A Father/Daughter Moment
Ginny Weasley had always been a vision, and today was no exception. Her long red curls cascaded down her back in fiery waves that shined copper in the sunlight. Her deep brown eyes sparkled mischievously behind long, mascara coated lashes. Her face was a mask in perfection; pale and beautiful and coated with a fine layer of Elvin foundation, though it was not like she needed it. She was perfect, she was elegant, and perhaps most importantly, she was more than ready to get married to Draco Malfoy.
And so, after very little preparation in the dressing room, she knew it was time for her to make her grand entrance. With shaking, delicate fingers, she opened the door and walked to the entrance of the Great Hall. Her heels click-clacked in the unnatural silence, as just about everyone in the Harry Potter extended universe was already seated for the wedding.
As she neared the place where she would soon be walked down the aisle by her father, her heart began to flutter. She couldn't believe she was finally doing this. She had been horrified by her supposed "marriage" to Harry Potter in the Deathly Hallows Prophecy, and she was beyond relieved that she would be able to spend the rest of her life with Draco instead, canon or not.
She reached the red carpet in only a few moments' time, and was pleased to see her father there, ready to greet her and lead her in to Draco Malfoy's waiting arms. She afforded him a nervous smile.
"Hi, Daddy" she said in a voice barely above a whisper.
"Hi, baby. You look absolutely beautiful." Arthur Weasley's chest swelled with pride and his face broke into an enormous grin. "Are you ready?"
Ginny gave a tiny nod, and before she could even open her mouth to tell her father how much she loved him, the wedding march began to play.
Arthur Weasley winked. "Knock 'em dead, Ginbug!" And he stuck out his elbow for Ginny to grab hold of. Ginny placed her hand gently in the crook of her father's arm, and together they walked through the giant, arching doorway and into the center of the jubilant room before them.
A/N: Aww, aren't they adorable? I decided to put a cute moment between Arthur and Ginny in here that was too sweet to be made crack!y. Don't worry though, I can promise you that the crack! will return full force in the next chapter! :) Please leave your reviews, I love reading them!
