Hey precious ones,
Arrrgh I'm not completely satisfied with this one but it's driving me crazy re writing it all the time and I feel like I ran out of steam with Lily's side so it's a little chopped but I'm hoping I'm just being a perfectionist and you all enjoy it.
Thanks so much for the continued support from everyone; I can't even find enough words worthy enough for how grateful I am. You are so beautiful.
Worth noting are the always faithful;

JAMES
Someone was watching me, even with my eyes closed I could tell, could feel their gaze burning into mine. My body tensed as I tried to determine whether it was a friend of foe. I tensed as I felt someone move closer to my bed, sliding my hand under my pillow to grasp my wand so I was prepared for any attack.
As they moved even closer I heard a low sound…was that giggling?
I sighed and then moved quickly, pushing the intruder away and dumping them on the floor..
Sirius looked up at me sheepishly. "Good morning sunshine!"
Definitely foe.
"Sirius, what are you doing here? Leave me alone," I said, rubbing my eyes and turning my back on him, hiking the covers back up.
"I really think you're going to want to wake up mate,"
Impatience dripped through my tone. "Sirius, we went through this last time, naked muggle movies do not qualify as an emergency, go grab Pete,"
"That was like one…maybe five times that I did that and it's so much more important this time,"
I sat up and glared at him. "What? What could be so important? It's two in the morning!"
Sirius jumped up and tackled me onto the bed. "Exactly! You're getting married in three and a half hours dude!"
I pushed Sirius off me and jumped out of bed. "Dude! You were meant to wake me at one!"
Sirius ruffled my hair. "But you're just so adorable when you sleep,"
I rolled my eyes. "Shut up! Have you heard from the girls?"
Sirius groaned. "This is our last couple hours together before you become one of "them" and all you can focus on is Evans,"
I grinned. "Mate, I just want that ring on her finger and our names on that contract before she changes her mind, I mean, can you blame me?"
Sirius nudged me. "I got a peek before Lily demanded I make sure you're not late to your own wedding and yeah, I can blame you, you should see the look Carla has in her eyes now every time she looks at me, I swear I'll wake up tomorrow morning dressed in a suit, propped up with her in a white dress smiling at me,"
I burst out laughing. "Pad foot, I realise your child hood was a bit different to all of ours so you didn't learn the proper life skills but I thought you knew the difference between marriage and funerals,"
Sirius ruffled my hair. "Prongs, everyone knows marriage is the only legal form of human slavery they have left,"
I barked out a laugh and pulled him into a head lock, dragging him out to Frank's living room where the boys were waiting.
"I told you, you should have woken him at one," Remus said, not even looking up from his book.
"And I told you it would be more fun for me if I didn't," Sirius replied.
"You're in a head lock," Frank said.
Sirius attempted to shrug. "Am I complaining?"
"What are you reading Moony?" I asked as I messed Sirius's hair up.
"Marriage for dummies?" Sirius asked as he struggled.
Remus grinned. "Yeah, something like that,"
I released Sirius and slid into the seat next to Remus who was actually going through a scrap book with pictures of Sirius and Carla.
"So, do we have breakfast, lunch, dinner? I don't really know the protocol for early morning weddings,"
"I think it's classified as a very early breakfast," Peter replied.
"Better not eat too much Prongs, I think they're trying to feed all of England with the catering for this wedding," Frank warned.
"Give the man a break, he's going to need all the energy he can handle," Sirius said, sitting across from me.
"Sirius, I told you, I don't look at today as a bad thing," I said.
"I'm taking about the honey moon dude, you need to conserve your strength,"
I grinned broadly, unable to stop myself.
"See? He knows it. Get the man some sausages Worm tail,"
Peter pouted. "Why do I have to do it?"
"Because I asked you to," Sirius replied simply.
Peter grit his teeth for a brief glimpse then his face lit up and he bounced off to do as he's told.
"You gotta start being nicer to him," Remus scolded.
"He's alright Moony, you need to stop mothering him, he's like my little pup,"
I rolled my eyes. "Mate, treat someone like a dog and eventually they'll piss on you,"
Sirius groaned. "Alright, alright, I'll go supervise,"
"Sirius,"
"Fine, I'll go help," Sirius said in exasperation and left the room.
"Our little man's growing up so fast," Remus said sarcastically.
