Thanks to confusednikki24-7 and kidwithwingz for writing a review.
Both of them each receive the half of the bunch of chocolate frogs I had held aside for last chapter.
Is it just me or does it seem like people review less during the school year.
Anyway this chapter contains Harry's and Ginny's wedding so I better receive a lot of them.
The tenth reviewer will get a golden chocolate frog :D
One of the benefits from that night was the fact that Molly had stopped taking a hundred percent control on Harry's and Ginny's wedding.
The last month before the big day seemed to pass away as if it were water down the drain and before he knew it Harry found himself at his Bachelor evening which Ron had organised.
"You shouldn't have done this."
"Hey! I'm the best man, besides, you organised one as well."
Ron answered while ordering fire whiskey's for the whole bunch.
He had invited Dean, Seamus, George, Bill, Neville and a whole lot of other people Harry had known at Hogwarts.
Bill was just showing Dean pictures of his three months old daughter Victoire of which there was already no doubt that she would inherit her mother's beauty alongside the Weasley's ginger hair colour.
Fleur had always been talking during her pregnancy that she would find it 'orrible if her child would have the same ginger hair as all the Weasley's had but when her daughter was finally born she kept saying that her child was the most beautiful child in the world, perhaps even more beautiful than she would ever be.
It only took a slight second to form a picture from his past in his head, Lupin who was showing a picture of Teddy to him and Fleur, the same Lupin who had died only a few hours later.
He wiped the image away with a few mouthfuls of firewhiskey.
"Not so fast, my little sister and my mum would kill me if I delivered a drunken groom tomorrow, not to mention my wife."
Harry didn't miss the sparkles in his eyes when he mentioned Hermione; the fool was still so amazed by his own luck that he still couldn't believe it himself.
Tomorrow he would go to sleep with his wife as well, it sounded so weird but yet so perfect.
"Ow come on boys! Is this a bachelor party or not?"
Every one turned around at George who had crawled on one of the tables, the soon-to-be-dad looked questioning at all the rest.
---------------------------------------------------
The next morning Harry woke up thanks to Arnold, Ginny's old pygmy puff who apparently escaped his cage again and was now crawling around underneath Harry's blanket.
It could be that it was one of Ginny's tricks to get him out of bed since it became more and more obvious that the only times Arnold would escape his cage would be when Harry had an important day and she wasn't there to wake him up.
Slowly he threw the blanket away looking at Ginny's empty side (she and Teddy stayed at the Burrow) before he crawled out of it, took Arnold in his hands and placed it back in his cage.
He yawned as he slowly walked towards the bathroom, as he looked into the mirror he finally realised that today would be the day that Harry James Potter would no longer be a free man.
It didn't scare him since he wouldn't even know what he would do without Ginny.
The happiness he felt at that moment woke him up more than the shower that followed and the unknown number of fire whiskey's he had last night had no effect on him what so ever.
This was not the case with his best man who was waiting for him downstairs with a huge head ache.
"They're going to kill me, the three of them are going to kill me, they won't rest until they…"
He remained silent at once as Harry placed a cup containing a bright blue potion in front of him.
"For your hang-over." He said smiling as he turned around and walked towards the fridge to get him a small breakfast as well.
He started to whistle the old school-song of Hogwarts and neglected the grimaces of Ron.
"So today you'll become my brother-in-law, hah?"
"We're already more than brother's Ron."
The two men stared at each other; Ron was the first one to break the silence.
"Come on, we better get you ready."
-----------------------------------------------------
Ginny was standing in front of the mirror in her old bed room, a few inches away from the place where she and Harry had kissed on his 17th birthday.
She was so afraid back than to lose him, that he would die or that maybe if he lived and became the hero he would want more than just the poor girl with six older brothers who had to interfere with every boyfriend she had.
But he lived and he didn't want any other girl, he wanted her and only her.
Slowly she dropped on the bed and let the memories of that kiss run through her head again, she had never kissed a boy like that, never felt such a sensation like that and the moment Ron had entered the room she had never felt such a mixture of anger and disappointment run through her body at the same time.
