Susie spun around in her graduation robes, laughing. Sirius grabbed her by the waist to stop her spinning.

"Babe, you're gonna kill yourself. We haven't graduated yet." Susie looked over at James and Lily. She smiled. They had FINALLY gotten together after Susie had made Lily realize that she really did have a thing for "Potter" now James and the usual "babe".

All of the graduating 7th years were sitting outside, waiting for Dumbledore to finish his speech and the calling of the names to begin. Sirius seemed kind of antsy and kept fidgeting with something in his pocket. He looked at Susie and she smiled at him. He loved her so much.

James looked at Lily who was seated in his lap. He couldn't believe that they were dating. He had waited ages and finally his dream had come true. Lily smiled at him and stopped toying with his hair.

"James, are you nervous? I mean, we have our whole lives ahead of us after this."

James twirled a strand of her red hair around his finger.

"Don't worry Lilikins, all I know is that I want to spend my life with you." Lily blushed and looked down. James smiled and looked at Sirius. His friend looked nervous and he knew why. He was busting to tell Lily but so far, only the Marauders knew.

Professor McGonagall came bustling out, calling to the lounging 7th years that they must get in order. Sirius squeezed Susie's hand and went off in search of the Bs. She caught up with James, who was on his way back to P.

"James, I'm excited," she told him as they walked back. James laughed.

"You should be. This graduation is going to change your life." Susie looked puzzled and James found P and gave her a little wave.

Susie smoothed out her robes as she walked into the Great Hall. Sirius turned around from the front and winked at her. She spotted her grandfather in the crowd, along with her cousin. He had already graduated.

Susie currently wasn't speaking to her cousin. He had been the one taking the pictures of her and Remus. When she had found this out, she had angrily confronted her cousin, who had confessed to handing the pictures over to the Slytherins. He hadn't realized how far they would take them. She didn't plan on ratting him out to her grandfather although Sirius said she should, but as far as she saw him, he was just a guy living in her house with her grandfather.

"Sirius Orion Black" Sirius looked at Susie before he went up on stage.

She noticed Remus and Vicky quietly talking. They weren't dating yet, but they were close. Both had admitted they had feelings for each other but after a long period of not talking, they decided to take it slow and get to know each other better.

"Lily Hope Evans."

Susie smiled in joy at graduating and content that all her friends were finally happy. The only sad thing was that Elisa, Remus' old girlfriend, had dropped out of school this year. She had moved to America to start treating her disease. Remus had had a fit when he had found out about Elisa's cancer. He had holed himself up for days until finally, Elisa left. It had been Vicky to bring Remus out of his depression.

Last she had heard, Elisa was doing well. The doctors were telling her that the cancer was starting to subside and she would be coming to England in a few months. She wasn't bitter about Remus and Vicky, she was glad he was happy and she really wanted to see James and Lily.

"Remus J. Lupin." Remus went up, proudly receiving the parchment that stated he had graduated from Hogwarts. Representatives from different lines of work that they could take, including the Ministry of Magic were there.

Susie had decided against an Auror job, knowing that it was a risk to be an auror. She had finally decided to join the Wizarding Professors Training Academy to become a DADA professor. She had always wanted to teach at Hogwarts.

"Victoria Daphne Lafayette" Vicky proudly marched onto the platform, tossing her brown hair over her shoulder. She smiled radiantly at the crowd and was immediately approached by photographers with business card. Vicky's dream was to become a Wizarding model.

Sirius grinned at her from the chairs where he was sitting. Rainzzi waved from her seat also. Susie grinned back.

"Susannah Jocelyn McFasley" Sirius whooped as she went on stage and accepted her parchment. When she marched off, Danley Miswat, from the WPTA approached her with a packet of papers she had to fill out.

"James Andrew Potter" James proudly marched on, grinning madly at the crowd and blowing Lily a kiss. She blushed. He was approached by representatives from the World Quidditch Federation.

Susie was sitting next to Lily when she saw Sirius get up and walk back towards the platform. Dumbledore looked up down at him and Susie thought he was going to be told to go back to his seat, but surprisingly, he gave up the platform.

Sirius looked nervous as he looked around and took a crumbled piece of parchment out of his pocket. He cleared his throat.