I chuckled. "Yeah, maybe by the time he's twenty five he'll have grasped what being responsible means,"
Frank and Remus both stared at me and I shrugged. "Or not,"
*
After a very early breakfast, I went for a walk outside to clear my head and get some space to myself before all the chaos that was about to take place. It was a beautiful night, clear skies, bright stars, huge moon casting a pearly glow on the ground.
I smiled up at the sky, convinced mum and Lily's dad somehow had something to do with this.
"I love you mum,"
A shooting star burst across the sky and I grinned, lying down on the grass and staring above.
Moments later Onyx came and landed next to me, clipping my fingers affectionately.
"An hour and a half and then I start my own family," I told him as I stroked the top of his head. "I wonder if Evans is as excited as me,"
Taking that as his cue, Onyx lifted his leg where a small piece of parchment had been tied.
How are your feet feeling boyfriend?
I grinned, pulled my wand out and scribbled a note back.
Toasty and warm, wife. I'll see your beautiful face soon.
I sent Onyx off, and lay back down a content smile on my face, peace filling my whole body. It was going to be a perfect day, I just knew it. There was going to be no fights, no drama, no deaths today, just happiness and love; how every wedding should be.
A small breeze came along and a something papery landed, covering my eyes.
I pulled the parchment off and stared at it confused; it was a wedding invitation. What the hell was it doing here? I flipped it over, thinking Lily might have written on the back of it but there was nothing.
"Hey Jimmy,"
I froze, too scared to move, too scared to ruin the hallucination, if that's what it was.
"Son?"
I slowly raised my head and there standing in front of me was my father.
"Dad?" I asked in a strangely childish voice.
He nodded and smiled at me brightly.
I got to my feet and stared at him, completely speechless, not even entirely sure if I was even awake.
"How are you son? You look good, well you should, you just got the girl of your dreams to agree to marry you without even using a love potion…you didn't use a love potion right?"
I shook my head, still trying to find my voice.
"Good man, it's the Potter gene you know, we're irritatingly irresistible,"
I staggered forward, not quite touching him but needed to be closer. "Dad…I miss you so much,"
The smile disappeared from his face and he looked ready for tears. "I know, I miss you too Jimmy,"
I blinked away the tears that were threatening to break, dropping eye contact with my dad for a moment.
"James, I need you to know how proud I am of you, I challenge another parent to be as proud of their child as I am of you. Your bravery, your strength and common decency is above and beyond what anyone could expect from a trained Aurora, let alone a just graduated young man. I am so, sorry for not being there, the pain you've had to deal with…it's more than any man should have to deal with; but you've done so well. I love you so much Jimmy and you have to know that's never going to change,"
I took a moment to let everything sink in…to understand what he was really trying to tell me.
Before I could reply he began again. "You better go get ready Jimmy, you still have to clean up, if you're late to your own wedding Lily will have your head on a plate,"
"Where are you going?" I asked, panicked.
"I'll be watching my only boy start a family," he told me gently.
"I love you dad," I replied, when I really meant I'll never forger you.
"You're the achievement I'm most proud of James," Goodbye, I love you.
The tears broke through and I turned away, hiding from dad.
I heard the grass rustle and then warmth spread around me; arms holding me close, comforting me, holding me together. "We'll be waiting,"
"Prongs?"
I opened my eyes and my dad was gone, I was standing alone in the yard.
I spun around to find Sirius walking over; looking distraught.
I hastily wiped away the tears. "What's wrong? The flowers turn out purple instead of red?"
Sirius charged on through and wrapped his arms around my shoulders.
"Whoa…whoa are you ok?"
"Prongs…it's your dad…the hospital just called,"
I sighed; already knowing what he was going to tell me.
"He…he didn't make it man, he's not going to ever wake up…he's gone,"
I nodded, an unusual sense of calm filling my whole body, I patted Sirius's back and forced a smile. "Not gone mate, never gone. He's where he needs to be, where he's always belonged,"
Sirius wiped away his tears and nodded. "Yeah…yeah you're right,"
"Come on, let's go make ourselves pretty,"
Sirius smiled weakly and began to walk back to the house. "Ok mate, try to keep up. Hey, who were you talking to anyway?"
I smiled and just kept walking; the invitation still clenched in my fist.
