I am on Jily overload a.t.m! I thought that I'd add my own character into this one because I didn't want Tonks to be the only flower girl in the bridal party. Judge me if you must but I actually had fun with this.

Disclaimer: Jily is not mine. I love and idolise it but it is 100% J.K's

"Lily! Lily!" an ecstatic eight-year-old Bethany came bolting down the corridor at full speed before leaping into the woman's arms.

"Bethany! The dress!" her mother came sprinting after the little girl frantically, only to find that she was too late.

Lily laughed at her friend's exasperated expression.

"It's okay Bec, I don't mind," the eighteen-year-old bride to be replied, before eventually putting the girl down and straightening out her wedding dress.

"Yeah Mum," Bethany chimed, "Lily looks so pretty that not even a severing charm on her dress could change that!"

"I see that James has been teaching you under-aged magic again," Lily said with the slightest quirk of a disapproving smile.

"He even let me use his wand!" the young witch giggled, "I may or may not have sliced open the couch and scared the cat but he fixed it so fast that you couldn't even notice!

"NYMPHADORA!" A voice came booming from upstairs, "I swear to Merlin if you transfigure your appearance into a duck one more time before I finish your make-up I will ground you."

"DON'T CALL ME NYMPHADORA!" the high-pitched whine of the other flower girl was soon followed by a loud bang that shook the entire house.

Rebecca let out a sigh, "I better go upstairs and sort that out," she murmured, before flashing her daughter a stern glare, "And don't you dare ruin your hair again young lady, do you hear me?"

"Fine," the girl pouted unhappily as her mother hurried up the stairs. Bethany slumped back at the foot of the stairs, her hands crossed over her little chest.

"I happen to think that your hair looks beautiful," Lily commented as she knelt beside the flower girl. She did look quite pretty, with everything except for her fringe being curled with magic hanging down in loose ringlets and a waterfall braid running along either side of her head joining at the back.

"That's because you didn't see what it looked like before," the girl belated as she tucked a stray curl of dark brown hair behind her ear.

The bride raised an eyebrow, "What? Did they try to cut it?" she asked.

"Worse," Bethany said with a cringe, "Mum wanted me to wear bows."

That made Lily laugh.
