Chapter 19 - Here come the waterworks

When the three got back to report what happened later that day, the gang all ready knew.

"D..Dumbledore put up posters." Wormtail imformed them.

The gang however did listen to james version and by the end Lily had started to cry.

"What the ?" James began and the others began to file away from the table, muttering something about fresh air.

"J..ames." Lily began still sobbing, "My..parents are moving to scotland and.." But that was all she could manage. She had wrapped her arms around James and continued to sob.

'She can't leave.' The voice in James's head said through the tears. 'You've finaly got her after 5 years of waiting, you can't let her leave now.'

"I..don't wanna go." She sobbed, "But I have no where else to stay."

James quickly scanned his pockets maybe he would have a tissue...

And there is was. At the very bottom of his right hand pocket.

The ring of Kaldeon.

And then in a burst of madness and of love he slowly moved down onto one knee and tears well in his eyes said.

"You don't have to leave." He said nearly crying. "You can stay with me, be part of the order."

And then he slowly raised his arm to hold up the ring.

"Lily Evans, will you marry me."

And at that Lily let out of choke in her sobbing. "Yes, James, Yes."

***

The news spead like mandrake skin rash. As Lupin returned to the table Lily told him before leaving. She then told Amy and Molly, who told Arthur just as Sirius and Wormtail were told by Lupin.

"This is brillant." Arthur said, "We can go flower shopping together." He said beeming. "But you can't have my best man." He said patting Lupinon the shoulder.

"That's okay," James muttered, and turned to smile at Sirius, "I think I can find a replacement."