"Hi everyone. As you may all know, I'm Sirius Black and I just graduated. Now, um, as a lot of you all know, I'm dating a beautiful girl named Susie McFasley." Everyone turned to look at Susie. She blushed. He looked directly at her from the stage.

"Susie, the last 2 years have been the greatest 2 years of my life. All the memories we've made together. I fell in love with you as soon as Remus showed me your picture. But it's not just your beauty that I love about you, it's your smile, it's the way you make me laugh, it's the way you make all those funny expressions that make you, you. Your brutal honesty, your attitude, but the way you can be sweet too. You're there for me at the hardest times of my life and always there to listen. I realized a long time ago that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with you." He stepped down from the platform and went over to her, getting down on one knee and pulling out a small box.

"Susie McFasley, I love you. Do me the honor of being my wife. Marry me?" Lily gasped and Susie looked shocked and happy at the same time. After a nerve wracking couple of seconds, Susie threw her arms around Sirius' neck.

"Yes I'll marry you!" she exclaimed, tears of joy running down her face. Sirius took her hand and slipped a ring on it. The diamond sparkled in the light as he hugged her. Everyone started to cheer at the newly engaged couple.

After all the chaos, James and Lily approached the couple. He grinned at Sirius and they enveloped each other in a hug. Lily launched herself at Susie.

"You're going to be a wife," she cried into Susie's shoulder.

"I know!!" Susie said back.

Remus and Vicky came after, hugging Susie. Remus chuckled as James hugged Susie and affectionately called her dirt, earning a hearty slap from her. Lily giggled.

"Susie! I am going to help plan your wedding!" Vicky called. She kissed Susie on both cheeks. "I know we haven't been the greatest of friends, but I would be honored to help you with your wedding." Susie smiled and pulled both Vicky and Lily into hugs.

"Lils, you're going to be my maid of honor and Vics, you're gonna be a bridesmaid."

Next approaching was her grandfather.

"I see you are going to be getting married," he said quietly. She reached up to hug her grandfather.

"Yes Grandfather, I'm going to be married." He smiled finally.

"Well, I suppose this is as good of time as any." He fumbled with some papers in his pockets and finally pulled out a stack of papers.

"These are yours." Susie looked over them.

"Grandfather, these are the deeds to the manor and all the land." She looked shocked. He nodded.

"Your cousin didn't want it, he is moving to America and I already wrote it out that the house is officially yours. It was going to be a graduation gift, but now it can be a wedding gift." Susie looked down at the papers before giving her Grandfather a hug, a tight one. He looked surprised. Then he actually hugged her back.

He put a folder down on top of the stack.

"Here are the house elves contracts. They are employed and paid for the next 10 years, all of them. Think of it as an investment." Susie smiled again, tears in her eyes.

Rainzzi and William ambled over.

"Congratulations," William said, shaking her hand.

"Come here," she said, pulling him into a hug. He seemed surprised and then he relaxed. Rainzzi enveloped her in a hug next.

"Oh I almost forgot. We have a meeting on Tuesday to discuss the company. It's at 3:00, don't be late." Rainzzi pecked her cheek before leaving with William in tow. Susie collapsed into a chair, examining the ring Sirius had given her. It was a gold band with 3 diamonds in a row across it.

Remus sat down next to her.

"Well you're getting married," he said smiling. Susie put her arm around him.

"Yeah, I know. This is crazy huh?" Remus nodded. The two talked for a little while more until Sirius came by.

"I have come to fetch my fiancée," he announced. Remus let go of her and gave her a hug farewell.

"We'll be seeing you later Moony," Sirius said, putting his arm around Susie's shoulders and leading her off.

"Where are we off to?" he asked. They stopped at the tree by the lake.

"Sit down, I have to show you something." Sirius sat down against the tree and Susie pulled the papers and set them down in his lap, kneeling in front of him. Sirius rifled through the papers.

"These are deeds and contracts…" he said, his brow furrowed.

"To the manor, my grandfather gave them to me! We have everything! He's leaving everything except his personal stuff." Sirius jumped up and took Susie in his arms, spinning her around, then stopped and kissed her.

A throat cleared behind them. Susie turned around in Sirius' arms. Standing behind her was Chase DeSantos. She smiled at him and untangled herself from Sirius' arms.

"Hey," he said quietly, his graduation robes in his hands.

"Hey."

"I thought you'd marry Black," he said, a smile playing at his lips. Susie giggled and hugged Chase.

