" How when, What why, Where?" James asked cleaning his glasses.
" How, he proposed well actualy I did and then he did, when he proposed just now, what engaged, where out side by the lake, as for the why, that's not mine to tell." Rory said unafraid of her cousins explained the situation and James calmed down and looked at Rory.
" So you proposed to him….. Is this really what you want, even not really knowing him. Hes a great bloke by the way. But you sure?" James asked them both, when they nodded he gave them a lopsided grin. " When is the wedding?"
" Christmas break." Rory said which threw Brook into a frenzy grabbing a note book and pen and hauling all the girls upstairs.
" You hurt her mate and there will be no safe place to hide, and my pranking your every little moment will be the least of your worries." James said clapping Sirius on the back. " Moony would eat you and her brothers would kill you. Mom will be ecstatic though."
" I'm going to make it my lives work to make sure she doesn't regret this. Your cousin is going to be my wife, she is truly the most wonderful kind girl on earth." Sirius said gazing where she had disappeared up the stairs.
The next day found the newly engaged couple waiting for the dynamic duo of Lily and James and the rest of their friends so they could get to hogs Meade. Rory was sipping her coffee with Sirius arm around her.
" Hmm middle name?" Rory asked in their game of tenty questions.
" Orion. Yours?" He asked.
" My full name is Lorelei Georgiana Melinda Warren-Mercer"
" Wow mouth full." Sirius said glancing at his fiancée. She was in a pair of dark blue jeans and a pretty hater top shirt that skimmed her curves and showed just the right amount of cleavage under an old well worn but still great looking leather jacket with a bright scarf around her neck. Her hair in a simple pony tail and the only make up she wore was a peachy lip-gloss eyeliner and mascara. She wasn't flashy, the only jewelry she wore was a simple locket but that would change when she had his ring on her left hand by the end of the day. Their friends joined them with Peyton and Remus holding hands Brook was glancing through shopping guides and Peter was munching as usual. They headed out in a group but split up once they got there. Sirius got Rory to go with Brook to look at flowers, that girl was a wedding planning fiend but neither bride nor groom minded. He strode in and started looking over traditional wedding and engagement rings. He was getting exasperated by the time the owner came up front.
" Is there something particular your looking for?" The little woman asked.
" Err yes an engagement ring. I just cant find any that look like Rory." He paused. " She isn't a flashy diamonds kind of girl. She is simplistic but so beautiful." He said blushing. The little woman smiled and pulled out a small box.
" This ring is made from black hills gold with no diamond." She said and opened the box. It was a dainty looking thing it had a thin band of white gold that lead to a wider section that had two leaves one of yellow gold and one of a copper color surrounding a medium sized solitary onyx stone. " Does this look something the lady would like sir? It is a lovely piece all appropriate charms and it comes with a more masculine band of the same design only its carved into a solid band with the stone in the center."
" It's perfect." He said beaming and paid the surprisingly reasonable price. He caught up to the girls at the ice cream parlor, they where laughing at something Rory was doing. Waving an ice cream cone in Peyton's face causing her, Brook and Lily to bust out laughing hysterically. He walked up and took Rory's hand and she beamed up at him. Then he pulled the rig out of his pocket and slipped it on the ring finger of her left hand and held his breath as she looked down. She held her hand out and looked at it and teared up. He began to panic, what if now that it was more official she was having second thoughts. Then she launched her self at him hugging him tight.
" Ohh Sirius its perfect, absolutely perfect I love it." She pulled way then stood on her tip toes and kissed him square on the mouth.
" Glad you like it love." He murmured his husky tone sending shivers up Rory's spine. " Now could someone tell me what was so funny about the ice cream cone?" The girls started laughing again.
" Have you ever seen the witness?" Rory asked, he shook his head looking confused. " it's a movie it was from that." Sirius nodded still confused but loving the feel of her hand in his. " uhh ohh theyre early."
" How is love?" Sirius asked looking slightly worried at the fact that Rory was moving him behind her.
" My brothers." She said nodding to a group of four tough looking men. The one in front was on the short side for a guy but had the build of a boxer, next was a very tall very muscled African american, followed by another aferican american the a scrawny kid not much older looking than Rory. Sirius gulped. Rory let go of his hand and hugged the two in front then the two in back. " Your early."
" We missed you Ace, wanted to make sure this guy was worthy before you bring him home to mom." The short one said eyeing the ring on her hand. " Just aint right how fast your growing squirt. So who is the lucky man?" He asked looking around nodding to James and Remus. Rory led them over to Sirius, with a whispered play nice. Bobby and Sirius locked ayes and Rory could swear she could feel the testosterone level rise. " You marrying my sister?"
" Yep."
" You gonna treat her right?"
" Absolutely."
" Do you play quid ditch?"
" Yes."
" Hockey?"
" Always wanted to."
" You know if you hurt her there wont be anything left of you to identify?"
" I heard."
" You hurt her ill rip out your spine and beat you with it. So when is the wedding?"
" Two weeks."
" She explained the situation, welcome to the family. I'm Bobby this is Angel Jeremiah and little guy is Jackie." Bobby grinned making most females in the vicinity swoon. " We will see you then we got business back home. Squirt." He hugged Rory and she kissed his cheek.
" Be safe be careful, don't get arrested I don't feel like bailing you out." She said shooing them off after hugging them each.
" Interesting group." Sirius said actually liking bobby.
" Yeah they must like you." She said grinning and Sirius didn't want to know what not liking him would've been. Scary thought that.
