Ch 3. Louis Weasley’s Wedding
Louis Weasley and Amanda
Ch 3. Louis Weasley’s Wedding
Shortly after they were engaged, Louis received a ten thousand US dollar check in the mail from PWFFO, the Potter and Weasley Family Foundation Office, with a note from his father, “A little capital so you do not have to worry about money. We will meet with you and Amanda to work out a budget for you for the next year.
“For your information, we have a pair of Elves who really want to work for you once you have a family. As I have told you, we really could use you at Dursley, Potter and Weasley LTD and the Potter and Weasley offices as soon as you graduate.
“Bill.”
Signing the letter Bill instead of Dad was a change. Louis was being treated as a grown up, which was nice.

June first, twenty-twenty-seven, Louis and Amanda had dinner together, and then Louis turned on the BBC News Channel, thinking he might catch up on what was happening in the Muggle world. GPS systems around the world were not working quite as well as they should, something that seemed to be happening with not only the American and Chinese systems but several other systems as well.
Louis went to the Wizards World Wide Web news channel on his computer. It sounded like the big battle between Albus, Cleo and the community of Magi with the Lord of the Dementors was going on or had just happened. The news coming in did indicate that it looked like Albus and Cleo may have won, but with numerous casualties.
Louis looked at his world watch. It was too late to try and call anyone. He would have to try tomorrow morning.
“Amanda,” Louis told his fiancé, “The big battle that Uncle Harry has been worried about seems to have happened. It is too late to call now, but first thing tomorrow I am going to call my father and try and see what has happened.
*
Since becoming engaged Louis and Amanda almost always ate together, at Louis’s apartment, and they met at seven-thirty to eat. Right at eight Louis called his father
“Hello, Louis,” a tired and weary sounding Bill Weasley answered.
“What do you know about the battle?” Louis wondered.
“Albus and Cleo defeated the Lord of the Dementors, but at a horrific cost,” Bill answered.
“Are you all right?” Louis gasped.
“I guess,” Bill sighed, “But your mother has a nasty gash on her face that blinded one eye.”
“Oh, no!” Louis muttered. “Anyone else?”
“Way too many,” Bill admitted. “Grandfather Weasley, Uncle Ron, Frank Longbottom, Mrs. Tonks, all dead. I’m sure the magical papers will have a full report. It is pretty rough over here right now.
“I’m at St. Mungo’s with your mother. They are trying to do something about the scarring on her face, but there is nothing they can do to save the eye.”
“Do we need to be there for funerals?” Louis wondered.
“It wouldn’t hurt,” Bill responded. “I’m too tired and strung out to think about it right now.”
Louis told Amanda, and they looked at their schedule. It would be hard to describe what was going on to their No-Maj professors and classmates, but Louis did think that it would be good to show up for the upcoming funerals.
*
“Thank you for showing up for the funerals,” Harry Potter told Louis as they were going over security for the upcoming wedding of Louis and Amanda. “Amanda’s guest list is reasonably small. There are a lot of Weasley and Potter’s, but I see you are only inviting family. The friends and others will meet at the New Burrow later.”
“We thought that would be better,” Louis replied. “Mum and dad Meijer are more than content to let others handle the arrangements for security. Amanda is a little clueless when it comes to wedding protocol, but her mother and my mother are working well together making the arrangements, and Amanda is just agreeing to everything.
“She is going to be beautiful! I have seen some of the honeymoon outfits. I’ve never seen her so pretty, so sexy.”
“Enjoy your time on Cleo’s island,” Harry laughed.
*
Amanda was in the office of a, well in the US they called them OB-GYN Midwives, although in England she guessed they called them Healer-Midwives.
“I have birth control potions for you, Amanda,” the witch told her. “Unless you want to get pregnant right away you should start taking them.”
“Is there a problem getting pregnant right away?” Amanda wondered.
“No, but I see you are going to marry about two weeks after what should be the start of your period, and you should be very fertile then. Veela and half-Veela usually do not have any problem becoming pregnant. Some witches want to wait, to establish a career or at least have enough money to buy a house and get settled.”
“Louis comes from a rich family,” Amanda reflected. “We met with the Family Financial Office, and as soon as we graduate from school and move to England we should have a house, and even a couple of Elves if we want them. I don’t think there is any reason to wait.”
“It is your choice, then,” the witch let Amanda know.
