The Untold Story Of Harry and Ginny
Part 27
"Ah, a nice ice cream on a nice day," Harry sighed as he, Ginny and his godson, Teddy, ate their ice cream. Andromeda had asked Harry to watch him for the day.
It was April the year after Harry had asked Ginny to marry him.
"Harry, I'm finish!" Teddy exclaimed and jumped off of Ginny's lap to show Harry his finished cup of the cream of ice.
"Can you go put it in the trash can?" Harry asked him.
"Yes," Teddy replied and went off to the trash.
"…So, you were glad you fell asleep in my arms?" Harry wondered to Ginny quietly, referring to the night Harry proposed.
"Mmm," Ginny hummed. "Very." Harry felt something on his leg and found it to be Ginny's foot stroking his leg slightly.
He smirked at her and licked his ice cream spoon, not taking his eyes off of her. She laughed at this, and kicked him playfully under the table.
"Oh, so you can be suggestive but I can't?" Harry whispered so that no one around could hear. This is when Teddy came back.
"What's that, Harry?" he asked.
Harry looked down at him and wondered, "What's what?"
"What does sugge-" but Harry had already covered Teddy's mouth and placed him on his lap.
"You'll find out later, okay?" Harry reassured Teddy. Teddy pouted and crossed his arms, his hair changing into a dark red.
"Oh, Teddy don't be mad," said Ginny. "I didn't learn until I was older either, and I was glad I waited."
This made Teddy feel a bit better; Harry and Ginny could tell because his hair turned a light blue. Harry smiled at this.
"Can I have another ice cream?" Teddy inquired and looked up at Harry.
Harry pretended to be surprised, "But you just had one!"
"Pleeeeeeeeeeeease!" Teddy begged. Harry shook his head.
"If you have another one, your stomach might hurt," Harry said, trying to persuade his godson.
"Okay," Teddy said and pouted again.
"Oh, cheer up," Ginny comforted. "Maybe next time we see you there will be ice cream involved."
This is when a smile appeared on Teddy's face.
"When?" he asked excitedly.
"…Hmm," Ginny began. "Well Harry and I are awfully busy for the next few days…so probably next week at the wedding."
Harry's heart seemed to have skipped a beat when she said this, and then the two of them simultaneously looked at each other and repeated, "Next week at the wedding."
They both smiled at each other, and Teddy raised an eyebrow, not knowing what was going on.
*StarStarStar*
Holy crap on the ninth cloud. It was today.
Harry was adjusting the tie around his neck, and trying to breathe evenly.
Ginny was adjusting her veil on her head, and trying to breathe evenly.
"Oh, Gin, you look so nervous," Hermione said and walked up to her when she was looking in the mirror.
"That's because I am, Mione," Ginny laughed and brought her hands down from her veil. Hermione placed her hands and her arm on Ginny's shoulders and looked at her on the mirror. Her dress was beautiful, and she had done her makeup so that it shined in all the right spots and ways.
"You. Look. Amazing," Hermione said, separating each word. Ginny smiled at Hermione's reflection.
"Thank you," she thanked. "So do you."
Hermione smiled back up at her and wondered, "Are you ready?"
Ginny took in a deep breath and nodded.
"Tell me it's going to be okay and that marriage is so much better than it seems," Ginny exhaled and closed her eyes while she said this.
Hermione chuckled and nodded, "Yes. It's amazing. You're officially the other's."
Ginny smiled softly at the thought of Harry being hers and she being his.
"Girls, we have to get lined up!" Moll Weasley said as she climbed up the steps. "The men have already started walking out!"
Ginny and Hermione then scurried out of Ginny's room and went down the stairs and lined up. Victoire had gotten to be the flower girl again, and Teddy brought the rings down. Hermione stood in front of Ginny with her elegant dress on, and soon walked out before Ginny.
