A Harry Potter Love Story: Gracie Style 2 *Completed*

The Wedding Part 2

"Harry and Gracie would like to exchange their own vows." I smiled at Grandma, turning back to Harry because he was first.

"Gracie. You already know I love you. I want you to know why. First of all, you're gorgeous. Second, you're brave. And funny, and kind, and brilliant. But also because of all the memories we share. I remember the first time I saw you. You were completely zoned out and I had to go up and introduce myself. You were so beautiful, even back then. I remember, we did everything together that year. You, Ron, Hermione and I. My first time going through the barrier and I did it with you." Harry chuckled, smiling fondly down at me. I was already tearing up, the ceremony just started! "I can't think of anyone better." I smiled as he went to kiss me.

"Not yet, Potter!" Grandma snapped, thumping the back of Harry's head. I giggled and the crowd laughed.

"Fine fine." He grumbled, turning back to me. "I remember the day at the Weasley's, when Nat joined our little group. We had that, that tent out by the lake. We played chicken for hours on end and you wore my t-shirt to bed that night. That became a regular thing. I remember asking you out- Merlin's beard I was so nervous."

"Professor Dumbledore caught us kissing." I giggled, blushing.

"Oh yeah!" Harry laughed, grabbing my hips and pulling me closer to him. He wrapped his arms tightly around my waist and rested his forehead against mine. "Then we kissed in front of everyone at the Yule Ball."

"That's one of my favorite memories." I smiled, thinking back. "The dress, the music, you. It was all perfect." I sighed. Harry nodded, smiling at me again. His thumb rubbed back and forth over my cheeks. My breath caught in my throat as I looked into those amazing, green eyes that just never get old.

"Lets see. I remember the day you freed your dad. And how scared I was when I thought I'd lost you in that chamber. One of the worst days of my life. I remember being in that tournament with you.... Another not so great time where I thought I'd lost you." Harry paused. "But you were amazing in the tournament. You're always amazing. The way you stood up against Tom time and time again. The way you always wanted to protect everyone else before yourself. The way you've always been so maternal. I couldn't think of a better mother for my beautiful triplets. I couldn't think of a better woman to be my wife. You mean everything to me Gracie. You're my whole life, my whole world. And I love you with everything in me."

Harry kissed my nose, both of us crying now. "Your turn."

"My turn." I smiled, playing one of my hands on his cheek. "You have always been there for me, always. In first year, in second. Definitely in second. Harry you were there in third and fourth. I never would have made it through that tournament without you. I remember, I remember the day Nat and I snook out to the Shrieking Shack, and you and Fred found us." I giggled, shaking my head. "You and I stayed there together all night. We didn't do anything. You just held me and we went to sleep. That became an every night thing too." I laughed lightly. "Though I think that really started first year, in the common room. I remember you used to get jealous because of Seamus, and I would think to myself, 'Wow. I love this jealous, overprotective dork.' I wouldn't want anyone else.

I remember arguing, over who would be the DA leader."

"I remember that!" Harry laughed, seeming pretty proud of himself. "We've made a lot of compromises."

"We have." I giggled, kissing his cheek. "Do you remember when you gave me the promise rings, and the girls all thought you proposed?"

"I remember when we told your brothers we were engaged." Harry tossed Charlie and Bill a look. I laughed when they waved back innocently from the front row. "And I remember the time you seduced me." He winked, turning back to me.