*
"Are you ready?"
"Yes Sirius,"
"No, I mean are you ready, ready?"
I sighed in impatience. "Sirius, I wasn't aware that there was more than one ready,"
"You know what I mean, I just want to make sure-"
"Open the goddamn door Sirius," I replied curtly.
Sirius grinned; pleased with having irritated me and opened the doors leading to the backyard where the wedding was taking place.
My mouth dropped.
"Wow,"
It was incredible. Clear chairs sat in rows with a ball of light in each of them, partially covered by dark wisps of cloud so each chair had a sunrise in it. Simple lighting had been used with floating glowing stars lining the whole surrounding forest so it felt like we were up with the stars in the sky. Gorgeous white and red bouquets of flowers hung on the chairs and in gorgeous silvery illuminated vases. The walk way leading from the doors to the front of the make shift alter was covered in glowing Lily petals.
It was exactly what Lily would love; simple, elegant and beautiful.
"Pad foot, this is amazing,"
The closer I got the more I realised how much detail had been put into this, the aroma of exotic and beautiful flowers was amazing; the detailing on the chairs; the stars it was just phenomenal. I had the best friends any one could ever ask for.
"As much as I would love to take all the credit for this awesomeness; there was a lot of help involved,"
I shook Sirius's shoulder playfully. "This could possibly be the best day of my life,"
Sirius cleared his throat and I smiled at him. "Besides meeting you of course,"
Sirius batted his eye lashes at me and blew me a kiss. I stuck my finger up in return then took off before he could get hit me.
"Oi!" Sirius called and took off after me.
Just when I thought I was out running him I felt four pours on my back and then I was being pushed to the ground. I could hear growling in my ear, and just as I was waiting for the drool to cover my whole neck a piercing sound broke the air.
"Sirius Orion Black!"
Immediately the pressure ceased from my back and I rolled over to find Dog-Sirius with his head bowed and Carla in a dressing gown, hair and make up done to perfection with her arms crossed over her chest.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?"
Sirius morphed back but remained sitting with his head bowed. "Just playing around,"
"In your dress robes, right before the wedding?"
"Um…yes?"
Carla sighed. "You're impossible, the guests are going to start arriving any minute and you're treating this like it's Halloween,"
"Sorry babe,"
"You're lucky I planned for this stupidity, go to the garage, there's a good set of robes for you and James down there waiting for you,"
Sirius ventured a look at Carla who still had her arms crossed but her face was softening.
"You look beautiful," he whispered.
Carla giggled and waved his words away. "Wait until you see Lily, now off you both go!"
Sirius and I both scrambled to our feet and set off at a moderate jog towards the house before Carla took one of our heads off.
"What do you reckon? Got myself a keeper?" Sirius asked with a smirk.
I grinned back. "Oh yeah, cute as a kitten that one,"
Sirius burst out laughing. "Just have to work on filing down her claws,"
*
I stood at the back of the forest, waiting for Lily to walk down the isle, waiting for everyone's eyes to be trained on something other than me, waiting to start my future.
"Ready?" Sirius whispered.
I smiled. "Ready, ready,"
"Good, because here they come,"
One by one Carla, Violet and Alice walked down the glowing petal isle in matching champagne coloured dresses with a red sash around the waist and all wearing the same bright smile on their faces.
My hands began to shake with the anticipation, I felt restless; I just wanted to see Lily already; I wanted to hold my wife.
The music changed, my heart beat faster and the double doors opened once more and out came Lily, holding her mum's hand, who was looking frail in her wheel chair as they made their way down the front.
There were no words worthy of her beauty, there was no definition for such perfection. I felt tears begin to pool in my eyes, as I stared at her.
Her dress was white with a red sash around her waist with thin straps, form fitting her body and pooling out around her feet. Her hair was a mass of sexy curls around her face with half of it being pulled back with a gorgeous glinting star secured in the side of her hair. Her eyes have never been so green; her smile has never been so bright; I have never loved her more.
"That's a damn good looking slave driver," Sirius whispered to me.
I grinned, my eyes never leaving Lily's as she finally made her way to the front. With white, bony hands, Mrs Evans pressed Lily's hand into my own.
"Look after my girl," she told me in barely a whisper.
