Harry woke up to the sound of the Weasley family attempting to set up a tent for the wedding. His wedding. Today was the day he married Ginny, today Ron married Hermione. He went downstairs to find Ron. He found Ron sitting at the kitchen table with a large plate of eggs and a cup of tea. "Where are the girls?" he asked, grabbing some eggs and sitting next to Ron. "They went to Mum's place, said they had to start getting ready." Ron said. "There are still five hours left till the wedding." Harry said confused. "I know but girls are crazy." "Agreed mate".

Harry was just about to put on his Gryffindor tie, when Ron walked in. Ron was surprisingly already in his dress robes, tie and all. "Harry, I can't find Neville. He was supposed to be giving all the flowers to Mum, but he's not in the garden." Just then there was knock on the door and Neville Longbottom stood in the doorway. "Neville!" Harry and Ron screamed in unison. "Hey, Harry, Ron. Honestly I was a bit scared when Harry asked me to be his best man. 'Thought something happened to Ron. But I got it when Ron asked me if I still had my Gryffindor tie." Neville said as he entered the room, and began tying his tie.
Hermione was about finished with Ginny's hair when there was a knock on the door, Hermione opened to find with the thirty minute warning. "Ugh where is Luna, she is the maid of honour and we need her." Hermione said with annoyance. "I'm sure she'll be here. just calm down Hermione." Ginny replied, at that moment the door burst open and in walked Luna Lovegood. "Luna!" the girls chorused in perfect unison as they ran to hug her. "Ginny, Hermione, it's been too long, I hope that the nargles haven't gotten you." Luna said. "Oh and have you heard the news? Neville and I are engaged and he is going to be the Herbology Professor at Hogwarts!" She exclaimed. "Well thats great Luna but I have to go find Ron, he wants to give me brotherly advice, whatever that means." Ginny said looking a bit scared. " I'll come with you, I want to talk to Harry one last time as his best friend. cause now I will be his sister in law." Hermione replied standing up.
Ginny found Ron in the garden. "Ron, I'm here for your brotherly advice." she said as she entered the garden. Ron's jaw dropped when he saw his younger sister. She was wearing a pure white dress, it was strapless with a sweetheart neckline. It was tight until her hips where it puffed out into a full skirt. She had a scarlet ribbon tied around her waist, and the whole dress shimmered slightly. Ginny's Weasley red hair was pinned at the front and then cascaded down her back in ringlets. "You look wow, Harry is going to cry." Ron said as soon as the initial shock wore off. "Thanks" Ginny said looking up at her brother. "Look I just wanted to give you this." he said pulling a book out of his pocket. "No matter how much it pains me, I think you will find it useful." He handed her the book and she read the title A Witch's Guide to Wooing Famous Wizards In Bed. "Really Ronald? So mature. Plus I think we both know that I won't have a problem with that." Ginny said and stormed off.
Hermione found Harry in Ron's room at the burrow. "You look a bit nervous Harry, are you alright?" she asked as she entered the room." I'm fine Herm.." Harry stopped mid sentence when he saw Hermione. "Whoa. Ron is gonna freak" he said gobsmacked. "Thank you Harry." Hermione replied. She was wearing a bright white lace dress that hugged her body and the fell into a full skirt. A gold ribbon was tied around her waist, and her normally rowdy curls were tied up in a neat knot on the top of her head, a few loose curls fell around her face. "I just wanted to give you this." Harry said handing her a book, she looked down and read the title A Witch's Guide to Stubborn Wizards in Bed. "Very mature Harry. I have obviously read up on the topic and I will be going now." with that she left a very disgusted Harry sitting on Ron's bed.
