Chapter 23 Making Plans
******!!!!!!!!********!!!!!!!!!*********!!!!!!!!!*******!!!!!!!!******!!!!!! !*****
The next morning, or for the next week, Lily didn't bring up the whole Lana ordeal. She figured Lana had 'seen' something and didn't know what she was saying. The Potters' had taken the marriage news very well indeed. The Scruptings' reaction was the same. Lily could still hear Mrs. Scrupting talking about it.
" Oh Lily! I knew you and James would get together some day! Ever since you were in second year and you stayed with us! I just knew it!" she had said. Lily would smile every time she looked at her ring. She smiled when she thought of the wedding at all.
"Lily! Calling Lily back to Earth!" Arabella was calling. Lily came out of a trance to see Lana and Bella smiling at her.
"Lily I swear if you don't stop spacing out I'm going to arrange the wedding for tomorrow morning!" Lana said hitting her friend.
"Oh shush it you guys. You guys would be doing the same!" Lily told them. They just shook their heads.
"The day Sirius Black asks me to marry him will be the day Peter leaves the Marauders! Because you guys know Peter stays just for protection!" Lana said laughing.
"I don't know, the guys are friends with him." Lily said.
"I don't like him." Arabella said simply. Lana let out a laugh.
"You've only known him what, 9 months?" Lily asked her. Bella's cheeks went red.
"Same difference, that's long enough for em to make a judgement and I don't like him." She said now filing down her nails.
"Whatever." Lana laughed. Just then an owl swooped in with the Daily Prophet.
"Yes! I bet that have an ad for that new dress shop in Hogsmeade." Bella said hopping up and down. Lily laughed, but Lana wasn't smiling, or laughing. Her eyes were glued to the front page.
"Damn." She swore.
"What?" Lily asked trying to look at the picture. But her question was soon answered when Lana threw the paper on the floor and marched out. Lily picked it up. She read the article:
More Deaths and Torture
Lord Voldemort is to be feared. Seven deaths occurred last night outside of Hogsmeade. It seems as if the Dark Lord is even torturing Muggles for the
pure fun of it.
Lily stopped reading it right there. ' Oh my God,' she kept saying to herself. Bella had snatched the paper and was now reading it. She let out a gasp, and placed her hand over her mouth.
"Lily." Bella started putting the paper down. Lily was flipping through 'A Witch's Wedding Guide'.
"What?" She asked not looking up.
"Do you think.that Lana's seen this?" She asked speaking each word very slowly. Lily looked up.
"Yes, I do." Lily stated throwing the magazine aside.
"What's going to happen!?" Bella cried, tears running down her cheeks. They didn't notice Lana had re-entered the room.
"You don't want to know," Lana started coming to sit beside Lily. " I can't tell you what I've 'seen', just that the some of the darkest times are upon us." She said, tears running down her face.
"I'm so scared." Bella said now sobbing loudly.
"We all are." Lily whispered pulling her into a hug. The girls sat there in eachother's arms. Each thanking their stars that they had such good friends. ******!!!!!!!!!!!!!***********!!!!!!!!!!!************!!!!!!!!!!!**********!! !!!!!!****
Four months later and Lily still hadn't set a firm date.
"Lily! Just pick a date!" James said. He was lying on the couch at the Potters' mansion.
"I can't just pick a date! I have to put thought into it James!" Lily cried.
"Merlin Lils- it's been four months! Ok- what season do you want it in?" he asked nicely. Lily looked sad.
"I don't know!" She said in a fake pouting voice. She then thought of that time at the Scruptings' right before seventh year. " Wait!" she cried. She was beaming.
"What?" James asked biting into a cookie.
"It's going to be in late August." She said nodding her head.
"Why then?" James asked giving her a grin.
"Because that's when I realized it was you that I wanted." She said smirking just the same.
"Ok, late August.how about August.." James was looking at the ceiling.
"August 25." Lily said simply writing it down.
"Why the 25th?" He asked her.
"Sounds about right is all." Lily said through a giggle. James just smiled again.
"I can see that, ' Married August 25 Lily and James Potter'." He said nodding his head, then stopped. " What year?" he asked not meeting her eyes.
"Let's see, its December 18, 1978, so how about 1979?" she asked him. He nodded enthusiastically.
"That's great!" he said kissing her hand.
So the date was set. They had 8 months to plan the wedding. And they had no idea how much work it was going to be.
*******!!!!!!!!!!!*******************!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!**********!!!!!! !!!!!!!****
It was planned for Lana to be the maid of honor, and Sirius to be the best man. Remus, and Arabella would be the groomsman and bridesmaid. Peter was going to be the usher. The girls were at the dress shop picking out dresses and trying to figure out what Lily's other color would be.
"Go with navy!" Lana told her picking up a beautiful gown. Lily made a face.
"Nothing dark." She said looking at the gown, Bella made a face.
"How about lavender?" Bella asked her. Lily made another face.
"I don't know." Lana looked exasperated.
"Baby blue!" she cried holding up a gorgeous gown. Lily beamed.
"That would look great on both of you! Yes!" The girls smiled and picked two out in their sizes. They came out and looked wonderful, so that's what they decided on.
"What's next?" Lana asked picking up the ticket for the gowns.
"Um, I have dresses, invitations, I think that's it for now." Lily said smiling. " How about a drink at Three Broomsticks?" The girls beamed.
"Score!" Lana cried running ahead. **
The girls walked inside and ordered their drinks. The pub was full of Hogwarts' students. Lily overheard a small redheaded girl and a black haired girl talking. They must have been first or second years.
"Then daddy got me an enchanted doll for Christmas!" The red-haired girl said. The black-headed girl smiled.
"My mum got me and enchanted diary!" she said as she pulled something out. Lily hit Lana and nodded towards the two girls. Lana just smiled.
"Remind you of something?" Lily asked but Lana was laughing as four boys were shooting off fireworks.
"That sure does!" Lana said pointing to the boys and laughing. Lily beamed.
"Marauder wannabe's!" She said laughing. Bella understood and she too began laughing. The girls left the pub and went home. This wedding thing was more difficult than they thought it would be.
******!!!!!!!!!!!**********!!!!!!!!!!!!!*************!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!******* ***!!!!!**
"Dude James, are you nervous?" Sirius asked as they were getting ready to head to the Ministry.
"It's like 7 months away!" James said laughing.
"Well, still.are you nervous?" He asked smirking.
"Course not." James said trying to comb his hair.
"Heck I would be." Sirius said shaking his head.
"Speaking of." Remus said coming in the room.
"Are you going to ask Lana?" James pitched in. Sirius dropped his comb.
"I.I." he looked at them and smiled. " I was thinking about it." James smirked.
"You will." He said laughing. Sirius smirked. " Yea, probably." He said and left the room.
"All these plans!" James said sitting down. Remus smiled.
"But you love every minute of it." he said. James laughed.
"I know, I know."
