I JUST GOT THIS IDEA INTO MY HEAD SO I HAD TO WRITE IT DOWN

"GOOD MORNING, happy wedding day!"

James felt the bed sink at least a foot as a large body came flying through the air and landed beside him. The springs creaked and he thought he heard a distinct cracking sound at the head of the bed. He had very little time to contemplate this however as the blankets were yanked back unceremoniously and he found his face being ground into the pillow as Sirius mussed his hair enthusiastically.

"Rise and shine Jamesy pie cause your getting married!"

"Geroff me!"

James pushed up with his hands and Sirius fell off the bed,landing on the floor with a loud thump and a moment later James sunk his face back into his pillow with a groan. His brain seemed to be trying to disconnect itself from his head.

Somewhere nearby a door opened and Moony and Wormtail's voices added to the migraine that he was experiencing.

"Come on mate, up you get!"

Apparently none of the others had had quite as much to drink the night before. He groaned again.

"I think that he's coming to understand the consequences of drinking an entire barrel of firewhiskey in one go." Remus' voice said from near his feet, clearly amused. He kicked out one leg, missed, and let it fall back onto the mattress.

"Levicorpus"

James heard it a moment before he found himself hanging upside down in thin air by his ankle, feeling over exposed in front of his friends with only a pair of boxers on.

"Sorry Prongs" Sirius said cheerfully, reaching up and smacking his friend on the side of the head. "Couldn't let you sleep in or nothing, don't forget that your about to marry Lily Evans, the love of your life, wouldn't have thought that a little thing like a hangover would stop you, and as best man it is my duty to get you up and ready or else fill in for you." He turned away and James fell back onto the bed with a crash.

"What do you think our kids will look like?" Sirius was asking Moony and Wormtail, who was doubled up laughing.

James leaped up and threw himself onto Sirius' back and they fell to the floor in a heap, laughing so hard they could hardly catch their breath. Finally they allowed their friends to pull them to their feet and James managed to drag a t-shirt over his head. As the collar came down over his eyes he looked around at his friends who were all grinning wildly at him and it dawned on him for the first time just how amazing this day would be.

He grinned back at them all, unable to voice the excitement and glorious happiness he was feeling.

"Merlin's beard, James Potter, you'll knock the whole house down, what on earth are you and your friends doing up there?"

"Nothing Mom, sorry about that!" he called back, cuffing Sirius on the back of the head as he followed him from the room. As he closed his bedroom door behind him the delicious smells of his mother's cooking wafted up the stairs to meet them. He fished a pair of clean slacks from the laundry room in passing and the four of them descended into the kitchen which was bustling with activity. Knives chopped fruits and vegetables that were being cleaned in the kitchen sink by a scrub brush. Soups and salads were being stirred by large wooden spoons and tureens of punch and whiskey sat waiting on the headboard. Napkins were folding themselves around knives, forks and spoons at one end of the table but James saw none of this as his eyes were on the glorious wedding cake at the other end upon which a tiny sugar replica of himself was kissing a tiny sugar Lily quite passionately in a way that the real James would never do in front of his mother who luckily seemed too busy to notice as she was leaning over the open oven. Just past her James could see what he was sure must be the largest turkey in the entire world.

His mother straightened up with a flourish and turned on them, looking rather frazzled, with her hair falling out of it's bun and flour and chocolate covering her blouse and face.

"Out, out!" she ordered, shooing them towards the door. "Everyone will be arriving in a few hours and what i don't need is you lot getting underfoot in here so make yourselves scarce until it's time to get ready." And then she turned away and hurried from the kitchen muttering under her breath. James grabbed a roll as he made to leave and he thought he saw the tiny sugar Lily on the cake wink at him as he followed Wormtail out the door and into the garden.
