Potterverse is not mine. Thank you everyone so much for reading, favoriting, alerting and reviewing. You're awesome. Now here's the update, enjoy!
The day Lily Evans and James Potter got married was the first sunny day in England in three weeks. The wedding was half traditional Muggle wedding and half traditional Wizard wedding. James' mother had sobbed uncontrollably into her hanky mumbling how much her sweet little Jamesie-poo had grown up; his father had grinned at his son while giving him a thumbs up. Lily's sister Petunia had been bound, gagged and stuffed into a cupboard after insulting a very proud wedding attendee (or at least Cummings liked to think she was a very proud witch, not taking any crap from nobody. This would've been convincing if she didn't, immediately after, skip over to Sirius and procure him that pastry with the green frosting from the caterer when he said he was feeling peckish) while her parents had smiled on with teary eyes.
After a most beautiful wedding ceremony (and Cummings standing in as Maid of Honor since Petunia was nowhere to be found) and the long awaited announcement that standing in front of all their friends and family were Lily and James Potter, there was the reception. A time most known for congratulating the newlyweds, horrid dancing and speeches. Of course these speeches weren't open to just anyone to make but that didn't stop Cummings. Nope. She picked up the enchanted microphone and gained everyone's attention with the first sentence out of her mouth.
"When I first met Cobra Commander he was wearing another man's knickers." Cummings said grinning widely, letting the dimple in her left cheek show. The entire tent of wizards and Muggles alike broke into laughter.
"I WAS NOT!" James countered loudly as his cheeks tinged with red.
"Well I sure hope you weren't wearing Lily's." She stated looking down the table at him before singing out, "Awkward." As the guests laughed at James' expense he motioned to his best mate Sirius – who was sitting next to her, due to her shoving her own chair in between the two men – to make her shut up and sit down. Cummings was a sweet girl and James adored her but, well, sometimes he was afraid of what could come out of her mouth. Sirius nodded and placed his hands on her hips to pull her down into her chair.
"You'll get your turn Captain, stop being so pushy." Cummings frowned as she pushed Sirius away with her hand in his face so he'd sit back down in his chair. "Anyway, unlike a lot of people in the world Cobra Commander accepted me for my awesome levels that are far exceeding many other people's….Baxter, where are you, yeah, I'm way more awesome than you. Suck on that. Oh! Remember that one time Cobra Commander totally body-binded you? Ha-ha, that was great. It was the same day you let the entire Order know you sniff Captain's knickers."
"I DO NOT SNIFF HIS KNICKERS!" Baxter raged which only earned laughs instead of sympathy for being the mark of Cummings' verbal abuse.
Smiling Cummings shook her head holding up a hand. "I'm getting off track." She cleared her throat and looked at the couple before back out at the wedding guests. "James and Lily are the brightest hope we've got in these dark times. They show us that it's possible to find love in this world filled with bad. Obviously two people couldn't be more right for each other. To James and Lily." She raised her glass of champagne.
"To James and Lily." Everyone else raised their glasses as well except for James and Sirius who were shocked still at the fact that Cummings actually made a good speech. Well, the last bit anyway.
Happily Cummings sat back down in her chair and handed over the microphone to Sirius who was still staring at her in wonder. "Beat that one Captain." She smirked.
Hours later the party was still going strong, everyone enjoying the lighthearted environment and of course the never ending supply of booze – thanks to the Marauders – though a fair amount of the Muggle guests had left. Sadly so did Lily's parents, who had taken a liking to Cummings, after a furious Petunia had escaped the cupboard. Cummings was sitting in the middle of one of the tables giggling as her eyes followed two figures around the room.
Curious, a slightly intoxicated Remus walked over to investigate. "What are you giggling about?
Cummings turned her sparkling apple green eyes onto the werewolf. "I've got Captain paranoid."
"'Bout what?" He asked tilting his head to the side before locating Sirius in the crowd.
Cummings giggled gleefully. "I told him Baxter was going to try and seduce him tonight. Then I told Baxter, quite convincingly, that Captain had something important to tell him. Baxter's been chasing him all over while Captain has been running away though he's not as quick as he was at first. He's been drinking."
Remus chuckled as he spotted a determined looking Baxter following a worried looking Sirius who was stumbling a bit, yet was able to keep his drink from spilling. Sirius was good like that. "Why would you do that?"
Cummings shrugged honestly not sure why she had done it. "Because it's fun. Besides, I doubt Captain will remember by tomorrow so I don't have anything to worry about."
"Good point." Remus conceded sitting on the table next to Cummings with his legs hanging off. "Two Galleons says Baxter catches up with him."
"Deal."
