Chapter 52>> The reception

Song of the Chapter>> How long will I love you? By Ellie Goulding.

It was time for the first dance and the music of choice was put on. Everyone made a circle around the newlywed as they got into position. Fred placed his right hand on Orion's waist, his left in hers and her right hand rested on his shoulder. "You ready?" Asked Fred. 

Orion nodded, "Let's do this!" 

How long will I love you?
As long as stars are above you
And longer, if I can.

The danced slowly together, her head resting on his chest. She whispered the lyrics to Fred as they danced her eyes never leaving his. 

How long will I need you?
As long as the seasons need to
Follow their plan.  

Fred pressed a kiss to her forehead and hushed in her ear, "Nice choice of song, Mrs Weasley."

She smiled up at him, "Thank you, Mr Weasley, we are still doing the Macarena later?" 

"Duh," Fred said just as his parents and other guests joined in on the dancing. "That's my jam, baby, my bread and butter."

How long will I be with you?
As long as the sea is bound to
Wash upon the sand.

How long will I want you?
As long as you want me to
And longer by far.

The dance was slow and gentle, reflecting calmness and love between the pair. It was a sum up of their vows and what they promised to each other. Fred spun her around slowly before lifting her carefully into the air causing her to giggle despite it being so slow. Fred thought he would hate dancing to a slow song but agreed to it because he trusted Orion, but now he enjoyed it and vowed to listen to the song a lot to remind him of the happiest day of his life so far, the second being the day he and George opened Weasley's Wizard Wheezes. He gazed down at his wife who was muttering the lyric, her eyes closed as she let the music take her and Fred guide her. He smiled declaring himself the luckiest man alive. 

How long will I hold you?
As long as your father told you,
As long as you can.

How long will I give to you?
As long as I live through you
However long you say.

"Fred?"

"Mhmm?"

"I love you, you fool."

"I love you too, my darling." 

How long will I love you?
As long as stars are above you
And longer, if I may.  

Orion looked up at Fred, "We're all travelling through time together

Every day of our lives.

All we can do is do our best

To relish this remarkable ride." She said quoting the end spoken part of the song. Fred dipped his head and kissed her just as the Macarena started playing. 

The pair looked at each other and burst out laughing before starting the dance. Sirius and Remus ran over to join them, Tonks following them, as well as George who all joined the couple in doing the dance. Eventually, most of the guests (even those who had to copy others to get the moves right), joined in. 

It was the best day of the pair's lives.

The night had come to an end, and Orion had to slip her heels off half-way through because her feet were aching. They were slung to the side of the tent not to be touched until everything was cleared up. The Weasley's, Sirius and Remus were cleaning the tent, Tonks was inside the Burrow checking on Teddy and Hermione and Harry was carrying wedding gifts into the house. "Merlin, I love you." Whispered Fred as he wrapped his arms around Orion's waist from the back, "Will you marry me?"

"Fred, we've just got married, hun." Orion chuckled pushing him off. "How are you so drunk? I drank the same as you! I am only a little tipsy."

"He gave me loads when you were not looking, naughty boy, very handsome, but naughty."Fred pointed at George who was also drunk out of his mind. "He stole my looks! Thief!"

George stumbled over to the pair, "I am no thief! You stole my face! Bastard!" He threw a punch at Fred who fortunately ducked, "And where is my ear-my lovely ear!" George burst into tears and fell to the ground in a ball, clutching the space where his ear used to be. "That crazy man stole my face and now I haven't got an ear!"

Bill approached the three, Orion tipsy and looking after George and Fred, the former on the floor crying the latter whining about a face thief. "Ry? What's going on?"

"They're both smashed and complaining about the other stealing their faces, and George is upset about his ear being missing." She stumbled a bit, Bill catching her. 

"And how much have you had to drink, missus?" 

"A lot less than these two that's for sure. Can you help them get inside, I need to finish clearing up."Orion replied, and went to walk away but Bill stopped her. 

"No, we can finish clearing up, you get to bed, you look half asleep anyway." Bill said guiding her and the twins out of the tent, "Fleur, darling, can you help get the twins into the house and make sure Ry goes to bed, I'll finish up and be inside in a mo." 

Fleur nodded and linked her arm with Orion's, "Let's go zen." She said and pushed the twins into the house. "Up to bed, ze lot of you. Villiam's orders."

Molly smiled as the three stumbled up the stairs, the twins still bickering. Orion entere dand grabbed some pyjamas before leaving to go the bathroom as the twins stripped and changed. By the time she got back and hung her dress up the twins were sparko, absolutely asleep, snoring like dogs, or so she thought. She crawled into bed beside Fred and slung her arm around his waist. "Goodnight wife of mine," Fred mumbled pulling her closer. 

"Goodnight husband of mine, "She mocked.

"Goodnight George." George added, "Fucking bastards not including me, what am I chopped liver?"

"Goodnight George."
