Hi people, hey I am so sorry that I haven't updated at soon as I had thought, but you wont believe this. I lost my notebook where I am writing all my chapters in before I type them up. Well anyways I also have been receiving a lot of homework (especially from math) and so I have had to do that, I received so much homework because of End of Levels. Well anyways I finally found my notebook in my bedroom behind a book I was reading, so that was good. I forgot to say in my first chapter that I own none of the characters except the ones that I add in for my use only. All the other characters I give full credit to J.K. Rowling who I think is a genius. Hey I am also sorry about the many spellingerrors in my last chapter, we got a new computer so I had to deal with thatand it messed a few things up. I hope you like this chapter it took me forever to write up. Oh and thanks for the reviews:

Chapter 2

The Wedding

Friday morning dawned bright, and most of the inhabitants were asleep. Harry, Ron, and Hermione however were talking in Ron's room. Hermione was pacing, Harry sat on the windowsill stroking Hedwig, Ron lay on his back on top of his bed starring at the ceiling. Hermione stopped pacing to stare out the window, watching the sun rise. Finally she spoke up timidly.

"Harry, we've got to plan this out. Where are we going to go first?" She asked looking at him for instructions.

Harry didn't answer, he knew very well that Hermione meant where to go to search for Horocruxs. He continued to stroke Hedwig absent mindedly. Hedwig closed her eyes lazily as Harry stroked her. He finally looked at Hermione, and she gazed back giving him a piercing look.

Harry sighed and finally said, "Godrics Hollow."

"What," said Ron and Hermione shocked, Ron sitting up as he said it.

"Yes, Godrics Hollow, where my parents lived. I have a feeling," said Harry standing up,"that a horcrux is hidden there in the ruins."

"All right Harry," said Ron, "but when do you want to leave?"

Harry took up Hermione's pacing and said, "as soon as possible. Monday would be best, and we've got leave quietly."

Ron nodded, but Hermione turned away tears running down her cheeks. Ron and Harry looked at each other lost for words. She silently cried, sitting down on an upturned box. Her bushy hair hung down her back coming in waves of elegance. She hurriedly wiped her eyes on the back of her hand.

The two boys gave each other looks, and finally harry spoke up.

"Hermione are you-"

"-yes, I'm fine, I just can't," she hung her head and continued, "I just can't believe we're not going back to Hogwarts!"

Ron gave her a contemptuous look, "is this about knowing that you are definitely going to be head-"

"Oh Ron, it's not that!" Cried Hermione looking quite upset, "I just can't believe we aren't going home!"

Ron got up and tried to give Hermione a hug, but she turned away. She then said, "I should probably search through my books, there might be something useful in there," and she tore out of the room.

Ron gave harry a quizzical look, and shrugged. Harry's heart broke as Hermione's tear streaked face came back to his mind. He had thought one of them would be in tears, but hadn't thought it would be Hermione. Harry had never seen Hermione cry, or at least not like that. Not out of fear, or sadness, or confusion, but always out of joy or happiness. Why he felt so bad was because in his heart he knew she was right. He knew how she felt, and Harry was surprised that he wasn't crying or upset. He supposed that he had gotten used to the feeling of dread resting upon him. But he had an odd feeling something was going to happen, but what or where could this be coming? He shook off the feeling with a simple yawn and got up stretching along with Ron.

Harry and Ron got dressed and went downstairs for breakfast, but were surprised to see no breakfast or any one downstairs. Ron gazed at the empty table for a second, and then walked to a cupboard and opened it. He took out bowls, spoons, milk, and cereal. He set this out on the table and sat down, Harry followed suit feeling a bit silly for not helping Ron.

Ron shook his head, "Mum just hasn't had enough time, because of the wedding. So we have to be stuck with cold cereal." He smiled weakly at Harry then poured himself some cereal and passed it to Harry.

At first they ate in silence, except for the clank of their spoons hitting against their bowls. Ron then grabbed a chess set and Harry and Ron started a furious chess match. They had fun for a while talking and laughing and the game ended in a draw. The two boys cleared away the dishes they had used, put them away, and went to the living room.

In an armchair sat Hermione, with her head in a book. Harry walked over to her, pulled her into a hug, and she wept silently in his arms. She pushed away wiping her eyes and smiled half heartedly, "I'm okay now, it is out of my system. So lets get to it!"

"To what?" Asked a perplexed Ron.

"Studding, learning spells! We've only got two days and-"

"Wait, two? Three, Friday, Sat-"

"-Ron there wont be time on Saturday, that's the wedding! So here," she threw a book to Ron, "read, be useful!"

