HERE WE GO AGAIN
Disclaimer: Don't own Harry Potter, just this story.
Author's Note: Ok, Chapter 3! Sorry for the wait, (If you have Twitter, you'll know what I mean) but I'm planning on adding a good few chapters after this! There's been a slight time leap and it's now Harry & Ginny's big day! George and Hermione are better friends, but no love yet! Enjoy
"Where's my veil? Mum are you ready yet? Hermione will you find Luna? She's wandered off again, are we on time? Is-" Ginny was cut off from her frantic ramblings.
"Calm down dear, everything's fine, the wedding's not for an hour yet, relax" Molly soothed her daughter.
"But I, and everything's…" Ginny mumbled to herself as her mother sat her down in an armchair.
"Gin, everything's ready, you have nothing to worry about, just relax, I'll do your make-up once Luna's done your hair, then you just have to put on your dress, go outside and marry the man of your dreams" I told my friend.
"You make it sound so simple" Ginny sighed as Luna entered the room.
"That's because it is simple, just relax. You'll be fine" I smiled. I wondered what I'd be like on my own wedding day. Ginny was worried about marrying someone she'd been dating for years and was madly in love with. I was marrying someone I didn't love, and had no choice but to marry.
Luna began styling Ginny's hair and I went outside for some fresh air. I walked around the house and saw Arthur, Harry and the Weasley boys putting up a tent that looked similar to the one used at Bill and Fleur's wedding.
I smiled gently and walked back towards the house. I went inside and Luna was finishing Ginny's hair. She had taken two strands at the front and plaited them at the the back. The rest of her hair fell down past her shoulders.
"You can do her make-up now, I'll put her veil on when she's dressed" Luna told me.
"Ok, great" I smiled before walking over to Ginny. I pulled a chair up in front of her and started to apply her make-up, which was on a small table next to my chair.
"Are you a bit more relaxed now?" I asked.
"Yeah, I'm ok. I just can't believe it's finally my wedding day" Ginny smiled.
"I know, but still, it's a reason to celebrate" I smiled.
"Exactly. It'll be Percy next. Then you-" Ginny hesitated.
"I know Gin. I know" I sighed.
I finished her make-up and Luna placed a soft white veil onto her hair.
Ginny stood up and smoothed down her dress.
"You look lovely" I smiled.
"Thanks 'Mione" She smiled.
"Ready when you are" George came into the room.
He smiled at me and Luna before they left to go outside.
"My little sis all grown up" George smiled.
"I'm not your kid sister anymore" Ginny laughed.
"Time flies. Dad's coming now and you can go then, I'll see you outside" George told his sister before heading to the door.
"Ok, thanks George" Ginny smiled before turning to adjust her veil and pick up a small bouquet of assorted flowers.
"Hey Gin?" George called as he left the room.
"Yeah?" Ginny turned around to face her brother.
"Fred would've loved to have been here for this. He always hoped you'd marry Harry" George smiled slightly before leaving.
I fidgeted slightly as I stood at the top of the tent with Luna. We were standing to the left of the Ministry official who had arrived to perform the ceremony and Ron and George were standing next to Harry.
It was the first time I'd seen Ron since we got our letters. He looked better, as if more relaxed. Luna didn't say much about him but said he only got back from a ministry assignment two nights ago.
I smiled at Luna. If Ron had to marry anyone but me I was glad it was her, she was a friend, and she wasn't Lavender, thank Merlin.
I heard people stand up and looked down to the other end of the tent. Ginny and Arthur were walking up through the tent. Harry looked over his shoulder and smiled. Molly had tears flooding down her cheeks and I could swear I saw George and Ron tear up a bit.
Ginny stopped to hug Molly and Arthur before she joined Harry.
I took her bouquet and smiled at her.
She grinned and squeezed Harry's hand.
The ministry official looked around the room and everyone took their seats.
"Welcome, Ladies and Gentlemen, to the marriage of Harry James Potter and Ginevra Molly Weasley" She began, before taking out her wand.
"Now, do you, Harry James Potter take this woman to be your lawful wedded wife? To have and to hold, to honour and cherish, to remain loyal to till death do you part?" She stated.
"I do" Harry smiled.
"And do you, Ginevra Molly Weasley take this man to be your lawful wedded husband? To have and to hold, to honour and cherish, to remain loyal to till death do you part?" She repeated.
"I do" Ginny beamed.
"Then I thereby declare you man and wife, to spend the rest of your days as a happily married couple" She smiled, before pointing her wand at their entwined hands.
A thin silver beam formed around their hands before elapsing again.
Harry beamed and kissed Ginny as everyone stood up and cheered.
I smiled and clapped. Harry and Ginny made their way out of the tent followed by everyone else. I caught George's eye briefly before we left.
"Whoo!" Someone's voice cheered as Harry and Ginny danced together for the first time.
I smiled and sat down at an empty table. The sun was setting and a shadow was flickering on the tent. Fairy lights were strung around the outside of the tent and several tables were set up inside.
I watched as more people began to dance and have a good time. I decided to go for some air. I stepped outside the tent and went over to a quiet spot and sat down. I pulled my knees to my chest and hugged them. I heard footsteps approach me and released my knees, letting my legs fall down on the ground. I crossed my right foot over my left one and leaned back on my hands.
"Mind if I join you?" A familiar voice asked. I couldn't help but smile.
"Of course" I smiled.
Ron sat down beside me and sighed.
"Some day eh?" He leaned back on his hands.
"Yeah. I'm really happy for them" I smiled.
"Me too. Listen, I really wanna apologize for the way I acted the day we got our letters, I was just angry and I didn't mean to take it out on you, I mean, it's hard enough that you have to marry someone else, but my brother" Ron sighed.
"Ron, I understand, George is a great guy, and I'm glad I have to marry him instead of someone I don't know, or worse, Malfoy. It's hard for me to accept you have to marry someone else, but we have no choice. I really hope we can remain friends" I squeezed his hand gently.
"We'll always be friends" He smiled gently.
"We better head back" I smiled as I stood up. Ron stood up and we walked back to to the tent. I hugged Ron before George came over to me.
"Care to dance?" He asked, holding out his hand.
"I didn't think you could dance" I teased.
"There's a lot of things you don't know about me Granger" George grinned as he led me to the centre of the tent. Several other people were already dancing including Ron and Luna. I stifled a laugh. Luna was twirling around and Ron looked helpless.
George placed one arm around my waist and the other took my hand. I placed my free hand in his and he grinned before twirling us around.
We glided around the room, faces blended into blurs of light and George's face was the only thing I could focus on. The rest of the world seemed to block out around us. The song came to an end and we slowed down. I caught Ron's eye and he nodded gently. I smiled before George twirled us around again.
Chapter 3 done! Hope you enjoyed, more to come! Just a head's up, Percy's wedding will be skimmed over. Mainly because I don't like Percy :P. Reviews are welcome! Peace x.
