Protecting Her

A/N: This is my first fan fiction so please review. Be gentle, but honest. I am not sure how long this story will be yet…

Chapter 1: Wedding and Surprises.

In A small backyard Garden two people pledged their love and commitment to each other. The only people there to witness this event were the closest friends and family to the new bride and groom. They all clapped when the groom lowered his mouth to kiss his wife for the first time. He looked up at the people he considered his family and grinned, his green eyes shining happily. Looking down at is wife he whispered to her “I love you Mrs. Potter”

She smiled up at him “and I love you Mr. Potter, for the rest of my life.”

The couple danced happily, temporarily forgetting the troubles in their world. Forgetting that Harry was going to have to fight and kill the most evil wizard ever. Forgetting that Ginny’s family was a target for being so called blood traitors. They just marveled at their happiness and love.

Ron Weasley stood up and called for everyone’s attention and when the small group was looking at him he cleared his throat nervously. “ So Harry asked me to be his best man and I guess making a speech is part of that, which I might add I was not informed of when I agreed to do it.” Ron gave Harry a dirty look and the small group laughed. “Harry has been my best mate for 8 years, we have been through so much, him more than anyone else, and even now he still has so much that he has to do, but tonight I can honestly say that while he stood up to marry my baby sister. Yes Ginny you will always be my baby sister and there is nothing you can do about it.” The group laughed and Ginny stuck her tongue out at her brother. “I have never seen Harry Happier than I did at that moment. I honestly believe that Harry and Ginny are meant to be together for life and I have never been happier to have Harry Potter as my brother.” Ron held his glass up towards Harry and Ginny. “I wish you both all the happiness in the world and I know you both will make each other happy for life.” Ron sat down and smiled at his sister and new brother both of whom had tears in their eyes. Ron looked up at Hermione as she stood up.

“Well what am I supposed to say after that?” Hermione joked and everyone laughed. “All I can really say is that Harry Potter and Ginny Weasley have been my friends for years and I could not be happier to see them together. They both have been there for me in more ways than one; they helped me find the love of my life.” Hermione smiled down at Ron who blushed a deep red. “Harry sure knows how to find trouble or better yet trouble sure knows how to find Harry. I will always follow Harry into that trouble no matter what because I know without a doubt that Harry will get us out. I could not ask for better friends then the ones I have in the two of them. Congratulations Harry and Ginny we all love you.” Hermione toasted them and sat down. Her hand finding Ron’s she smiled when she felt him playing with the engagement ring that he had given her 2 months earlier.

Harry and Ginny hugged their family and said good bye. They were leaving on their short honeymoon which wasn’t really a honeymoon. With the Weasley family in hiding and the death eaters on the lookout for Harry they couldn’t do much, but they were going to spend a few days at Bill and Fleur’s home by themselves. Harry and Ginny apparated to Shell Cottage.

“Oh Harry isn’t this gorgeous?”

“I think you are gorgeous, and I can’t believe that you Ginny Potter are my wife.” He pulled Ginny into his arms and attacked her mouth with his. She returned the kiss with equal need. Harry Picked up Ginny and carried her over the threshold of the bedroom, Ginny laughing the whole way. Her laugher stopped abruptly when Harry placed her on the bed and continued to kiss her. “I want to make love to my wife.”

“Well my husband have your way with me.” Ginny taunted grinning widely

“I think I will my wife.” His hands traveling up her shirt to undo her bra to removed both. They both laughed before they were caught up in each other.


Sunlight shined through the window onto two forms one sleeping the other one watching. Harry stared down at his beautiful wife. He sucked in a breath, wife. He had a wife, Ginny was his. He couldn’t believe how much he loved this wonderful, stunning person laying next to him. In that moment he made a promise to himself and to Ginny. He would protect her no matter what. He would make sure she survived this war. Looking back down at her he noticed that she was now awake and watching him. A huge smile formed on her face.

“What did you have in mind for today?” Ginny asked

“Well I was thinking we could stay right here” Harry said while running his hand along her flat belly.

“Oh I think that could be arranged Mr. Potter.” They grinned at each other before they lost themselves in the moment.

It was several hours later before they decided to get up and walk along the beach and explore the little Muggle village not far from shell cottage. They walked out to the cliffs and watched the ocean pound the rocks below.

“It looks so vicious right here, but if you look over there it looks so gentle” Ginny mused and point down towards the beach a little ways away and you could see the gentle waves.

“I know what you mean love. Kind of like you. You have a temper one minute and the next you are sweet and gentle” Ginny glared at Harry while he smiled down at her. Her glare softening and her mouth turning up into a smile.

“Prat”

“Yeah, but I am your prat.” He leaned down and captured Ginny’s mouth with his. “I love you Ginevra Potter more than anything.”

“Let’s go to the village now, I want to see what a quaint Muggle village looks like.”

Harry laughed and allowed himself to be dragged away by his wife. They walked along the sidewalks looking in the shops and buying small trinkets here and there. They finally decided to stop at a small café for lunch. They ordered and went to find a table towards the back when Harry heard Ginny gasp.

“You bastard.” Ginny growled and went to pull out her wand.

“I wouldn’t do that, Miss Weasley or should I say Mrs. Potter?” Severus Snape sat at the back table away from prying eyes he had his wand on the table with his hand over it.

Harry growled viscously and pulled Ginny behind him. “Harry let me at him; I want to kill the bastard.” Ginny struggled against Harry’s grasp but she stopped when he gave her a look. She took a step to the side which clearly indicated that she was standing beside Harry no matter what and continued to stare at Snape.

“What the hell do you want Snape?”

“Well Potter I am surprisingly here to talk to you. I am even willing to hand over my wand to you temporarily to prove that I mean you and Miss Weasley no harm.” He held his wand out to Harry and wasn’t surprised when Ginny was the one to rip it from his hand.

“Fine we will give you 15 minutes.” Harry and Ginny sat down across from him and waited expectantly for him to start.

“First off Potter, I did kill Dumbledore but it was on his orders so that Draco would not have to.”

“What are you talking about? No way in hell would Professor Dumbledore tell you to kill him.” Harry responded hotly.

“Yes, Potter he would if he was already dying. You saw his arm the curse that caused that was slowly killing him. He probably had two maybe three months left. He wanted to go on his terms. The Dark Lord gave Draco a task and that was to kill Dumbledore. Narcissa Malfoy made me commit to an unbreakable vow. When I told Dumbledore this, he made me promise to complete the task and not let Draco do it.” Snape could see the shock in the young couple’s eyes.

“Potter, contrary to what you believe I have no desire to see you dead. I promised Dumbledore that I would make sure to the best of my ability that you would survive. I came here today because I just received word from the Dark Lord. He knows about your recent marriage and he has plans to kidnap Ginny to make you suffer, Harry. The plans he has for her are gross and nothing that I want to relive. She cannot go back to Hogwarts for her seventh year.” Snape looked over at Ginny he could tell that she was pale.
Harry grabbed Ginny hand and looked at Snape “What do you propose we do?”

“I have a plan, but you are not going to like it.” Snape took a deep breath. “The only way that I can think of is to kidnap Ginny before the dark lord can.”

“What do you mean?”

“I mean we take Ginny and hide her somewhere that no one can find her or will expect her to be.”

“Where would that be?” Ginny questioned with a shaky voice.

Snape sneered “The muggle world.”
