Chapter Four; The Reception

Alright before I carry on with this story I would just like to answer a couple of questions my first reviewer asked me. The Chipmunks will make their first appearance in chapter six and yes they will have the same names. So please just be a little patient with me and I hope you enjoy the rest of the story! If you or anyone else reading this have any more questions or comments feel free to post them!

Later on that evening Harry returned to the cemetery to stand at the feet of his parents' graves since he figured that would be the closest that he would ever get to them ever again. He was unaware that once again Rickie had followed him out into the night.

"Hey Harry, what are you doing out here, I thought you would be inside dancing with your new wife." He said.

"Just needed a bit of fresh air." Harry responded.

"Ah, I see." Rickie began with a nod before he withdrew his wand. "Well follow me, I want to show you something." He told him as Harry obeyed feeling a sudden burst of curiosity. Rickie led him to another grave and then with a wave of his wand he blew a gust of dust off of it so Harry could read the names.

Hayden and Louisa Lake

Louisa Lake Born; August 22nd, 1945 Died; February 3rd, 1972

Hayden Lake Born; May 31st, 1933 Died; December 5th, 1977

"Are these your parents?" Harry asked him as he nodded.

"Yes I still think about them and miss them every day of my life. So I know how you feel Harry." He told him.

"So were they Christians too?" Harry questioned.

"Yep, that's why I don't worry about them too much. They were good people and they loved the Lord. That's why I know I'll see them again someday and that God's watching over them, just like they're watching over me from Heaven. It's just too bad that they never got the chance to be grandparents." He said as he breathed a heavy sigh.

"You mean you never married?" Harry wondered.

"No, I just haven't found the right girl yet. I'm sure that she's out there somewhere though and one day I'll find her. I Just hope it's when I'm still young enough to do something about it." He said with a chuckle as Harry stifled a laugh.

"I mean don't get me wrong, I love my job and my fans with all my heart, but I've always wanted to settle down and have a family of my own. Especially after seeing Ron and Hermione's adorable baby girl." He said when suddenly Aaron came out to join them.

"There you guys are, the cake's getting ready to serve and then it'll be time for Harry and Ginny's first dance as husband and wife." He explained.

"Alright well come on Harry, let's go before Derek devours the whole thing." Rickie told him as they walked back towards the church. Once they got inside they saw Hagrid sitting down at a table standing Sheela up on his lap while holding onto her tiny little hands.

"Look at what a big girl you're getting to be." He told her placing a scratchy kiss on her cheek while she looked over at her parents and then back over at him and started to cry.

"Oops, sorry Hagrid, she's probably just getting tired. After all it's way past her bedtime." Hermione told him as she scooped the baby up inside her arms and started to hush her as she rocked her gently from side to side.

"Hey Hagrid." Harry began.

"Ah hullo there Harry, I haven't seen you guys since Ron and Hermione's wedding. I'm just glad that they keep sendin' me owls with pictures of Sheela, she's the most beautiful baby that I've ever seen." He said. "I can't wait until she's old enough to go to Hogwarts." He added.

"Yeah well you still have eleven years more to go before that." Ron told him.

"That's what Justin said when Jasmine was born. Now she's already in her fourth year and giving Hermione a run for her money if you ask me." He said.

"Yeah she seemed nice, but she certainly seemed like a little miss perfect." Ron said.

"Hey! What is that supposed to mean?" Hermione questioned him with a scowl.

"Oh come on Hermione you know I love you, besides you're way different now than you were when I first met you." He told her.

"Wish I could say the same for you, I mean I love you too but you can be so embarrassing sometimes." She said.

"I know, I'm sorry honey. I wish there was a way that I could make it up to you." He said when suddenly Sheela let out a small toot and Hermione grinned proudly.

"There is. Change the baby while I go get a piece of cake." She said before handing the baby girl over to him before she walked away and Sheela flashed him a wide grin.

"Ah man, she's just getting a kick out of this. I think she does it deliberately to annoy me." Ron said.

"Take it easy Ron she's only a baby." Harry told him.

"I'm not talking about Sheela I'm talking about her mother." Ron began. "Well anyway, do you mind giving me a hand?" he questioned.

"Sure. Give her to me." Harry answered as he took the baby from him.

"Thanks mate, I owe you one." Ron told him as he slapped him on the back and the two boys walked down to the restroom together.

…

"Where did Harry and Ron go?" Ginny asked as she took a bite of cake.

"Sheela needed her diaper changed." Hermione explained.

"Oh, I can't wait to have a baby but Harry said that he's not ready yet." Ginny told her.

"Why not? He's already great with Sheela and is sort of like a second father to her." Hermione said but Ginny simply shrugged.

"I dunno, beats me." She responded when the two boys walked over to them with Harry still carrying Sheela.

"I love her dress, she looks good in pink." Ginny said.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it is now time for Harry and Ginny's first official dance as husband and wife." Aaron said.

"Go on Harry, I'll take Sheela." Hermione said as Harry handed her the baby while Ginny threw away her plate before the two of them walked out onto the dancefloor.

"Now as a very special request, the bride and groom will now dance to an original song of theirs called My Cheetah Girl." Aaron said before he waved his wand towards the stereo and the CD tray automatically pushed itself in and the music started to play as Harry took Ginny inside his arms and started waltzing a crossed the floor with her.

(If you want to know the lyrics check out The Cheetah Girls because it's posted in there)

Ron and Hermione watched as Harry spun and twirled his wife around while baby Sheela started falling asleep against her mother's chest. Hagrid was busy dabbing at his eyes with a handkerchief. "Don't they look beautiful?" he questioned before Hermione turned to watch as he blew his nose.

"They remind me so much of James and Lily." He said when suddenly the song ended and everyone applauded as a fast (muggle) song came on. (Cake by The Ocean) Harry and Ginny walked over to Ron and Hermione.

"Great job, you guys looked fantastic!" Hermione exclaimed.

"Thanks, I was coming back to see if Sheela wanted to dance with me, but it looks like she's already out like a light." Ginny said as she smiled at her niece.

"Yeah, I was actually thinking of giving her to Mrs. Weasley because she was just getting ready to leave." Hermione explained.

"Oh good, I can get out of the mother son dance." Ron said.

"At least you have a mother." Harry begun. "I would give anything in the world to do that."

"Do you want to take my place?" Ron questioned him as Hermione carried the sleeping infant over to her grandmother. "I mean don't get me wrong, I love her and everything but sometimes she can be just so embarrassing and impossible to get along with. That's why I'm never going to put my child through that." He explained as Harry nodded.

"Yeah," he said simply before he turned around to leave.

"Hey mate are you alright?" Ron asked him as he turned around again.

"Yeah, I'm just going to get some fresh air." He answered.

"But it's a full moon." Ron told him.

"Then I'm going to the bathroom." Harry said before he turned around and left the room.
