Before I knew it, it was time to go to Seamus and Susan's wedding. I finished getting ready for the wedding at home, then apparated over to Harry's apartment. Luna and Colin hadn't been invited, so I was going to go with Harry, Ron, and Hermione. Harry and Ron were going to be in the wedding as groomsmen, and Hermione and I were just guests.

I apparated to a spot outside of Harry's apartment building. I walked up the stairs to his apartment on the third floor, and walked into his apartment without bothering to knock. I knew I could do this because there are only a few people who know where Harry lives, and he figures that if he likes them enough to let them know where he lives, then he likes them enough to let them walk in as they please.

Hermione and Ron were sitting on the couch, waiting for Harry. Ron had spent the night here last night after Seamus's bachelor party. I don't even want to know what happened at it. Hermione was tapping her foot impatiently, and Ron was resting his head on her shoulder.

"Will you go get him?" Hermione said exasperatedly to me. "He's still not ready and we need to be there in ten minutes."

I walked over to Harry's door. "Harry? Are you dressed?" I yelled.

Nothing. I tried to open the door but it was locked. Maybe he was still in the shower. I pulled out my wand and used it to magically unlock the door. I walked into the room and saw Harry sitting on the bed in just a pair of pants. No shirt on at all. I didn't know he was so built. Enough muscles to look good, but not so many that he looked tacky. He looked as if he had taken a shower, because his hair was slightly damp.

He looked up from the newspaper he was reading. "Hey."

"You're sitting on the bed reading a paper. You know that we have to be at the wedding in ten minutes, right?"

"Uh huh, I know. I've still got time."

Typical guy. Waiting until the last possible minute to get dressed. Honestly.

"Harry James Potter!" I yelled, stamping my foot on the ground. "Get off of your lazy butt and get dressed right now!"

Harry's mouth opened slightly from shock. "Okay."

I walked out of the room. Hermione had a smile on her face and Ron had fallen to the floor, laughing hysterically.

"He'll be out in a minute." Sure enough, Harry came out of the room, pulling his dress robes over his head.

"See? Was that so hard?" I said.
Harry laughed a little. "No. I don't see why we have to be there so early though."

"Harry!" Hermione yelled. "This is one of the most important moments in your friend's life! We can't be late to this."

"Yeah, yeah."

We apparated to the wedding. Seamus's mother had insisted that the wedding be at her house in Ireland. It took a couple of minutes to apparate just because of the distance. I was a little worried that I would get lost because I'm still kind of new to it and I've never apparated to another country before.

"Welcome, welcome!" Seamus's mother greeted. "Ron, Harry, come this way." Harry gave me a small wave as Mrs. Finnigan dragged them off to see Seamus.

Hermione and I walked around for a little bit. We were kind of early for the wedding because Ron and Harry had to be there for a last minute rehearsal.

"Ginny!" Padma exclaimed as she walked up to me. "You look amazing!"

I faked a smile. Parvati and Ernie had ended up leaving yesterday instead of a week ago like they had wanted to because Ernie needed to get one more paycheck from his job at the Leaky Cauldron before they could go. I think they ended up going to Australia to get married and settle down there.

"You haven't seen my sister, have you? She didn't come home last night," Padma said with worry in her voice.

"Uh, no, I haven't," I said. It's not exactly a lie, I just wasn't telling the whole truth. There's a difference, I swear.

We all made small talk for a little while and then we sat down on white chairs placed in the backyard. Soon the wedding began.

Seamus came down the aisle first and stood up at the front. Harry and Susan's sister came down the aisle next, followed by Ron and Susan's friend Kaitlyn. Then Dean, who was Seamus's best man, walked down the aisle with Hannah Abbott, Susan's maid of honor. Finally Susan came down the aisle. I actually got a little teary eyed. She looked really pretty in her dress robes.

The ceremony came and went, and Seamus and Susan were now husband and wife. I felt kind of sad, but happy at the same time. It's hard to see people you know doing things that are considered to be grown up.

AAABBBAAA

We walked down the receiving line and I gave Harry a hug. "This wasn't so bad, was it?" I whispered in his ear.

"No. It was actually kind of fun."
I had to walk away from him since the line kept moving (and some stupid cow behind me pushed me because she wanted to meet "the famous Harry Potter!"), and I gave Seamus a hug as well. "Where are you going on your honeymoon?" I asked kind of quietly.

Seamus smiled and winked. "Can't tell you, it's a surprise."

Boys are so frustrating.

We all ate, although Hermione and I had to sit at a different table than Ron and Harry did.

"I can't believe Parvati didn't show up," Padma said as we were eating dinner. "This is so unlike her, she was talking about how she really wanted to come yesterday."

I knew that Parvati really did want to come to this wedding. She and Ernie had to leave in a hurry though, because Parvati's parents had told her that her engagement party to Anwar was going to be in a week. They still believed that she was going to marry him. In a way, it's actually kind of funny. Funny in a whole "oh my god, my life is doomed" sort of way.

"It's time for the bride and groom to have their first dance together!" Seamus's mother yelled.

Seamus and Susan walked onto the makeshift dance floor and danced. Soon other people joined them.

Ron came over to Hermione and led her to the dance floor. Harry came up and stood next to me.

"You want to dance?" he said casually.

I nodded and we went over to the dance floor. A slow song came on and he wrapped his arms around my waist.

"You look really nice tonight, Ginny," he said.

I put my head on his shoulder. "Thanks. You look good too."

"Uh huh, okay."

"No, really. You smell amazing too."

Harry laughed. "Thanks." He pulled my head away from his shoulder and looked into my eyes.

"What happened between us?" Harry asked me.

"When?"

"When we decided not to date. Why did we say that? Why did we drift apart?"

I thought for a minute. "We decided not to date because you had to do your whole "saving the world" thing. We both knew that it couldn't work if you weren't there with me at Hogwarts."

Harry nodded. "I know. I knew that then. But I wish we could have had the past year and half together. I've missed you."

I smiled. "I've missed you too. I don't think we drifted apart, I think that we were just so busy making our lives work that we didn't have the opportunity to talk to each other everyday. But you're still one of my closest friends."

"Thanks for making me feel better about the situation between us," Harry whispered into my ear as we passed Ron and Hermione.

"If I kiss you right now, will you get mad?" I asked, a little fearfully.

"You kissed me that night when you were drunk and I didn't get mad. That was after you threw up too."

Oh lord. I kissed him after I threw up. I don't think I want to kiss him ever again.

"I don't want to kiss you anymore." I could feel my face getting red with embarrassment.

Harry smiled. We danced a little more, and the song ended. I pulled away to go sit down, and he pulled me back toward him.

"Ginny," he said. "Don't feel bad. I liked it." He pulled me very close to him and kissed me.