Then, the music changed, and everyone stood up. Ginny walked down the aisle with her father's arm in hand. She saw her teammates from the Hollyhead Harpies, her other close friends, Aunt Muriel, and finally, Harry. She saw him, and only him, from then on and up to the podium. She thought of the time when she had picked out the dress, when she they had gone to the Marriot the night Harry popped the question, how bad Harry felt after George took him out to the bachelor party when he got back the next day, and the time they threw away the newspaper article that said "A Very Potter Wedding Soon to Come" by Rita Skeeter. When she got there, Arthur handed Ginny's hand to Harry's who took it softly. Then, the two faced the podium and let the ceremony begin.
They both said "I do" and finally, the moment the two of them had been waiting for had come, when he said, "I now pronounce you bonded for life!"
Golden sparks flew and Ginny jumped on Harry, who wrapped his arms around her and kept her off her feet.
"Not too long, now," George called so that only the bridal party, men, and the first row could see. Hermione eyed him and pursed her lips, but it went away shortly. Harry then released her and looked at George with a devious smile on his face and narrowed his eyes. It soon vanished and then he took hands with his bride and walked down the pathway to the tent for the reception.
"Guess what I arranged?" Ginny said as she walked backwards, leading Harry onto the dance floor.
"What?" Harry wondered and side smiled briefly.
"…You'll see when it comes to our first dance," Ginny replied and bit her lower lip, smirking.
Then, the two of them sat down at the huge table that sat all of the ushers and bridal party. Harry and Ginny took the two leading seats. Ron was the best man, who made his speech first.
"Well, personally, I knew this was going to happen when it was the summer of my second year at Hogwarts. Did I like it at first? Of course not." This is another one of the many spots where the audience laughed. "But I'd rather it be my best mate than anyone else. So I learned to live with it, and I couldn't be happier with the results."
Ron turned to Ginny and Harry, who smiled up.
"So, I'd like to propose-"
"It's about time," George whispered as if he was talking about Parvati.
"A toast," Ron said, hearing George and eyeing him, "to Harry and Ginny. Harry you've been like a brother to me ever since you let me sit in the same compartment with you on the Hogwarts Express. And Ginny…well you're my sister."
"That's all I expected you to say, Ron," Ginny muttered so only a few could hear her. Harry chuckled.
"And I love you," Ron said and smiled goofily. Ginny rolled her eyes and laughed, raising her glass of fire whisky. Teddy began to raise Harry's when Harry took it gently from him, getting a laugh from the audience.
"To Harry and Ginny," Ron continued. "May the rest of your life together be fantastic and great and adventurous."
And with that, everyone rook a sip of his or her fire whisky. When Ron walked passed Harry and Ginny, he added quietly, "But not too adventurous."
"I won't if you won't, mate," Harry whispered back to him.
"You know I won't," Ron chuckled.
"Then I won't," Harry teased Ron.
Ginny nudged him slightly and muttered, "I'm right here."
Ron rolled his eyes at Harry, but ended up laughing about it.
"I'm just defending the fact that we're each others now, not anyone else's," slurped Harry after he took another sip of his fire whisky. Then, Ginny caught something out of the corner of her eyes. George was standing up. Harry immediately turned and waved his hand for him to sit down. The other ushers found this funny. Harry smiled and shrugged, then held up his glass briefly and taking another sip, Ginny doing the same thing. They both chuckled to each other after they were done. Then, Harry stood up and held out a hand to Ginny. She took it and then the two of them walked to the dance floor.
Harry placed and hand on her waist, and Ginny put a hand on his shoulder and then they took the other's hand and when the music played, Harry smiled down at her and chuckled a bit. He pressed his forehead to hers and stared into her eyes. Then, they heard a little click on the glass. They both looked in the direction it was coming from, and saw that Neville had banged on it from the main table.
Oh, Neville Harry thought. Others joined him, and finally, the whole tent had irrupted with the sound of a fork on the glass.
