Over the Next few weeks Ginny and Harry were fairly polite to each other, but everyone could sense something was going on. Finally, Ron burst out with the question everyone was waiting to hear the answer to as Harry helped Ginny sit at the table for dinner.
"Are you two going out or what?" Ron blirted as Harry sat down. His outburst earned him 3 dangerous glares from Hermione, Mrs. Weasley, and Ginny herself.
The other five boys (Percy having apoligized and being accepted back into the family) staired, interested in the conversation while Fluer started humming and piling food on Bill's plate. Mr. Weasley however, took a leaf out of Fluer's book and piled his plate high with food acting as is the question had never been asked. He complimented his wife on the delicious meal.
Ginny saw Harry's emotions shift from surprise at the question to sadness. Ginny didn't like that he was still sticking to his previous decision. "No Ron," She answered. "We are not going out and even if we were thinking of it, it would be our business, not yours." Harry let out a small sigh.
"You mean... you arn't even thinking of getting back together agian? Ever?" Bill asked. Everyone went silent for a while second before a very loud smack and a cry from Bill was heard. Fluer had hit him very hard on the back of the head.
"Do not pry into seir private lives. 'Et iz not your buziness." She said angely. Then she smiled at him and asked if he wanted potatoes.
The rest of dinner was extremely quiet with the exception of Mrs. Weasley and Fluer talking over last minute wedding plans.
When Ginny went to bed, she realized that tomarrow, Bill would be getting married. And she would be in the wedding! She had, of course, always known Bill was getting married when he'd told the family, but now it hit her full force.
"Good night Ginny." Hermione said from the bed next to her. She flicked her wand and the light went off.
"Night." Ginny was engulfed in darkness.
Hermione could be heard shuffling around in her bed to a comfortable position. "Get a good night's sleep Gin. We're going to have a busy day tomarrow." And with that, she went silent.
It took Ginny a while to fall asleep. And when she did, she had the same nightmare as before, only this time, she was Lord Voldemort.
Ginny woke the next morning to shouts coming from every direction of the house and she could tell they were not shouts of joy. She could even hear high pitched crying and wailing.
She rolled over and noticed Hermione was not in the room. One look out of the window told her the wedding wasn't too far off. Ginny quickly got out of bed and in a mad dash, threw her dress on and ran out of the room.
With out the door and walls blocking the sound, the shouting became louder instantly. Once in the kitchen, Ginny found Mrs. Weasley and Fluer at the table. Ron, Charlie, and Bill's voices could be heard from upstairs.
Mrs. Weasley spotted Ginny and seemed to be slightly relieved. She told Fluer to look up. Fluer looked also slightly releived causing Ginny to wonder when someone was going to tell her what the hell was going on. Fluer let out a slight cry when she saw what Ginny was wearing.
"Ginny," Fluer spoke between tears. "Ze wedding iz off. I do not know what I am zapossed to do!" Fluer looked at her hands while she spoke and when she had finished, she burst into tears.
Ginny turned to Mrs. Weasley, very confused. "She and Bill had a row." Mrs. Weasley started. "She wants Bill to quit his job and move back here so they can start a family near your father and me." She shook her head slowly and patted Fluer on the back.
Ginny turned on the spot and sped up the stiars until she came to Bill's room. Not even bothering to knock, she pushed the door open and stormed in, catching Ron, Charlie, and Bill by surprise. It appeared Bill was yelling at Ron and Charlie who were in turn yelling at him.
"You sodding git!" Ginny wailed. Bill took a step back. "Look what you've done to the poor girl! Calling the wedding off will have no resolution to this problem. You can still work for Gringotts here and still have a family and kids-"
"Who said I even want kids?" Bill asked. This proved to be shocking for Ron and Charlie as well as Ginny.
"You-you don't want kids?" Ginny asked. She didn't want to think she had heard Bill right. Ron looked upset and as if he didn't know what to say. Charlie was unsure of how Ginny had gotten into this conversation.
All four of them turned to the door as they heard glass breaking. Fluer was standing at the door, a broken cup at her feet. "I'm going to be a zingle mozer!" She wailed taking off down the stairs leaving everyone even more shocked then before.
"A single mother?" Charlie asked.
"No way." said Ron.
"Fluer's pregnant!" Ginny turned on Bill. "I really hope you're happy now! You've knocked a girl up and called off your wedding to said girl and leaving her alone with a child? Some brother you are! And you're sapossed to set an example to-" She was cut off by Ron who held his hand up to shush her while he looked at Bill.
Bill was stiaring at the door, a huge grin beginning to form on his face. "I'm gunna be a dad." He wispered. Then, he shouted it and ran down the stiars after Fluer.
Ginny gave a startled look to Ron and Charlie before they all tore off after him. The 3 Weasley's stopped at the bottom of the stairs and saw Bill and Fluer kissing and Mrs. Weasley crying.
"Ginny!" Fluer cried flinging herself on the poor girl. "You 'afe saved my marrege! How can I ever thank you?"
