Today notorious school pranksters and auror trainees were spotted together. Sirius Black who recently inherited the Black family fortune and Manor after an accident in which his uncle Alphard Black was killed, and Remus Lupin, which little is know about and is a mystery waiting to be discovered. The now assumed couple was walking down Diagon alley holding hands and searching for what appeared to be furniture. This leads only the assumption that Black and Lupin are now living together. Black looks to be…
"Remus come here," Sirius shouted jovially looking around for the man.
"What?" Remus asked coming into the living room from the study in which he had been studying for their Advanced Defensive Spells quiz.
"Look at this," Sirius said standing up and handing Remus the paper pointing to their story.
Remus read it over quietly lips quirking until they finally rested into an amused smirk. "You would have thought that us snogging in hallways since fifth year would have tipped off the public huh?"
"Or our locking out James and Peter on several nights in our seventh year, or the fact that when I asked you out in fifth year I did it by jumping up on the table during the Halloween feast and singing 'Lady Marmalade', or…" Sirius began ranting with a concentrating look on his face that warned Remus that he was going to be reciting every public display of affection that they had ever had, so Remus just started to make out with him.
After about an hour and a few pieces of clothing later, "Are you excited to be James' best man?" Remus asked playing with Sirius' long hair.
"Yep, are you excited to be Lily's maid of honor?" Sirius teased looking down on Remus' evil eye which would be quite scary if he didn't know that Remus' way of getting back at him would involve them being in this exact same position.
"Meany," Remus pouted.
"Yeah, but you're completely in love with me," Sirius said proudly.
"And that's completely beside the point," Remus said letting a smile sneak onto his face.
"Seriously though…" Sirius began rolling to look directly into Remus' eyes.
"You, serious? Never," Remus laughed looking into Sirius' eyes and seeing that he was truly serious, promptly shut up.
"Well, I know that I may seem like… Oh, I don't know, but I will ask you, it's just I don't want to ask you just because… or because I feel like I should, or…is any of this making sense?" Sirius asked running a hand down his face.
"It wouldn't if I didn't speak Sirius, but as it is, I'm fluent," Remus smiled wrapping his arms around his beautiful black haired man.
"Thank god," Sirius muttered tightening his grip on Remus and gently rubbing his back.
"And by the way, you know what I'll do when the time comes," Remus said looking up at him.
"Hopefully," Sirius sighed, kissing Remus' hair and staring at the ceiling.
"So are you ready?" Remus asked pulling Sirius' bowtie tighter.
"Yep, hilarious best-man speech already prepared, and bowtie straightened I think I'm good," Sirius smirked at the shorter groomsman.
"That's not what I meant and you know it," Remus said, removing lint from Sirius' tux.
"I know, I know, but even if I wasn't ready, it's still going to happen isn't it? I know that he's ready and that they'll be good together, but it seems like he'd leaving," Sirius pouted sitting down on the fluffy couch.
"Guys are you almost ready?" James asked, popping his head in the door.
"Yeah we're ready," Remus said pulling his tie smooth.
"Okay that's good…really, really good," James rambled, beginning to pace.
"James what are you doing?" Sirius asked almost looking scared at how his best friend was acting.
"I don't know, I mean I'm a Marauder right? I can't get married, even if she is the most amazing girl ever… I mean… look at you two you've been dating longer than Lily and I and you still haven't gotten married. What am I doing?" James asked, pacing the entire room, finally coming to rest on the room's only couch.
"Umm, actually I meant why are you pacing, and Remus and I will get married we just wanted to get settled in our new apartment first, settle down, you know," Sirius said sitting down next to James and rubbing his back.
"But…I'm…and your…ahhh!" James screamed into the pillow.
"James, James, James…you love the girl don't you?" Remus asked sitting on his other side.
"Of course you guys know that," he said.
"Then get over yourself and marry the damn girl," Sirius laughed, pulling James up and punching him on the shoulder.
The door opened to reveal a platinum blonde who looked rather uncomfortable in a tux. "Guys were starting in two minutes, you might want to get in places," Lucius said, finding the mirror and trying to make his suit sit right.
"Okay," James said taking a deep breath. "Just about to get married, no biggie."
"Trust me, it will all be worth it when you see her. She's gorgeous" Lucius promised opening the door that led to the chapel.
"I think you're right," James muttered taking his place at the door leading to hall. As he took a few deep breaths, he saw Seer David, taking his place at the front.
"Today, we have two of the most wonderful people coming together. Now normally I would ask that we thank the heavens, which I do, but for this one day I must ask that we bring our focus somewhere closer to home. James…Lily would you both come out and bless these people with your union?"
And with that and a deep breath James walked out, looking across the alter to the door where Lily appeared.
A/N: Sorry about that I know I hate it when author think that we carea about a cliffhanger, but really it was just an end to the chapter, it's not even dramatic is it?
Anyways I just wanted to say that I wasn't sure who I wanted to marry Lily and James, I went between Dumbledore (totally cleched), Lily's childhood priest (how would a priest react to a magical cerimony?), and others. But I figured that a true seer was really rare and would be a good choice to afficiate a marriage cerimony considering he can see it the future!
Oh and I don't know if you guys noticed but what has much less errors?... Thats right I got a beta, WanderingPirate, and she worked wonders didn't she?