Ginny smiled and turned Harry face back to her gently, then, brought his lips to hers. He smiled as she did this. And softly kissed her back. After they unconfined each other, Ginny rested her head on Harry's shoulder (barely).
"Nice song choice," Harry whispered barely moving his lips as they spun slowly in a circle to "Here I am." Ginny giggled.
The song soon ended and changed to the traditional dance. Ginny and Harry danced to this, and then George and Hermione accompanied them along with Molly and Arthur.
"Oh, look!" Ginny laughed and pointed to Teddy and Victoire dancing together. Harry laughed. Teddy looked ever at him and Harry winked. Teddy's hair turned pink.
After this song ended, one more was played.
"This has to be the most sentimental wedding ever," Harry laughed with Ginny.
Yeah, yeah cause it goes on and on and on
And it goes on and on and on, yeah
Ginny laughed and they started twisting their hips and spinning. It was even more hilarious to see all of her friends and family dancing to this music.
I throw my hands up in the air sometimes
Saying ayo, gotta let go
I wanna celebrate and live my life
Saying ayo, baby lets go
Molly came over to the two of them and said, "You guys have to get ready to go to your honey moon!"
Ginny looked over at Harry and asked, "What? Where do you plan to take me?"
"You'll see," Harry answered as they two of them walked inside the burrow and up to Ginny's room.
"Ugh you aren't going to tell me? Harry!" Ginny scowled.
"Ginny, you're just going to have to wait and see," Harry answered and took his trunk and began to finish packing his and Ginny's things.
"You packed my stuff?" Ginny growled.
"Well of course I did," replied Harry. "You couldn't pack your own things since you don't know where we're going." Ginny looked bewildered.
"It's not like I haven't seen you in anything you didn't want me to see," Harry whispered. Ginny giggled and play-pushed him.
"…And Hermione helped so it should be okay," Harry assured. Ginny let out a sigh of relief. Harry then sealed the truck and placed it on the floor. Then, the two walked down the steps and out of the house, on the way there, getting a small cup of ice cream.
"What's that for?" Ginny wondered, following him.
"Teddy," Harry replied. "Remember? I promised him ice cream."
Ginny laughed at him as the two walked out of her home.
Everyone cheered as they walked between the crowds and smiled and waved. Teddy was in front of the crowd to the left, so Harry looked down at him and handed him the ice cream with a spoon.
"Share with Victoire," Harry ordered quietly so that only he and Victoire, who was standing next to him. Then, Ginny and Harry walked out to the flying car and grabbed their brooms on the way. Then, they flew off into the dark blue sky, Ginny awaiting what was to come.
*StarStarStar*
"Gin, wake up," Ginny heard a voice whisper in her ear. "Gin!"
Ginny moaned and her eyes fluttered opened. She had been lying against the door of the flying car, apparently sleeping for a long time because it was light outside.
"Mmm," she moaned again. "Harry where are we?"
"We are in…a place you told me you've been wanting to go to for a very long time," Harry replied vaguely. Ginny rolled her eyes at him and sat up.
"Don't you remember?" Harry asked her. "I thought that information would be enough. That and you got to look at all the clothes I packed for the both of us."
"Wait…Harry, you packed warm clothes," Ginny began. "…Are we…Oh, Harry we're in New Zealand!"
Harry smiled and nodded his head.
"I'll explain everything when we get to the hotel," Harry muttered as Ginny rested her head on Harry's shoulder.
"Okay," Ginny sighed, seeming satisfied enough and looked out of the window at the orange sky.
"What time is it?" Ginny wondered.
"5:00," Harry responded. Ginny sighed again and closed her eyes.
"That early? Wow."
"Well, we did fly all the way here," Harry said, sounding a little more reasonable.
"When will we be there?" Ginny questioned.
"In about…now," Harry answered. Ginny's eyes snapped opened and she sat up.
They were landing in back of the hotel in a small space.
