Ginny Weasley was lying in her “old” bed at the burrow. She had woken up when she had heard her mother working in the kitchen. Today was Ginny’s big day: She would marry her true love and in her opinion the most wonderful man. Ginny smiled at these thought. In some way she felt like coming home after a long journey… Flashback In her fifth year they had become rather close. Since Ron and Hermione were too observed with their own problems, Harry felt a bit left out. So he was looking for some company and found Ginny. Out of their friendship he had given her a lovely Valentine’s card but at the and of the year the simply drifted apart again without particular reason. The following years they simply co- existed. The first years in Hogwart Ginny were rather skinny and always the smallest and although Harry knew that Ginny was a special person he had never romantically feelings for her. He didn’t realize that she was slowly becoming an attractive young woman. Much too Ginny’s dislike they never had a date or went to Hogsmeande together. When Harry finally left school for his Auror training they lost touch till Ron’s and Hermione’s wedding three years ago. Ginny was maid of honor while Harry was Ron’s best man. This was the first time they met since school. Eventually Harry realized how foolish he had been all those years. Ginny was not longer the skinny little girl he remembered so well. Instead she had become a gorgeous women who was smart and quiet charming. She had become a wonderful figure that made men turn their heads whenever she walked past them. Her hair had become a wonderful tone of red and her eyes were definitely mysterious. But Harry too had become more handsome. He had grown up and was now about Ron’s high. He also had become a rather muscular body and when he finally closed his gaping mouth they spent a wonderful evening together, laughing, dancing and enjoying each other’s company. Since that day Harry and Ginny started to date seriously. End Flashback “Poor boy never knew what hit him.” Ginny said to herself smiling brightly. When she heard a soft knock she almost sang, “Come in!” The door opened and her mother stepped in, carrying a little tablet. “I thought, that you must be hungry.” Mrs. Weasley told her only daughter. “Not really mom. I think that I’m a little nervous. But thanks for the orange juice.” Ginny answered when she took the glass drinking a little bit of the juice. Ever since Ginny told her mother that she would marry the famous Harry Potter soon, her mother was rather sappy. Being sure that her mother would start to sob again she changed rather quickly the subject. “When’s Hermione coming?" “ Around thirty minutes, dear” her mother said. The talked a little more before Mrs. Weasley told Ginny again about her childhood: Ever since Ginny saw the first picture of Harry Potter, she went around the burrow telling everybody who would listen: “When I’m grown up, I’ll marry Harry Potter.” Everybody just laughed at these thought but when Harry and Ginny announced their engagement several of her brothers along with her parents remembered this little story. In fact they made sure, she would never forget about it. Just when her mother finished the little story they heard again a knock at the door. “Come in. ” Mrs. Weasley pointed out. This time the visitor was Hermione. “Hello Ginny, hello mother” Hermione greeted the two women with a warmly hug. “Sorry I’m late, but Ron has some serious problems binding his tie.” She excused herself. “That’s okay” Ginny smiled gently “mom just told me again about my childish fantasies.” Ginny told her sister in law while jumping out of the bed.” I think it’s time,“ she continued when she headed for the bathroom. Ginny needed the help of Hermione with dressing since Harry and she decided to celebrate the wedding in the old fashioned muggel- way. Ginny could still her the excitement in her father’s voice when they told him so. “Molly dear. Have you heard them? Our little girl will marry in the muggel- fashion. Absolutely wonderful” he repeated over and over again while dancing in little circles. A few hours later Ginny still only wore her bathrobe. Hermione, Angelina and Penelope, her sister’s in law, were in her room chatting about former times; when Mrs. Weasley appeared telling them to get ready. Although they had much fun everybody knew that they was running out of time. And so Hermione helped Ginny to dress up. When she finally wore her wedding dress. Angelina put the curlers out of Ginny’s hair. Ginny had decided to let her hair open. She just loved it in that way. Then Ginny turned around facing the female- part of her family. “Just one little question: How do I look like?” she asked her mother. Suddenly the four women started sobbing, which worried Ginny a little. “So bad, huh?” she asked anxiously. Immediately Hermione started grinning. “Ginny, look into the mirror.” The slightly older woman told her. ”You look absolutely perfect. You’ll be the most beautiful woman, today” When Ginny looked into the mirror, she can’t believe what she saw. “Is that really me?” she asked. ”And is Harry already here, mom?” “Yes dear, he’ll wait downstairs.” Her mother told her through her tears. Then they felt into each other arms for a last hug before it was show time. The door opened again and Mr. Weasley was entering. “My pumpkin you look amazing.” He told her smiling remembering himself that his little girl was not longer his but Harry’s. “Thanks Daddy.” She beamed at him when she rushed forward hugging him tightly. Mr. Weasley then took her hand and guided her down to the garden where the ceremony was hold, according to Ginny and Harry’s wish. Hermione and the others were making their way to their places, leaving Ginny and her father at the beginning of a rather long aisle. Ginny saw her family and a few of Harry’s and her school friends. She also spotted a few teachers like Professor Dumbelore or Professor McGonagell. Even Snape was here she realized. And there in the first row Remus Lupin and Sirius Black were sitting. When the music started up Ginny saw everybody turning and looking at her and Ginny suddenly panicked. She simply wasn’t used to being at the center of attention and it freaked her out. She barely heard the music and she has no idea how she had made it through the aisle. She really wanted to look into Harry’s face but he looked into the other direction and she knew that it was for good. Otherwise it would mean bad luck. Then she reached Harry and immediately her mind was cleared when she looked into those green eyes. Still she realized that every time she spoke her lips started trembling. “The bridge and groom have decided to speak their personal vows.” Ginny heard Cornelius Fudge say. Nobody had known about this so it was rather surprising for Ginny’s family. “Virginia Theresa Weasley, I love you with all of my heart and my soul. You’re everything that I could ever hope to find in a women.” Harry spoke his voice slightly cracking ”I promise to be there when you need me to fill your days with sunshine. I also promise to trust you and to respect you. I promise you to protect, support and encourage you through life’s joy’s and sorrows.” After these words Harry turned to Ron who smiled a rather watery smile. Harry took the ring from Ron and faced Ginny again. “Just as this circle is without end, my love for you is eternal. With this ring I thee wed.” Then Ginny raised her voice eyes never leaving Harry’s. “ I love you Harry James Potter. Today I give myself to you in marriage. I promise to trust you and respect you, to laugh with you and to comfort you in times of sorrow. I promise you to love you in good times and when life seems harder. I promise you to share my hopes, thoughts and dreams.” Then she turned to took the ring from Hermione, her matron of honor, and turned back to face the love of her life. “ Just as this circle is without end my love to you is eternal. With these ring I’ll wed.” Then Cornelius Fudge spoke again: “It’s my great pleasure to announce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride” and the audience seems to explode of cheers. ~Hours later at Ginny’s and Harry’s house… Harry and Ginny lay side by side in their bed. Harry was playing with her hair whispering soft words into her ear. Suddenly Ginny jumped up leaving a rather puzzled Harry. “I just want to show you something.” Ginny smiled gently when she reached the bed again. In her right hand a green envelope. “And what do you want to show me, Mrs. Potter?” Harry asked her teasingly. Ginny handed him the envelope and when he opened it he saw a Valentine’s card. The one, which Harry gave her in her fifth year. He looked into her eyes even more puzzled. “Why have you kept it?” Harry asked her smiling interested. “I have kept it because in that year on that day I felt in love with you.” She whispered as she wrapped her arms around him. ”It was the first time I ever loved someone beside my crushes. I knew that if I gave you enough time you would come back to me.” She smiled knowingly. Harry held her closer when he whispered into her ear. ”Tomorrow we’ll start looking for the singing get-well card. I’m sure it must be in one of these boxes..” He was silent when Ginny kissed him passionately. “You wouldn’t dare.. “ Ginny whispered when both burst out laughing. The End.
