I must apologize for keeping you waiting for so long.

Ok, so I lied I'm just giving you the wedding.

}Chapter Nine{

Remus stood beside Sirius before an arch that resembled the one James and Lily had married under. He had never been a best man before; in fact he'd only been to one wedding in his adult life- James and Lily's. True he had been invited to several but people did seem to enjoy holding weddings on the full moon. He had been in the Underground for little over a week now and would have to return to the Aboveground before too long to avoid arousing Dumbledore's suspicion.

"Uncle Moony?"

Remus flinched at the sound of little Aeowyn's voice at his hip. She had taken to calling him Uncle Moony, following the example of her twin brother. Remus had been shocked that the boy who hadn't seen him since he was fifteen months old remembered who he was.

"Yes, Wynnie?" he asked the little bridesmaid; she wore a white dress and hand a band of yellow flowers on her messy black hair

"Mama asked me to ask if it's time yet." She reported

Jareth's voice from behind made him start. "Ah Wyn sweetling, is your aunt ready now?"

"Yes Papa," the child nodded. "Mama sent me."

"Then tell mama that its time to start then."

"Yes Papa," Aeowyn vanished

Remus turned to Jareth,

"Shouldn't you be with Lyra?" he asked the man who was soon to be Sirius' brother in law in a whisper.

Lyra and Jareth's father's lack of interest in his daughter's wedding didn't sit well with Remus, but nobody seemed to mind.

"I must conduct the ceremony," was the equally quiet response. "Though I wish I could walk her down the aisle, she is in the capable hands of this kingdom's most valiant knight."

At that moment a fan fair broke out and Sirius, who had been strangely quiet all day turned; along with everyone else in the throne room, toward the entrance to the garden that was serving as the wedding venue.

Airen and Aeowyn, pageboy and bridesmaid respectively, were the first to enter; followed by Queen Sarah and her brother, young Toby; and finally the bride entered.

Lyra was walking by the side of a diminutive fox with an eye patch who was riding an Old English Sheep dog. She looked stunning, in a simple white gown that pooled around her feet as she moved with no sleeves or veil. Her hair fanned out behind her untamed apart from the fire flowers woven through the highlighted black tresses- her hands were covered in long white fingerless gloves that rose to her elbows.

As Lyra reached Sirius, Remus noticed the same soft smile on the former human's face as James had worn when he'd seen Lily in her wedding dress. Remus moved to sit with the other members of the wedding party as bride and groom joined hands before Jareth. The Goblin King placed a hand on his sister and her bridegroom's heads and began to sing.

Remus' curiosity must have been written upon his face because Sarah whispered in his ear. "It's a traditional prayer of blessing."

Following this blessing Airen and Aeowyn rose and approached their father, aunt and uncle each carrying a wreath of red, yellow and white roses. Jareth took the wreaths in turn and sang another song over each. He placed the first on Lyra's head and the second on Sirius'.

Lyra and Sirius released each other's hands and stood facing each other, eyes shut. Fire engulfed both of them; shrouding them completely from view.

"That's the sign of their magic bonding," Sarah told him. "The vows come next."

The fire extinguished itself just as suddenly as it had flared up.

"Sirius, take Lyra's hand," Jareth instructed; when he did so the Goblin King carried on. "Dost thou, Sirius born of the Aboveground house Black take this woman as thy wife and queen? To love honour and obey as long as thou both shalt live?

"I do," Sirius nodded

A golden band similar to that of an unbreakable vow coiled around the clasped hands. Jareth turned to Lyra.

"Dost thou, Lyra, Queen of the Fireys take this man to be thine husband and consort? To love honour and obey for as long as thou both shalt live?"

"I do" Lyra nodded and a second golden band coiled around the joined hands.

Jareth put his hands on top of his sister and new brother in law's hands and sang another blessing. When he had finished the golden bands had vanished

"Then with the power vested in me as Goblin King and High Prince of the Underground I hereby pronounce you man and wife; King and Queen- Sirius, you may kiss your bride."

Sirius didn't need to be told twice.

Not the best thing I've ever written, sorry.

Only one more chapter before Airen starts Hogwarts now- and its gonna be a long one. Please keep your votes for the House you want Dudley to end up in coming folks
