Soon after school Lily, James, Sirius, Remus and Peter all became Aurors at the Ministry, as did Frank Longbottom, and a year later Alice. Six months into their jobs as Aurors the six(the Marauders, plus Lily and Frank) were approached by their former headmaster Albus Dumbledore after work, he asked to speak to them in private. They were told to come to an old abandoned shack in Northern England.

Dumbledore spoke in his usual grave yet calm voice, "As some of the Ministry's finest Aurors I have no doubt that you have all noticed that Lord Voldemort's power is escalating and the Ministry does little about it." The five nodded grimly, the Ministry wouldn't let the Prophet print a word to 'keep up morale,' but everyone knew the reasons for the deaths.

Dumbledore continued, "So I have decided to pick a few people I trust, that I know want Voldemort to fall, to create an alliance against Voldemort."

"And you're asking us to join?" Remus asked for the simple fact that he could put the question into words fastest.

"Yes, you are not obligated to join, but I will not give you major details unless you are." Dumbledore replied evenly.

The six looked to each other with grim looks in their eyes, and nodded one at a time. Lily was last and spoke proudly, "We want to help, it's what we thought we'd be doing as Aurors, but the Ministry…"

"Don't worry, I believe that the group I have compiled will be a formidable force against the Dark Lord…" He went on to list others in his group called 'The Order of the Pheonix' such as Molly and Arther Weasley, the head of the Auror department Mad-Eye Moody, Edgar and Amelia Bones, Dumbledore's brother Aberforth and quite a few others.

The Order did a lot more against Voldemort than the Ministry dared to, so eventually Order members quit being Aurors and worked full time for the Order. And after a larger battle against Voldemort in which the Dark Lord himself turned up in person was won by the order there was a small celebration where James proposed to Lily. She accepted of coarse, and planning the wedding took up all the time the two weren't working or sleeping.

When it came time to pick a best man and maid of honor the two choices were made quickly. Sirius Black was to be the best man, but the maid of honor was shocking, Lily had told James when he asked, "Maia Cronus."

"What?" He exclaimed, "But she's… dead. How can you have a dead person be your maid of honor.

Lily pulled out a framed head shot of Maia, her long black hair curled around her face and her blue eyes sparkled as she smiled out at Lily, "This is how."

James ran his hand through his hair and slowly said, "You seriously want your maid of honor to be a picture."

"Yes," She said stubbornly, "Do you have a problem with that?"

James shook his head, he'd given up, when Lily was stuck on something, she was stuck, "It's your wedding."

At the wedding in the picture that was supposed to be with the bride, groom best man and maid of honor had the first three. Then Remus used Wingardium Leviosa to have Maia's picture float next to Lily, who still wore Maia's necklace around her neck. They were better off not knowing in less than two and a half years they would be dead.

…….

20 years Later….

It was the night before their wedding, Harry was a nervous wreck. There would be very few people sitting on the grooms side during the wedding, Hagrid, McGonagal, Luna, Neville, Teddy and his grandparents, and a couple others from the D.A.. Ron was to be his best man, Hermione the maid of honor. Ginny sat across the room reading a book about Quidditch while he looked through pictures of other people's weddings, and when he got to his parents' wedding he made a face.

"Curious," He said as he cocked his head to the side.

Ginny looked up at her soon to be husband, "What's curious?"

"In all of the wedding pictures if the best man is in a picture so is the maid of honor." He said in a far off voice he used when he was completely focused on something and was talking.

"Yeah, that's how it usually goes, what's so curious about it?"

He pulled the picture bothering him out of the album and carried it over to Ginny, "Notice anything strange?"

It was just Lily, James and Sirius, "No maid of Honor, I never heard of them having one either."

He sighed, "That's part of it, but look at that." He pointed to the area next to his mother, there was a picture frame floating.

"Perhaps a Marauder prank?" Ginny suggested.

Harry shook his head, "It's in every picture, notice the picture's of a woman, I think the picture is the maid of honor."

Ginny gave him a look like he was crazy, "Who in their right mind would have a picture as the maid of honor?!" She exclaimed.

Harry took the picture back, "Apparently my mum."

That's it, it's over (cries). Well I sincerely hope you enjoyed it, the epilogue was based off the fact we never heard who Lily's maid of honor was. And I already have two ideas for one-shots in my head, so if you like my writing look for them in about a week or so. Reiews would really be appreciated, just remember, if you have nothing nice to write in a review, don't write a review at all. Thank you for taking the time to read this. END
