Fresh Breeze - Haha I'm glad that you love Scylla and their little jokes. Hope that you're still liking the story!

SparrowLillies – Ha-ha...very oh laa laa! But not for a while, wedding to sort out so no fun…

So I know there isn't a lot of drama, but, I'm trying to portray it from Scylla's view, so it will be quite quiet and happy. Also, I'm fast forwarding from September to March, so that it will be near the wedding and will including some drama from Hogwarts to the Burrow!

Right, now on with the chapter!

35. The Wedding Preparation

Days passed and before I knew it, it was a week before the wedding. Let's just say, I'm freaking. I ran down the stairs of the burrow and out the house to see the marquee being put up. "Ah, the blushing bride is awake!" George exclaimed. Fred ran up to me and twirled me round in a hug, making me laugh.

"Fred! Let me go! I have to go and get a dress!" He laughed and put me down.

"You didn't get one yet? You have all of the winter to get one."

I shrugged and smiled, "I didn't have enough time. Do you have your best man?" I asked him. He smiled and pointed to George. "Obvious." I muttered.

"What about groomsmen?" I asked again.

This time Fred frowned. "How many do I need?" He asked.

"Only three. Three groomsmen and one best man."

He then let out a sigh, "Okay. My best man is George. My groomsmen are Lupin...Bill and Ron." He then said proudly.

I laughed at him. "Okay. Want to know mine?" I asked. He nodded and I told him. "My maid of honour is Krista. My three bridesmaids are Tonks, Hermione and Ginny." He nodded, half knowing that I would have picked them.

"Hello Scylla dear. You ready to go find a dress?" Molly asked walking up to us. I nodded with a smile she walked into the house to give me and my fiancé some privacy.

"Soon you'll be my wife." He whispered.

I smiled and replied, "Soon you can have all of me." I laughed and walked away as Fred let out a small groan.

I walked into the living room to see Molly, Ginny and Krista by the fireplace. "Ready dear?" She asked. I nodded and we used the Floo network to reach Diagon Alley. "Right, the shop should be along here." Molly said and started walking. We three girls followed her until she stopped and we saw the shop that she was looking at. "Here we are. 'Magical Nights'. Don't sound like a wedding shop." We chuckled at her comment and walked into the shop. We walked in and I looked round, seeing it empty but looking very classy. A woman with black hair and in her thirties came towards us.

"Hello! Who is the lucky lady?" She asked. I held up my hand and she smiled and clapped her hands. "Aw, perfect! The man is very lucky! Now," She grabbed my hand and stood my on a circular platform. "Wait here and I'll bring out dresses that would suit your figure." She walked away and I stood there. The other three were smiling at me.

"This is too expensive." I said.

Molly waved her hand and replied, "No worry. We can afford it. Look dear, Fred is very happy and I've wanted one of the twins to be married. So no price is too much." I smiled and the woman returned. She then grabbed her wand and waved the first on in front of me.

The dress clung to my body and draped all the way to the floor. It was simple and silky, the top of it shoulder straps but no sleeves. I looked in the mirrors, enchanted to make it look as though I was actually wearing it. "It's too clingy. What will happen when you and Fred have the dance?" Krista asked.

Molly nodded in agreement, "That is true. Can we try another?" The woman nodded and waved the dress away. Another then went in front of my body and took its place.

This one was puffy but reach just below my knees. The top of it had straps again but draping sleeves reaching my elbow. I waited as they thought about it but Ginny shook her head, "It has to look traditional." The woman waved the dress away and then replaced it with another and this time, the all of the women gasped.

I looked in the mirror and nodded in approval. The dress was puffy again but reached my ankles, covered in feathers that made it look light. It had no sleeves or straps, half of it decorated in a pattern made up of crusted diamonds. "This is it. This is the one." I whispered and the woman smiled and nodded.

We also picked simple white shoes and a small silver crown. I didn't choose a veil as it would hide some of the pattern. But when we were paying for it, we heard a crash outside. "What was that?" I asked. Ginny walked to the window but screamed and fell when the windows smashed. Hermione went after her as I put the box full of the dress, shoes and crown in my bag that was bigger on the inside. We ran out of the shop to see death eaters destroying shops on the street.

"We have to go! Now!" Molly shouted. We took off and ran, dodging the shattering glass and the screaming people.

We ran around the corner and saw Weasley Wizard Wheezes. "They have a fireplace! C'mon!" I shouted and ran to the shop. I unlocked the door with my wand and we ran in, making a beeline to the fireplace. One by one, we used the Floo network and made it to the burrow.

When we arrived back, we collapsed on the chairs and floor. "My Merlin, I never, ever want to go back." Ginny stated.

We heard the door open and we heard Arthur exclaim, "Merlin's beard! What happened?" We quickly told him and him, along with Fred, George and Bill, helped us up. "Hey, wanna see the marquee. We finished it." Arthur said, knowing it would cheer us up. We headed out with them and walked in, smiling at the sight.

The tables and chairs were placed along the edge of the marquee, creating a space in the middle for people to dance and walk around. At the end of the marquee, there was a long table for the parents of the bride and groom, in this case, the groom, the best man, maid of honour and the bride and groom themselves. One thing was missing though. Colour.

"We couldn't decide on a colour as we wanted one colour from each of you." Arthur said, speaking to Fred and me. We looked at each other and spoke at the same time,

"Blue." Said Fred.

"Purple." I said.

The Weasley parents smiled and Arthur waved his wand, streamers, balloons and napkins all appearing to the colour that we said. We smiled and everyone slowly walked away, leaving me and Fred alone. "Next week." Fred said smiling. I chuckled and wrapped my arms around his middle, resting my head on his chest as he pulled me close to him, as if he never wanted to let me go.

Next week.

Next week and we would finally be married.
