They woke up that morning completely in love; everything that happened
before that night was simply history. They got up showered and dressed, not
taking their eyes off of each other for more that five seconds.
Remus came to retrieve some of his things and commented that they looked as if the were going to drown in each other. He got what he came for, his spare robes, and left soon after. They spent the day in each other's arms.
"Lily?" James asked as they listened to some of Lily's favorite songs, which James had affectionately named 'the Lily collection'
She smiled at him "Yes, love?" she said as she continued to dance slowly to a song.
'And I'll give my heart
Till the end of our time
Forever and a day
Till the stars fill my eyes
And we touch the last time
I will love you
Love you'
He stood up and took her in his arms then clumsily led her around the room. The record stopped playing but they kept dancing. The moon looked in on them, but even if the world collapsed around them, they wouldn't have noticed. A loud bang woke them up; James slipped into his robe.
"Stay here Lily" he said as he pulled out his wand and ran downstairs. James' voice screamed in agony, Lily pulled a robe on and ran to him as fast as she could. He was on the floor shaking softly; she began to run to him but someone tackled her to the side with a loud "Boo!"
She looked up to see a smiling Sirius. James laughed and Sirius kissed her on the cheek. She blushed and ran up to her room to get properly dress then came back down to find James and Sirius sitting on the couch, drinking coffee, and looking at the morning edition of the Daily Prophet. Lily went to the kitchen to make breakfast and called them in as soon as it was finished. They all ate, Sirius livening things up a bit when he decided it was too quiet by making tiny fireworks come out of his wand.
They spent that day laughing. Moony and Wormtail came by soon and surprised Lily with a bouquet of roses that had an everlasting charm on them; Peter chose the roses and Remus provided the everlasting charm. They all spent the night there on the floor in cushy sleeping bags.
The next day they decided to go to Diagon Alley after the mail had come. Lily picked up some new robes while James bought them a new screech owl named Taurus. They had lunch at The Leaky Cauldron and decided to return home when Lily caught sight of Severus; his head was on the table he was sitting at and he had several empty shot glasses in front of him. She walked up to him and gently stroked his cheek; he looked up at her through his teary eyes.
"Lily... I'm so sorry for every thing I put you through... for everything I did to you... please... come back home, I need you," he said standing up to face her.
"No, Severus," she whispered. She pulled out a letter she'd gotten that morning, from her shopping bag, "Will you please sign this?" she said laying it down for him and handing him a quill and some ink.
He read it suspiciously, "This is for our divorce..." She nodded, as she signed her name in one blank space and handed him the quill.
"Why Lily? I loved you... I still do," he sobbed. "If you loved me you would have been home with me instead of drinking!" she shouted angrily.
He mustered up his courage and signed his name. She packed away the ink, quill and piece of parchment and took James' arm then left The Leaky Cauldron and a sobbing Severus. They went home and sent off the letter confirming the death her and Severus' marriage and the invitations to her and James' wedding set for Halloween night at Hogwarts.
The months went on and finally it was the last night of September. Lily sat in her old room, which she no longer slept in; she now used it as a study or a place to go when James was being a prat. She sat on the bed looking at her wedding gown which was on a mannequin in the middle of the room; it was a white strapless, backless gown with strings holding it up in the back, it followed the curve of the mannequin doll perfectly, the veil was small and just made it to the doll's chin. The slip-on heels added a nice touch as did the gloves that fit only to its wrists and not full-length, up-past- it's-elbows, like most fancy gloves. She had her make-up sitting out and collecting dust, she had no use for it since James said she looked beautiful without it. The room was filled with everything needed for the wedding, not counting the tables, chairs, or guests.
Remus walked into her room, sat down beside her, and examined the gown, "It'll look beautiful on you... So will this," he stood up and pulled out a white gold necklace that held a single Ruby and put it on the mannequin. She gasped and hugged him, "Oh thank you Remus!"
"Now that's from me, Sirius, and Peter. So you need to thank them too," he chuckled.
Lily, James, Sirius, Remus, and Peter all sat outside on the roof a week before the wedding was set to take place; James had created a small blue fire that floated in the air. Lily had told them about S'mores and they decided to try them; after about 5 or 6 a piece they didn't want anymore. They just sat on the roof and gazed at the starry sky lazily.
Remus kept shooting nervous glances to the almost full moon as if it would attack him at any second. James knew why, but Lily didn't so he couldn't say anything. He thought back at the past month; it had been perfect, almost anyway. Snivellus kept sending mail to beg for Lily back, but it slowed to a stop; they hadn't gotten a letter in a week which was very good since at first it was seven owls a day. Lily spent every night with James; they barely left each others sight.
Lily, after about 15 minutes trying to find "the little dipper" started to think; she thought nervously at why she didn't fell normal. It was her suspicion that she was pregnant but didn't know for sure, but almost every night James reassured her that she will be pregnant, if she wasn't already, by spending hours in his sweaty embrace while moaning and what not. She smiled and thought to herself 'I'll find out soon enough...'
The week flew by too quickly for Lily's liking. She sat in an empty class room; she was now in her wedding gown and veil, her hair was pulled out of her face, curled, and dangling around her neck. Her hands shook slightly as she put on the necklace Remus, Sirius, and Peter had given her and painted her lips a deep scarlet, then fixed her veil. The clock behind her chimed to tell her it was time. She left the room and went outside to her dressing tent; she'd soon walk out to meet James and then marry him.
James heart was racing as he went into position in front of Dumbledore. "You're ready then, James?" he asked softly as not to startle him. James nodded nervously as Canon in D Minor began to play by bewitched instruments. Lily walked out of her dressing tent and slowly down the isle toward James; everyone's heads turned to see her but she took no notice of them. She felt like crying, screaming, and laughing all at the same time.
Her lightheadedness had passed as did the need to throw up, although that had nothing to do with getting married. Earlier that month she went to see Dumbledore to ask if he'd marry them, she got sick in his office and that was when Dumbledore had informed her she was definitely pregnant. She thought back at all of this as she stopped beside of James; he looked nervous but happy none the less. He still didn't know about the baby.
"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to bind this wizard and this witch in holy matrimony. They vow from this day forth to love, honor, and cherish one another. James do you take this witch, Lily, to be your wife?" he asked. James smiled, "I do."
"And Lily, do you take this wizard, James, to be your husband?" he asked her. Lily felt the burning gaze of everyone on her. She felt sick at the thought, "I do," she said in a sure voice.
"The rings please?" he said smiling.
Lily took her ring from her maid of honor, Alice Longbottom, and James from his best man, Sirius Black.
He slipped a white gold with two diamonds between one ruby ring on her finger and said, "With this ring, I thee wed."
Lily slipped his ring onto his finger, a simple white gold band, and said, "With this ring, I thee wed."
"I now pronounce you man and wife!" Dumbledore turned to James, "You may kiss your bride."
James slipped an arm around her waist and a hand on her cheek then kissed her passionately; she rested her hands on his chest as she returned the kiss. They smiled at each other as they pulled away and everyone clapped happily. Both of their hearts felt lighter than they had all of that day.
Remus came to retrieve some of his things and commented that they looked as if the were going to drown in each other. He got what he came for, his spare robes, and left soon after. They spent the day in each other's arms.