Amanda wasn’t sure what to do. Seeing Cleo, seeing Victoire with all her little children, seeing the whole wild Potter and Weasley families, she knew that she would have plenty of help raising a child or children. Somehow she was never very comfortable being a sexy single woman. Being a mother was different. Mothers were supposed to have breasts and hips and they were there for a reason, not just something for guys to stare at, something she had experienced too much of.
*
“I was given birth control potions today,” Amanda told Louis. “I’m not sure I’m going to take them.”
“If you do not take them and we start a family right away that is fine with me,” Louis replied. “I’m not the one who has to be pregnant, though.”
Amanda explained, “The girls in the family says it is usually fine, until the very end when you are too big. And I’m rather tall and substantial for a girl so I should have an easier time than really tiny gals those last months.”
In the end, not deciding was deciding, and Amanda never did take the birth control potions.
*
The whole family gathered the middle of June for the wedding of Louis and Amanda. It was held in a magical hotel in the middle of San Francisco. Harry had arranged to rent the entire hotel for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
Rose was Matron of Honor, and Scorpius was Best Man. Albus and Cleo were also in the wedding party. As was normal for Potter and Weasley weddings, there were plenty of children, with the usual amount of chaos and noise that accompanied a wedding with all the small children. It was a celebration of family, and Amanda was very aware that by not taking the birth control potions she was buying into this whole family thing.
If the occasion was mostly happy, there were too many indications of the recent battle and deaths. Grandmother Molly was there without grandfather Arthur. Roxanne Longbottom and her three children were there, without her husband. Roses mother was of course there, but her husband had also lost his life battling the Lord of the Dementors.
But it was mostly a happy wedding and reception, with plenty of children and chaos, family friendly and not a stilted formal wedding show.
*
Finally, Louis and Amanda were alone, in the hotel room in the magical hotel the whole family was staying at. Amanda was still in her wedding dress, and Louis was in his formal suit. After they entered the hotel room Louis gave Amanda a big kiss, and then started to take his formal wear off. Amanda just stood there, looking. Louis hung up the suit, and stripped down to his boxers. Amanda just stood there, looking at Louis. Louis asked, “Are you ready to get naked?”
Amanda replied, embarrassed but eager, “I need help un zippering the dress.”
Louis gently un zippered the dress. The wedding dress had a built in bra; when it was off all that Amanda was wearing was her knickers. Louis took off his boxers, and then gently took off Amanda’s knickers. They kissed standing up, then he sat down on the bed and had Amanda sit next to him. Louis went through a couple of spells that Amanda needed to say, then several for himself, his for self control because of what Albus told him. It was all about Amanda, thought Louis. Albus, in fact most of the husbands who he talked to, said that if he could make Amanda happy he would be a happy husband.
Amanda woke up first. She had never slept naked, but she did last night. Other than the thin sheet that was covering her the only thing on her last night was Louis, and he was on her a couple of times. He was INSIDE her. It felt fantastic, some of it because of the wedding spells, but some of it was because he was so patient. He kissed and held her and was so patient, and when he finally went into her she was so ready, so eager. When he finally … and then she … Oh, it was way more than she expected!
Louis woke up. Amanda was awake, smiling. Albus was right. You make your wife happy you are happy. They were going to have a late breakfast with the family, then go away for a week. “Take a shower together?” Louis asked. Amanda nodded. Having someone wash your back was very nice; having your spouse wash your front was erotic, and after the shower they had to get right back into bed for more …
Amanda put on a pretty dress, one she had bought for the honeymoon. She had never had any dresses that were low cut, but this one showed just the start of some cleavage. She felt different, a little embarrassed and a little proud at the same time. She sure was not a virgin any more, not after last night and this morning. Al and Cleo greeted the couple, Cleo used her wand again, then pulled Amanda into a big hug. She whispered into Amanda’s ear, “I can tell you enjoyed last night and this morning. Fantastic! I’m so happy for you.” Amanda looked at Cleo again. Cleo was a living celebration of everything sexual, sensual, and procreative. It could be real scary, it could and had backfired badly on occasion, but when you had just gotten married and were a little apprehensive about sex it was really good.
Amanda and Louis went over to greet her parents, her eleven-year-old sister and nine-year-old brother. Ann gave both Amanda and Louis a big hug. Tony shook Louis’s hand, took both of Amanda’s hands in his hands, looked at her, and said, “You’re not my little girl any more. You’re all grown up.” He gave Amanda a big hug.
“I feel grown up,” Amanda replied, looking at herself. I certainly feel different, she thought. The wedding spells, and what she and Louis did last night, did make a difference.
