Chapter One Hundred and Five
Ginny sat on the bed, Orchid on her lap as her fingers worked deftly to plait the long black hair down her back, entwined with emerald ribbon.
“Mummy”
“Yes sweetheart”
“Where’s daddy?”
“He’s getting ready at home” she smiled thinking of him putting on the tuxedo, “Then he’s coming here to see us”
“Are you going to wear that?” she pointed to the ivory silk gown hanging on the door,
“Yep”
“It’s pretty”
“Not as nice as yours” she smiled “All done” she finished tying the ribbon in a neat bow before she lifted her up to put her beside her and stood up taking down a smaller emerald dress from the door, the little girl’s hazel eyes looked up eagerly. “Is that mine?”
“All yours” she laughed “You don’t remember trying it on it the shop?”
The little girl shook her head, but then stopped and smiled nodding,
“Silly Billy” she smiled tapping the end of Orchids nose with the tip of her finger.
Ginny dressed her with a smile, “There we go”
“Are you going to put your dress on too?”
“In a minute” she smiled sitting at her old dressing table, the photos were still the same, the room was still the same yellow, but she didn’t regret leaving any of it. She put in earrings, the locket around her neck and a simple silver bracelet.
A hand went to her stomach absentmindedly, she had a wedding present for Harry; she smiled a little more and then took her dress down putting it on. She opened a box on the dresser taking out a small silver tiara decorated with emeralds and diamonds, and carefully placing it in her hair “Orchid”
“Yes mummy”
“How do I look?”
“Like a princess” she grinned smiling widely, Ginny swooped down and spun her round in her arms, “You’re my little princess” she smiled kissing her cheek, “Now lets get some shoes on and see if Daddy’s here yet”
They walked down the stairs, Orchid on Ginny’s hip, she peaked round the door but Orchid saw him first “Daddy!” she called reaching out from Ginny’s arms,
Harry smiled coming towards them, “Here are my girls” Orchid went between them now perched on his hip as he leant in to kiss Ginny, “You look amazing” he whispered getting closer -
“Isn’t that supposed to wait till the ‘I do’ bit” grinned Ron
“It’s so like you-” said Ginny,
“- Always interrupting” grinned Harry finishing the sentence, before leaning in again catching her cheek with a kiss.
“It’s what he’s good at” smirked Cormac, Kiki holding his hand
“That and being an idiot” said Neville, Angela standing beside him. Draco wandered in smirking, “You guys ready, everyone’s there?” Hermione, Amy following in after him, they all nodded and took out there wands,
“We’re going to do the spinney thing so hold on tight ok” Said Harry looking at Orchid, she nodded and wrapped her arms round his neck, he held out his free arm to Ginny and she took it smiling, he flicked his wrist holding his wand and they apparated to the secluded beach, a cliff face between them and the congregation seated and waiting.
“See you in a bit” he grinned, and she laughed
“See you in a bit” and reached out for Orchid, “Come here sweetie” she happily swapped back as Harry and the guys walked round the rock to take there places, Arthur was walking towards her shaking Harry’s hand with a quick smile before letting him go.
He took his place, Ron, Draco Neville and Cormac standing behind him. He was still smiling when Ron said “You scared?”
He chuckled “Of what?”
“Marrying my sister”
“Nope”
“She’ll turn into mum”
“She’ll do anything she can not to” he grinned.

“You look beautiful” Arthur smiled pulling her into a hug and kissing her cheek “You ready?”
“Can’t wait” she grinned
Hermione, Angela, Kiki, Amy and Luna handed out bouquets between them and Ginny and Orchid. Then the music started, Angela and Amy went first, smiling walking down the aisle and taking there places, then Kiki and Luna, then Hermione smilingly kissed Ginny’s cheeks and took Orchids hand leading her down to stand waiting.
“Your turn” smiled Arthur, holding his arm out to her. She took it with a smile and walked with him down the aisle. She wanted this moment to last forever, seeing his smiling face watching her and Orchids grin from next to Hermione.
*
“I now pronounce you husband and wife, you may kiss your bride”
Everyone stood up cheering and clapping as they kissed, Ginny held out a hand for Orchid and they walked down the aisle her between them, a hand on either side.
“Congratulations!” yelled everyone as they sent up green and silver sparks up into the air, bouncing off the cloaking shield and falling back down onto the beach.
The area cleared, with a wave of Arthur, Ron, Bill and Charlie’s wands a canopy appeared and a band apparated in.
“Time for the first dance” shouted Arthur and the band started to play, he lifted up Orchid from Harry and Ginny, and helped form a circle with the crowd.
Harry held her in his arms as they danced slowly to the music,
“Harry would you like your present now” She smiled,
“It’s up to you, do you want yours?”
“You go first” she grinned as he spun her around and pulled her close to him again,
“Well you know I couldn’t get the full week off work for the honeymoon so we were going to have to wait?”
“Yes…”
Harry smiled “How about a month in Paris instead?”
She stared at him “Really?”
“Really” he grinned, “We leave tonight – Hermione packed for you”
“What about Orchid?”
“We have the first two weeks to ourselves, then Molly and Arthur are going meet us with her and she can see Paris too”
“Thank you!” she kissed him happily” – ok so now my surprise” she grinned “So …” she took a deep breath “I’m pregnant”
“Really”
She nodded happily; he lifted her off her feet and twirled her around “Can we tell them?”
She nodded again – “Later though – lets dance with our little princess”
He let go kneeling down and opening his arms to her, Orchid walking as fast as her three year old legs could go,
He lifted her up perching on a hip, took Ginny’s hand and twirled her around, “My girls” he grinned as she swept in closer to him and he held her to his other side, “And the little surprise” they danced to the end of the song, everyone watching and not wanted to take away the moment.
The song changed and Arthur cut in “May I” he smiled,
“Course Dad” Smiled Ginny, Harry shifted Orchid dancing with her for a little when Draco and Hermione danced over, “A dance with our God daughter?”
“Uncle Drake, Auntie Mione” Grinned Orchid, Harry laughing handing her over,
“A dance with my new son” smiled Molly appearing in front of him,
“My pleasure Molly” he smiled.
****
“So it took them long enough, but they’ve finally gotten married” grinned Ron “And after watching them become a family with the addition of Orchid, I couldn’t be happier for them” he raised his glass in a toast “I don’t want to do anything embarrassing to my little sis and best mate so I’ll leave it at that and just say congratulations - to Harry and Ginny!”
“Harry and Ginny” everyone said in reply holding there glasses up,
They laughed as he sat down and made a move to stand up together,
“So we’d like to thank everyone for coming-” smiled Harry, “-And for all there presents and good wishes-”
Ginny started “-But we have something for you all-” She grinned “-Because it’s so exciting and Harry can’t wait to share” she nudged him to tell him it was his turn,
“Gin’s pregnant”
Everyone cheered happily, and it came to the time to throw the bouquet, it flew threw the air and found its way into Hermione’s hands. She looked down surprised and started to laugh,
“Take it as a hint Draco” grinned Harry
“The thing is-“He said with a grin, Hermione held up her hand to show an engagement ring,
Ginny started laughing and wrapped her best friend in a hug.
*“I told them you’d take us one day” she grinned looking down from the top of the Eifel tower,
Harry turned to her, holding Orchid as she pointed happily to the birds flying around them,
“I do anything for you two” he smiled, taking her hand and raising it to his lips “Anything at all”
