Lily and James planned to tell Sirius, Susan, Remus, Charlotte and Peter (their other close friend) at a party they wanted to hold at their house at Godric Hollow. They were very excited. There was an another good news as well, James was promoted!
He had been promoted from being the DADA Professor to DADA Professor and Deputy Gryffindor-Head. Lily was escatic.
That meant that their children could live in more luxury. More toys, clothes, more everything that money could buy. She already knew what her friends would say. Well, what the other going-to be dads would say. Susan and Charlotte were each 7 months pregnant. Susan's child and Sirius's child was named Peter Charlie Black and Charlotte's and Remus's child was named Dora Amber Lupin.
Sirius: My sonny, Remus's girlie and James's sonny and girlie will be the next era of marauders, won't they be, Moony?
Remus: Can't we concentrate on them being born first, Paddy? Congrats, Lily, James. Dora and Peter would definitely be escatic to have friends Susan: Yippes! Oh Lils, did you ever imagine, when we were in Hogwarts, that the infamous Marauders would be our husbands and we would have children with them? Really, I don't know what I am going to do when 2 Siriuses, 2 Remuses and 3 Jameses run around? Hell?
Charlotte: Su the drama queen!!! Well, all I can say is that our worlds are going to come crashing down, trust me, pals.
"Lily, quit day dreaming! Please, I need help!" James exclaimed as he used the 'wingardium leviosa' spell for the glasses of beer, lemonade and orange to the dining table. Lily rolled her eyes and said, "Really, James! As if you need help with magic! Mr Delicate would die if he did something without the help of others." James grinned and walked up to Lily and kissed her. "I never did need help with that." He whispered, his hands still on Lily's waist. Lily pushed him away and gave him one of her looks. 'Haha like real. I was told that you looked up in the Hogwarts library for a kissing book on the eve of our first date. James blushed a dark shade of red and asked, 'Who told you that, Mrs. Potter?" Lily laughed before saying, "Well, Remus and Sirius told Su and Charls and my best pals told me."
James raised his eyebrow and then leaned in to kiss Lily again. It was a warm, soft one and it made Lily melt in his arms. Lily's hands found their way up James's chest and then into his black jet of hair. James tightened his grip on Lily's waist. A moment later, Lily gently pulled back and lay her head on James's chest before saying, "One of the best kisses I have had in a long time." James nodded. Then he kneeled down and patted Lily's abdomen, "Hi children! Beth honey, I hope you are as intoxicating as your mom. And Harry darling, with a father like me, you would be the most attractive boy in school.
But Beth, you cannot date until you are 16. Or maybe 17. You will always owl me if any guy is bothering you or Dora. Sirius and I will ask your brother and your soon-one-of-your-best-friend Peter to bash that person up. Am I clear, Bethie?"
Lily swatted James's arm playfully. "You will not teach Harry or Peter any violence, Potter. Am I clear? Otherwise, Susan and I would cause you..... some permanent damage." James did a fake salute and then gushed, "Come on, its time for the party!
We have not prepared yet!" Lily smiled and murmured, "Magic is wonderful." With one flick of her wand, everything was ready. There were red, gold and white streamers on the walls. Delicious food like chicken burgers, cheese fries, butterbear,
fire whiskey, chocolate frogs, rice prepared with vegetables and chicken was present; a mix of muggle and wizard food.
Just then, Sirius and Susan apparated in front of James and Lily. "Ding-Dong! Favourite guests arrived!" Sirius exclaimed and gave Lily a squeezy hug. "Give us some space, Black!" Lily cried as soon as Sirius released her. Susan raised her eyebrow at the word us but did not say anything. Soon, Remus and Charlotte apparated, After a lot of hugging and giggling, James smiled at Lily, who nodded her head.
Lily went to the front of the room and clapped her hands, "Thanks for coming, everyone! One of the reasons why we held this party is that James has been promoted!" Lily cried. The room erupted in cheers. James made his way to the front of the room and wrapped an arm around Lily. "There is an another reason, of course. Before I say that, let me do something. Accio 3 cups of firewhiskey." Three cups filled with reddish liquid came zooming from the kitchen and the 3 Marauders had each. "Not having any, Lily Wily?" Sirius cooed. Lily rolled her yes, along with Charlotte and Susan. James grinned. This was his moment.
He brought his cup into the air and cried, "This toast is made to Harry James and Elizabeth Lily!" Sirius raised his eyebrow and asked, "Who are Harry James and Elizabeth Lily? They have your first names as middle names." Lily said, "Well, just say that their surnames are POTTER. Children of Lily and James Potter." ried, "
The room was speechless. Then Charlotte squeled, "Do you need me to babysit?" Susan cried out congratulations. Remus and Sirius actually yelled themselves hoarse before giving James a bear hug. Susan and Charlotte went forward and hugged Lily.
"The world is going to have 3 James Potters!" Susan cried.
Lily clapped her hands again and cried, "Shut up!!!!!" All the children of the class glanced at Lily. "Ummm, Padfoot and Su, can you be the godparents of my Harry? Moony and Charls? Can you be the godparents of my Beth?" Lily asked. The room was embraced by silence for a few moments before all four of them murmured together, " We would be honoured." Lily could see that they were too happy to realise this was not a vivid dream. "Let party then, to celebrate Beth and Harry?" Sirius asked loudly. The whole erupted in cheers. That was definitely one of the most happiest nights of Lily's life.
