a mill! Luv you guys!
P.S. are you happy now Moony? I'm posting, now you go rite!
"Lily?" There was a
knock on the door. Lily Evans didn't
answer it, but continued staring at herself in the mirror.
This was it; there was no turning back now. In ten minutes, she would march down that
aisle to James and -
She groaned. Panic
began to build her. Was this really
right? Was she doing the right thing?
"Lily?" she
reluctantly unlocked the door. Sirius
poked his head in.
"Are you just about…" but his words died. Lily looked at him nervously. He smiled slowly.
"James is a lucky man." He said, softly. Lily bit her lip.
"Oh, Sirius! I don't know. I can't do this." He grinned.
Then he entered and sat down beside her. He took in his friend, sitting in a
long white dress, the sleeves down to her wrists and her shoulders bare. The white veil made her long red hair seem
all the fierier.
Sirius himself,
looked quite different. He looked a bit uncomfortable in his tux, though it made
him look quite dashing. His long hair,
usually let loose and hanging, was pulled back in a ponytail and his earring
dangled from his right ear. Seems, even
Mari couldn't get him to take it off. He seemed more than ready to go back to
his robes, or even his t-shirt and shorts.
"Why not? Nervous?" she nodded. He grinned.
"Well, I can tell you James is across the hall right now
attempting to pry open his window. Remus and I had to seal it shut so he
couldn't get out. He's just as bad." She smiled a bit.
"Really?" he nodded.
"It's scaring me, it is. I mean, I'm doing this less than a
month from now and he's in there going mad about whether or not he's doing the
right thing or asking me if he is truly going insane." Sirius shook his head.
Suddenly, a voice called in.
"Lily? Are you ready?" Mari and Addi appeared, in their
bride's maid's gowns. Sirius stood up
and his face lit up as Mari crossed to him.
"Giving the bride a bit of a pep talk?" she asked. He
nodded.
"Well, if I were you, id go over there and help Remus make
sure the groom doesn't get a hold of his wand." Sirius groaned, then with a kiss to Mari, a hug to his sister,
and a grin to Lily, he left. Mari watched him go with a dreamy expression.
The three girls sat in silence for a moment. Then they
shared several secret looks. Then came another knock on the door. Remus opened
it and smiled.
"You look breath taking Lily. We'll have to hold James up
when he sees you. Speaking of which, it's time." He motioned to the door. Mari squeezed Lily's hand and Addi gave her
a comforting hug. Lily took a deep breath, the gathered her bouquet and skirts
and walked purposefully out the door.
There sit something that I see
In the way you look at me.
She took several long breaths to steady herself as first
Addi, then Mari walked down the aisle.
Then Remus offered her his arm and they stepped out into the church.
There's a smile there.
It's the truth, in your eyes
In the years to come, Lily would not remember the large
crowd all standing in respect for her, all gasping at her beauty. She would not remember the flurry of
whispers at her entrance, or Remus's steady tread. She would only remember the
sight of James.
What an unexpected way,
On this unexpected day
James was waiting for her at the alter, smiling gently. At the sight of his face, all doubt vanished and she smiled at
him as Remus handed her to her husband to be.
"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to celebrate the
union of James Ryan Potter and Lily Marie Evans."
Odd, Lily thought, it is very odd. I never knew this day would come so fast, or that the man I love
could be so prefect.
Could it be this is where I belong?
It is you I have loved
All along
James glanced at her nervously. She gave him a small smile.
He grinned back and her heart melted. How could she have never known it
was he who held her heart? That the
only place she belonged was in his arms?
No more mystery
It is finally clear to me
After eight years,
they were finally doing what Sirius had predicted they would do on that
first night at Hogwarts. She remembered
it well.
"You two are going to get married one day." They'd thrown several things at him, then
James had told him he would marry Erin.
That hadn't worked, when Erin was killed in their seventh year.
But now Sirius had Mari, Remus and Addi, and
Lily had James.
You're the home my heart searched for
So long
"Do you, James Ryan
Potter, take Lily to be your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, in
sickness and in health, for richer or for poorer, as long as you both shall
live?" James looked deep into her eyes,
and Lily found herself right at home in those large blue circles.
"I do." James's voice was strong, reassuring, determined,
and loving. Lily wasn't sure she'd ever
be able to let go of his hand.
And it is you I have loved
All along
"Do you, Lily Marie Evans,
take James to be your lawfully wedded husband to have and to hold, in
sickness and in health, for richer or for poorer, as long as you both shall
live?" she looked up at him, then
glanced out into the crowd.
There were times I ran to hide
Afraid to show the other side
Terror began to build inside her again. Was this right? Was she doing the right thing? She looked
out into the crowd of their friends.
She saw Remus's encouraging face,
Sirius's laughing one, Mari's expectant one, and Addi's calm one. She
gave Lily a small smile and nodded.
Alone in the night
Without you
Lily knew what she was saying. Tonight and for the rest of their lives, Lily wanted nothing more
than to fall asleep in the arms of the
man she loved. It would be a cold bed indeed without him.
But I know just who you are
And I know you hold my heart
Finally this is where I belong
James's hand tightened and she glanced back at her. His eyes
were full of reassurance and his mouth held a small smile. For a long moment,
she gazed at him, lost in the familiarity she found whenever she gazed into his
eyes.
It is you I have loved
All along
No more mystery
It is finally clear to me
It seemed she'd always find her way home if only she had
James to guide her. No more doubt was
in her mind. She knew that only with
James did she belong.
You're the home my heart searched for
So long
And it is you I have loved
All along
She turned back to James and said in a calm strong voice,
full of love and devotion, "I do."
Over and Over
I'm filled with devotion
Your love, it rushes through my veins
James took a ring and slipped it onto her finger. The gold
band sparkled in the sunlight.
Trembling, she took the wedding band and placed it on his own finger.
He took her shaking
hand and stoked it, lovingly. She
looked up.
And I can feel the sweetest affection
As I look into your prefect face
Love and happiness was pouring out of his face. He smiled gently. She smiled back, taking in everything about him. she wanted to
remember him like this forever. His
glasses, wire rimmed and bent in
several places, his black hair untamed and wild as usual, no amount of magic or
hair spray could tame it, his bright blue eyes shining with warmth and love
mean only for her.
No more mystery
It is finally clear to me
"Ladies and gentleman, I present to you Mr. And Mrs. James
Potter." They turned to face the crowd
who cheered. She smiled at her friends. To her surprise, many
of them were crying. Mari and Addi were openly weeping, Remus letting the tears
flow, and even Sirius, who never cried, hastily wiped his eyes.
You're the home my heart searched for
So long
"You may kiss the bride." James needed no further persuasion.
He pulled her close, kissing her
gently, yet passionately. Lily returned
his affection, and when they broke, she
remained in his embrace, content to do so for years to come.
And it is you I have loved
It is you I have loved
It is you I have loved
All along
