Weddings and such…
It was time to go get their licenses. Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny had all eaten breakfast and were ready to go the Ministry to get their licenses. Hermione was going for support, and Ron had to take it again (He did fail right?). Ginny had to go up to Mr. Weasley's office to get her permission forms.
Tonks took them to the phone box that they had to take to the office.
When they got to the underground room, and Tonks showed them up to the floor they had to go to, and left Ron and Harry, and then took Hermione and Ginny to Mr. Weasley's office.
Harry and Ron walked quickly down the hall, avoiding odd glances from some of the people they passed.
When they found the room that had a large colorful sign on the door that read Apparation Tests they opened the door, and saw a small sitting room. Harry went up to the desk and said to the bored looking receptionist" Three for our tests. "She glanced up, then looked down at her clipboard. "Names?" she said in a high-pitched voice that sounded oddly like Professor Umbridge. Harry hesitated then replied "Ron Weasley, Ginny Weasley, and Harry Potter. " Her eyes looked at with interest, and then flew up to the lighting bolt scar on his forehead. Harry cringed; he always hated it when people did that. "Alright," she said looking behind him at Ron.
"We can have you in about 10 minutes. Where is Miss Weasley? "Harry looked behind him then back at the receptionist saying "She's underage, so she had to get the forms. She'll be back in a minute. "The receptionist nodded.
"You can take a seat right over their Mr. Potter. Can I get you or Mr. Weasel a drink?" Harry looked at Ron, who was glaring at the receptionist. He nodded and mouthed "Pumpkin juice." Harry looked back at the girl and said smirking slightly
"Mr. Weasley and I will have pumpkin juice, if you have it, and I'd like two extras, for my friends." She nodded and got up and went to the back. Harry went and sat down next to Ron.
"So Mr. Weasel, how do you think you'll do?" He said grinning. Ron glared at him then replied in a monotone "Fine, you Mr. Potty?" Harry laughed
"OK, I guess." Just then the girls came back smiling. Ginny went and sat next to Harry, and Hermione sat next to her. The receptionist came back and handed everyone their drinks.
"Miss Weasley, may I see your papers? Then you go to take your test. "
Ginny handed the girl her forms, and then went to got take the test. Right before she went in the door that appeared as the girl waved her wand over it, she looked back at
Harry, with apparent nervousness in her eyes. Then she turned and went through the door, and they all watched as it disappeared after her.
Ginny came about 20 minuets later, smiling "I passed! " She said excitably. "There's three test you have to take, and I passed all of them! " Harry smiled at her, and gave her a hug. Ron smiled, but it disappeared as the receptionist came out again. "Mr. Potter, it's your turn. Right through this door, please." She said waving her wand over the spot were the door was. Harry looked at Hermione and Ginny, and then went through the door.
In the room there was a man standing there, looking pleasantly at Harry. "Hello, you must be Mr. Potter, I'm Teddy. I'll be testing you today. "Harry looked at Teddy, and decided he liked him. He hadn't the customary glance at his scar that most people did. "Hello." Harry said trying to match his instructor's cheery voice. "Alright, there will three test. The first one will be in here; you will apperate to each of these hoops." Teddy said flicking his wand, and three hula hoops that had been on the wall, flew to the floor.
Harry looked at the hoops, and replied "Alright." Harry ap-erated to each hoop, then looked up and saw Teddy smiling broadly.
"Very good! Have you taken this before?"
Harry shook his head and looked at the ground. " Alright then, we'll be going to the next test then. This one will be at a safe spot.
You will apperate there, then back. I will be watching on both sides. "
Harry listened as he gave him the directions, then concentrated, and got there with a whoosh. He looked around and saw he was on a hill that over looked London. Harry started to forget what he was doing, then quickly remembered and disseraperated back. "You kind get lost in it don't you?" Teddy said smiling. "Ya, it's beautiful. " Harry said, thinking of the view.
" Okay, well moving on. The next test is a little bit harder, you need to apperate to a muggle village without them realizing it." Harry looked at him, not sure what he was talking about. " You can't really just pop in front of a muggle with them noticing. " Teddy looked at minute before replying " Well that's why you're going to apperate behind a building. "
Harry didn't say anything, just nodded. "Okay, so here's the address, 1234 Johnsonville, London. ( I don't know if there's really a place that's named but….). "Harry nodded, then apperated behind a building there, saw nothing interesting, then went back. " Very good, you passed!" Harry grinned, he hadn't thought he would on the first time. "Your test scores will be mailed with Miss Weasley's, and Mr. Weasley's when he takes his. Thank you for coming, hope you do well. Jane will make your license for you before you leave."
