Almost Wedding Bells
"Psst!" Whispered Ginny into Harry's ear,
"Hmm?" He said, rubbing his eyes and getting up,
"Are you awake?"
"I am now… what time is it?" He yawned,
"Five,"
"In the morning?"
"Yeah…" said Ginny,
"It's too early," said Harry sinking his head back into the pillow.
"Don't be such a sloth," said Ginny, grabbing the doona and pulling it off Harry, he groaned angrily.
"Ginny! Why do we have to wake up so bloody early?" he said, facing the ceiling, she rolled her eyes.
"Because, the wedding!" She said as if he was daft,
"Again, I repeat, why do we have to wake up so early?" Said Harry looking at her straight in the eye.
"Up!" She said, whacking him softly in the head, Harry grabbed her arm,
"Make me," he said, Ginny kissed Harry and he wrapped his hands around her waist, she kissed down his neck.
"Up," she whispered, before getting off him,
"Ok, ok," he sighed, pushing himself up on his hands and swinging his legs over the edge of the bed. He grabbed his glasses from the bedside table and put them on, Ginny was getting changed on the other side of the bed, pulling on her pants, she was only wearing a bra and underwear, Harry turned away embarrassed.
"Oh Harry, quit being such a gentleman," she said rolling her eyes, Harry took off his top and slipped on his t-shirt, Ginny put on a red long-sleeve top,
"See you in the kitchen," she said, giving him a kiss before leaving. Harry put on some black track pants and went out the door to the kitchen, Ginny was sitting down quietly eating, Ron was sitting next to Hermione, also looking extremely tired, he turned when Harry entered,
"Dragged you in too huh?" He said,
"Yep,"
"Here Harry," said Hermione passing him some toast,
"Thanks," he said,
"Eat fast!" Said Ginny laughing, Harry rolled his eyes, but did as she said; as soon as he had finished she put out her arm.
"What?" Said Harry frowning,
"Apparate!" She said, Harry grabbed her hand,
"Well… see you," and he apparated to the Burrow,
"Why did you apparate outside," asked Ginny, Harry shrugged,
"Polite," Ginny opened the door and they entered.
"Harry; Ginny!" Screamed Mrs. Weasley; coming from the kitchen.
"Thank God you're here! What took you so long? And you look so…. Beaten up; both of you!" Harry touched the scratch above his eye.
"Mum, what am I wearing?" Said Ginny, unable to contain herself, Mrs. Weasley grabbed her hand and ran up the stairs.
"Harry you stay here, and eat something!" She yelled, Harry sighed and sat down, resting his head on his hands. All the stress from yesterday was coming back on him; it felt as if he hadn't slept at all.
"Harry?" Said someone entering from the stairs, he turned around,
"Oh, hi," he said at the smiling Gabrielle,
"It is so good to zee you!" She said, running over to Harry and giving him a kiss on the cheek, quite bemused by this Harry just blinked stupidly,
"Yeah you too… so how have you been?"
"Oh, ok, Fleur's just going… crazy," she said shaking her light hair, and sitting on the seat next to Harry and leaning in, in a suggestive way. Harry moved his chair back slightly,
"So where is she?" He asked,
"Upstairs, trying to sleep," she said rolling her eyes,
"Not working though, zee woke me up with all 'er mumbling," waving her hands,
"OH!" He heard Ginny say from up the stairs, Harry smiled, and Gabby frowned,
"Are you and that… girl together?"
"Yeah, Ginny and I are together," he said,
"Oh," she said, "well… I can always fight for you," she said with a smile, and she ran up the stairs. Harry stared, stunned after her for several seconds before looking at the table again. He did not want to be with Gabrielle, he wanted to be with Ginny, he sighed and walked up the stairs to find Ginny. He heard them in one room and entered, Ginny was standing by a mirror looking at the pale gold dress Fleur had picked out for her. It started at the end of the collarbone and a loose piece hung over her shoulder, it had a "V" neck and hugged her waist. The dress ended at her shins and a slit cut up to the thigh,
"Harry!" She said turning around,
"What do you think?" Said Mrs. Weasley, Harry gave a small smile to Ginny,
"Nice," he said, nodding. Ginny grinned; Mrs. Weasley looked between Harry and Ginny, then back again,
"I see…" she said slowly,
"What?" Said Ginny,
"Seeing each other again huh?" She said, Harry heard two pops in the kitchen,
"That'll be Ron and Hermione," Said Ginny,
"OH! I'll go talk to them!" She said running out of the room,
"You really think it looks nice?" She said, turning to the mirror again,
"Yeah," he said walking over to her and giving her a kiss on the mouth. It was only quick, because they heard Hermione and Mrs. Weasley running up the stairs,
"We are just lucky she hasn't grabbed me and chained me here, I think she is calming down because Bill's getting married," she said shrugging.
