I laugh with my girls as we sit in Ginny's bedroom. Ginny decided to have her wedding on her family's land so we were using the bedrooms as dressing rooms. I had helped set up the tent for the wedding last night with the boys and had added some special extra touches with my powers which I hoped Ginny would love. Blaise and I had not been around each other a lot recently because of Ginny's wedding planning but I'm pretty sure he was busy with Harry and the rest of the boys as they deal with the groom and best man gigs. Ron was Harry's best man while I was Ginny's maid of honor.

At the moment, the girls and I were doing make-up and our hair since the wedding would start in about an two hours. I was in charge of everyone's hair and make-up so we needed the extra time so I could get through everyone with our shenanigans included since we were bound to mess around as we got ready.

"How do you think the boys are doing?" Hermione asks as I was using my powers to design her hair. Since it was December and snowing outside, we decided to style our hair with snow from my powers in it.

"I think they're probably complaining about the dress robes you picked out." Pansy said spinning herself around in her chair as she brushes her hair. We laugh at that. They were very vocal about the dress robes that Ginny liked but I couldn't see what was wrong with them. The robes were very classical being it was all black and not a unique color like royal blue which the boys wanted. Ginny would have been find with the color if the color looked good on all the boys so we went with a classic color so they would all look good in the photos.

"Hey, they will thank her in a few years when they look back on the photos." I say as I finish up with Hermione's make up before moving onto Millicent.

Ginny snorts, "Yeah, that will never happen. Maybe with Harry, Blaise, and Neville but Draco and Ron are too stubborn to admit that I was right." I would have to agree with that. Draco still hasn't admitted that my suggestion for him to go hunting for any dark artifacts may help him so I could see how he would never admit that she was right. The rest of the time flew by quick and soon it was time to get out custom made dresses that Aphrodite herself made. She found a beautiful purplish-grey color that complimented all of our skin tones before making dresses that were similar yet different so it would flatter all of our body. But the real showstopper was Ginny. Her white gown was simple yet elegant. It had no sleeves and a very simple front with minimal lace on the sides which resembled small snowflakes signifying her winter wedding. Lace decorated the back before falling away into a mermaid train which held a lace border. It looked stunning on Ginny and the girls and I couldn't help but tell Ginny that before we had to leave to find our places for the wedding. Before we did though, we told Mr. Weasley who was in another room that Ginny was ready and to get ready to bring her to the tent. We were timing it so Harry wouldn't see her in the gown till she walked down the aisle.

When the girls and I got to the tent, we saw the boys were all there minus Harry. Blaise smiled at me as he leaned down to give me a kiss.

"You look stunning." He says with his eyes showing his love. I smile at him as I lean against his muscular chest as we waited for the signal that we were going to walk soon. I was supposed to walk with Ron since he was the Best Man so at that time I would link arms with him. Hermione was walking with Blaise so we were basically just switching men for the walk, Hermione's words not mine. When we heard the music begin to play, I let go of Blaise and allowed him to walk to his place in line with Hermione as I found Ron at the back of the line. As I watched Mrs. Weasley enter the tent, Ginny was coming out of her home with her Dad helping her through the snow. I waved my hand and the snow cleared enough for her to walk easy in her heals. She smiled thankfully at me but I had to enter so I looping my right arm through Ron's left, I walk down the aisle smiling as I held the bouquet of flowers before releasing his arm so we could take our place. Then Ginny's little cousin came walking down the aisle with the rings on a pillow which Ron and I each took so we could hand it to our respective person. Then seconds later we see the flower girl who was another of Ginny's cousin before Ginny appears being escorted by her father.

Because I already knew how gorgeous Ginny was, I turned to glance at Harry who looked stunned at how gorgeous she looked which made me smirk as I turn back to Ginny. Her father lifts her veil before going to take his seat. The rest of the wedding was beautiful. Their vows were so beautiful and I'm glad they chose to write their own vows because it made it feel more personal or honest. Once the couple kissed and I released a burst of snowflakes that fell over their heads, the mature wizards and witches helped change the seating to a reception format instead.

Everyone immediately began to dance and celebrate the marriage. At some part, I give a speech before Ron does his best man speech but after that, I spent the night dancing with Blaise and just enjoying the moment. All in all, it was a night to remember and I couldn't help the feeling of wanting this to be me as well.

After the wedding, Harry and Ginny disappeared off on their honeymoon which was apparently going to be a couple of places and not just one place so it was going to be longer than a typical honeymoon. Blaise and I returned to our shop and it was normal business

"Blaise, can you walk with me to the joke shop?" I ask walking over to him where he was restocking the shelves in our potions shop,  "I need to drop off their order of potions for the week."  He turns and smiles when he saw me.

" Of course, Atlantia," Blaise says picking up the box of potions he was using to restock the shelves. "Let me put these in the back and then we can go." I nod as I pick up the box with the Weasley's order. Blaise reappears and quickly takes the box off my hands before leading me outside. I wave my hand locking the door and placing a note on the door telling we would be back soon. When we arrived at the joke shop, I noticed it was already packed. Together, Blaise and I pushed our way into the shop in search of Fred, and George. They spot us first and called out from the top of the stairs.

"Hey, you two." Fred said taking the box from Blaise. "Thanks for this week's order. They've been selling so fast and we might need to increase our order if it keeps up." I smile at that before seeing Harry and Ginny.

"Harry, Ginny." I call, "I didn't know you were back from your honeymoon." I give them each a hug as they respond.

"We got back last night." Ginny explained, "I wanted to see my brothers so we stopped by this morning not expecting to see you." I smiled before noticing Draco was browsing a shelf with Pansy and Millicent by his side.

"You alright?" Harry asked concerned. I scan the crowd noticing so many people I knew were in the shop. Professors, Hermione, the whole Weasley family, Neville, Luna, and many others who were close to me were spread out in the shop.

"What is going on?" I ask turning to the newlyweds, "Why is everybody here?" Ginny and Harry looked nervous before I heard Blaise from behind me clearing his throat. I turn and I see him looking very nervous. Everyone else in the shop also stopped "shopping" to listen in.

"Atlantia," Blaise says smiling at me, "You have been the center of my life since you entered it. While you scared me at first when you entered the Great Hall for the first time, I am always thankful that you chose to be a Slytherin. You have brought joy and happiness to my life since that day. When I almost lost you, I realized I couldn't live without you." I felt tears formed in my eyes at that statement, "So that is why in front of those you call friends and family," He takes a knee and pulls out a beautiful diamond ring that I knew came from Hades's vault so he had to have asked my parents for their blessing, "Atlantia Brooks, would you marry me?"

I was so stunned and I felt tears begin to fall down my face as I stare deep into Blaise's face. My voice wouldn't work so all I could do was nod my head quickly. Cheers erupt from the crowd of my family as Blaise grins and stands slipping the ring onto my finger before slamming his lips onto mine. I melted into his arms feeling happier than I ever felt in my life and for once I felt that my fate wouldn't be full of sorrow and pain but instead one of happiness and joy.