I bent down and pressed a kiss to her forehead. "I will spend the rest of my life making her happy ma'am,"
Carla moved forward and wheeled Mrs Evans to the front near the brides maids, before taking her spot again.
Lily put her hand in mine and we faced the front where our minister stood.
"You look pretty," Lily whispered as the minister began to welcome everyone.
"You're beyond beautiful," I whispered back.
I tuned out most of the beginning, getting lost in Lily's bright green eyes as they grew brighter and brighter as pinks and purples began to burst through the sky as the sun began to rise.
"Lily and James have decided to write their own vowels and James is going to start it off,"
I took a deep breath and squeezed Lily's hands.
"I'm not good with public speaking," I began. "So it's not going to be too long and forgive me if I start to cry like a little girl,"
Everyone chuckled a little and Lily grinned.
"Basically, life is not complete with out you in it and as far as i'm concerned, my life starts now; with you by my side. You have always been the girl of my dreams and now that I've got you I realise just how poor my imagination is; you go above and beyond what anyone could ever imagine perfection to be. Love lasts a life time, true love lasts forever…so I'm looking forward to spending my forever with you. I love you so much,"
Lily smiled broadly and wiped at a tear hastily before blowing me a kiss and putting her hand in mine was I could place the two rings on her finger. Once I had put them on Lily grasped my hand again and smiled, the sun just starting to light up her face.
"James," she began and the smirked and corrected herself. "Potter, I have always felt growing up that there was something wrong with me, that I was always cut off from the world; I didn't realise until now that I was just waiting for you to complete me, that you were where I belonged. In life all you need is a reason to wake up in the morning. One reason to keep you going, to give you strength, to keep the bad away. Thank you for being that reason, I love you."
A few tears moved down my face as I beamed at Lily when she put the ring on my finger. A loud sniffle caught my attention and I looked behind me to see Sirius wiping away tears and leaning on Remus who was patting his back reassuringly.
I fought back a chuckle and returned my attention to the minister.
"With their rings, Lily and James have declared their love, if there is any person who believes these two shall not be forever entwined, please speak now or forever hold you peace,"
I looked around at our friends and family who remained silent
I looked at Lily with the early morning sun now warming her face and shining on her beauty and took a deep breath.
LILY
"Wait!"
My eyes snapped to James who had spoken and I felt my heart threaten to shatter, cracks already starting to spread.
"Mr Potter? Is there some problem?"
James grinned and tugged at my waist. "You look hot Evans, just needed to say it one last time,"
My heart spluttered then pounded with a vengeance just as my fist swung out towards James' face, years of practice seemed to work in his favour because for the first time ever he grabbed my hand before it could hit home and pulled me in close, our lips inches apart.
"I love you,"
Before I could press my lips against his he turned his face slightly to the minister. "Can we do the whole kiss the bride thing? I want to kiss Mrs Potter for the first time,"
The minister smiled at us warmly. "By the power vested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife…you may now kiss the bride,"
"About time!" James exclaimed before spinning me and dipping me in his arms before kissing me passionately, earning wolf whistles and cheers from the crowd.
James swung me back up, but still in his arms and high fived Sirius, whose eyes were still looking a little red.
Our guests all clapped and cheered, not one smile missing from anyone's face. I looked to the sky where the sun had now risen, pinks, purples, oranges, blues all fused together to create quite possibly the most beautiful sunrise ever; the most promising beginning.
I smiled so big I thought my jaw might break because I knew this was a sign of only good to come.
"Now that the business end is done, let's party!" Sirius exclaimed, pulling me out of James' arms and twirling me around in a circle.
I giggled and beat on his shoulders half heartedly. "Let me down Sirius, you're going to wrinkle my dress,"
Sirius pinched my cheeks playfully. "Evans, you could be in a sack and Prongs would fall on his knee declaring you his sun,"
Familiar, warm arms pulled me away from Sirius and kept me close. "That's Mrs Potter to you buddy, keep your hands off,"
Sirius raised his hands in mock surrender and backed away slowly towards Carla.
I spun around so I was facing James and ran my hands through his hair. "Mrs Potter huh?"
James pressed his forehead against mine. "Forever,"
"Come on you two, you'll have plenty of time to be alone after the wedding is done, you're going to miss your own party if you keep this up and I want a dance with Mrs Potter,"
I released James and wrapped my arms around Remus. "You'll definitely get a dance Remus,"
"Congratulations to you both," Frank said who had flanked Remus.