She could hear and see them fight through the window and had burst into tears afterwards.
But today, all of those tears didn't matter any more; she was going to be Mrs. Potter.
Something she had dreamed about ever since she only had a crush on him.
The door slowly opened and Teddy slowly walked in holding a cup of coffee.
The hot coffee splashed dangerously over the side as he took small steps; luckily Ginny was there quickly to take the cup from him.
He looked so pleased with himself that Ginny knew punishing him now would make him burst into tears.
"That was really sweet Teddy but next time I would want you to leave these kind of tasks to Molly."
"Ok mommy."
Ginny's eyes filled with tears as he called her like that, she was the closest thing he had to a mother but she would never be his mother, that would always be Tonks.
Funny, spontaneous, crazy Tonks who had been like a sister for her.
"Molly said I may carry the rings today."
Ginny kneeled next to the small boy.
"That's right and it's a very, very important job. So you'll be even more important than you already are."
Teddy's hair had the same brown colour as his father's, something he did more and more lately and which made Ginny worry that maybe he had started to realise.
At the same moment Molly had come upstairs as well, watching her daughter talk to Teddy.
She smiled at the sight of her little Ginny being an adult woman now before she turned around and walked to her own room.
Ginny could wait another ten minutes to get ready.
------------------------------------------------------------
Harry stood nervously at the altar wearing a brand new dress gown, next to him stood Ron wearing a brand new dress gown as well staring at the bunch of guests who were waiting.
Despite Harry's and Ginny's fame the wedding had the same number of guests as Bill's and Fleur's: the former members of the order of the phoenix, the Weasley family (which coloured the seats into a sea of orange), a few members of the auror department and the players from the Hollyhead harpies.
Suddenly music began to play and everyone turned around to watch Mrs. Weasley walk down the aisle, followed by Hermione who was the maid of honour and who held Teddy's hand as he carried a small pillow containing two golden rings in the other one.
Finally Ginny appeared as she walked down the aisle holding her father's hand.
She looked perfect, almost heavenly.
She wore a white dress with very few details but the fact that it was so simple made it the most beautiful wedding dress Harry had ever seen (not that he was an expert.)
Her hair was beautiful as well, decorated with white roses and around her neck hang the same locket Harry had given her when he asked her if she wanted to continue with him, two weeks after the final battle.
Mr. Weasley handed his daughter's hand to Harry who couldn't keep her eyes of her.
Hermione took place next to Ron and grabbed his hand.
Teddy went to sit down next to Molly, holding the small pillow on his lap.
Harry didn't pay to much attention to the words the man in front of them spoke and before he knew it, it was time to say their vows.
Ginny had this wonderful and perfectly happy look on her face as she started to read hers.
"Harry, I remember this little version of myself, being 11 years old and having a major crush on her brother's best friend who she considered the greatest hero amongst them all even though she wasn't really sure why back than. At least until that boy saved her life from a vicious diary and until that boy as he slowly turned into a man faced so many dangers along the way. Along that same way that man had fallen in love with me and I can't even begin to describe my love for him nor the happiness for standing here today to become your wife. I already told you many times before… Harry, I want to grow old with you, I want to raise Teddy with you and maybe even our own children someday."
Harry tried his best not to kiss her passionately before he would finish his own vows.
"At my first day at school, when I boarded the Hogwarts express this little, crazy girl started to run with the train, follow us. I guessed she was scared to be left alone, biggest mistake I ever made cause as it turned out this little girl was the strongest woman I ever met and not only did she stole my heart but she also sneaked into my dreams and into my thoughts as I slowly started to realise just how much I love her and how much I will always love her. Because to me, she is the goddess of beauty and perfection."
Harry and Ginny both looked at each other and Harry wished he was more capable at holding speeches.
"Than I know pronounce you bounded for life, you may kiss the… bride." The man added as Harry and Ginny started to kiss each other before the man had even finished his sentence.
It was one of those kisses that stood out from all the others, like the one on his 17th birthday, the one when he asked her to move in with him, the one where he proposed to her…
Yet all those kisses were nothing compared to their first kiss as husband and wife.
Ok, so here it is :D
