Harry walks into Lee Jordan's apartment, it is pretty big and modern. Seems that he had made a lot of money working with George and  Fred, now that the brothers were back and working together . "Hey Harry" Lee says with a bright smile. He had long dreadlocks that were tied back and he had grown a small amount of facial hair.

"Hey, I haven't seen you in a while... You've changed" Harry says surprised. Lee nods. "So I hear there is going to be Veelas" Harry mutters.

"I thought maybe not because we are all in relationships" Lee says. He smirks. "I have something else planned." He mutters with the smirk remaining on his face. Ron walks in with George , Fred and Seamus. Fred and George are laughing at each other.

"So I see you two are talking?" Harry asked with a grin.

"Course we are Harry" Fred said with a smile.

"Veelas!" Seamus yells.

"Yeah I don't think so" Neville says from behind him. "I know what Lee has planned"

After a wild night of getting drunk and flying on broomsticks, while Harry tried to catch tennis balls, they all went back to Lee's apartment. Lee three Harry a potion. "It makes you sober up straight away" he said with a smile. "George and I just developed it" he said.

"Have you tested it?" Harry asks.

"Of course we have Harry" George said with a smile. Harry takes the potion and automatically feels sober. Harry smiles and puts his thumbs up. "Just kidding Harry, you were the first to try it" George says with a laugh. Harry throws the potion bottle at him and misses.

"You know I'm an Auror and can arrest you for that?" Harry asked. George shrugged.

"You wouldn't" he said. He sat on the couch and put his feet up. Harry shook his head. "Can anyone believe that my little bro Ickle Ronkins is getting married before me" he states, he's still drunk. Ron glares at him. "I wish Fred was here to see this" he slurred before bursting into tears. Fred frowns at what his brother just said.

"Georgie I'm here, look at me" Fred said sadly. George continues crying. "George I'm alive mate"

"Oh no" Ron sighs. "He did this when he thought Fred was dead, he cried about it after getting drunk, we better go"

Harry lays down on his bed and sighs, Ginny wasn't home yet but he hopes she would be soon. The front door opens and Harry gets up instantly and walks down stairs. "Gin?" Harry says softly.

"No it's Ron" Ron says. Harry comes into view of his best friend. "Hi mate"

"Hi, how's George?" Harry asks.

"Passed out in bed.." Ron mutters. "Ever since Fred was thought to have died, he had been getting drunk, at the end of the night he would burst into tears" Ron said sadly. "It has been happening less and less but it still happens the same when it does" Ron says as he takes a seat on the couch. Harry sits next to him and sighs.

"I'm sorry"

"It's not your fault Harry, I just wanted to talk to you, you're my best mate"

"I know" Harry mutters.

"Marrying Hermione is scaring the crap out of me!" Ron exclaims. Harry looks up at him and gives him a small smile. "And when are you going to ask Ginny?"

"What?"

"Bloody hell Harry, you can see that she wants that, do you?" Ron asks.

"Of course, but not at the moment" Harry admits.

"Why not?" Ron asks, surprised.

"I just want everything to be normal before I ask her, I don't want any deatheaters around... I want life to be normal"

"This is normal for you Harry" Ron says with a small chuckle. "You and I both know there is another reason"

"We are young" Harry stated. "She might not love me tomorrow, i might lose my memory or something... Or maybe I'm just scared" Harry said truthfully.

"I was... Scared but I did it because deep down I knew that Hermione was the one... Ginny will always love you Harry and don't doubt that ever, she has loved you since even before she met you, she's not going to stop" Ron muttered. Harry nodded.

"Let's just worry about your wedding at the moment, we have to apparate to Australia for it tomorrow so how about we crack open some fire whiskey's"

"Harry don't try and flatten your hair" Ginny says. She pushes her hands through his hair and brings her mouth to his ear."You look sexy with your hair like this, I told you that" she says. Harry smiles and ties up his tie.

"you look beautiful" Harry says looking at ginny's, short purple brides maid dress. She had her hair wavy and to one side and light make up on. Ginny blushes and takes one more look in the mirror.

"We better go " she says. Harry nods and holds out his hand. She intertwines their  fingers and they disapperate to the venue in Australia. "Where does the best man stand?" Ginny says softly. Harry points to where Ron is waiting. "Oh I better get into my spot, I think we are a bit late" she says. They walk over quickly. Everyone is already there.

"Where have you been mate?" Ron asks.

"Well, we defiantly forgot about the major time difference" Harry said. Ron shrugged and faced the front. Wedding music started playing on the piano. Hermione came walking out with her dad at her side and before anyone knew it they were saying their vows.

"Hermione, I have never been the romantic type and you know that but I'm going to surprise you and say everything I have felt for you since I met you. First year I thought you were pretty, I really liked you but I was so horrible to you at first but you changed the way I looked at things and I really loved that about you. Third year we were still best friends but we were more distant and I longed for you every time you weren't there and fourth year I defiantly knew that I loved you, I was so jealous when you took some other git to the ball because I wanted you... From the fourth year of knowing you I loved you, I started to love you when I thought someone else would take you... It was only about a two years ago that we got together and I have loved every minute of it... I love you so much and I won't ever want to live with out you Hermione, you are honestly everything I have ever wanted and more. So I hope we have many wonderful years together and that our children are as smart and as beautiful as you because I wouldn't want anything more" Ron finishes up. Harry is surprised with his words. He looks over at Ginny who is looking at Ron. Harry looks to Hermione now who is trying to stop herself from crying.

"Wow Ronald Weasley, I didn't think you could come up with that" she says with a loving smile. "Anyway here goes... I love you and I guess that's what everyone starts with but it's the most right thing that I have ever said in my life, even with all the books I read and all the questions I answered I have never felt so strongly about something then I feel about those three words for you. It may sound sappy and cheesy but I wouldn't be saying it if it weren't true... Ron I hope we grow old together and have children who have wonderful red hair like yours" Hermione says as she touches a strand of Ron's hair. "I love you Ronald Weasley"
