Ask RapunzelsMuse. she'll tell you! Oh yeah, and I have a fic all about them! On with the chappie!
Okay, Disclaimer stands, I haven't been writing it because, it gets really annoying!
Chapter Sixteen- The Wedding
The music blared as the Marauders danced. James and Lily danced happily, ecstatic over the engagement. Sirius and Bridget both were dancing wildly, they were being their crazy selves and they had the whole dance floor in laughs. Remus was dancing with some girl that no one had ever seen before. Her eyes had the same yellow tinge that Remmy's possessed. Her brown hair fell to her shoulders and she smiled with her eyes. Peter danced with some poor girl who was obviously embarrassed to have such a bad dance partner.
The music slowed to a slow dance. Lily put her head on James's shoulder as they danced. She began to sing along to the song.
James laughed, "I love you Lily!"
She smiled, "I love you too James, lets get married tomorrow!"
"Tomorrow?"
"Yes, tomorrow! James, I never know if you'll be there tomorrow or the next! We need to get married soon!"
"Lil', you're starting to scare me! I'll always be there for you! No matter what happens, I promise."
"I know that James, I'll always be there for you too. But You-Know- Who,"
James cut her off, "Don't be afraid to say the name!"
"Alright then, V-v-Voldemort. I can speak for me, and maybe even you, but I cannot speak for him! We must do it tomorrow!" Lily cried her head still on his shoulder. She raised her head to face him. He opened his mouth to speak, "Don't speak, only nod yes or no!"
His head nodded yes, "I love you!" And they kissed on the dance floor. Suddenly they heard cheers coming around them. Lily pulled away to look at who was cheering. She saw Remus and Sirius laughing between cheers and Bridget, the girl with the slightly yellow eyes, and Peter were clapping. Lily and James kissed again, just for the crowd. They laughed and returned to their table.
"I want to finish my drink, come on!" Lily said. She indeed finished her drink. Finally they decided to go home to Sirius's house for the night.
***
"You're getting married? You're getting married? Yay! Yay! Yay!" Abby's voice filled the hallway of her cousin's condo. Arabella Figg had decided to spend the night at his house since it had been around three when the group had gotten home. Arabella came running up the stairs wondering what the commotion was as did Remus, Sirius, Peter, and James.
Abby looked apologetically at the small crowd that was forming in the hallway, "Sorry guys! But you're getting married! This is so exciting, when? When?"
"Um, today, I guess!" Lily said.
Abby was shocked, "Today? Today? Isn't that a little soon?"
"Gotta get on with life! So today it is! And you're all invited!" she said acknowledging everyone in the hallway.
Sirius scoffed, "I would hope so! I would be incredibly hurt if you didn't invite us! My gosh child!" He said looking at the clock on the wall. "Do you realize what time it is?"
Abby laughed, "Um, seven a.m.?"
"I should be sleeping!" he said. Everyone laughed, the guys went back to bed, and Lily, Abby, and Arabella went downstairs to magic up a dress.
Ari put her arm around Lily, "Lily, I remember when I was still babysitting you and James!"
"Oh, come off it! You never babysat me!" Lily scorned.
"I know! It just sounded good!" The girls laughed. Finally around nine, when the boys finally decided that coming downstairs was necessary, the dress was finished. It was a pale green, flowing through the hands like water. The dress sparkled and shimmered with every movement. They called the justice of the peace and set up an time to get married.
Lily got off the telephone, "Alright everyone, three o'clock! And boys, no pranks on my wedding day! Okay?"
Sirius glanced up from his Cocoa Puffs, "Sure, Lil, we promise! But don't think you aren't safe tomorrow, or the next day, or the next day, or the next."
"Or the next, or the next, or the next," Remus chimed in.
Ari gave them the evil eye, "You boys, are so childish sometimes! Argh!" Lily and Abby laughed while the boys glanced at each other.
"Right, well, any ways, James, what are you wearing to you're wedding?" Sirius asked his friend. James shrugged.
"Oh no! You're kidding right?" Remus asked shaking his head.
