Sirius was browsing through Diagon Alley, first he had gone to Flourish and Blotts to find the ingredients needed for the spell. They were hard to find; as some of them were a lizard's spleen, a Hippogriff's dried dung; a knurt (a kind of a pixie dust), a coyote's tail; and something called a pretzel that our dear Sirius had never heard of! The poor baby hunnymonkey! (a/n: my word!)
The shopkeepers were of little use; most of them had never even heard of the Magnetum Trialange as it was a really rare spell and hardly ever heard of these days! Maybe it was illegal nowadays!
Finally after searching around every Alley known to the wizarding world he had a medium bag filled with exactly what he needed; including orange and pink scarves and fluffballs; a hair from his head, and now all he needed was a hair form Caroline's and James's head.
Then it would be okay. Then he would know. And he would sleep again. Sirius hadn't slept in weeks…the thought of him being a father was excruciatingly agonizing to him.

Lily and Sven had just ordered and done most everything! Just THREE MORE WEEKS! Wow! They were so excited! The dresses had been bought; the cake picked out; the park rented for a warm evening; and the menu planned. All they needed was for time to move on top-notch speed!
It always moved slower when you needed it to move faster! WHY?!
The invitations were aqua blue shaped cards with a beautiful inside:
Come to see us unite
On the wings of a dove
To be together forever
In front of those we loveWe want you to share
Our special time today
Come to our wedding
To see us commit our love
October 30th at 4 pm
Reception immediately following in
Our favorite park!
It was all ready; and so were they.

It was ready; Sirius sent Caroline an owl. He had gotten everything ready and he would meet Caroline and James at the graveyard at midnight that night.
Caroline opened jar of yogurt looked at it; set it down; and opened up a package of doughnuts.
'Much more satisfying,' she thought glancing at the unfulfilling yogurt. Blueberries; ecch!
She looked 20 weeks pregnant and was only 13 weeks along. Both Sirius and James, whoever was the father, were big men, both at least 6 feet tall and very muscular.
That evening when James got home Caroline said she was taking him somewhere much later that evening.
James, being a male, thought it was a surprise. Well, yes, it would be very much a surprise for him where he was going and why; he would have never thought of it as that!

Midnight
Caroline signaled to James who walked into the graveyard with her. Sirius was already there with a tiny cauldron boiling and steaming a purplish orange, and maybe some mauve in there too.
Caroline didn't want to throw up anymore; when it wasn't by choice, so she hoped she wouldn't have to eat that mush!
"What are we doing, love?" James asked Caroline nonchalantly.
"Nothing, nothing," Caroline asked while opening another packet of doughnuts.
"Caro, wouldn't yogurt be better?" James asked, concerned with her eating.
"Nope. This is EXACTLY what I want now! Yogurt sucks!" Caroline replied with a few already in her mouth.
"Whatever the pregnant lady says, goes," James giggled.
"Yup!" Caroline grinned as the both of them reached the headstone where Sirius was.
"What are we—Sirius? Why are you here?" James concerned aloud.
"I wish I didn't have to be here," Sirius mumbled.
"I confess James. We are doing a spell for you! A spell where—where you get to see your next life! YEAH!" Caroline feigned.
"Right, sorry the surprise is up, old buddy. Here it is!" Sirius said, "So sit here in a triangle with me and Caro, around the cauldron." Sirius lied more.
James was beginning to catch on. This wasn't how a Next-Life spell had worked at all. But he would play along, he decided, to see what was really going on.
While James was reading a headstone, waiting for the cauldron to be ready, Sirius led Caroline away a few feet:
"We have to get him to give a hair and I need one of your's too. Put it in the cauldron. Then all systems go." Sirius glanced around nervously.
"Right," she answered.
"If it turns red, it's mine—the lover's child. If it turns black its James—the mate's child. And if it turns green we have to start over," Sirius said glancing at a thick dragon-hide bound book.
"Okay," Caroline said, eating another doughnut. Boy, did she love the woman names Hostess, she was a bloody genius!
They all sat in the right position, with Caroline at the head of the triangle facing north and the men at the bottom of the triangle.
The hairs were in and the cauldron was a bubbling white.
Sirius began to say a spell over all three of them and white sparks flew out and landed on them
But James was catching on; he had studied this potion once in his last year at Hogwarts. He faintly remembered something of it involving children…nothing else came to mind.
Then it happened. It was over in a second; nobody really knew what happened. A flash of white light over the cauldron and then it bubbled over.
All three of them leaned over to see what color it was.
