Big Question's and Big Decision's
"Do you think we should go anywhere, or do something?" Lily asked James.
James looked up at her trying to think quickly what she was talking about, wondering if he had missed something important; but he couldn't remember anything.
"Its almost one year James, we should do something." Lily said getting annoyed that he wouldn't answer her. "Maybe we should just go out for a meal or something."
"That'll be great; we can't really go anyway can we not at the moment anyway." James said smiling at her and breathing deeply now that he knew what they were talking about.
"So which one then?" Lily asked him.
"I'm not sure, I'll have a look around." James told her. "And I'll see if Sirius and Nissa know any good ones."
"You know, you would have thought after all this time that they would have thought about it." Lily said.
"About what?" James asked.
"Them two getting married, they love one another." Lily answered. "They've near enough been together since the first day we meant; so that's nearly nine ten years."
"Wow, I never really thought about it like that; I wonder if he even realised." James said thoughtfully.
Later that day when James meant up with Sirius for lunch in the Leaky Caldron, he started to think about what he and Lily had been talking about that morning.
"So Padfoot, one year nearly." James said smiling at his best friend. "Though that's nothing on you and Nissa."
"What?" Sirius said a little taken back to the change in subject.
"You and Nissa, you've been together well on and off since forever." James told him. "Ever thought about really getting married; I know its come up, but really doing it?"
"Well I guess I've thought about it, especially when you guys got married; I just don't know really." Sirius said, he took a sip of his drink. "Well we've kind of talked about it and all. You know living together, for real and maybe having a family one day. I don't think she was to keen on the family part though; though that might have something to do with saying we'll have a dozen kids."
"I think that would put anyone off." James said smiling. "Maybe you should really think about it, is she the one?"
Sirius thought about nothing else all day and all week, but he never talked to Nissa about it; only to James, Remus and Peter. They all went around to his house Friday night before they would have to go out on portal.
"So still thinking about it, well maybe she isn't the one if you have to think this much about it." James said as he took a swig of his beer.
"It isn't that, its well; would she say yes if I asked?" Sirius asked. "You know what she's like, she's always pushing me away; it took her ages to let me and take me as her mate."
"But she did take you, so really by all said a done you are kind of married already; well by werewolf terms at less." Remus told him.
Peter just sat there listening to everything which was said, not drinking his beer because he couldn't take it like the others could.
"Well yeah there's that." Sirius said. "I just don't know, would she want to send the rest of her life with me?"
"Who wouldn't?" James told him smiling.

Sirius wasn't looking where he was going as he wondered through the flat, Nissa stopped in front of him; he tried to step round her but she stepped in his way and smiled. He looked up at her and smiled back.
"Something on your mind?" Nissa asked him. "Your been wondering around like this now for a couple of weeks, what's up?"
"Where do you see us going?" Sirius asked her.
"No where at this rate, if I can't find my new coat." Nissa answered him smiling.
"That's not what I meant." Sirius told her grabbed hold of her and pushing her back into the living room and sitting her down on he sofa. "I mean us?"
Nissa smiled at him. "Well what do you see; as long as it isn't a dozen kids?"
Sirius smiled at her. "Well, we don't need to have that many; but a couple."
Nissa was still smiling at him. "Well, why don't we see how we go about living together before we decide? I put this down payment on this lovely house, this place is just two small."
"You mean a house together?" Sirius asked her." That's quit big."
"So is what you're asking." Nissa said. "But if you don't want too."
He hugged her and kissed her fall on top of her; he led up and smiled at her.
"When do we move in?" Sirius asked her smiling.
Nissa kissed him. "I'll go into Gringrots tomorrow and see how much I've got."
"I'll come with you, you've already paid so much and if we're living together then I better put something to as well." Sirius told her.
Next day they both went to Diagon Ally to Gringrots, to pay for the house; they were both quit surprised at how much money they had. They didn't need to pay for it all at once but in instalments, which suited them both. Then they went round to the house to have a look around, Sirius claiming already which was going to be the kid's room and their room. And telling her everything which they could do, he was quit a big kid himself so excited with them moving in together and finally going to be a real couple.
They went round to Godric Hollow the night after telling them that they wanted everyone together because they had some exciting news to tell them. They all sat round the table waiting for Sirius to tell them that they were getting married, even though none of them had spotted a ring on her hand; well part from her normal ones.
They had sat all the way through the meal without hearing their news, and now Lily was severing desert; James was getting quit impatient which was different because it was normally Sirius.
"So you said that you had some news you wanted to tell us?" James asked trying to sound off handed.
"Yeah we have." Sirius said smiling. "Well, this week we decided that it was time..."
"Oh congratulations." Lily said smiling unable to resist.
Nissa smiled at her. "I think you've got a little ahead of us. We talked, and decided that we should at less together before anything else."
"We brought a house, its great; you'll have to come round." Sirius said excitedly.
The other's looked quit disappointed at this news they thought that he had finally popped the question, Lily stayed in the kitchen with Nissa while they went through to the living to talk.
"You can keep the flat Remus, or you can have Nissa's its up to you." Sirius told him.
Remus looked a little taken back. "You can't do that, I'll pay you for it then its far."
Sirius smiled at him. "Fine if you won't take it, then you can continue to pay like you are now; that's fair."
Remus thought about this and then agreed finally.
"So what happened about asking her?" James asked him.
"I still want to ask her, but I think this will be best to start with." Sirius told him. "We've never really lived together, yes kind of but it's always been about going back from flat to flat; this way we'll know what its like for real. And then I'll ask her."
"It seems at this rate I'll be dead before you ask her." James teased.
"Don't say that, I need to get you back for your stag night; don't we Remus?" Sirius said smiling, they all laughed.
Over the following weeks, Sirius and Nissa moved into their new house; and decorated. Which of course she had to keep a close eye on him the whole time, she wanted it all just right of course.
"Do you think we should go anywhere, or do something?" Lily asked James.