"No, have you ever known me to wear anything except a t-shirt and pants?" James asked, looking down at his pathetic looking, though strangely hot, cut-off shorts and black t-shirt with the British flag across it. "Maybe I need some help?"
Peter glanced James over, "Um, not maybe, definitely!" And they finished their breakfast and left to go get a tux. (a/n: okay, I am trying to get the wedding over quickly so I can get to the juicy stuff, so bear with me.)
***
James stood shaking in front of the Justice of the Peace, waiting for Lily to arrive. His best friends stood to one side, while Abby, Ari, and Mina walked forward carrying bouquets. In a small row of chairs sat Dumbledore and several other people, with smiles across their faces. The building was protected beyond belief and no one could get in.
Finally it was time for Lily to come forward. When he saw her, James gasped, she was gorgeous. Her hair was done up in a bun, a few girls loose here and there, hanging down to her shoulders. Hanging from her ears were two tear-drop emeralds. Her ¾ length sleeves opened wide, coming down to her knees. In her arms she carried a bouquet of lilies (naturally!) Her train was carried by two small pixies that dropped it as soon as she reached James and disappeared.
Lily gave James a kiss and continued on with the ceremony. When time came from the vows, James took out a tiny piece of paper.
James began to read off the piece of paper, "Lily, ever since I met you, I have known there was something different about you, even if at first it wasn't exactly a desirable different. But they say the best relationships start out rocky. I finally saw that I was blinded by the truth. I guess what I am saying is you are everything that I ever wanted. You are kind, gentle, forgiving, and beautiful, and I will always be there for you." A silent tear fell down her cheek. She mouthed back, I love you!, while he slipped the golden band on her finger.
She rubbed her eyes before beginning, "James, I guess, I thought that you were rude and obnoxious. You were always playing pranks on me and my friends," she glanced to Mina, Ari, and Abby over beside her with a smile on her face. "I knew that there was something at the bottom of my soul, something twanging at something deep down inside me. This feeling was something that I have never felt before. It was love James. You are my first love, and you will be my only." She grabbed his hand and placed the ring on his finger.
The Justice of the Peace smiled, "With the power vested in me, I now pronounce you Husband and Wife. You may kiss the bride!" James and Lily fell easily into a kiss, their eyes closed as if in a dream. They heard either Remus or Sirius 'Whoop!' but they didn't bother to look up. Mina, Ari, and Abby sighed at the romantic sight. Lily, turned around and threw her bouquet of lilies which Mina so artfully caught, before running hand-in- hand down the steps of the building.
***
"Honey, it's gorgeous!" she said looking on as the ocean waves crashed on the shore. James held in his hands a letter from Dumbledore. "What is it?"
"A note from Dumbledore," he replied. "It says if we have need, the soap dish in the bathroom is a portkey!"
"Honey, that is all very good, but Death Eaters aren't attacking our cute little house right now and the ocean sure is lovely. But, I don't want to see the ocean; I want to see the bedroom!" Lily smiled a large seductive smile and James, gleefully, followed her back from the veranda into the bedroom.
***
James and Lily lay asleep on the bed, entwined in each others arms. The comforter lay forgotten on the floor as the hot tropical heat bore down on the pair. A crash was heard and the whole bungalow shook. James shot up and looked quickly around.
Lily arose groggily from her deep slumber, "Darlin' what's going on?"
"I don't know!" he yelled, getting up from the bed going over to the French doors. "Oh, no! How did they find us here?"
Lily got up from the bed as well, "Who? What is it James!" Suddenly she saw what was coming toward them. Forty or so Death Eaters were closing in on the bungalow. "James, we have to get out!"
"I know, let me think! We have to apparate out of here!" They held hands and ran to the center of the room, shouting the words needed to apparate. But they didn't budge.
"Why isn't it working James? It can't end now! Not yet!" Lily yelled. All around the house there were the bangs of more arriving.
James grabbed his new wife and looked into her eyes, "This is not the end! I promise! Now please, think! Oh-my-gosh! The portkey! The portkey! Now lets go!" He grabbed her hand and pulled Lily into the bathroom.
Okay, more coming, I think that there will only be around, two or three more chapters, but the sequel is already under way! Love to all my reviewers! Lilolu :P