"Oh my god you guys are so adorable!" Violet said, bouncing up and down.
"Definitely the second hottest couple out there," Alice said slyly.
I giggled and wrapped my arms around Violet, Alice and Carla who had just joined. "We're clearly the hottest girls that have ever graced this planet,"
"Ladies, you're being very anti social," Sirius scolded, gesturing to the guests that were chatting amongst themselves to the back yard that had been transformed in the few minutes we'd be preoccupied.
The chairs had been transformed into cloud shapes floating by lines of tables with silver table cloths, the lights had been taken away now that the sun was shining. Silver and red decorations were placed around the tables, vases of gorgeous flowers lined the tables, and now the stars had been changed to rainbows that hung above everyone.
It was beautiful.
I took James hand and we walked to the main table where the bridal party would be sitting. The main table was just like the smaller ones except we had beautiful crystal ornaments on our table that turned different colours ever so often.
"Isn't this the most amazing wedding ever?" I whispered to James.
"We are definitely the most fortunate people when it comes to those closest to us," James replied.
I looked over and saw Professor Dumbledore smiling at us and waved at him excitedly, Dumbledore sent over a dove that nestled against my cheek.
"Everyone, could I have your attention please?" James asked, standing up.
Within moments to rooms noise dulled to silence.
"I just really wanted to say thank you so much for getting up at this crazy hour and supporting mine and Lily's love. I can't tell you how much it means to the both of us to have the people we care most about here; it's been a hard year and there are some people that aren't here that should be, however, it's times like these that make it all worth it. If love, freedom and happiness aren't something to fight for, then what is? Again, thank you all so much for coming, we love you so, so much. Enjoy!"
As James finished speaking plates filled the table filled with bacon, sausages, hash browns, eggs, pancakes, fruit, muffins and many other delicious treats.
"We love you too mate!"
"You're welcome,"
"To Lily and James!"
Cheers from different people erupted the air again and I nestled in closer to James; basking in the best moment of my life so far.
"Hungry?" James asked me.
"Starving," I replied honestly. "Carla didn't let me eat anything this morning in case I ruined my appetite,"
James chuckled and took my plate and began to fill it with all my favourite things.
"Ooo good service, I like it,"
James winked at me. "Better get used to is Mrs Potter, only the best for my lady,"
I giggled slightly. "Mrs Potter, Lily Potter, I kind of like it,"
James took my hand and pressed his lips to the top of it. "I kind of love it,"
"Are you going to be like this from now on?" Peter asked in mock disgust.
I blew him a kiss just as James told him to get used to it.
"If you told me seven years ago I would be sitting at Lily and James Potters wedding I would have laughed in your face," Violet said.
Carla scoffed. "Come off it, these two have been hot for each other for years, the whole cat and mouse game was just a sexual prelude,"
I rolled my eyes and blushed. "Eat your food Carla,"
Carla winked. "Sure Lils, I'm saving it all for the speech anyway,"
I groaned and leaned into James.
"Think of it this way love, Carla is doing your speech Sirius is doing mine,"
I smiled at James. "That does make me feel better,"
*
"Speeches everybody, speeches!" Sirius called, using his wand to make it voice louder.
I stayed where I was in James lap and looked up at Sirius expectantly.
"My beautiful, talented, amazing girlfriend is going to go first,"
"What do you think? Angling for a shag tonight?" James whispered in my ear.
"Shh," I replied with a little giggle, looking over at Carla.
"Hello everybody, for those of you that don't know me I'm one of Lily's best friend's Carla. I've known Lily since the first year at Hogwarts, in fact, I've known James since the first year at Hogwarts, well at least heard his name a million times. I remember clearly the first time Lily came storming into our dorm room, fuming after James Potter had just asked her out. At first I thought he must be some kind of loser and had made an enemy in Lily, but then every single day at least six times a day we would all hear about James Potter and his failed attempts with Lily.
Second year she storms into the dorm after James has tried to kiss her and her cheeks are pink. "I hate him," she says. "You're going to get married," I replied. Of course that started Lily off on another tirade of how she would rather die than marry him, well Lils, I'm looking at you and you seem to be alive and well so I'm going to assume love got to you in the end,"
I smiled and shrugged at her, Carla continued.