‘How was last night?” Anastasia asked with a big grin and a huge look of anticipation on her face.
Louis quickly answered, “None of your business. Do not ask again!”
Amanda had a big smile on her face, though, and looked at Louis with more than a little obvious lust, as she squeezed his hand and gave him what started out as a little kiss and ended up being way more than a little kiss.
Tony and Ann both glared at Anastasia, and she reluctantly shut up.
Andrew was really not paying any attention to his sister, or anybody in the family. He was just trying to keep an eye on Harry and Ginny Potter, Albus and Cleo Peverell, so he could tell his friends that he spent the weekend with them. He had even gotten the chance to talk to them. This wedding was the most fantastic thing in the world because the Potters were there, and, oh, his sister had gotten married as well.
*
It was warm on Resort Cleo, and would have been borderline hot except for the breeze blowing. The first thing Amanda noticed was that people did not wear many clothes on the island. The second thing she noticed were the happy children roaming around, playing. This was a very family friendly resort.
When they arrived in their room there was a notice about rules on the island. There were rules for where children could go, most places unsupervised, but only near the water when there was a competent adult to watch them, with spells to make sure that the children stayed where they should be.
She also noticed an illustration in the bathroom showing what was expected for bathing costumes, as they called swim suits. She knew that some beaches in Europe allowed nothing more than a small piece of cloth covering your most private parts. Here the bathing costume bottoms, for both men and women, needed to cover much more of you, being reasonably modest.
The female illustration didn’t show anything on top. Apparently covering your breasts was optional on the island. It was an interesting contradiction, modest on the bottom, tops optional.
She left the bathroom and saw a naked Louis putting clothes in drawers, looking for his swim trunks she thought. He found them and turned to look at her, and looked at her with what they both agreed was a gentle lust. She loved how he always wanted to please her.
Louis was handsome. His face was masculine and good looking, his chest, his abs and upper body were well formed, with wide shoulders and a tiny bottom, the classic T shaped male. She loved touching him, putting her softer more padded body against his.
Louis looked at his wife, amazed that this beautiful half Veela women was married to him. She had beautiful natural blond hair, thick and yellow, with the slightest hint of curl, more body than normal for blond hair. Blue eyes, and an oval face that was just beautiful.
She was a reasonably large girl, with breasts that were almost too large. She had used a levitation spell on them, and he could stare at them for hours. She loved it when he gently played with them, something he still found amazing. A reasonably narrow waist, a little belly where most women who were not too thin had a little fat, and beautiful well shaped ample hips and legs.
They went into each other’s arms, and then to bed, to engage in honeymoon activities, before putting sunscreen on each other, another delightful task, and going out to the beach.
Life was good.

“I have an appointment with a midwife tomorrow,” Amanda told Louis. “I need to shop for new bras and some more clothes.’
“You’ve grown rather spectacularly since our wedding,” Louis admitted, looking at his wife.
“I know what the midwife will say,” Amanda frowned, before getting a shy smile on her face. “No period since our wedding, and I’m getting huge on top. Some Veela don’t have any morning sickness, not much any way. I feel different, but not really sick.”
*
“Your offices are next to each other,” Bill told Louis and Amanda. “Amanda, I can keep you busy reviewing financial statements full time. We have partners in most of the businesses, and things can get real complicated. I have a couple of good accountants, but they could use the help.
“Your female Elf will bring you the baby to nurse, and otherwise take care of her baby and your baby in the nursery and child care area of Dursley, Potter and Weasley LTD and,” Bill grinned, “affiliated companies.”
Bill turned to Louis. “You are going to be visiting companies with staff for the next year, and eventually take over running one or two for a time until we can get good management in place. People retire, things happen, and we need to send someone in to learn about a company and how to get it running smoothly again.
“Figure a day a week in the office. At least as a wizard you should be able to be home most nights. It shouldn’t be that way, but as a Weasley and part of the Potter and Weasley family you have more authority and respect that if you were someone else. It shouldn’t work that way, but it does.
“I really need the help.”
*
Louis and Amanda ended up having four children, a Veela boy like Louis and a boy who was not half Veela, a half-Veela girl and a full Veela girl.
Raising even a half Veela child did pose some challenges, and raising a full Veela girl posed even more challenges. Despite the challenges, Amanda was a reasonably good mother, although she did have plenty of help, family and Elf.
And they lived happily ever after, well as happy as you could expect, most of the time.
