Part 20

I'm betting everyone is probably getting confused. This is Lily and James first anniversary. Yeah, I skip around alot. I just think it's better to skip, then drag on and on, about pointless stuff. Sirius has a gutter mind, and Peter got a what???
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"How does it feel?" Karen asked Lily when she sat down on the couch next to her.
"What?"
"Being married for a whole three hundred and sixty-four days."
"Great. Do you think James remembered?"
"Probably not."

"What do you get someone for their first anniversary?" James asked looking at the jewelry in the store that he bought Lily's ring in.
"Your virginity, if you haven't already."
"Get your mind out of the gutter Padfoot, before it's stuck there permanently."
"Too late." Came a new voice. Remus walked in the store after seeing them. "Kayla's birthday is in a month, what should I get her?"
"A free visit to a psychologist, or how about a nice straight jacket?"
"I was thinking more along the lines of jewelry."
"How about a promise ring?" James said pointing to a sliver ring in the center case.
"Oh and to answer your question James, for a first anniversary you give paper or clocks."
"I have a great idea." James ran out of the store and down the street.
"He's gone bonkers."
"Like Kayla." Remus smacked Sirius upside the head and started down the street after James.
"And you hit like her." Sirius called after him.

When Lily and James came back from their honeymoon, everyone changed the rooms around, and combined two for the married couple. They were now in bed, like normal people are at six in the morning on weekends. This explains why three people were up and being busy in the kitchen.
"No Karen, you have to wait 'til the pan is hot enough that it sizzles when the eggs touch it."
"I'm sorry Sirius not everyone is a master cook like you."
"Remus do you have the fruit all cut up and ready?"
"Yeah."
"The eggs are done now. You do realize, Padfoot, since this was your idea you're doing the dishes."
"I'll just use my wand."
"Not if you don't have it." Karen pulled two wands out of her pocket.
"Give it back."
"Come and get it." Sirius grabbed her and started tickling her, then kissing her.
"If you guys don't stop they are going to wake up and we won't be able to do the pleasure of it."
"Sorry Remus."

They crept into Lily and James room with two trays of food.
"I know exactly how to wake them up." Karen took out her wand and whispered 'aquarius'. Water shot out of it and soaked Lily and James.
"Ahh!" Lily screamed, then noticed three grinning faces. "Why did you do that?"
"to wake you up now that you both have had your showers you can eat breakfast." James grabbed his glasses and wand. He said a drying spell as Sirius and Remus set the trays down on the bed.
"Happy anniversary." Karen summoned their presents and gave them to Lily and James. Lily got flowers from Karen, a charm necklace from Remus, and a framed picture of her and James from Sirius. James wasn't so lucky to get normal gifts. Sirius' was perhaps the strangest.
"Candy wrappers?"
"Well Remus did say paper was a traditional gift."
"That's like stationary dufus."
"I don't need to take this abuse. I'm going to get eat my unwrapped candy in peace."
Remus gave James a bottle of antler polish and Karen gave him 4 horseshoes.
"Now if you would mind, I'd like to get dressed."
"No problem." Remus and Karen headed for the door, but Sirius stayed put.
"Get a move on Padfoot." Remus grabbed his collar and pulled him out of the room, after Karen smacked him.
"What did Lily get James?"
"A watch with the moon phases. What did James get her?"
"You'll see."
"Thank you so much honey." James kissed Lily. "Now for my present to you." James ran upstairs and came down levitating a large wrapped box.
"I feel so bad now. All I got you was a watch and you get me something huge."
"There's two things." He pulled a much smaller box out of his robe pocket. Lily opened it to find 7 clock hands.
"Now open the bigger one." Lily ripped the paper off of the box, and opened it cautiously, not knowing what would pop out at her.
"A grandfather cloak!"
"But this one tells time, and where people are. See these two bigger ones tells the time, and the smaller ones you cast a charm on it, to engrave the persons name and it tells you where that person is."
"Thank you so much James." The door bell rang as Lily kissed James.
"That's probably Peter." Sirius got up and answered the door. In a second they both walked into the living room.
"Happy anniversary James, Lily." He handed Lily a present, which turned out to be a framed picture of Lily, James, and Sirius at the wedding.
"Thank you Peter, finally a normal gift from a Marauder."
"We gave you normal gifts, just not to James."
"Hey James, if you want a normal gift..." James cut Sirius off.
"Besides candy wrappers."
"Yeah. I could give you the copy of your bachelor party." Sirius pulled the tape out of his robes and waved it around.
"Incindo."
"Accio Tape." Came two shouts, from James and Lily. Lily managed to get the tape, and Sirius got a burnt robe sleeve.
"Do I want to watch this?"
"No. The only good part is Peter getting a lap dance."
"What?" Karen and Lily sputtered, falling into hysterics.
"And Frank Longbottom getting drunk on butter beer."
"All those 3 did was sit at the same table thinking about their girlfriends." Peter put in.
"How sweet. But you're still in trouble."
"Why?"
"Because you stole our stripper." Karen said, getting a glare from Lily.
"No!"
"Then it's because you didn't tell her that we were having a party today." Sirius answered.
"Party?"
"Oh wait. We didn't tell either one of you. Opps. Must have slipped our minds." Karen, Sirius, and Remus tried to look innocent, but was impossible as slamming a revolving door, with the grins on their faces.

All night, people came and went, got drunk (those were the older guests and Sirius) and acted like idiots. Lily, Karen, James, and Remus had to keep cleaning up after people and repair things that were broken. Finally at 2am, the last guest left. Sirius waved drunkenly at Peter and closed the door.
"That was one great party wasn't it?" He then took notice of his exhausted housemates.
"Hey Padfoot?"
"What?"
"You're cleaning up the rest." Lily handed him a bucket, James shoved a mop in his hands, Remus a broom, and Karen handed him a toilet brush.
"It was overused tonight."