Harry thanked him, and then walked out grinning. Ron paled when he saw Harry. "Was the teacher ok? How hard was the test? Is it really bad?" Harry answered each question, and then told them he had passed.
Jane then told Ron it was his turn, and Ron came back out thirty minutes later, looking pleased with himself. "I passed!" Hermione went and gave him a hug, and then they all got their licenses and left.
They told the Weasley's they had passed and then apperated to their rooms for a nap.
The next few days were a flurry getting ready for the wedding. Mrs. Weasley was constantly on their backs. A few days before the wedding, the four realized they hadn't gotten them presents yet. So they all apperated to Diagon Alley to get the presents.
Ginny and Hermione helped the boys pick out gifts, Harry gave them certifiget to get a portrait done of them, and Ron got a frame for it. Ginny got a quilt for them, and Hermione got a pot's and pans set. They were all satisfied with their gifts, and went back to the Burrow and hid them away safely.
Finally the day of the wedding came. Bill was completely nervous, the wedding was set to be at noon, and it was now 10:30. They were all getting ready, and then were going to the groom's room to talk to Bill.
It was now 11:30, and Bill was sitting at the dressing table completely nervous. "Why did I let her decide to go ahead and marry me?
What if I hurt her, or am not a good enough husband! Oh my gosh, I can't marry her, I don't deserve her!" He was standing up pacing the room, and pulling at his hair. "Brother, get a hold of yourself!" said Fred. "Yes, of course you don't deserve her, that's the point!"
George agreed. Bill looked at his brother thoughtfully, and then looked around the room at his other friends and family. Harry was standing against the wall nodding, and so was Ron. He sighed; he knew he was just nervous. Thirty minutes later,
Ron looked at his watch and said "It's time to go, it's eleven forty-five." Percy, who Bill had decided to be his best man, was getting straightened up in the mirror, and Harry and Ron, who were ushers, were already gone.
When Bill got out in front of the church, he started sweating again.
The music started and Bill watched as Ginny, and Gabrielle,
Fluer's sister, and one of Fluer's friends, Maria, walked down the aisle. Bill got his breath as he saw Fleur,
she was gorgeous in a white spaghetti strap dress, with small pink flowers on her waist. Her hair seemed silver in the lighting, and Bill couldn't keep his eyes off her. She seemed to float toward him.
When she finally reached him,
Bill took her hand in his own, and turned to face the Marge, the woman that was to marry them. She turned to look at them, and then asked they pull out their wands. When they had she said in a loud voice
"Bill Weasley, Fleur Delacour, do you wish to get married?" They both answered at the same time "We do."
The Marge nodded "Please put your wands together, and Fleur Delacour, repeat after me." Fleur nodded. "I Fleur" the Marge said. "I Fleur,"
"Give myself to Bill Weasley". "Give my self to Bill Weasley" repeated Fleur softly. "To marry, and respect him as my husband." Bill looked Fleur, and squeezed her hand.
"To marry, and respect as my husband."
A light purple light went from her wand to Bills, and his wand to seemed to glow purple. The Marge turned to Bill and told him to repeat her. "I Bill Weasley give myself to Fleur Delacour" the Marge looked at him
"I Bill Weasley give myself to Fleur Delacour" Fleur smiled at him shyly. "To marry and respect her as my wife." Fleur looked at him expectantly.
"To marry and respect her as my wife.
" He said hoarsely. His wand then shot out a green light,
and Fluer's wand glowed green. The Marge held her wand and held over the two wands, and said with smile
"I Danielle Briann Wright herby marry Bill Weasley and Fleur Delacour. Would bride's family please stand up and repeat after me?"
All the Delacour stood up. "Please repeat after me." The Marge said.
"We give Fleur Delacour to Bill Weasley to have as his wife."
All the Delacour repeated what she had said. She then asked to sit down, and the Weasley's to stand up. "Please repeat after me.
We give Bill Weasley to Fleur Delacour to have as her husband.
The Weasley's all repeated in unison. She then turned back to Bill and Fleur, and said,
"I give you Mr. and Mrs. Bill and Fleur Weasley!"
Everyone cheered loudly as the two ran past to start the reception.
Bill looked at his wife, and kissed her carefully.
"Fleur Weasley, I think I like that." Fleur nodded, and replied with a smile
"Shall we, husband?". Bill smiled, and held out his arm, and she took it.
