Chapter 9
Ginny and Hermione stood tall and walked slowly up to the platform. They met Harry and Ron at the base and their fathers handed over the brides' hands. Ginny felt something like a shockwave go through her body. She loved the feeling. She gave Harry a smile as he led her carefully up the stairs and to the altar.
"We are gathered here..." Ginny indistinctly heard the preachers say in unison. She repeated what she was supposed to and she and Harry and Ron and Hermione all said their 'I do's'. Harry pulled Ginny to him and picked her off of her feet with a mind- blowing kiss. At first it was gentle, then it steadily became more passionate, and then, Harry stuck his tongue in her mouth. She knew she would never forget this kiss. Not ever. Soon, she heard laughing and Harry pulled away leaving her with a longing for more. The whole crowd was laughing at Ron who was so wildly kissing Hermione that they were close to knocking down their archway. Ginny wrapped an arm around Harry's waist and they joined in the laughing.
After they had all taken pictures, they went to the front yard for the reception. It was great. Ginny's dad cried when he danced with her. Then Ron cut in. Not to dance with Ginny, but with Mr. Weasley. Everyone roared with laughter. Later, Ginny finally got to dance with Harry. As we know, he's not the best dancer in the world, but Ginny was a good match for him. She hardly even winced the few times her feet didn't move out of his way fast enough and he stepped on them. Afterwards, she and Harry cut their cake, while Hermione struggled to show Ron how to hold the knife at the same time as her. They shared a delicious piece of the chocolate chip cake that they'd picked out only a month before. It felt like an eternity to Ginny at that moment. After more pictures, and they had each had a glass of whine which they crossed arms to drink, and another piece of cake each, they climbed into a limo and took off to Hawaii.
Ginny snuggled up close to Harry in the back of the limo. Ron and Hermione were going to Barbados for a week.
"So, Gin. What do you want to do first?"
"Unpack. And then, we can go down to the beach and have a picnic dinner." she said with a sly smile.
"You know how to unpack fast don't you?"
"Why?" she said putting a hand on his chest and watching him squirm with nerves.
"Because... I'm sooooo hungry."
"Me too." She said as she slipped her hand off of him and went into a fake wife mode. "I was thinking that I could make grilled chicken… and mashed potatoes, coleslaw, and biscuits. And then I can make some sweet tea to drink!" Harry had stopped paying much attention and looking out the window at the passing street lights.
"Sounds good." he mumbled.
"And for desert... I think... strawberries and whipped cream..." Ginny added resuming her sly smile and watching his reaction.
"Uh huh..." he said still staring blankly out the window for a few seconds before snapping around to stare at Ginny in surprise. "Sounds really good."
"I thought so too." she said putting her hand back on his chest and her head on his shoulder. He stroked her hair and she felt like she could just purr.
A few hours later, they stopped at a wizard's rest stop.
"Are we here already?" Ginny asked half asleep.
"No, Gin. We're just stopping before we cross the ocean." Harry told her helping her out of the car.
"Oh..." she said groggily.
After she had climbed out of the limo, Harry put his arm around her, resting his hand on her waist to steady her. She put her head on his shoulder as she had before. They walked into the store and bought some food and drinks, went to the bathroom, and left, leaving the people working there a very good idea of what love really looked like.
"So how does this thing get across the ocean?" Ginny asked Harry once they were moving again.
"You'll see." he told her tapping the roof with his wand. The roof went see through and she could see everything outside of the limo. They were coming up fast on a wall. Moments before they hit, Ginny let out a scream and grabbed Harry as tightly as she could as if to protect him. Ginny buried her face and waited for the impact. It didn't come. She looked up and Harry was laughing at her.
She promptly joined in. They were in a tunnel. It was see through like the car and she could see fish and other things in the water. A blue whale was swimming straight at the tunnel. She was sure the poor creature was going to run into it. It was right next to it and about to hit, when it disappeared and reappeared on the other side going the other way. Ginny gasped in awe and Harry promptly let out a little laugh. Ginny lightly punched him in the arm.
"Why didn't you tell me it wasn't going to hit?" she said.
"Because it was more fun watching you freak out."
After Ginny had taken tons of pictures of dolphins, sharks, coral reefs, deep sea fish, etc. they came out suddenly and unexpectedly into blinding light.
Both Harry and Ginny covered their eyes. The limo wove in and out of cars like the Knight bus and they came to a smooth stop in front of a beautiful hotel. It was called the Shell Inn. It had to be at least 300 floors. Ginny and Harry gasped in awe.
"Your things are in your Suite. They are unpacked so you are free to do whatever you want." said the limo driver. "Is there anything else you need?"
"No thank you." Harry replied handing him a large tip.
"This is way too much, young sir." the driver said counting the money.
"It was worth it to see Ginny's face as we entered the tunnel." Harry said with a chuckle and the driver smiled and drove away.
"So, picnic dinner." he said when the car was out of sight.
"Isn't it a little late?" Ginny asked.
"It's never too late for dinner! And i quote your big brother." Harry said with a shocked look.
"Okay. If I have Ron's permission." she said with a laugh.
"Come on, we'll go now." Harry said grabbing her hand and taking off running.
They ran down to the beach and found a secluded spot.
"Okay, dinner now?" Ginny said pulling out her wand.
"Skip dinner. I want dessert!" Harry said grabbing her around the waist an pulling her to him. He laid her down in the sand and started kissing her. He brushed his lips across hers before lip locking her sending chills down her spine. He then put his tongue into her mouth and their tongues danced. Ginny grabbed his shirt and began pulling it off of him.
And this is where we leave them and go to bed before this goes X. lol.
