A New Beginning

A Night to Remember

     As the song played Ginny slowly walked into the tent with Mr. Weasley. Harry couldn't help himself, he felt a lump rising in his throat, and tears welling in his eyes. Seeing Mr. Weasley crying as well didn't help him. Harry was so overcome with emotions, happiness about the fact that he was going to marry Ginny, sadness because so many people he loved people that he loved couldn't be there, and nervousness for his life to come. But the feeling that took over all the others was pure joy and he could feel the tears of joy running down his face. All those nights in his dormitory at Hogwarts he'd spent dreaming of Ginny being his had finally come true. Harry scanned the crowd and he saw many people in tears, Mrs. Weasley, Hagrid, even Professor McGonagall shed a tear. Harry saw people he didn't recognize but he assumed they were part of the Weasley's extended family because of their red hair. Ginny reached Harry and Mr. Weasley grabbed her hands and then let go and she turned to face Harry. They said their vows and sooner than Harry had expected he was sliding the golden wedding band onto her uncharacteristically manicured hands. Harry leaned up to kiss her, trying as hard as he could to not go onto his tip-toes. They both turned to face everybody and they cheered. The two walked back down the aisle and everyone applauded, once they made it out Harry turned around to see that Hermione was crying as well. Once all the chairs had been moved to circle several small white tables with the same dark blue flowers that covered the wooden arch that they had stood under, Harry and Ginny joined the crowd. When the band saw them come back they played a slow song for Harry and Ginny to have their first dance to, eventually Ginny took a turn dancing with each of her brothers while Harry danced with Hermione. Once everyone was tired of dancing they sat down for dinner. Harry and Ginny's favorite foods were served, all prepared by Mrs. Weasley. Mrs. Weasley and Hermione then walked over to a table holding a large cake with small figures made to look like Harry and Ginny flying on their broomsticks on the top of the cake. Harry and Ginny made their way over to cut the cake and Harry fed her a small piece of cake. Then, Mrs. Weasley cut up the rest of the cake a served it to all the guests, miraculously there was enough for all the guests. All too soon it was time for the guests to leave, all the Weasley brothers and their wives, however, decided to stay at The Burrow for a few days. Harry and Ginny stood at the exit and said their thanks to everyone who had attended.
