Unexpected | Bill Weasley

~48~ The Wedding

The morning of the wedding was a rush of excitement. Everyone was preparing last minute things, people were still picking out their clothes. Ginny, Rue, Hermione and Tonks wouldn't leave my side.

"Mum can't wait to finally meet you!" said Tonks.

I grinned.

After a small lunch, everyone started to get ready for the wedding. I was in my room, trying to zip up my wedding dress, but it wouldn't fit. My eyes puffy and red form crying, feeling a bit silly that I was so emotional about the dress. I heard a knock on the door.

"Come in!" I called out, and Ginny, Rue, Hermione, Tonks, Fred and George burst into the room.

"Why are you crying?" asked Hermione.

"The stupid zipper won't fit!" I said angrily, my voice cracking. "It fit just yesterday!"

"Are you sure you're not pregnant?" asked Fred.

"Mum wouldn't be too happy about that." said George.

I glared that them and they backed away.

"It's nothing a little wand-work won't fix." said Rue gently, after she had given the twins a glare like mine.

She pointed her wand at my zipper and I felt it slide up easily.

"Thanks." I said. "I didn't even think about that."

"You're just nervous," said Ginny. "It's normal!"

I laughed. "You've never been married Gin."

She shrugged.

The girls started to help me with my hair and makeup. Fred and George made the mistake of staying for too long, because soon they were forced to help.

"Fred, pass me that clip."

"George, where did that brush go?"

"Stop doing that Fred, you're making a mess of the eyeshadow!"

"George I said mascara, you gave me lipstick!"

"How am I supposed to know?" said George, looking irritated.

After they finished, everyone complimented me, even the twins.

"You look so beautiful!" said Ginny, kissing my cheek.

"Very stunning." agreed Tonks.

"The dress looks great on you." said Rue.

"You're earrings match you're eyes!" said Hermione.

"You do look very lovely," said Fred.

"Very lovely," agreed George. "Now we finally have a pretty sister!"

Ginny and Rue glared at him.

"Er, I meant, now we finally have three pretty sisters!"

He bolted from the room and Fred followed. We all burst out laughing.

The girls left to go finish with the wedding tent.

After a while, Mrs. Weasley came in with an elderly looking witch.

"This is my Auntie Muriel." said Mrs. Weasley. "And this is Fawn."

I smiled and stuck out my hand. "It's a pleasure to meet you."

She smiled. "Very polite at least, I thought she'd be a snobby little thing."

I glanced at Mrs. Weasley in confusion and she grimaced.

"Gained a bit of weight have you?" she asked, poking me in the stomach, and Mrs. Weasley closed her eyes, as if trying to regain herself.

"Oh well I didn't think I was that...." I began, but she cut me off.