"It. Was. No. Problem." Ginny said through the little breathes she could take with Fluer hugging her to death.
Mrs. Weasley took charge and smiled at them all. "Come now, we have a wedding to put on. Fluer, you must finish getting ready. Bill, tux NOW! Ron, Charlie you as well. Ginny, go and find Harry, Hermione, and Gabriella please. They are all ready and last I knew they were seating guests. We have to get ready. Let's go people!"
Ginny rushed out to the backyard and quickly spotted Hermione, Harry and Gabriella. 'This day is not going to be over fast enough.' She thought. Grabbing both Gabriella and Harry's hands, Ginny smiled at Hermione and told her they were almost ready. Hermione nodded and took her seat and Ginny walked back to the house with Gabriella and Harry. Mrs. Weasley shoved them into a line. One of Bill's friends from work was going to walk up first. He was to be the best man. Then, Gabriella was to walk with Charlie to the alter and split to the sides. Then, Harry and Ginny were to walk together following Gabriella and Charlie. And following them would be Fluer's best friend from school as the Maid of Honour.
Bill walked out ahead of everyone to stand at the alter. He smiled and blushed as he stood waiting. The music started up and the best man started forward. Slowly, the line Ginny was in began to move forward until she was walking a few paces behind Gabriella with Harry at her side.
"You look really good Gin." Harry wispered to her as the past a few people niether of them knew. They smiled politly.
"Thanks Mr. Potter. You don't look half bad either." Ginny watched Charlie kiss Gabriella on the cheek (as it's costomary) before they split ahead of them. "Ah, the part were we split up only to be tossed in with the res of the people stuck in the boring wedding." Ginny wispered. She watched Harry for a moment after they had turned and was completely surprised when he acctually did bend down to kiss her cheek. "It's only customary." Ginny wispered softly.
"No." Harry wispered back. "I wanted to do that." He smiled at her and turned to stand behind Charlie. Ginny walked over the Gabriella and stood behind her. Throughout the rest of the wedding, Ginny couldn't help but think about Harry. She loved him so much but she knew they'd never be. Not until Voldemort was gone. And maybe not even after that.
The wedding ended in no time tables appeared in the yard. Little orbs of light danced around and many people began to dance. Ron went straight to the food and he sat talking and eating with Harry. Hermione and Ginny walked lazily around the yard. Quite a few times they caught a few of Fluer's distant cousins shooting glances their way.
When Ginny and Hermione were just about the make their way over to Harry and Ron, two of Fluers cousins came up to them. They were 5th cousins and twins also.
"Hello. I'm Ed and this is my brother Zep." One of them said. He was clearly eyeing Ginny up and down and she did not like the way he was looking at her.
"Um, yes, well." Hermione stuttered. She looked at Ginny who had started to get a little red with anger. Ed (or perhaps it was Zep) took this as blushing and continued on.
"We were just wondering if you two beautiful ladies had come here with anyone." He paused slightly, but not long enough for the girls to answer. "No? Well Zep and I were also wondering if you would like to come to our place. Maybe we could all get to know each other. It would be great fun." He said. Ed reached out to grab Ginny's arm but she jerked away.
"Acctually, you pin headed great sodding idiot," Ginny started. She stopped talking when she heard a voice behind her.
"Gin, there you are. Do you want to dance?" Harry eyed Ed and Zep before turning back to Ginny. "After all, one would think the boyfriend gets the first dance right?" He wrappe his arms around Ginny's waist and wispered in her ear. "I heard these guys giving you trouble. Play along, it might help." Ginny nodded.
Ron walked up to them and smiled at Ginny and winked at Harry. "Hey Herm." He smiled. He wrapped his arms around Hermione's waist and kissed her. Ed and Zep seemed annoyed and began to walk away muttering under their breath.
"Oy! Ed!" Ginny called. Ed turned around and shot her a dirty look. Ginny marched up to him and slammed the back of her heal into his foot. "Learn better manners when it comes to girls you filthy prat." She turned and walked back to Harry, Ron, and Hermione.
By the time Ginny and Harry finally had time to themselves, Ginny was none to happy. "What's the deal Potter?"
Harry looked at her. She could read the confusion in his deep green eyes. Those eyes she could get lost in- no. She had to find out the truth. "You kiss me on the cheek and say you want to, you wrap your arms around me and call me your girlfriend, even if it was to get some blokes away, and yet you still say we can't be together. I know you want to. So can we?"
Harry sighed. "I really want to be with you Gin, but we can't. We've been over this. I thought you'd understand!"
Ginny felt her heart drop. "I do. I just- nevermind. I understand. Ok, we won't have to talk about this agian. Good night Harry." Ginny walked into the house and up to her room where she fell on the bed and silently cried herself to sleep without even changing out of her dress.
So, that's chapter 3. Things will get better next chapter. I promise. Shall I give you a hint? People make plots and someone goes missing. That's all i'm saying for now. Read and review pleases. I shall give goast cookies to whoever does! Any suggestions would be great too. Til next time!
