they all went in for t-shirts and shoes. Harry looked around the rest of their suite. It was coo! There was a little living room and kitchen between them and Ron and Hermione's room. They left the suite in search for the café. Which wasn't very far at all. Although Nixxy drove them in a jeep to get there. Harry couldn't remember the last time he was in a car. They went in and ordered some random food and a few beers. It was a muggle paradise all the way. The girls said they needed to use the ladie's room.

"Man, this is great! Dude, next time you see our waiter ask him if we can get some onion rings! I love onion rings!" Ron reminded Harry of this father in the metro. But he wanted to use is time to ask Ron a few questions while they were alone.

"Man, how did we meet her?" Ron thought for a moment.

"Oh a few days after Dumbledore's funeral. She came with us to the Dursley's. Then traveled with us."

"What happened?" Ron looked some what disturbed at this question.

"Well as you can see, we won. But it was a horrible struggle to get here. We lost a few people on the way." Ron looked really sad at this.

"Who?" Ron couldn't even look at Harry this time. He talked to his hands.

"Well first we lost Percy. Too close to the Minister, really. Then after that we lost Diggle. That was a blow. We found the wand maker, but only to lose him in the battle. You know that guy they could never find after the first war? You know the one they presumed dead. Well we found him, guarding something. We lost Wood. That was horrible. Had no trouble seeing Therusals after that. Remember Cho Chang's friend? The sneak? Well Bellatrix got a hold of her. Better if she died by hornets then die by Bellatrix. Tortured to death, like the Longbottoms. We lost them too. Some how they had ended up in the final fight. Didn't see them until afterward. Although Remus swears he saw them fight proudly. Snape is gone by the way. Killed by the other side. Don't think anyone had the heart to do him in on ours. Lucius Malfoy is gone too. Good riddance to bad trash, really. But Draco is a live a kicking, along with his mum. You know? I'd never have thought I'd think Draco Malfoy I'd think good guy!"

"What?" The nearly knocked Harry out of his chair.

"Yeah. He joined us shortly after Nixxy did. Thought they'd end up married for a while before we started to watch him and Gin together. What a match! She's due in October! George and I have a bet going. I'd say girl. He says boy."

"WOW! Really? Well I guess that's great news. So umm…Did we loose anyone else?" Ron had been looking happy about Ginny and Draco that he had forgotten what had lead them to that.

"Well we did loose the Creevy brothers. They put a hell of a fight. Died like heroes! Seamus too. And Krum. A few others you wouldn't know yet."

"So of those who are still here, what are they doing now?"

"Well let's see…Dean married Lavender. The Patil twins married these guys from India. George married Katie. And Fred married Angelina. Fleur and Bill are expecting the third child. Charlie married this woman from Romania. Although you did beat him to the punch on Nixxy. Everyone thought that if she didn't marry you, she would've married him. He was and I still think is loopy for her. Although who couldn't be? Great woman you married there Harry. Great woman!"

"Ron….What is she like?" Harry felt awkward asking Ron about his own wife.

"Well I guess she is like….Well think of every woman you know in your life? Roll that up and add some more and there you have it."

"What do you mean?"

"Well she is bloody brilliant like Hermione. Some what mental like Luna, but in that good weird way. Strong minded and willed like Ginny. Strong, sturdy, and mother hen-ish like Mum. Graceful and lady like even more so than Fleur. Clumsy and funny like Tonks. Really if you take these women, put them into a pot and stir. You'd get her, mate." Harry had very little time to think about this when the girls came back.

They ate and had a good time. Afterward they went shopping for gifts. Harry and Ron felt like tag-a-longs. The girls picked out everything for everyone. There was really nothing for the guys to do but walk around enjoying the sights. After that they went back to the beach. They played some more in the beach. Around twilight they heard music.

Summertime is finally here
That old ball park man is back in gear
Out on 40 now; man I can see the lights
School's out and the night's roll in
Man, just like a long lost friend
You ain't seen in a while
You can't help but smile

"Harry dance with me!" Nixxy grabbed Harry and they started to dance. And she started to sing a long.

And it's two bare feet on the dashboard
Young love in an old Ford
Cheap shades and a tattoo and a Yoohoo bottle on the floorboard
Perfect song on the radio, sing along cause it's one we know
It's a smile, it's a kiss, it's a sip of wine
It's summertime, sweet summertime

Temperature says 93 down at the Deposit and Guarantee (meaning bank sign)
But that swimming hole, it's nice and cold
Bikini bottoms underneath, but the boy's hearts still skip a beat
When them girls shimmy off them old cut-offs

The more things change things change , the more they stay the same
Don't matter how old you are
Man, you know what I'm talkin' 'bout,
Yeah baby, when you got...

Two bare feet on the dashboard
Young love in an old Ford
Cheap shades and a tattoo and a Yoohoo bottle rollin' on the floorboard
Perfect song on the radio, sing along cause it's one we know
It's a smile, it's a kiss, it's a sip of wine
It's summertime, sweet summertime

"Come on lets go for a walk." Harry and Nixxy left Ron and Hermione dancing. They started to talk on there way down the beach. Getting to know each other all over again. This became a nightly thing. Harry couldn't remember being able to talk to someone so easily. Although from what Ron said later, Nixxy was like that to everyone. But each day Harry fell more and more in love with her. After a month everyone showed up to see them and to celebrate something big.

"Dearly beloved we gather here today to witness the union of these two people. Neville Longbottom and Luna Lovegood….." The wedding was beautiful! Mrs. Weasley started to cry, which in turn made all the girls cry too. Ginny was the maid of honor but Nixxy and Hermione were both bride's maids. Afterwards they had a big party on the beach. Bill pulled out a guitar and everyone started to sing stupid summer songs. Nixxy turned to Harry, kissed him and said "I love you Harry."

"I love you too Nix" They got up to dance but half way through Nixxy clasped. "NIXXY! NIXXY honey wake up! Wake up Nixxy! God someone call a healer! We have to get her to St. Margos!
