Harry Potter and What Happened After - Sahits

Chapter 60: Harry and Ginny's wedding
For the next week everybody in Potter manor was busy with preparations for the wedding, except for
Harry. He spent every day in the large library that was connected to a study he had found when while
he and the Weasleys were cleaning the mansion out.
Harry, with the help of one of the house elves that had apparently worked for his family a long time,
had quickly located a few very large books which contained Harry's family history, all the way back to
the time Hogwarts had been founded.
What Harry had discovered in his first few days of reading had been nothing short of fascinating. He
had found that this manor dated back to the time Hogwarts had been founded and that his family used it
as a retreat, a place to escape the muggle and wizarding world alike. The manor, along with a lot of
money, had been handed down from generation to generation. Apparently Harry's grandparents had
been living in the manor when they were killed, just as Harry's father was entering his 7th year at
Hogwarts.
For most of the week Harry spent most of his waking hours in the library, searching through the twenty
or so large books that recounted his family history and lineage. It was only towards the end of the week
that Ginny told Harry he needed to start helping with his own wedding.
"Harry, this is your wedding after all," Ginny had said. "I know you're excited to learn about your
family and all, but it can wait until after the wedding. And don't tell me it can't, it's not like the books
will just get up and walk away."
"Gin, in the wizarding world, yes they could." Said Harry with a slight smile. However he was already
closing the book he had been reading and getting up to follow Ginny to whatever chore she needed him
to do.
The two days before the wedding where the most hectic. Hermione's parents arrived two nights before
the wedding to help with the final set up. Neville, Hannah, Luna, and Dean all showed up the morning
before the wedding to help with all the final preparations and to help set up the wedding area in back.
By the time lunch came around on the day before the wedding the rest of the guests had started to
arrive. Even though many of the guests could apparate to the wedding the morning of Harry and Ginny
had insisted that as many of the guests as possible stay at the Manor for the night before so they could
have a pre-wedding party. Harry would never admit it to anyone but Ginny but he felt like the manor
needed to have people in it during a celebration like this.
By dinner time the Manor had almost 100 people in it and seemed to glow with activity.
Harry was standing in the corner of the big dining hall, there was food laid out buffet style along one
wall and he couldn't help but smile as he watched all his friends and former classmates having mingling
around and talking to each other.
By the time the party was over, around 11 o'clock at night, everybody was more than ready to go to
sleep. As Harry and Ginny walked up the huge staircase to the master bedroom that everybody had
insisted they take Harry couldn't help but think that this was his last night as a 'single' man, and he
couldn't be happier.
Seemingly out of nowhere Harry squeezed Ginny's hand and said, "Gin, I love you, I don't know if I
tell you that enough, but I love you, and I don't want you to ever forget that."
Ginny looked at her fiancé with an odd look, "Harry you tell me that more than enough," said Ginny
with a smile, wondering where this sudden burst of affection had come from. Harry wasn't a complete
