Day Three

A pillow went flying across the room and hit Harry in the head waking him up. He opened his eyes to see that it was just passed sunrise and rolled over to try to go back to sleep. At this Ron though another pillow at him and said, "Mate if we don't get downstairs soon mum is going to kill us." Harry sighed and got out of bed to get dressed. They were expected to help decorate for the wedding.

Ron and Harry walked down to the kitchen to find a very busy Mrs. Weasley. As soon as she saw them she said "Just some quick toast and out to the garden with you two, and you'll need to leave the girls alone today because they have got a load to do. Oh, and we will be using the house to get ready so make sure that you steer clear of it." They walked across the room, grabbed some toast and headed out to the garden.

When they got out there they were shocked to find Tonks already decorating. "So you all finally decided to get up then?" she said with a smile. Her hair was its usual bubble gum pink and she looked very cheery. Harry could only assume that things were going well with Lupin. Tonks started to direct them on what to do and after a few long hours everything was done.

Harry and Ron had just sat down for a break when Tonks reminded them they still had to get ready. Harry looked at his watch and realized that all the witches and wizards were going to start arriving soon. They were supposed to be ushering them to their seats. They got up and ran up to Ron's room. Once up there Harry opened his trunk to pull out his dress robes. He held them up high and did an anti-wrinkle spell on them. He pulled them on and walked over to the mirror. He grabbed a comb to make an attempt to tame his unruly hair. Giving up, he turned to look at Ron. He was glad to see that Ron had brand new dress robes. They were far better than the ones Ron had in fourth year for the Yule ball. Ron turned to Harry and said, "Aren't they great? Fleur insisted that Mum buy brand new ones for me for the wedding."

"They're great" said Harry. "Look we need to get down there. Lupin just arrived and more will be coming soon." Harry watched out the window as Lupin walked over and hugged Tonks. Tonks now wore a pink dress that matched her hair.

Ron followed Harry down to the garden were the two of them began to seat guests. It wasn't hard to tell who to put on either side. All of the Weasley's had that same red hair. While all of the women from Fleur's family had that same veela hair. When Fleur's grandmother showed up Harry had to hold Ron by his robes as he pointed where to sit.

Once all of the guests had been seated they then sat themselves. They were quickly joined by Hermione who had smoothed her hair like she had done for the Yule ball. She looked beautiful. She pointed to the opening in the garden as the music began to play. The sight that Harry saw would stay with him for the rest of his life. Ginny was absolutely gorgeous. Harry's heart skipped a beat as he watched her walk up the isle and stand at the front. Her hair was done perfectly with twist and curls and Harry had a feeling that Ginny had done some of her own alterations on the dress. He was certain that it had not been that low cut the day before. Gabrielle and Fleur looked beautiful as well, but that beauty could never compare to Ginny's.

After the ceremony Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny all sat together at a table eating cake. After a while Hermione elbowed Ron in the side. Ron sat up and asked Ginny for a dance. Shocked but happy to dance she said yes. Shortly after they had gotten up Hermione looked at Harry and said, "Well why don't we go join them?" Harry agreed and they got up to dance. They had only been dancing for about a minute when with a quick twirl and turn Harry realized he was now facing Ginny and that Hermione and Ron were dancing away.

They stood there awkwardly for a moment until Ginny just put her hands around Harry's neck and started dancing with him. Harry placed his hands on her waist and pulled her in closer. Several songs past but they didn't stop dancing. Neither of them wanted to let go. They wanted to hold on forever. As Harry held her close he was consumed by that sweet flowery sent that was Ginny. They looked deep into each others eyes. Ginny just couldn't get enough of Harry's magnificent green eyes.

Harry couldn't take in any longer. He pulled her in closer and kissed her. As there lips met the world seemed right again and for a brief moment Harry felt the world's pressure lift off of his shoulders. He had missed kissing her desperately, the way her lips tasted and how they caressed his softly. They departed from the crowds not saying anything. Finding a soft patch of grass they laid down in each others arms and held each other. They looked up at the stars and Harry said softly, "I love you Ginny", and they stayed there for the rest of the night not talking for fear of waking up from the dream that they had both so often visited, the dream of being together.
