A/N Warning~ This story is slightly OOC. It's their adult lives~

I woke up with a pounding headache. I turned and groaned and looked at the ceiling.

Flashback

I felt my friends Marlene Mckinnon and Alexis Michaels dragged me out of bed. My warm, soft, and comfy bed was calling me. I felt myself glare. "I don't want to go Marlene!" I said whining slightly.

Alexis and Marlene grinned. "Lily, you are getting married! You need to live before marrying Amos Diggory, " Marlene said making a face. She didn't make that sort of face at him when we were at Hogwarts.

I glared again. "Leave Amos alone. Just promise me nothing bad will happen, Amos didn't even want me to go."

Alexis and Marlene exchanged looks. Amos Diggory was a very old fashioned wizard and to his defense I sometimes agreed with him. Alexis grinned and she crossed her fingers. Did she really think I didn't see that? "I swear, we won't let you do anything stupid while you're with us."

Marlene nodded. "As long as you're with us and you can't use magic where we are going. At least not in public."

I groaned but gave in. Alexis took out her wand and waved it around. My things flew from the dressers into a suitcase. Marlene used her wand and shrunk the suitcase. I stood up and rubbed my tired green eyes.

Marlene smiled. "You got five minutes to get ready."

I rolled my eyes and went to my bathroom. I brushed my teeth and combed my cursed red hair. When I looked decent I left the bathroom and huffed. Alexis liked to play dress up and pick out every outfit I wore. I used to fight it seeing she was about 5'2 and very small but I quickly learned not to mess with Alexis Michaels. She reminded me of Alice from the twilight series, a ridiculous vampire story. She smiled and went down the stairs. I pulled my tank top off quickly and threw it into a hamper. I pulled the sundress on and the sandals. I went downstairs and crossed my arms.

Marlene huffed. "You took too long now let's go."

Alexis grinned. "Are you ready for some fun Lily-Bean?"

I shook my head. "Fun with you guys is never just fun." Even though I knew something bad was going to happen I held my hand out. Marlene and Alexis put their hands over mine and we apparated. We whooshed through the air and landed with a splash. I groaned. We landed into a fountain. Gee, what a way to start the trip.

Marlene glared at Alexis. "I told you I should have done it."

Alexis scoffed but looked around. "Ladies, welcome to Las Vegas!"

Marlene grinned. "It's pretty."

I couldn't help but nod. It was midday. Most of the lights weren't turned on but you could tell it was a breath taking sight.

"Much different from London," Marlene commented. We stepped out of the fountain and secretly dried ourselves off with our wands. I was thankful for the sundress now. It was really hot here. Alexis pointed to a grand looking hotel. We walked inside it. The main lobby was white and had very fine furnishings and furniture. A bored looking attendant was at the front desk.

I held my hand up. "I'll pay since you two don't have any American dollars."

Alexis grinned. "We love you Lily."

I rolled my eyes and went to the front desk. The attendant looked up. "May I help you?"

I nodded. "Can we have a room with two beds?"

The attendant rolled her eyes. "Of course, will you please submit a valid credit card and show some identification."

I reached into my bag and took out an id I had made and a muggle credit card. Marlene stared at it curiously.

The attendant scanned it and handed me a key card. "Enjoy your stay with us, won't you."

I huffed. "We will." I went back to Marlene and Alexis.

Alexis giggled. "Can we try those elevators we learned about in muggle studies?" Marlene nodded excitedly.

I laughed. "Alright let's go." The girls nearly ran to the end of the hall to an elevator. They pushed the button and waited. When it came I walked in but Alexis and Marlene ran in.

They held onto the bar tightly. "We are ready!"

I stared. I pushed the button to their floor. Alexis even closed her eyes. The elevator moved slowly up the floors.

I crossed my arms. "You guys can open your eyes."

Marlene looked around. "Amazing." She whispered. "There's no music. I like the ones in the ministry better. They are also faster."

I laughed. "Well muggles invented these first."