Harry, Ron, and Hermione read all day. This caused them not to notice any of the days events. More people arrived for the wedding, Fleur got upset at her mom, and Bill ran around all day following her. Yet they stayed concentrated, and kept on reading.

The tree friends went up to bed late. Harry got into bed, and lay thinking of the many things he had read. It wasn't making sense anymore. His eyes were closing, he was drifting into sleep. Harry could hear Ron's gentle breathing. Harry then remembered no more.

"Harry wake up, HARRY WAKE UP!"

Harry's eyes snapped open and found Ron shaking him. He rubbed his eyes turning them to look at Ron. He too looked tired, but he was already in his dress robes.

"What's the mat-"

"-Harry, the weddings going to start at eleven o'clock! It's ten thirty!"

Harry jumped out of bed and started putting on his dress robes. As soon as Harry was dressed, the two boys ran downstairs. Molly was frantic, so when the two boys ran in, she turned, her hands on her hips glaring at them. "Out, go out and get a seat! You can't see Fleur before her wedding!" She snapped.

Ron and Harry ran out the door, found Hermione, and sat down next to her. Harry at first looked around to see several Order of the Phoenix members before he saw Hermione. Her hair was done up very pretty. She had curled her hair and put it up, held together with clips. She was wearing a dress that was frilly and wavy. Her head turned as they sat next to her. "What took you so long?" She whispered.

"We woke up late," Ron explained.

"Yes well, you should have been up earlier! Don't you have an alarm clock?"

"We forgot to set it Hermione," said Harry out of the corner of his mouth.

"Oh, well just so you know there's going to be a party after the wedding, after the party will be a big dinner, and then bed."

Hermione then stopped talking as music played. Harry saw Bill's face turn bright red, and Harry looked back and saw why. Fleur was so beautiful words could almost not describe it. Her dress blew to the side in the wind. From the sides at the end came two flower girls. Their dresses were bright pink with flowers on them. They held baskets filled with petals in them, they then walked down the aisle way scattering petals as they went.

Fleur then walked after them very gracefully. She was smiling holding a bouquet of flowers. Her silvery blonde hair whipped in the wend. Fleur walked towards Bill, who was now smiling. The couple hooked arms, they walked forward to the minister of magic!

Harry felt his jaw drop. The minister of magic joining people in marriage? Harry looked over at Ron, who also had his mouth open in shock; Harry looked at Hermione, and was surprised to see she wasn't shocked at all! Harry leaned close to her and whispered, "the minister of magic joins people in marriage?"

"Yes, it's a special magical bound. Marriage is different in the magical world, very different. Sh, it's about to start!"

"Bill and Fleur," said Rufus Scrimgeour, "and guests, I hear that Bill and Fleur wish to be married. Is there any objections to this?"

Silence. "Good, now Fleur please take a step up," sad Rufus kindly. She took a step up and stood firmly.

"Now Fleur, do you wish to be Bill's forever wife?"

"Yes," said Fleur smiling at Bill. Rufus thought, oh please.

"Will you be a good wife, mother, and faithful to the end?" Asked Rufus in a booming voice.

"Yes, I will," answered Fleur, while Rufus thought: give me a break!

"Then Bill please create her ring of forever marriage. You know you color, do you?" Said the minister, rolling his eyes.

Bill didn't notice the eye roll but instead nodded, he turned to Fleur and touched his wand tip to Fleur's ring finger. A bright blue light spun around her finger. Then the light diminished, and upon her finger was a gold ring with a blue diamond. Bill and Fleur smiled at each other. Rufus then turned to Bill, "Bill please step up." Truly Rufus thought, should've gotten Fudge to do this.

Bill walked up, grinning broadly, and nodded to show he was ready. "Bill, do you wish to be Fleur's forever husband?"

"Yes," said Bill firmly.

"Will you be a good husband, father, and faithful to your home?" Rufus said in a drowning voice.

"Yes," Bill said smiling.

"Then Fleur do your ring," said Rufus, board now.

Fleur put her wand tip on Bill's finger; again bright blue light spun around Bill's finger. After vanishing upon Bill's finger was a gold band. In the middle, set within the band, was a blue diamond. Harry heard a small sob behind him, and he turned to see Mrs. Weasley crying into her husbands shoulder.

"Well," said Rufus twirling his wand, "you can go ahead and kiss now!"

Bill and Fleur leaned close together, and kissed. It was a very beautiful, long, romantic, loving kiss. As soon as they were done they separated, smiling broadly. The guests started clapping, and everyone started to stand up walking to the knew couple to congratulate them. Harry, Ron, and Hermione walked further away to where Ginny sat in the back. She was still in her flower girl dress, but she had undone her long hair. She was glaring angrily at Fleur.