"Yeah… I'm going to go talk to Ron, you and Hermione can talk about… clothes," he said with a laugh, just as Hermione and Mrs. Weasley entered.
Harry walked down the stairs; Ron was in the kitchen,
"How do the dresses look?" He said,
"Not bad," replied Harry, sitting down,
"Hey Ron, sit! I need to tell you something," Ron closed the fridge and sat down,
"Yeah?" He said, Harry retold what happened with Gabrielle.
"No way!" Ron said, when he finished, "you know, if you cheat on Ginny I will kill you,"
"You know for a fact I don't like Gabrielle," he said shaking his head, "but what do I do? I mean she sounded serious."
"Dunno, ask Hermione, she'll know," said Ron,
"Maybe I should just tell Ginny,"
"Maybe," he shrugged, and went to the fridge again.
He decided to tell Ginny, he had seen too many movies that Dudley watched to know it was the right thing to do.
Later
"Ginny can I talk to you?"
"Oh God you aren't going to break up with me again are you?" She said frowning, Harry smiled,
"No,"
"Ok good, want to go out into the garden?"
"Yeah," Ginny took Harry's hand and they went outside, there were no gnomes, obviously Mrs. Weasley had been keeping an eye on them so close to the wedding. Harry and Ginny sat down,
"So… what do you want to tell me?" Said Ginny, Harry sighed and told her all about what happened, Ginny's smile faded and it slowly increased into a frown,
"Stupid cow," she muttered, when he was finished,
"You don't want to be with her do you?" She said worriedly, Harry leaned in and gave her a kiss; she wrapped her hands around his neck, and then broke apart,
"Does that answer your question?" He asked; Ginny nodded.
"LUNCH!" Called Mrs. Weasley from the kitchen, Ginny and Harry walked back hand in hand.
When they got to the kitchen it was already full, Charlie and Bill sat next to each other deep in conversation, and Fleur was next to Bill on his other side, talking to Mr. Weasley. Then there was Mr. Weasley, and then a gap was next to Gabby who was next to Fred and George then there was another gap then Ron; Hermione on his left then there was another gap.
"Hey! Ginny, come sit here!" Said Fred, pulling her out a seat, she walked over and sat down between George and Ron, Mrs. Weasley came in, putting food in the centre of the table before sitting between Hermione and Charlie. There was only one space left, he sighed and walked over to next to Gabby and Mr. Weasley, perhaps he could just try to talk to Mr. Weasley the whole lunch and not even look at Gabby once. He sat down with a sigh, Ginny was almost opposite him, and she gave Harry a smirk when he sat down, before giving Gabrielle a glare.
"So Harry," she said leaning in, Harry shifted uncomfortably in his seat,
"Yeah?" He said grabbing himself some food.
"What do you say about, you and me going somewhere after lunch?"
"I say… no" he said, not rudely, he heard Ginny snort with laughter but when he looked up she pretended to be talking to George. Gabby looked like she didn't hear him, or was just pretending she hadn't; maybe she has selective hearing, Harry thought. Harry turned around to face Mr. Weasley but he was talking to Fleur about his job. Harry sighed and cut into his pie he had in front of him. Fred leaned across Gabby to him,
"Hey Harry how did you destroy the…" he cast a look at Gabby, "thing…"
"We found a spell,"
"Really? That didn't take long!"
"I know we were lucky," he said,
"Sure were! So have you used the products yet?"
"Nah, saving them for the big… thing,"
"Good choice, it'll take us a while to make more of them," he said nodding then going back into a conversation with George.