"We'll leave everything here for now except our trunk," Harry told her. Ginny nodded and then, the two got out of the invisible car. Harry looked around and then took out his wand, and said some protective charms quickly. Then, he tucked his wand back in his pocket and covered it with his shirt as he and Ginny walked to the around the hotel to the front of it hand in hand. Ginny smiled and opened the thick, glass doors and walked straight up to the counter.
"I assume you're Ginny Weasley," the counter person said. Ginny furrowed her eyebrows at her and then looked at Harry who was coming up behind her. "Well, actually Ginny Potter now." This was the first time she heard her new last name used with her first.
"How'd you know that?" Ginny wondered, a smile still on her face. Harry had reached the counter at this time.
"You're husband said that there'd be a ginger girl rushing to the counter once you'd get here," she replied. "Oh, and by the way, congratulations."
Ginny smiled widely.
"Here are your keys, Mrs. Potter," she said and gave the gitty Ginny the keys. Ginny smiled and scurried over to the elevator.
"Thanks, Dana," Harry thanked and walked over to the elevator where Ginny was waiting. It came quickly and the two walked into it and pressed floor 5. Then, Ginny quickly rushed down the hall to room 504 once the elevator had reached the 5th floor.
Ginny inserted the key and then walked into the massive room. She gasped. Her heart skipped a beat. She couldn't believe this! There was a living room with a huge television, a piano, and a mini kitchen.
"Ginny," Harry said from behind her. "Welcome to Wellington."
Ginny turned around to him and jumped onto him, hugging him tightly. He held her and hugged her back.
"Well, well, well," Harry heard a familiar voice speak that he hadn't for a while. He set Ginny down, and she let go of him, hearing the voice. Harry spun around.
"…Poppy? What are you doing here?" Harry said and went over to him.
"Vacation," Pop answered and held out his arms and pretended to sob. "Now give me a hug!" Harry laughed and hugged his former auror partner.
"Now I see where you're getting your jokes from," Ginny murmured. Harry let go of Pop. Pop didn't let go though. He had closed his eyes and kept on hugging Harry. Since Pop could not see, Harry shook his head and mouthed, "No."
Ginny giggled slightly. Finally, pop let go of him and sighed.
"Wow," he exhaled. "Long time no see. Both of you," he added as Ginny walked up to Harry. She smiled and said, "Hi, Poppy."
"Are you here with anyone?" Harry inquired as Ginny wrapped an arm around his waist and he wrapped an arm around her shoulders.
"Yeah, OH! I want you to meet someone," he responded and went into the room diagonally across the hall. "Hey, Talon, I want you to meet some people. Janet, come here!"
Harry smiled as Ginny furrowed her eyebrows.
"Who's Talon and who's Janet?" Ginny wondered.
"Janet is Pop's wife…I think," Harry replied. "And Talon is…"
"This is my son," Poppy introduced as he picked up the little boy who fell into his father's arms.
"Pop why haven't I met him before?" Harry asked as Pop carried him over to Harry and Ginny.
"Well someone didn't owl me like I told them to," Poppy accused Harry.
"Well someone else forgot to tell me where to owl to," Harry defended and crossed his arms across his chest.
"…Oh yeah," Pop said. "But even the wedding! Harry, I'm disappointed. I would've wanted to walk down that aisle before you and line up with all the other guys."
"Woops," Harry said and shrugged. Poppy laughed briefly.
"Pop, why'd you want me to come out-" the four heard a voice say from across the hall getting louder as she got closer.
"Oh, well Poppy has certainly told me a lot about you, Harry Potter," Janet said and stood next to Pop. Janet had long, blonde, wavy hair down to about her waist and big, blue eyes just like Harry had seen in a picture Poppy once showed her. Harry smiled and held out a hand.
"And I've heard a lot about you too, Janet," he returned as Janet shook his hand. "It's nice to finally meet you."
"You as well," Janet smiled. "Oh, and this must be Ginny. From what I can tell, congratulations." She said this as she looked down at what Ginny was wearing.
