*******CHAPTER TWO********

James was moping after his mother as she walked around the throne room lecturing him.

"James dear, I want you to get married. It's just that the girl has to be perfect. She has to be a true princess that is something I apsolutly insist on. I mean I was a true princess when I married your father. That what you want isn't it? Someone just like me? I may not be happy with your father and your father may be a cruel bitter man but he is still your father. When you marry the rest of the kingdom can but until then..."

"Mom, sometimes I get the feeling you don't want me to get married." James muttered.

"Don't want you to get married! Why James dear of course I want you to get married. That just what I was saying to your father this morning I said 'Kris I want that boy to get married it just isn't normal for a boy that age to stay single, I want..." Queen Jess said very fast.

Sir Sirius and Lady Lia entered the throne room. Sir Sirius was wearing what we usually did with his tunic and sword. Lady Lia was wearing a elegant green dress that made her dark hair and brown eyes stand out.

"I have the honour to request a perilous journey..." Sir Sirius started

"What!" Replied the Queen.

"I want to go look for a true princess"

"I have tested all the princess' near the kingdom. None of them will work. We will have to wait until their little sisters grow up, and that will take years" That queen stuck her nose further up in the air.

"I plan to go across the badlands"

"Across the badlands!"

Lady Lia watched the two hopeful that the queen would let him go.

"Into the Marshlands....where the beautiful swamp lily grows" Sirius continued.

"Into the marshlands are you out of your mind" the queen shrieked

"Let him go mom please" James begged with his puppy dog eyes.

"Oh all right, but you aren't going to find anything there but frogs, and tadpoles, and things" The Queen replied bitterly.

With that the Queen stormed out.

**************************************************************************

"Sirius why are you going?" James asked.

Sirius became interested in floor.

"Ummmm....I want to help you find.......a wife"



"Right" James replied "Good luck. Don't do anything I wouldn't do. Be careful and watch out for ....things"

"Don't worry. I'll be fine" Sirius smirked.

*************************************************************

Sirius was packed for his journey and was just saying goodbye to Lady Lia.

"Don't worry, I'll be back before you know it." Sirius whispered to Lia.

Lia giggled softly and pulled a piece of cloth from her sleeve.

"Wear this" Lia said.

"Next to my heart"

"We will be waiting for you to return" Lia said as tears fell from her eyes.

"We?"

"You know" Lia said as she pointed to her stomach.

"Goodbye my love. It will not be long"

"In a little while I will see your smile on the face of my son to be"

"Goodbye" Lia cried

************

"Remus. Have you seen the wizard?" James asked as he ran down the corridor to catch up with Remus.

"Wizard...no. Why do you want the wizard? Has Sirius left?" Remus slowed down to let James catch up.

"Yepp Sirius left"

James and Remus were walking down the stone corridor towards the outside gardens. The castle was extremely large and easy to get lost in.

"Is.....Are......Ummm....What's with Sirius and Lady Lia?" James asked.



Because of his royal duties, James didn't get to spend as much time with his friends as he would want.

"I do not know. I know that they spend a lot of time together and they seem to like each other. I don't know how serious they are though" Remus replied.

"Sirius is always seriou......." James started.

Remus cut in "Don't even start. That Sirius serious thing is so old. It was funny when we were six"

Remus and Sirius' families had always been part of the Royal court. The three had grown up together.

"Right" James smirked.

"Hey look it's your father" Remus pointed to a 20 years older copy of James.

"What is he doing?" James muttered.

"Singing. I think" Remus anwsered.

'Singing hey nonny nonney hey nonny nonny hi diddle diddle strike up a tune on the fiddle. Cause when we go swimming we always go (nude)'James' dad sung.

"I'm not going to ask" James muttered "Quick walk away"

King Kris turned around and saw the boys.

"Jamsie....Remus..come here boys" Kris called.

James rolled his eyes "Great"

"Were going to have a ball in three weeks from tomorrow" King Kris announced.

"Great" James said with sarcastic enthusiasm.

"Yepp, You better believe it. Dancing, Music, food, princess'. Anything else? Wait I wonder..."

James and Remus were already gone.

***************************************************

Sir Sirius' journey took three weeks. Upon his return he brought with him a princess.

A startling red head with green eyes stepped into the throne room.

"Why my dear are you all wet? Are you a true princess? I mean all wet do you think you look like a princess? Red hair? I don't know anyone with red hair! Where are you from? Do you actually expect me to believe that you are a true princess of the royal blood? And that I'm actually to believe you are here to ask for my son's hand in marriage? I think you are under a very unfortunate misapprehension! My son isn't going to marry any washed up 'chambermaid'' Not well I have breathe in my body. And I haven't been feeling well! Not Well at all! I get these shooting pains all through here! And don't try to tell me it's the vapors! I've had the vapors! I know what the vapors are!" The queen almost yelled in fury at the red head.

By this point most princess' were cowering in the corners. This Princess however stood in the same spot, trying to dry her soaked dress.

"Actually I fell in the moat. But don't worry, I'll do a quick drying spell and it will all be good" Princess 13 said.



"May I ask What your name is?" James asked, clearly fascinated with the wet princess.

"Sure, Umm...My name is Lily" The princess who we now know is Lily said.

(A/N bet you didn't see that one coming)

"Sir Sirius..ahhh...he's still out there" Lily pointed to the other side of the moat were Sirius sat waiting for the drawbridge to be lowered. "Told me you had a opening for a princess....any princess so I figured......anyway here I am who's the lucky man?"

A/N reviews please?? Meh whatever floats your boat