Guests started to arrive and Harry and Ron walked down the aisle to the altar to get the wedding started. Then the music started and Neville and Luna walked down the aisle, to start the bridal procession. When they got to the end of the aisle and took their places next to Harry and Ron. Then the Minister said " Witches and Wizards please rise for the arrival of the brides." The whole crowd stood as Mr. Weasley appeared at the end of aisle with Hermione and Ginny. Harry's heart skipped a beat, Ginny looked by far the best she ever had. Harry felt tears start streaming down his face, he was going to marry Ginny. Ron looked down to the end of the aisle where Hermione was. He felt like he was going to faint. Hermione looked even prettier than she did at the Yule Ball, and this time it was ten times better because she was his. Ron looked over to see Harry crying and his eyes began to fill with tears. When they reached the altar Mr. Weasley kissed both girls on the cheek and sat down next to Mrs. Weasley. ( who had been crying since the morning.) "Would both couples please join hands for the saying of the vows, and the exchanging of rings." the Minister said as both couples joined hands. "Mr. Potter please vow your love to Miss. Weasley." Harry took a deep breath and started, " Ginevra Molly Weasley, honestly I think I have been in love with you since sixth year. This is a dream come true. When I first started to fancy you I thought it would never work. For one thing you're my best mate's sister. But I realized that none of that matters, because I love you. I love you and one day you are going to give me the one thing I have never had, a family, and for that I am forever grateful." Harry finished. By this time not only was Ginny crying but the majority of the guests were too. "Miss. Weasley, please vow your love to ." the Minister said. " Harry James Potter, I never thought that my schoolgirl crush would turn into us getting married. I have been in love with you since 5th year. I know that this is hard cause I'm Ron's sister, but I don't care I love you Harry. And you always have a family with me." Ginny finished, tears streaming down her face, as Harry squeezed her hand. "Mr. Weasley please vow your love to Miss. Granger." the Minister said to Ron. Ron took a breath and started " Hermione Jean Granger, I never thought this moment would happen. You are the smartest, most clever, and beautiful witch I know. I have loved you for a very long time and I thought you should know that I've fancied you since third year. I'm sorry for all the times I have broken your heart and I will try my best never to do it again. I love you." He finished. Hermione who had already been crying, could barely control her sobbing. "Miss. Granger please vow your love to ." the Minister said trying not to cry himself. "Ronald Bilius Weasley, I love you. I always will no matter how many times you break my heart, something always brings me back to you. I have fancied you since third year as well. I love you so much and I don't know what else I can say besides I love you Ron." Hermione finished and fell into Ron's arms. " Now for the official ring giving. Do you Harry James Potter take Ginerva Molly Weasley to be your lawfully wedded wife to have and to for as long as you both shall live?" the Minister asked. "I do." Harry said sliding the ring onto Ginny's finger. "And do you Ginevra Molly Weasley take Harry James Potter to be your lawfully wedded wizard to have and to hold for as long as you both shall live?" the Minister said again. "I do." Ginny said sliding a ring onto Harry's finger. " Very well. Do you Ronald Bilius Weasley take Hermione Jean Granger to be your lawfully wedded wife to have and to hold for as long as you both shall live?" the Minister repeated. "I do." Ron said sliding a ring onto Hermione's finger. "And do you Hermione Jean Granger take Ronald Bilius Weasley to be your lawfully wedded wizard to have and to hold for as long as you both shall live?" "I do." Hermione said sliding a ring on Ron's finger. "Very well, Mr. Potter, Mr. Weasley you may kiss your brides." the Minister finished smiling. The two couples kissed and the Minister waved his wand to seal the Wedding Vow in place. With that the two couples ran down the aisle and back to the Burrow.
The reception was in a large tent set up on the Burrow's front lawn. It was decorated with the Gryffindor colors and the Weird Sisters were playing near the dance floor. George Weasley got up on stage and announced "Please turn your attention to the dance floor where the two couples will be forced to do the first dance." Harry took Ginny by the waste and began to dance. "So what did Ron get you for the wedding?" Harry whispered in her ear. "He got me a book called A Witch's Guide to Wooing Famous Wizards In Bed." Ginny said in his ear. "Well I don't think you're going to have any issues with that Gin. We can test my little theory out later tonight." Harry whispered in her ear as he spun her. Meanwhile… "So what did Harry get you as a wedding gift?" Ron asked as he began to dance. " He got me a book." Hermione replied. " What exactly is this book called?" Ron asked raising one eyebrow. "If you must know its called A Witch's Guide to Stubborn Wizards In Bed." Hermione said a sly smile playing across her face. "Well you can see if that books tricks work later Mrs. Weasley." Ron said winking leaving Hermione on the dance floor shocked. A few minutes later both couples were sitting in the garden, trying to get some peace and quiet when a familiar voice said "Well congratulations, Harry, Ron." Harry and Ron spun around to find Draco Malfoy sitting on the bench across from them. "WHAT THE BLOODY HELL ARE YOU DOING AT MY WEDDING MALFOY?" Ron said angrily. "I'm here to thank you for saving my life a year ago." Draco said. The two couples looking shocked. "Owl me if you would like to have a firewhiskey at the Leaky Caldron. Oh and I will be getting married on August 28th at the Manor and you all are welcome to attend." Draco finished getting up and he spoke when he reached the gate " Oh and Weasley, I will never go in the Drawing room again." and with that he left the garden.
That night when they got back to the Burrow things took a turn down Dirty lane. Harry was lying in bed when Ginny got into bed next to him, he noticed without any clothing on. She smiled and Harry said " Well now we know you definitely do not need that book Gin." Ginny just smiled and began to snog him senseless. Ron was sitting in bed when suddenly a very underdressed Hermione was snogging him. "Yeah I don't think I'll need you to use Harry's present." Ron said winking. "It's okay Ronald we all know I won't ever need that book." she winked.
