A/N Hello, everyone! This update is only a tiny bit late, like a little less than two hours…

Thanks to all Reviewers!

Dedication: to allidiane23 for her lovely review. :)

Disclaimer: I only own Marlene's relatives together with do i need a pen name.

"We need to get married, soon, like immediately." Marlene announced to her fiancé over breakfast. The two of them having their own notion of time were eating said breakfast at one in the afternoon, so the rest of the family had long been up and about.

"Er, not that I object or anything, but why?" Sirius ventured in response.

"I refuse to be fat in my wedding photos," Marlene informed him with dangerously flashing blue eyes.

"You won't be." Sirius assured her.

"It's okay, you can admit it, Sirius, and we both know that I'm going to get fat." Marlene assured him.

This seemed to frighten him. "No, no, you definitely won't." He insisted.

"It's a fact."

"No!" Sirius exclaimed covering his ears up. "Stop trying to trap me, you trapper! You just want me to slip up and say something bad!" He accused. "James warned me about this, you know." He informed her.

She rolled her eyes at him. "Fine, whatever, the point remains that I want to get married soon, very soon, how does September seventeenth sound? I picked it because both our birthdays fall on the seventeenth of the month."

"I love the seventeenth." Sirius agreed.

"Did you go see James and Lily and tell them about the wedding yet?" Marlene asked him suddenly through narrowed eyes.

"Uh." Sirius hesitated. "It's just that with Regulus and everything, it kind of, uh, slipped my mind?" He ventured.

"James is going to kill you for not telling him immediately, so stop looking so afraid of me, I don't even need to hurt you." Marlene said calmly. "I told Dorcas and I am assuming that she will have told Remus, but she may not have thinking that you would like to tell him, so why don't you go see him as well."

Sirius nodded eagerly in agreement eager not to anger his somewhat volatile fiancée.

"Good, and see if you can find Peter while you're at it." Marlene continued. "I'm really starting to worry about him, I haven't seen him in ages, I wrote him a letter the other day and he hasn't responded; of course he's not much of a letter writer, but still."

"I'll definitely stop in on Peter." Sirius assured her.

"Good, now get out of here." Marlene commanded imperiously. "Also, if you could be so good as to kidnap Dorcas and drag her back here with you I would be much obliged. Bring Remus along, too. I haven't seen him in ages."

"Er, okay."

"Splendid." Marlene beamed at him. "Now, shoo." She said all but shoving him out the door.

-Story Break-

Less than fifteen minutes later, Sirius found himself outside the home of James and Lily Potter. He didn't bother to knock and instead barged right into the house as though he lived there.

"I'm heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeree." He called out and was met by a scowling James who was holding a screaming Harry in his arms.

"You woke him up." James informed him. "Therefore, you can quiet him down."

Thus, Sirius found his godson to be unceremoniously dumped into his arms. "And how is my adorable godson today?" He inquired of the child.

"Crabby." James muttered sullenly.

"Gah!" Harry greeted, stopping his earlier screaming in order to greet his godfather.

"I think he's in a charming mood." Sirius said gloatingly, rubbing in the fact that Harry would stop crying for him and not his father.

James glared.

"Where is your lovely wife on this fine morning?" Sirius inquired.

He was answered when the door to the kitchen opened and Lily Evans Potter appeared. "Hello, Sirius." She greeted walking over and giving him a brief hug. "I hear you have news for us?" She inquired with a raised eyebrow.

"How do you know that?" Sirius asked.

"Heard it from Dorcas." Lily answered. "She didn't tell me what though, and it had better be the news that I think it is." She informed him warningly.

Sirius rolled his eyes at the woman his friend had chased after for seven years. "Marlene and I are getting married." He conceded to her superior knowledge. "On September seventeenth." He elaborated. "You both are coming." He added. "You can bring my adorable godson as well."

"That is the worse invitation I've ever heard." James commented.

"It wasn't an invitation." Sirius protested. "It was an order."

The married couple simultaneously rolled their eyes at him.

"We'll be sure to obey you, oh great leader." James said sarcastically.

"Excellent."

-Story Break-

"Pete!" Sirius exclaimed pounding on the door to his friend's flat. He had just left Lily and James' house and gone off in search of Peter. He would stop by Remus and Dorcas' afterwards, as he intended to drag them back to the Cassidy estate with him. "Open up, Peter." He called again.

No one answered the door.

"Wormtail!" Sirius exclaimed. "I know you're home, answer the door."

Evidently, he was not at home because he didn't come to the door. Sirius procured a piece of parchment from his pocket and hastily scribbled a note for Peter and shoved it under the door. With one last worried glance at the door (maybe Marlene was right to be worried…) he headed out of the building.

-Story Break-

"What the hell do you think you're doing?" Dorcas demanded when Sirius strolled into the apartment she shared with Remus and proceeded to grab Dorcas with his right hand and Remus with his left and drag them both from the apartment.

"We're going on a little trip." Sirius informed them cryptically.

"Couldn't you have at least let us get our shoes?" Remus complained.

"Nope, no time." Sirius insisted.

"I will hurt you for this." Dorcas promised him. "In a painful way."

"Hey, I'm just following orders."

"Whose?" Dorcas asked narrowing her eyes at him before comprehension seemed to down. "Marly's." She said grimly.

"Yes." Sirius agreed with a nod. They had exited the building by this time and Sirius abruptly activated the portkey that would return them to the Cassidy estate.

Needless to say, Dorcas and Remus were not at all pleased by his lack of forewarning. But they would get over it, you know eventually. Either that or they would maim Sirius. One of the two.