"Through the years, I have come to know Lily very well, come to see how beautiful, kind, gentle, passionate and humble she is. I have watched her grow into one of the most beautiful women ever with so much potential for an amazing future. In these years I have watched James grow with Lily as well until they ended up growing together so they are almost one now. It makes me so proud to stand here today and see my best friend glowing with happiness; it makes me even prouder to see her end up with a guy that loves her as much as we do. I'm going to start getting emotional soon, so I'm just going to leave it with I can't think of another couple that deserve this happiness as much and Lily and James and I'm so honoured to have even met either of them,"
I wiped at the tears just breaking through and got up to hug Carla tightly.
"Thank you," I whispered.
"Love you," she replied, before letting go and taking her place next to Sirius again, who was already standing.
"Beautiful isn't she? Well, I have known James here from day one really and from day one we've been partners in crime, I can almost guarantee you we've spent almost as much time in detention then we have in class. We played by our own rules, then proceeded to break them. I knew I could count on James if I was ever in trouble and he knew I had his back to. Our first fight was fought together, our first holiday was together, our first prank was together. To put it simply, Prongs is the closest thing to family I have and he has always treated me like a brother and done anything in his power to help me. Simply put; we know way too much about each other to ever be enemies.
Now, seeing as I've known James for almost a decade now; I have a lot of stories I can tell you. Some would probably get us arrested, some we will take to our graves and some are just too crazy for anyone to believe. Now, I've thought long and hard about what to say to you all and I've decided on the top five moments of James and Lily to share with you. In no particular order, here we go..
Number one would be the time James hid in the girls dorm, hoping to catch Lily off guard and scare her into saying yes to him…this resulted in a broken nose.
Number two is James accidentally switching his letter to Lily with the one he had written to Severus Snape in which he had written an essay on why Snape should leave Hogwarts and hide his face from society… a week in the hospital wing for a mysterious illness that seemed to sprout huge pus filled boils all over James…private areas.
Number three would be our fourth year Christmas holidays; James forced me, Moony and Worm tail to help him figure out how to use muggle technology so we could figure out how to locate where Lily lived, we spent weeks trying to figure it out, thinking it must have been something important if he needed to see her so bad. Once we had finally found out where she lived and told James he took off…naturally we followed him. Do you know why he wanted to find out where she lived? So he could leave flowers on her window sill every morning, so even on the gloomiest days; she woke up to something beautiful.
Number four is James pleading his case to Dumbledore about making him head boy so he could finally have a chance to get closer to Lily and secure a happy future. Guess those weeks of consistent begging really paid off huh Prongs?
And number five is tonight; this moment right here…after seven years of watching Lily and James skirt around their feelings, standing here and watching them so in love and so happy is something that is going to be a favourite moment of mine for the rest of my life.
It hasn't always been easy, there's been a lot of bruises and hurt ego's, lots of obstacles and pain but right in front of you is proof of true love and happy endings and I…"
Sirius broke off as he got a little choked up and had to compose himself.
"I am just so proud of you both. You bring not only me but each and every one of us hope that there are happy endings out there; that love is stronger than anything else and that if you refuse to leave a woman alone to the point of borderline stalking; you too can land one of the hottest babes ever. James has always been a brother to me and tonight, I am more than thrilled…it's my complete privilege to welcome a sister into my life too. May you live a long and loving life together, to Lily and James,"
As everyone toasted to James and I, James moved up to envelop Sirius in a massive bear hug, a few tears in his eyes too.
"The new couple are going to share their first dance together now," Sirius croaked out as he still wiped tears away.
James took my hand and led me to the makeshift dance floor that had wispy clouds across it, to give the illusion that we were walking on air.
I wrapped my arms around his neck and rested my head on his shoulder as we rotated slowly on the floor.
"Beautiful wedding huh?" I asked.
"With you as the bride I didn't expect anything less than perfect," he replied.
"Thank you…for being so patient with me for all these years," I whispered.
"Lils, haven't you realised by now? There is nothing I wouldn't do for you, I love you more than anything,"
Together we moved slowly around the floor, our loved ones beaming at us as they watched. I snuggled closer to James and with the sun shining down on us; I could have sworn we were flying.