Alexis grinned. The doors opened at our floor and we walked down the hall. I looked at the card. We are in room 503.

Marlene gave Alexis a look.

I looked at them. "What?" Alexis gave me a sly smile and Marlene looked almost apologetic. "We forgot to mention something."

I narrowed my eyes. "What?"

"The Marauders are on this floor."

I glared. "What did you say?"

Alexis smirked. "Well, Sirius just had a divorce so I thought he should celebrate being free from her.." She and Marlene shivered.

I hit my head. "What room number."

Alexis grinned. "502."

I hit her with my bag. "Ow. That hurt."

I glared. "You know what that means?"

Marlene smiled. "Potter."

Alexis rubbed her head. "Your strong enough to handle him Lily."

"Did I just hear the name Lily?" A deep voice asked. I spun around and came face to face with the devil himself. I found myself staring. He was even taller then I remembered, but me being fairly short myself it wasn't hard to beat me. His hazel eyes sparkled mischievously. His dark hair was still wind swept and his lips were so inviting. You could see how fit he was from all the years of quidditch through his shirt.

He smirked at my staring. "Alright there, Evans?"

I quickly found my voice again. "Potter."

Alexis gave me a knowing smirk. She took the key from me. Marlene smiled and went with her to the room.

He was still smirking. Prat. "Do I get a hug?"

I sighed in defeat. I tried to hug him quickly but he held onto me. He kissed my cheek and spun me around. I felt the blood rush to my face. That's one of the main things I hate about being a redhead we go red all over. He finally let go when I heard something pop.

I looked at him and couldn't help but smile. "How are you?"

He smiled showing his perfect white teeth. "Much better now, Padfoot needed a break from the UK."

I nodded and looked at him. "I swear you better not try anything. You know as well as I do I'm engaged."

He grinned. "Evans, you know I would never try to do anything." He crossed his fingers. Why do people try that? I can see it. Hello? We aren't two anymore.

I rolled my eyes. "Say hi to my favorite Marauder."

James frowned. "Who?"

I smiled. "Remus." I walked past him smiling and I knocked on the door.

Alexis opened it smirking. "So you got a date?"

I threw my only bag at her and she caught it laughing.

Marlene smiled. "Strange things happen in Vegas Lily."

I glared. "Where'd you get that stupid line a movie?"

Marlene looked a little guilty. "A fanfiction story online."

I giggled. Alexis grinned and pulled out my suitcase. She mumbled something and it grew back to its normal size. She started digging through it. She pulled out a navy blue cocktail dress and some silver heels. "Lily."

I groaned. "A club?"

She and Marlene exchanged looks. "Don't be a party dung."

I narrowed my eyes. "Party pooper."

"Whatever, now go get changed!" I secretly smiled and snatched the dress up and headed to the bathroom.

I decided to curl my hair with the dress and the heels were stunning silver. The dress fit nicely and I had to admit, I looked good.

Marlene straightened her normally wavy hair and Alexis tied hers up. Marlene cornered me and I now had a very tiny amount of make up on, but I must admit, my eyes do pop now. Alexis's dramatic look went well with her red dress. Marlene's make-up was in the middle. I had my wand with me still, just in case.

Alexis looked us over and smirked. "We are ready." We held our hands out and apparated to the club.

Club Tabu was a very small club; I doubt it would fit more then 400 people in it. Everything looked very expensive and the sound system was amazing. The staff was all models, and the bartenders were flirts. They even had rooms so you could move away from prying eyes. I went over to the bar and smiled at the bartender who had a smirk. "How can I help you?"

I grinned. "I'll take a Long Island Iced Tea."

"It will be on me." A familiar voice said next to me. The bartender nodded. "Coming right up doll."

I turned to my side and smiled. "Sirius Black, sorry about Marla."

He waved it off. "Wasn't mean to be or something and my my…Lily does Amos know your dressing like that?"

I frowned. "Don't lecture me…is James here?"

He smirked. "Want me to go get him?"

