About a week after Lily was let out of the hospital, she was shopping on Diagon Alley, when she walked into a woman with very curly, brown hair.  "Oh I'm so sorry, here let me help you pick up your stuff." Apologized Lily. 

            The other woman hadn't moved.  Her eyes were big and round.  "Lily?" she asked.

            "Oh my god! Raven Dumbledore! How long has it been???"

            "Let's see, five, maybe six years.  How have you been?"

            "I've been better."

            "What happened?"

            "Long story short-was pregnant, miscarried, and tried to take my own life.  You?"

            "Compared to that, I've been doing fine."

            "Listen, on Friday, I'm having a bunch of our old friends over.  You should come.  Here's my address.  179 High Street, Hogsmeade.  Come over about seven.  Bring your appetite and your pjs.  It was great seeing you again.  Let me know if you can come.  Toodles." 

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~AT DINNER*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

            "James, you'll never guess who I bumped into, literally today in Diagon Alley."

            "Who?"

            "Raven."

            "Dumbledore?"

            "Yes."

            "How is she?  We haven't seen her since third year."

            "She's the same old Raven.  By the way, she's coming on Friday."

            "Good.  Speaking of Friday, I have a surprise for you too."

            "Oooh what?"

            "If I tell you, it wont be a surprise.  Right?"

            "I suppose so."

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*FRIDAY NIGHT*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

The first to arrive were obviously Lilac and Sirius.  They sat down on the couch, and started making out.  While Lilac and Sirius were making out, Lily and James were talking.   Lily wanted them to stop, while James found it would be the perfect time for them to do the same thing.  James kissed her, and (as we know) started making out, Lily sitting on James' lap. 

At that point their old school friend Raven walked in.  Raven looked around for Lily and felt her eyes start popping.  'Was that Lily Evans making out with arrogant James Potter???' 

When Lily and James noticed one of their guests had arrived, they looked up, and Raven was amazed that Lily was sitting on James' lap.  She started hyperventilating and saying "Oh my fish, oh my fish.  I cannot believe this!  Lils, you got together with Arrogant, egotistical James Potter?"  Lily went over and gave her friend a hug, and showed her the wedding ring. 

"So you're Lily Potter now then, right?"

"Yes.  Jamie dear deflated his ego, and stopped hexing poor old Snapeykins." 

"What happened with Snapey anyway?"  Raven wanted to know.

"Well, in fourth year, he started to become a little over protective.  I told him to stop being possessive, and he just couldn't change, so long story short I broke up with him.  I think I'm the reason he and Jamesy hate each other so much." 

Slowly the rest of the guests started to arrive.  After reminiscing about Hogwarts, over dinner (prepared by Lily) they went into the parlor. 

Lily was painting Lilac's nails, when she noticed a gold diamond ring on her best friend's finger.  "Is that a wedding ring Li?"

"Um…no?"

"It is." Stated Raven.

 "You got married without me?!?!?!?" asked Lily.

"Oops.  I mean yes." Said Lilac.

"That's it!  I am now officially your wedding planner.  You are having a big fancy wedding.  Now how does the date July 4th sound to you?"

"Umm…"

"Good."

"Speaking of the future…" Raven started.  "What are your plans?"

"Maria and I want a little sibling for Lupita, and Levana.  We just don't know if we'll be as lucky as last time." (A/N Lupita and Levana are Remus and Maria's twin daughters, (they were married while still in Hogwarts.) and by lucky he means about a werewolf's children.  In my other story the one in a chat room.) 

"I think I speak for both me and Lilac by saying that we hope Lily will forgive us for getting married without her, and that she wont take her anger out by ruining the wedding she has decided to plan for us."  Said Sirius.

"I don't know about you guys but I want to hide from You-Know-Who."  Said Peter, while shaking out of fear.

"Peter, fear of a name only increases the fear of the thing itself.  You should call him by his real name; Voldemort." Said James.

Lily went and sat back in her husband's lap.  She then said "I don't know about James, but I know I want to be able to carry a child full term.  I wont care if it's a boy or a girl; just as long as its healthy."

"You know that's what I want to, Lils." Added James.  He then kissed her head.  

"I want Landon and me to have a baby." Said Genevieve.  (A/N Landon is Gen.'s husband.  They've been married for about a year now.)

"Gabriella, what about you?" asked Raven.

"I just want to find love." She responded.

            "Raven, you've been the quietest of us all, what about you?" asked Lily.

            "I want to get a job at the Daily Prophet. And then I want to go see my uncle. (A/N Dumbledore.)  That's it for now." 

Thanks Guys!!!!!!!!!!!  That's the end of the chapter.  Don't worry there's the next chapter here too.  It's kinda short, so I'll post it here.

            Needless to say, Lily followed through on her promise of being a wedding planer.  Together with Lilac, she picked out the colors, Lilac's wedding dress, and many other things. 

            While planning, Lily was drawing up a guest list.  She was confirming with Lilac and Sirius. 

            "Sirius, I'm going to need to get your mothers address."  Lily said.

            "What for?" asked Sirius brutally.

            "To invite her, of course!"

            "Why would you want to invite her?"

            "Well, Siri, she is your mother.  She did bring you into this world." Said Lilac.

            "I don't want my mother at our wedding.  Our wedding is supposed to be the happiest day of our lives.  I don't want my mother ruining it."

            "She cant be that horrible, I mean she raised you, and look how you turned out." Said Lily.

            "Listen, Lils my mother never saw the irony in calling me a son-of-a-bitch.  She would insult everyone that would come.  My mother is someone who I'm not proud of being related to.  Heck, most of my family for that matter.  I'm the black sheep of the Black family.  I was disowned at 16.  The only family of mine that I want invited is Andromeda, Ted, and Nymphadora Tonks.  Ann was disowned when she married a muggle; Ted."

            "But Siri,-"

            "I'm sorry Li, but I don't want my mother at our wedding."  There was note that basically said that there was to be no more discussion on this.

On July fourth, Lilac and Sirius were joined again in holy matrimony.  Needless to say, Mrs. Black (Sirius' mother) wasn't invited. 

"We are gathered here today in the sight of God, to join this man, and this woman in holy matrimony.   They have each written their own vows.  Lilac."

"Sirius, since the first time we met, in the boat on our way across the lake, I knew there was something special about you.  Then when we got into a fight three months ago, I thought it was over between us.  Now standing with you in front of our friends and loved ones, I feel like I am finally complete.  After years of not realizing how incomplete I was.  I love you Sirius more than words can say."

"Lilac, when I first met you, I thought you were the most beautiful creature that had ever graced this earth by walking on it.  Once you were sorted into Ravenclaw, and I into Gryffindor, my hopes of us together plummeted.  I soon saw the separation of houses didn't make much of a difference.  When, three months ago, fought, I too thought we were history.  Now standing here, I know we'll make history."

"Do you Lilac Rose, take Sirius Black to be your lawfully wedded husband till death do you part?" asked the priest.

"I do." Said Lilac, with utmost certainty in her voice. 

"And do you, Sirius Black, take Lilac Rose to be your lawfully wedded wife?  Till death do you part?"

"I do." With a conviction that none who bore witness to this had ever heard Sirius use before. 

"I now pronounce you man and wife, again.  You may kiss the bride."

Sirius lifted the veil away from Lilac's face and kissed her.
