Chapter Fifty
Dress Shopping

I woke up to the sound of scratching. I shifted and saw that Remus was sitting on the bed next to me, wearing nothing except blue boxers with little snitches on them. He had his sketchpad in his hand and a charcoal stick in the other, his teeth clamped over a blue and a darker blue pencil.

"What are you doing?" I asked, staring at him. He looked up and winked.

"Pretend to sleep. I'm almost done…" he trailed off, his attention on his work.

"How long have you been up?" I asked sleepily, closing my eyes.

"An hour. Maybe two." He answered around the pencils. I waited a few more minutes and listened to the sound of his breathing and the charcoal brushing against the pages before, "Done."

I sat up and brushed the hair out of my face, tusking the sheets around my naked form before taking the sketch.

It was a black and white picture of a woman. She was sleeping, the sheets tucked up around her, her leg protruding from under them so her bare calf, knee and lower thigh were exposed. One arm was thrown up above her head, a finger twirled around her long black hair and the other was clutching the sheets to her chest, four scars looped around her upper arm, gleaming on her coloured skin. Long black lashes rested on her cheekbones and her full lips were quirked in a faint smile. Around her neck was a blue crescent moon necklace.

My necklace.

Tears sprang to my eyes at how beautiful I looked. "Is this how you see me?" I asked. Remus nodded and kissed me softly.

"Do you know how beautiful you are when you're sleeping? Or better question; do you know how beautiful you are all the time?"

"I do now." I whispered. "You should do this for a living. Lupin's Portraits."

"Hmm. Has a nice ring to it doesn't it?" he asked with a grin.

"People are always looking at getting family portraits done; especially pureblood families and they'll pay handsomely for it." I handed the sketchpad to him. "You should really consider this, Remus."

"I will." He assured. "But right now, I'm going to go make my beautiful girlfriend breakfast in bed."

"I love you." I smiled, watching him leave and appreciating how good his ass looked in those boxers. I shook my head and chuckled, rolling over and snuggling down into the covers again.

I yawned as Marlene and I sat in the bridal store, flipping through the magazines in the store.

"Why are you so tired?" Marlene asked, taking a sip of her coffee.

"I just had a late night." I shrugged, not looking up from the magazine.

"Come on. Don't give me that. You look different…Oh, My God!"

"What?" came Lily's voice from the dressing room.

"Sophia had sex with Remus!" she squealed and I shushed her loudly.

"Jesus! Just go get a megaphone why don't you?" I hissed angrily.

"You didn't deny it!" Lily pointed out and Marlene laughed. I rolled my eyes.

"So what if I did?" I asked, casting a silencing charm around us so our conversation won't be overheard.

"How was it?" Marlene asked. I looked up at her and raised my eyebrows.

"You're really asking me this?" I asked.

"Hey! We told you about our first times with our boyfriends!" Lily protested. I shuddered at the memory of the play by play that they had given me. There were some things that I didn't need to know about James and Sirius and how awesome they were in sex was one of them.

"Yes and I have been scarred for life because of your honesty." I replied dryly.

"Come on! We're you best friends! You're supposed to share the smut! Right Mary?" Marlene asked and we all went quiet. I put the magazine down and leant forward, looking at the floor.

"Sometimes, I forget she's not here. That she'll never come back." Marlene whispered and I patted her knee. The sound of the curtains coming apart drew our attention and we looked at Lily. My mouth dropped open.

She was wearing a sleeveless dress that fell to the floor with a full white skirt and intricate pearl beading was sewn across the breast line and the same thing in a pattern on the bottom of the skirt. A green corset sash in a deep emerald colour wound around her waist and was held together with a diamond clip. It looked beautiful on her. It was her dress.

"Lily." I breathed. "You look amazing."

She smiled. "Hair up or down?"

Marlene went up behind her and waved her wand to it was up in a French roll with ringlets falling messily around her face. "All we need is some pins or clips."

"You're amazing." I declared, coming up behind them both. "Camera!"

"What?" Lily and Marlene chorused, turning around with the same confused expressions. I dug through my purse and pulled out a camera. I waved it and it sat in mid-air. I clicked the timer and raced to link arms with Marlene and Lily. The flash went off and we relaxed. I raced forward and took the camera, snapping one of Lily alone, modelling her dress.

Our bridesmaid dresses were simple, but elegant. They were dark green, sleeveless, fell just above the knee and around the waist was a layer of white lace, the opposite to Lily's dress. Because lily had decided on her being up, we were going to have our hair down.

"I think we're done for the day ladies." Lily announced.

"We'll meet at my house. It's closer to the church and Sirius has moved out now so we'll have the place to ourselves."

"You and Sirius broke up?" Lily asked sadly, slinging her bag over her shoulder.

"Yeah, like a week ago." Marlene said, snapping her fingers. "Keep up with it, Lils."

We laughed and I heard Lily grumble, "You get engaged and you fall behind on gossip. Who would've thought?"

I shut the door to the apartment behind me and slumped against it. Who knew that shopping for bridal wear was so exhausting? I threw my coat off and kicked my shoes into the corner. I grabbed a butterbeer from the cupboard and made my way into the sitting room to find three of the four marauders there. James and Sirius were grinning in a way that made me nervous.

"What?" I asked, self-consciously. "Do I have something on my face?"

"So…you and Moony finally did the deed." Sirius began and I groaned, stalking past them.

"First Lily and Marlene, now you! I don't want to share about my sex life!" I groaned, sitting down heavily on the couch. James snickered.

"No offense, but the girls have already given me a play by play on you guys having sex, and I really didn't need to hear about it then, so I'm not really up to sharing with you about mine." I added, sipping from my butterbeer. James and Sirius appeared over the couch and I saw Remus laughing silently, smothering his chuckles behind a hand.

"They what?" they chorused, aghast. I nodded.

"I know lots of things about you guys that I shouldn't." I shuddered. Sirius shifted uncomfortably and James blushed bright red.

"What did they say?" Sirius asked.

"Many, many, disturbing things that have scarred me for life." I replied seriously. "And the thing is, I didn't even ask to know any of that. They told me during a girl talk. Ugh."

"I think we should have a talk with them, Prongs." Sirius said seriously.

"I agree, Padfoot, my friend. But before we do that, let's get all the horny details from Moony."

"Hey!" I cried. "I am sitting right here you know!"

"Meh." James waved it aside and I scowled.

"Why don't you just show them the drawing you did this morning?" I muttered sarcastically as I walked past them. They must have heard me because they turned to Remus who shrugged. He got up from the armchair and handed his sketchpad to the boys. They flipped it to the last page and Sirius whistled.

"I could get used to waking up and seeing that every morning." He murmured to James. I threw a spoon at his head and glared at him.

"OW!" he said, rubbing the back of his skull and glaring at me with anger.

"That's what you get for perving on your best mates girl." James said and we all dissolved into laughter while Sirius pouted and rubbed his head.