"No, just keep him away from me. I'm engaged Black."

"Yet I see no ring."

"I didn't want to lose it.." I said rather quickly even for my liking. Sirius smirked. "You owe me a dance now where is your friend?"

I didn't even have to guess who he was talking about. He and Marlene had a thing and always had this connection. Plus, she was the only one who could control him.

I chuckled. "Floor." He nodded and headed over to the dance floor. I looked over and saw none other then Remus Lupin making out with Alexis. Alexis had a huge crush on Remus and by the looks of it. He was smashed. I looked at my watch. It took all but five minutes. The bartender came back with my drink and slipped me a piece of paper with numbers on it.

"Enjoy," He said winking. I smiled and took a sip. I had a feeling this tea wasn't very innocent as it sounded. A small rush flew throughout my body and I felt relaxed. The drink was gone quickly and another replaced it. I felt someone tap my shoulder. A cute Blonde guy with really blue eyes was standing there.

"Would you like to dance?" I couldn't help but frown. I honestly expected Potter to beg me to dance right away. I saw him dancing with another redhead. Well, nice to know he still has a thing for redheads.

I huffed. "Lets go," I said smiling. He grinned and held his hand out. I took it and he led me to the floor, near James and his mystery skank. Wait. Did I just call her a skank? Is Lily Evans jealous? No. The music changed to a familiar song. I found myself wrapping my arms around his neck dancing fairly close. He smiled and held me close. I didn't even have to look up. I could feel Potter's eyes on me. I smirked to myself. The guy was a decent dancer. At least he didn't step on my toes like Benjy. I thought my toes would have been deformed.

The guy smiled. "I'm Kyle," He said loudly over the music.

I smiled. "I'm Lily." He turned me and kept looking at me with a strange look in his eyes. The look a dog gets when your cooking bacon in the morning. The look when a predator finds its prey. I was starting to dislike his company. The song ended and a new one quickly came on. Another tap on my shoulder made me spin around.

James was standing there with murder in his eyes. "May I cut in?" He said with his voice partly politely and partly laced with venom. Oh Potter, you're so funny.

Kyle smiled. "Very popular Lily. Save me another dance,"

He said kissing my hand. I shuddered accidentally. He walked away. James looked at him and then me. He relaxed. "Dance with me Evans?" I was staring again. He had a simple red button up shirt and dark jeans on and he still looked stunning. Wait. When does James Potter not look stunning? I'd like to see that. Even when he was hung over with his shirt inside out and terrible bags under his eyes you could never say he looked bad.

He chuckled. "You like staring don't you."

I glared. "I wasn't staring."

He laughed. "So dance with me?"

The music changed again.

I smiled. "I'd love to Potter." I took his hand and went out to the floor. He held me close and I felt all logic and sense leave me. Butterflies flew to my stomach and I found myself blushing. I wrapped my arms around his neck and inhaled his wonderful scent. They really need to make a fragrance like this. We started to move and he started to sing. "Grab somebody sexy and tell them hey." I giggled.

We continued dancing and when the music ended I didn't even think about what I was going to say next. "Want to get a drink?"

Potter smiled. "I'd love too as long as I'm buying."

I huffed. "Alright, I get the next drink then."

He smirked. "So there is another drink soon?"

I smiled. "Maybe…now lets go."

Sirius was at the bar with Marlene under his arm. "I think we are going to head out Jamie-kins." I giggled.

Potter glared. "Don't call me that but have a good night mate." Sirius chuckled. "We will." Marlene giggled and stumbled as she walked with him out.

I sighed. "She's going to be mad tomorrow morning."

"But have fun tonight." He pointed out.

"True."

"So, Lily why Amos?" I gulped. I hated these questions.

I shrugged. "He was the first to ask me. He's talented, has a job already, kind…"

"Yet, I don't hear the words handsome, funny, makes me happy. Are you happy Lily?"

"What happened to Evans?"

"I like changing it up."

"So I see."