"Chase, are you going to WPTA?" she asked. Chase nodded.

"I'm going to study to be a Arithmancy professor." Susie smiled.

"Yay! I'm studying to be a DADA professor."

"Ahah! My adversary!" Susie laughed and then her expression turned grave. She grabbed Chase's arm.

"Did you…?" Chase shook his head and pulled up his sleeve. No dark mark.

"Good," she sighed with relief. Rainzzi hadn't gotten one either. It seemed both these Slytherins had some common sense.

"Anyways, I'm going back to my flat. I'll stop by sometime, okay? At the manor?" Susie nodded and Chase disappeared with a wave. Sirius put his arms around Susie.

"Let's go home," he said, burying his face in her hair.


"James! Put me down!!" Lily screeched as James carried her into his flat. Laying her on his bed, he began to trail kisses down her neck, and on the exposed skin of her chest. He looked up at her. Her eyes were closed and her face held a look of pleasure.

Slowly unbuttoning the buttons to her shirt, he placed kisses on the newly exposed skin, finally getting the shirt off. She moaned as he kissed her flat stomach, his tongue dipping into her navel.

He worked his way downward, unzipping her jeans and pulling them off her legs. Lily assisted him by wriggling her legs till the jeans were at her feet. This left Lily in her black lacy bra and matching knickers.

Lily hooked her leg around James', reversing their positions. Lily was now straddling James' hips on top of the bed. She deftly popped open the buttons to his shirt, playing with his tie.

Untying the tie off of him with her teeth, Lily got down to his pants. She finally got the slacks off and began to work on his neck. James moaned as her teeth scraped up against his neck.

The positions reversed themselves again, James now back on top of Lily. He reached behind Lily, unclasping her bra. He looked at her for approval. He knew he wouldn't be able to stop himself now.

Lily was excited and nervous at the same time. This wasn't the first time she had had sex, but this was her first time with James. She had made him wait 6 months for this. Lily had made the decision the night before that she was ready to give James what he wanted, what he had been pushing for, for the last 6 months.

She knew she was in love with him, just as much as he loved her. As he kissed her breasts, causing her to arch her back in pleasure, she came back from her pleasure high and decided to do it.

"James, I love you," she breathed. James stopped and looked at her. Then he grinned.

"I love you too," he told her back, kissing her hard on the mouth, their tongues entangling with each other. Finally they shed each other of their remaining clothes and James forged into Lily, causing her to scream in ecstasy.

When they both finished, laying next to each other, Lily fell asleep, her hand entwined with James', their legs tangled together.


"So do you want to just come home and talk?" Remus asked Vicky. She bit her bottom lip and suddenly looked shy.

"Sure." She had never been to Remus' house. She knew he was still living with his parents. She had just never met them.

Apparating to his house, they stopped at a fairly large cottage in the hills. Remus opened the door, ushering Vicky in. His parents had left for Scotland after Remus' graduation for some alone time without Remus or his brother.

"Rom," he called. A tall boy with dark blonde hair and Remus' amber colored eyes came shuffling out, rubbing sleep out of his eyes. He eyed Vicky.

"Hello there," he said.

"Hi," she smiled. Remus introduced them.

"Romulus, Vicky. Vicky, Romulus." He sat down at the kitchen table and conjured up some pumpkin juice for her to drink. She gingerly sat down at the table.

"Don't be shy," he said after an awkward moment. Romulus was searching around in the refrigerator.

"I'm going back to sleep," he said, shuffling back to his room and shutting the door.

"He's friendly," Vicky commented.

"When he's not sleeping," Remus said with a smile. Remus reached across the table and took Vicky's hand, entwining his fingers with hers. He couldn't help it. She looked so sweet, just staring down at the pumpkin juice with a small smile on her face.

She tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear.

"This company wants to represent me, you know, as a model. They said I'm perfect for it and that they'd have me famous in no time."

"That's great Vicky, you should follow your dreams," he said, his thumb stroking her hand.

"Yeah, but I'm skeptical." He looked up at her.

"About what?"

"I don't know. I'm kind of scared to get into this, you know?" Remus nodded.

"I understand. It's your decision."

"And I still have to help Susie plan her wedding! That's my top priority," she suddenly announced. Remus chuckled.

"That it is."
