"Lily, will you marry me?" quiried James.
"I love you and I want you for my wife."
"Of course, James, I will marry you. I love you and I-" Lily replied, but was cut off by the kiss that engulfed her mouth.
James and Lily kissed passionatly for minutes, but suddenly were stopped- as Sirius walked into the room. Both people looked up, flustered, but beaming radiantly. Sirius looked from one to the other, and, seeing that they were locked in eachother's arms, walked out of the room as quickly as he had entered.
As soon as he had shut the door, he turned to find remus smiling at him, hand out beckoning. Sirius pulled out 10 silver sickles and put them in Remus's hand, mouth clenched tight. Remus skipped away, laughing hysterically.
"gamblin'," Sirius said,"You can't win, but ya keep doin it anyway. What a world I live in!"