"You didn't answer my question."

"I am."

"Good, so what are you doing now?"

"Well, I considered becoming an Auror but."

"But?"

"Amos said I shouldn't." Actually that was a lie. He ordered me not too. Said it was un-lady like and I hated fighting with him. It was one of the first fights we had and I just let him win. It wasn't worth fighting over.

"That's it? You'd make an amazing Auror Lily."

"Thanks but it would upset him."

"You always did put someone else's needs in front of yours…"

"So?"

"I'm just saying. Maybe you should anyway. It would make you happy and what does Amos got to lose?"

I paused. "Me."

James laughed. It was a beautiful sound. "I'd be there to protect you if you needed it. Do what you want Lily. Its your life."

He got me. That prat had me and he knew it. He knew he was right. It is my life. Not Amos's. My life.

"Alright James, I'll take you up on that."

"You called me James!" He said excitedly.

"Its your name right? I forget since your always Potter."

"Funny."

We both took long drinks. He looked at me almost hesitantly.

"Lily, tell me honestly would you have ever considered me if I asked?"

I paused. I never thought about it. The tea was ordering me to answer honestly so I did.

"As a teenager, no, now I wouldn't even have to think about it."

"I didn't hear a yes or a no." I heard the smirk in his voice.

I took another sip of my drink and felt my sight go blurry. The last thing I remember was grabbing his shirt collar and looking into his hazel eyes and saying yes kissing him as roughly as I could.

The rest was a blur. Wait. I kissed Potter. James freaking Potter. Great, I drink for the first time in my life and I kiss Potter. I'm engaged…. Ugh. Hopefully Potter forgets completely and everything can go back to normal. I get married everything goes off without a hitch, yadda yadda. Oh happy days. I become Lily Diggory as planned.

I felt an arm pull me closer to a body. Wait…I am naked. Holy shit. I fought against the strong force holding me and I turned around to face the mystery man. I found myself face to face with non other then James Potter. I screamed causing him to jump with alarm. "Merlin…. What are you doing here?" He asked reaching over frantically to the nightstand for his glasses. He put them on and backed up into the headboard. "Lily?"

I looked at him. "No I'm Taffy, of course you dung head."

He rolled his eyes and gulped. "Don't kill me for this, please."

I stared. "You mean kill you again after all this…Amos…. I'm a whore," I said feeling tears come to my eyes.

James opened his mouth to either object or agree with me until he looked at me and gulped again. "Lily…look at your finger. Is that yours?" I gasped and looked at the ring on my finger. It was a beautiful white gold ring. He shakily held his hand up. He had a matching one.

"Tell me this is a joke Potter, that you and the marauders planned this. Come out Black!" I said loudly.

He looked at me. "Lily, this isn't our doing." I no longer could hold back the tears.

"I'm engaged! This isn't real." I said pounding into James's bare chest. He held me against my will may I add. "Lily, it may be a fake, we don't know if it was real. We can go find out." I kept sobbing into his chest. I was not going to admit he smelled really good. All right, it was comforting. He held me a bit closer. "Would you kill me if I said this is kind of cool." I gave him a small smile and hit him.

"Ow…" I wiped my eyes. I looked over and found a piece of paper. I read it and gulped and handed it to him.

This certifies that James Edward Potter and Lily Marie Evans were united in marriage on this day. Witnesses were Sirius Black and Marlene Mckinnon.

I was going to murder my friend.

He paused. "We are in trouble." I held my head in my hands. "I'm engaged to Amos…well was."

James gulped. "I'm so sorry Lily."

I sighed. "It takes two..."

A/N Well? Cliché, I know but I couldn't help it :D. I know I've been neglecting my other story but I have been debating on rewriting it, since I feel it is poorly written. A beta would be lovely btw. Things have been, crazy but writing is my escape and I have a better idea on how this story is going to work so work with me. Tell me what you think! I've been working on my grammar, which fails. Epically. But as always, Thank you for reading my story~
