Chapter Twenty-Five

About 6 months had gone by, Emily had found a muggle job, working as a secretary at some business. Lily and James had bought their own house. Sirius had his own place, but spent most of his time at James's house and also spent the night using the spare room they had. Remus had moved into Emily's house. Emily had added another bedroom and a basement with a very strong door with lots of locks on it. Lily was planning her wedding and was looking at dresses right now with Emily.

"What about this one?" Lily asked, coming out in a poofy strapless dress.

"It's a bit poofy," Emily said, "might be hard to dance in."

"Oh god," Lily said, quickly going back in to change.

"You'll find one soon," Emily said.

"I do hope so," Lily said, taking off the dress and trying on another one.

Lily tried on dresses for about two hours. Emily said she would have to leave for work soon. Lily decided she wanted to try on one more.

"Well," Lily said, coming out in a spaghetti strap dress that was tight on top but had movement at the bottom.

"It's nice," Emily said with a smile.

Lily quickly looked at herself in the mirror and got a big smile on her face.

"This is it," Lily said, "I want this one."

Lily turned to the lady, who quickly went to work in getting the price. Emily said goodbye to Lily and headed off to work. James, Sirius, and Remus were all being fitted for their suits.

"This is a bit tight," James told the lady, who quickly went to get another one.

"This fits perfect," Sirius said, checking himself out in the mirror.

"It's good," Remus told the fitter.

"I'm so excited," James said as he got on another suit.

"You should be," Sirius said, "weddings next week."

"I know," James said, "we are going to set up our backyard."

"That will be fun," Sirius said, "do I need to give a speech at your dinner?"

"Yes, it is custom for the best man to give one," James said.

"I will do my best," Sirius said.

The boys finished up with their suits and headed to James's house. Lily was there, waiting for them with food.

"Chicken," Sirius yelled, quickly sitting down.

The four of them ate the food, while talking about the wedding. Lily told them she had gotten a four teared cake that was half vanilla, half chocolate. They didn't invite that many people, since they only had a small backyard and it was difficult times. Lily had everything already planned out. She had decide to have a buffet for dinner at the wedding so people had a few things to pick one.

"It will be great," Lily said, "I stil need to get brides maid dresses."

About two hours later Emily joined them. They were having a movie night. It was Lily turn to pick the movie and she chose to watch Cats and Dogs. Emily was cuddled up next to Remus, while Lily and James were making out on the couch. Sirius had turned into a dog and would bark everytime a cat appeared on the screen. The night went by with no problems at all. After the movie Remus and Emily had gone home.

The next day, Emily met up with Lily at the dress store. Lily was picking out brides maid dresses.

"So," Emily said, "who do you have for brides maids?"

"I got Ryane, and Jayla," Lily said with a sigh, "they will be here shortly."

Lily had Emily try on a few dresses. Lily had wanted them to wear light blue dresses and so far none really looked that good.

"Maybe I'll change the color," Lily said, "but than I'm going to need to change some decorations and I don't know."

"No," Emily said, running over and grabbin a dress that was blue, not that light though, "this color would work and it will go with everything."

Lily looked at the dress and nodded her head. Emily put on the dress and showed Lily, who smiled. It was a dress that had sleeves that hung off the shoulders and went down half way passed the knees.

"That's perfect," Lily said, "and it's a good color too."

About ten minutes later her brides maids showed up. They got fitted for their dresses and were off within about an hour. Emily and Lily headed over to check on the cake and make sure they had the right date. Everything seemed to be in order. Lily was really happy and everything seemed to be going by just fine.