"I can't stand her," Ginny said, "oh I really can't stand her! 'You must wear this dress for the wedding Jinny', 'get along with my sister now.' Preppie, over-rated, brat!"

"Ginny, she's your sister-in-law now, you shouldn't call her that," Hermione said gently.

"Oh please," Ginny answered coldly, "that would make me and her sister my sister as well!"

"Ginny, her sister wont be living here," Harry said.

"Yeah Ginny," Ron exclaimed, "don't worry!"

"Jinny?" Said a soft voice. Ginny looked up to find Fleur standing over her.

"Jinny, I'm sorry I was so harsh to you! I was just so worried about the wedding. Can you forgive me?" Fleur asked tentatively.

Ginny looked at Fleur, finally giving the answer, "no."

"Ginny!" Harry, Ron, and Hermione said sternly.

"Why should I?" Ginny asked.

"Because she's your sister-in-law and she said she was sorry," said Bill walking over to Fleur.

"But, I... Alright, fine your forgiven," Ginny burst out. She got up and ran to the house.

"That did not go well, not at all," said Fleur softly, hanging her head.

"She just needs time to get used to you," Bill said comfortingly putting an arm around her.

"Maybe I should go talk with her," Fleur asked Bill looking into his eyes.

"No," Harry said, "that would make things worse, and it also might be my fault because I broke up with her. I'll go talk with her."

Harry walked to the house and opened the door. Harry saw Ginny sitting at the kitchen table, crying into her hands. Harry closed the door softly, walked toward her, and sat down next to her. She looked up but did not smile.

"Ginny, why don't you give Fleur a chance?" Harry asked her with a meaningful look.

"Because, Harry it's not because of you breaking up with me, it's just that I never thought Bill would get married! He's never going to be the same, he'll never be the same as long as he's married. See why I'm upset, I always thought Bill was always there for me, but now he'll only be there for Phlem!"

"Ginny, look," Harry said, "Bill will always be your brother. He'll still be there for you, even if he is married, and when your married he'll be there still. You guys get along really well, and you look up to him, don't you? Well look at it this way now you'll be able to have a girl to look up to as well. She's very nice, just talk to her and you'll see. Please."

"But- well, I'll give it a chance," Ginny said rubbing her eyes.

Ginny and Harry got up and walked outside. Ginny spotted Fleur and walked toward her. Ginny stopped in front of Fleur extending her hand. "I'm sorry," Ginny muttered, "I acted wrongly and I don't even know you. I think maybe we should get to know each other." Fleur took her hand and shook it, "alright Jinny, we can do that. I wont push you around to much." The two girls smiled at each other, letting go of each others hands.

Ginny turned back to Harry smiling. "Thanks Harry," Ginny smiled, "it feels alright now, to have a new family member, well actually a few if you count her family."

"I told you it wouldn't be bad," Harry answered as Fleur threw her bouquet of flowers for anxious girls.

"So," said a voice behind them, "finally realized Fleur is okay after all?"

It turned out to be Ron with Hermione. Ginny smiled and nodded. Ron seemed thrilled. "so you wont complain about her anymore?" He asked receiving a shake from Ginny. "Great," Ron said hugging his sister.

The rest of the days events were joyful. The party was wonderful filled with music, dancing, laughing, and romance. Every one seemed happy for once, but Harry found it hard to stay happy. His thoughts kept coming to the horrible day where he would leave silently. That would be best, not a big fair well. But still something was drawing him back. Perhaps he might still be feeling worried about what he was going to do, or maybe it was nerves. Whatever it was though, Harry thought, it would not stop him.

At dinner people talked happily discussing about Sunday plans and things that had happened that week. During the wedding, because Harry had ran in late, he hadn't spotted a lot of people he knew. But now that Harry was sitting still Harry spotted out Lupin and Tonks, Fred, George, Mad-eye, and other people he recognized.

Hermione was talking to Ginny happily, while Ron talked away to Charlie about Quidditch.

"You see, I say England has a good chance this year," Charlie explained, "if America, Ireland, Scotland, and France blow it in a few matches."

"No," Ron put in, "if England loses five more matches then we'll be out, wont we?"

"Not necessarily," Charlie said examining the point, "all depends on points really."

"Well I would say that too," Ron answered going back to his food.

Soon everyone was leaving or going to bed. Fleur and Bill left for Rome for their honey moon. People who were still awake waved happily crying farewells. As Harry got into bed that night, he realized it had been a pretty interesting time with the Weasleys. But he had noticed one thing Percy had not been present at the wedding, and he felt angry for that. Harry yawned and rolled over, feeling like sleep was never something to get worried about. So he put Percy out of his mind and fell asleep to a dreamless world with no worries.