"What vos George talking about?"
"That was Fred,"
"Well vot vos he talking about?"
"Uhh, Quidditch,"
"Destroy what zing?"
"Uh, don't worry," he said eager to finish the conversation, Gabrielle frowned. Mr. Weasley finished talking to Fleur and turned to Harry,
"So Harry, how are you?"
"I'm ok, how are you?"
"I'm fine thanks. How did you get that scratch above your eye, it looks pretty deep," Harry touched it and shook his head,
"Ah… I see," said Mr. Weasley nodding.
Later that Day
Harry and Ginny had managed to sneak away from Gabrielle, who had been following Harry like a little lost puppy all afternoon. Ginny laughed and rested her head on his shoulder,
"Gee she is so annoying," she laughed, Harry agreed,
"She really does have a thing for you," Ginny added, with a slight frown, "no falling for part veela's!" Harry laughed,
"I won't… or though Fleur…" he said sarcastically, Ginny hit him playfully; Harry kissed her pushing her against the wall, she wrapped her hands around his neck and kissed passionately for what seemed like a life time,
"Harry are you in here?" Called Gabrielle opening the door,
"Oh!" she said giving Ginny the biggest glare he had ever seen, Ginny slowly took her hands from his neck and put one around his waist,
"Yeah, what did you want?" Said Harry straightening his glasses,
"Oh… just wondering vere you were," she said,
"I'll come back later," she continued nodding, "Oh… and Ginny, I zink you are shedding," she said taking a hair from her top and walking out. Ginny rolled her eyes, as did Harry,
"Well she spoiled the moment," muttered Ginny, giving Harry a small kiss,
"I love you Ginny," he said, stroking his hand through her hair,
"Really?" She asked, Harry nodded, "Ok… moment not destroyed! I love you too!"
She said smiling at him and giving him another kiss. When they broke apart, she just beamed at him, entwining her hands in his. Hermione and Ron came in,
"Oh, hi Harry!" Said Hermione, blushing slightly, Harry noticed she was holding hands with Ron.
"Hey! Wondering where you were!" Said Ron; "Gabrielle was out there like 'Vere is 'Arry?'" He imitated rolling his eyes.
"So… have you thought about where the next Horcrux is Harry? Because after the wedding we have to go back to Godric's Hollow, and I'd like to have somewhere on our list." Said Hermione, Harry had actually been thinking about it a lot, he couldn't think of any other place, but one,
"Yeah, I think… I think it's at Hogwarts."
Sorry I took a little longer; life's just been a tad stressful. Thanks to everyone who reviewed, yes, Harry obviously doesn't realise how long it takes a girl to get ready and why….
But guys, I think we can do better with reviews personally; I am not talking to you people who have reviewed, but those people, who are reading my stories apparently 278 people have gone to the eighth chapter (they wouldn't do that, unless they were reading it now would they?)
The first chapter, I understand, because they might think my story is crap and leave, which is best, but those who are reading and not reviewing… tut tut! I understand though if you have one of those computers which takes like … 3 hours to get onto a new page but those people! Come on! Boost the numbers! Let's try to get to 100 by chapter 11! We can do it!
Dorain- first off thankyou for reviewing, secondly, sure it took Dumbledore one year, but it took him that long, to track down the memories. Seeming as Harry had seen them; it was pretty easy for him to make a conclusion.
Fred and Georges stuff might've been better than they usually are, but as people grow older, their products get better; also they are kinda cool, so…yeah,
The reason I didn't add a lot of detail with the Horncrux is because I didn't want to be the size of the book, it isn't bloody 760 pages or anything, and I didn't want go into detail, so I didn't.
Again, the reason Ginny found the book about destroying the Horncrux was because again, I didn't want to go through the whole process of finding it… I wanted to get to the action!
And are you telling me, that if you found your best mate, feeling up your younger brother or sister, that you wouldn't feel like suddenly you hated their guts? Even if you don't, Ron feels like that, he is very protective of Ginny, even though he is ok with Ginny and Harry dating.
Also I would appreciate it if you didn't write a review like this again, or though it is nice for you to add questions and all, it makes me feel like I totally crapped up the story, even if that isn't what you meant.
