I don't harry Potter
The months passed James and Alice were graduating in a weeks time and exams were upon them in a rush of studying and anxiety Lily finished her fourth year exams. She collapsed on her bed. And that's how Teddy found her a few hours later a pillow covering her head. He sat down next to her and took the pillow from her hands.
"Long day?" She sighed and sat up leaning into Teddy.
"Yeah and with the graduations coming up well you know that will Weasley Hectic and I'm worried that everyone still doesn't except us." Teddy wrapped his arms around his wife and held her. The days passed in a blur and soon they were watching James and Alice receive there diploma's.
Ginny had tears of Happiness and sarrow mixing together down her cheeks "What's wrong." Lily asked her mother as she watched her father hand the diploma's out to the graduating students.
"Its just that I've lost you to Teddy and now I've lost James to graduation."
"Oh Mom you haven't lost us." She hugged her mom. Teddy looked at two women that meant so much to him in the world. Ginny who had been like a mother to him and Lily the girl he loved with all his heart. Harry was now speaking.
"I now give you the head girl Alice Longbottom." Lily clapped as her friend her long brown hair in an upsweep took her place at the podium.
Lily smiled at James a knowing Look in her eyes as she let her mind drift.
"Come on Lils I need your help." James pulled Lily out of Bed trying to not wake Teddy up A few days before graduation.
"What is it?" She sat up groggily trying to focus her brothers face in front of her.
"I need your help."
"With what?"
"I'm going to ask Alice to marry me?" A smile split across his face
Lily squealed hugging her brother close "Oh my god." She jumped out of bed and started to throw clothes on. She had woken Teddy up when she had jumped out of bed and he sat up.
"What's going on Lils." He saw James. "Um Hello James."
"Nothing Teddy just go back to bed." Lily grabbed James hand and ran out of the room leaving a very confused husband behind her. They had went ring shopping that night and found the perfect ring. A diamond with two tiny ruby's on the side's .
Lily came out of her memory as Alice started to speak.
"Class of 2023 I say congratulations. I have grown up with all of you and know that this ride hasn't been easy for any of us. But we made it and as we go on our ways I can say that the memory's and friends we made here will be with us forever. I just have to look at my father and know that." She looked over at Neville who's eye's were shining with pride. James fingered the velvet box in his pocket nervous. "So class of 2023 I say good Luck." Just as the last words left her lips. James stood and made his way to the podium. Everyone's eyes followed him. Lily smiled. Teddy noticed that smile and the pieces fell to place in his head.
James made it to were Alice was standing. Everyone was frozen. James turned to the people and spoke. "I know this is unconventional but I have something I have to say." He turned back to Alice and took her shaking hand in his. "Alice Susan Longbottom. I've loved you since I was a child. Before I even knew what love was I loved you. I will love you for the rest of my life and for all the days to come. You've helped me prove that there is no Potter curse. And you have shown me that Love is real and helped solidify my belief in it. Alice your beautiful inside and out and I can't see myself spending my life with anyone else." With those words he got down on one knee. Gasp emenating form everyone. "So I ask you at this moment as we make a step into a new part of our lives Alice will you marry me." Alice had tears running down her face.
Yes James Yes I'll marry you." She nodded her head. James jumped up and grabbed Alice kissing her and swinging her around. He put her back to her feet and slipped the ring on to her finger. He kissed her again and Lily jumped to her feet.
"Way to go James." She yelled. Alice broke away from James and started to laugh. Ginny just smiled through the tears that poured down her face. Harry shook him self out of the shock that he had went into. He walked to the podium.
"Well that concludes our graduation service. Not conventionally but oh well." he laughed as everyone cheered. He turned to Neville. "Professor Longbottom is there anything you would like to add." His eyes danced with laughter at that moment people that were there would say it was like seeing Dumbledore all over again. Neville stood up and walked to the podium.
"Um well I guess I have to say that oh my god what has my daughter done I have to be related to him." He bantered lightly causing everyone to laugh. He turned around and him and Harry hugged like the longtime friends they were. Albus and Lana had made it to the stage as the rest of the graduates made there way to meet there parents. Ginny and Lily were not far behind them.
"Oh my baby." Ginny hugged her son. "I'm so happy for you." She let him go and turned to Alice.
"Alice your father has been my friend since I was young and now I get you as a daughter in law something I always knew would happen. Welcome to the family." Ginny hugged Alice. The minuet she let her go. Albus came up and shook his brothers hand his arm around Lana.
"Congrats bro." He slapped James on the shoulder. James looked at Lana.
"You'll be next Brother of mine." He teased. Albus's cheeks burned red and Lana giggled. Lily walked behind them.
"I for one think that Lana is just as perfect for Albus as Alice is for you." She had a grin on her face. As she jumped into James arms. " I'm so happy for you James. You couldn't have picked better" James looked at his sister.
"Yes but you beat me down the aisle. His glance slide over to were Teddy stood.
"Not exactly I didn't actually walk down an aisle. Your forgetting that destiny married us not the minister of magic." She had just a hint of sadness at the loss of the dress and the flowers. That she would never experience. The thought that she would never experience a drop onto your knee ask for her hand in marriage proposal. James looked at his sister and decided he would have a little talk with his brother in law. Teddy walked over to the little group and wrapped his arms around Lily.
"So Lils are you ready for the summer to begin." She just nodded her head and snuggled into his embrace. The three young couples content to be in each others arms and share this joyous moment with each other.