Ginny smiled and replied, "Thank you very much."
"Well I'm sorry Poppy is keeping you from your honeymoon, as I'm still guessing," Janet apologized. "We'll leave you to your business."
Harry smiled and responded, "Oh, he didn't intrude. It's perfectly fine."
"Well good," Janet said. "It was nice to meet you. I'll be in the room - and it's early morning he should be asleep," she adjoined to Poppy. Poppy nodded in the affirmative and then looked down at his son.
"Wave 'hi,' Tay," Poppy instructed. Talon smiled but hid his face in his dad's shirt briefly. When he looked back up, Poppy picked up one of Talon's hands using his own and waved it at Harry and Ginny. Ginny smiled down at him and waved back, which made the youngster smile.
Harry did the same and greeted, "Hi Talon."
A little, "Ah," was the response from the little boy.
"He has his mother's hair and nose," Ginny remarked, "and your eyes."
Pop nodded, "Yes. At least he has one thing of mine."
Harry rolled his eyes, knowing that Poppy did not mean what Ginny thought he meant. Pop noticed this and winked at Harry who just shook his head slowly.
"Well, it was great to see you again," Poppy remarked. "I'll make sure to come by and see you again so you can know where to owl me."
Harry nodded and answered, "Will do. See you later, Pop."
"Bye," Ginny finished right before Harry had closed the door to their suite.
"Oh, Harry, he's so adorable!" Ginny exclaimed before rushing over to their massive bed and falling back on it.
"He is," Harry said and fell back next to her. Ginny kicked off her shoes along with Harry and they turned to face each other.
"…We should invite them over sometime," Ginny murmured. Harry agreed with a grunt and a nod.
"Mmm," Ginny moaned and closed her eyes. "But that is not why we came here."
Harry's head spun to face her slowly, and he smirked. Then, he bent down and kissed her neck softly, slowly moving up to her jaw.
"Mmm," he hummed. "No…it's not."
Ginny smiled sideways slightly while he did this. Eventually, Harry had reached her lips, and pressed them to hers gently. Ginny wrapped her arms around his neck and he placed a hand on her back, bringing her closer to him. After a few moments, Ginny pushed away and sat up to Harry's disappointment. He followed her and looked at her.
"You know, I think my sense of humor from my dad is kicking into me," Harry concluded. "That's probably where I'm getting it from."
Ginny looked at him and laughed.
Harry then continued, "But don't worry. I'll never be as bad as he was."
"Oh, I know you won't," said Ginny and smirked devilishly. Harry chuckled, knowing that she wasn't referring to him mocking Snape or anything. He scooted closer to her, about to prove her wrong.
"I never did get to tell you how beautiful you look," he whispered in her ear.
"Mhm," Ginny said and stood up. "Too bad I'm not going to anymore."
"And why is that?" Harry wondered as Ginny crept closer to him in between his knees.
"Because it's not going to be on much longer," Ginny said as she softly kissed his head.
"With it on or with it off, you're still amazingly beautiful to me." Ginny giggled and began to loosen Harry's tie as he traced up her back and unzipped her dress. She had his tie off quickly and had thrown it to the side along with his jacket and was now working on his button-up shirt. Harry had finally gotten to the bottom of the zipper, which was when both of them stopped what they were doing for a moment. Ginny quickly stepped out of it and pushed Harry back and hovered over him, kissing him passionately. Harry felt her smooth, bare back as she did this, and quickly flipped her over. She had gotten the buttons to his shirt undone and they both quickly shoved it off of his body. Then, she worked on his dress pants.
Harry moved down fro her mouth to her jaw, neck (where he slightly nipped it), and collarbone. Ginny had gotten the zipper and button undone and pushed them off with her feet, straddling Harry along the way. Once his drawers were off, he placed her leg around his waist again and kissed her lips fervently again.
The last remaining clothes had disappeared quickly, and the night turned into one they would definitely never forget, both telling each other how much they loved each other every so often.