Harry had watched the ceremony carefully; he had never seen a wizard wedding before. Hermione had told before hand that the person that married wizards and witches was called a Marge, and was always a woman.
Harry decided he liked this kind of wedding. As he headed to the reception, Ginny caught up with him. "It was beautiful wedding wasn't it Harry?" she asked.
"It was, I've never seen anything like it."
Harry agreed. When they were walking past the bathroom door, they saw Fred and George shoving something into a bag. "What are you two up to?" Harry asked looking at the brown bag they were holding. "Nothing."
They replied at the same time. Ginny looked at the suspiciously then went on walking. Harry looked at bag one last time, and then ran to catch up with Ginny.
For the wedding she had been wearing a light blue dress that had a straight neck, but she had changed into a light purple one, that had an A neck, and went just below her knees. Her hair was curled softly at her shoulder, with a bit pulled into the back.
Harry thought she looked gorgeous, and told her so. She smiled, and gave him a peck on the cheek.
When they got to the large room were the reception was, they saw a huge table filled with food, and Ron and Hermione were sitting at a table, when they saw them they waved them over. "Harry, Ginny, there you are!" Hermione said happily.
"Ya, where've you been mate?" Ron asked. Ginny answered, I had to change, and then we ran into Fred and George. They're up to something, but I'm not going to worry about it." Harry looked at her, he had expected a more concerned attitude, but this worked for him he decided.
They watched the dancing, then Hermione and Ginny decided they needed to go dance. The boys persisted, but finally gave up. It was a slow song, so it was not to bad.
The night passed quickly, and soon it was time for everyone to leave. As Bill and Fleur were getting into the flying Limo, a burst of fireworks popped out from the roof of the church. Everyone looked up, they read "Bill and Fleur forever!" Almost all the Weasley looked at Fred and George, but not to glare, but to smile. The Delacour were crying, and laughing.
Bill and Fleur finally left, and everyone headed home. As they were riding, Ginny fell asleep, and she slid her head into Harry's lap. Harry hesitated, and then started stroking her hair. Ron looked up, and then down quickly. Harry smirked, he knew that Ron was still unsure about this whole best friend dating his sister thing. When they reached the house,
Harry shook Ginny awake, and then walked her to her room. He kissed her good night, and then went back to his room, and into bed.
The next few days Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny were all getting ready to leave. They packed, and shopped, and researched. They decided that a town called Haven, a wizard community, would be their first stop. It was where Godric Gryffindor had been born, so maybe Voldomort had gone there. The day before they were set to leave, Mrs. Weasley had a panic attack.
"WHY DID YOU LET ME TELL HER SHE COULD GO! SHE'S JUST A BABY! ARTHUR WEASLEY DON'T YOU TELL ME…"
She stopped then, because she was too busy sobbing into her husband's shoulder.
The next morning, everyone gathered at the Weasley's house to tell them good-bye.
Even Professor McGonagall was there. She shook their hands, then to Harry's surprise, gave them a hug.
Tonks was even crying. When Lupin said good-bye, he said
" Harry, remember the mirror. Harry. Please be careful." Harry looked at him, then gave him a big hug, before saying goodbye to everyone else. It was a very tearful good-bye.
By the time they got to the hotel they were staying at, it was already 9:00. Everyone got to their rooms, and was in their beds when a sudden explosion came from the hallway.
Everyone quickly jumped out of bed, and got out their wands, and had them pointed. Just then the door flew open and Harry saw the pale face of Lucius Malfoy. "So Mr. Potter, we meet again…"
A/N OK, the last cliffhanger was no good, but this one I think just might make it…right? So everyone review, and come back for the next chapter…and I want five reviews! Won't update until I get them. It wasn't really as long as I had planned, but when I wrote it, it did take up 4 pages on Word, so that says something I guess. I think I'll be writing another story pretty soon, I'll keep going with this one, but I'll also be doing another. I'm not sure though, just thinking about it. So make sure you review, or you won't get another chapter!
Guess what? I did write another story! In fact, I wrote five more. All wonderful stories, of course. All stories by me are wonderful…not. I think this is the longest chapter I have written in this entire story…hold on while I check. Nope, chapter 29 is twice as long. But chapter 29 is actually chapter 28, cus of my authors that's in…6 chapters from now. Wonderful aye? But for those of you who are not DDIA believers, you will be grateful for it. Anyways, reviews are loved, as always!
