Chapter 6

It wasn't long before James asked Lily to marry him. They went out on ordinary date, just to be like a normal couple.

But that only lasted for two weeks and at the end James proposed to her. They were at the park walking towards Lily's mother's house when he did.

'I know this isn't the most romantic proposal in the world. But I am asking you to marry me Lily and "no" is the one word I won't take for answer. You could say that you'll at least think about it/ I swear I'll nag you and annoy you till you tell me yes—.'

'Yes.'

'Yes? Yes what? Yes you'll think about it?'

'No.'

'So you won't think about it?'

'No James I won't think about it because I'll marry you.'

James laughed and looked down into her emerald eyes. He picked her up and swung her around before kissing her fully on her lips.

It was discussed immediately that they were going to be married at once. It was already nearly mid January so two weeks gave them plenty time to arrange a wedding with just the immediate friends and family.

When they arrived at her mother's house, they told the older woman the news. She was happy for them that they were back together and really ecstatic that they were going to get married.

None of their friends could be happier for them.

Sirius had grinned and exclaimed that it was about time but Remus although congratulated them remain remote and distant. It was strange but James dismissed it. Remus was happy for him.

Peter even went out of his way to give them a congratulatory gift of flowers.

Simone was practically bragging that it was she who got them back together gain. Telling all who would listen that she arranged for James to come to Lily's parents anniversary and...

Gabby and Morgan knew the story like the back of their hands but still listened to the ending.

But within the next week Gabby no longer came over with Remus. At first he didn't answer the questioning looks but then decided to let them all know that he was no longer seeing her.

Although Morgan knew about the break up she didn't know why they did. She hadn't told anyone about what Gabby had come crying to her about four days before. She still remained friends with her although it was hard not to judge Remus because her friend was heart broken.

'I know you guys haven't seen Gabby for a while and there is a reason for that. We broke it off. Well I broke it off with her because it wasn't going to work out.'

He had said one evening before leaving James's house.

All of the friends were over every evening to help set it up for Lily to move in. Simone and Jessie hardly got the chance to come over so it was only Sirius, Morgan, Peter, James and Lily who heard what Remus had said.

It was so unlike him and James wasn't at all sure what had come over his friend.

Of course being in the order kept them all busy. Simone bowed out of being in the order and was charmed with a secret charm so she could say anything about it to anyone.

She was regretful at first but knew it was the best thing for her. She was marrying in a month and she didn't want unnecessary harm to come to her new family. She would still chat with her friends and what not but she would not actively take part in anything when too much of the order was anywhere around.

Jess hadn't been around much. She was seriously dating Edgar Bones and newly positioned auror. They were really moving along really fast only having known each other for three weeks. Jessie met him at the Order meeting late December.

....

'I got fired mates.' Remus said and James was stunned by his friend's announcement.

The four of them, them meaning Sirius, Remus, Peter and himself were seated in an Irish Pub on the outskirts of the city of London.

'What?'

'Yeah, they fired me. I mean they had only hired me as a librarian on a temporary basis but they found out that I was a werewolf and they let me go. According to them I "don't fit the requirements for the job" not I'm a werewolf so I can't continue the job.'

'Of course they wouldn't make a stupid mistake like that. They would be in a lot of trouble with the Ministry if the Half Breeds Protection Act found out that it was that they fired you for.' Sirius muttered darkly.

'Yeah well I half and half of two thing aren't I? Half wizard—half muggle. Then I'm half animal half human.'

'You must be angry as hell mate!' Peter remarked.

'Yeah I am. On top of that I can't seem to get a job anywhere else.'

'Remus I knew where there is a job open that doesn't care what kind of blood you have but it's not a very good one.'

'I'm always open to anything James.'

'There is a caretaker's position open next door to the Daily Prophet. It's an exterminator store. It sells different potions and has spells you can use to exterminate or get rid of pests.' James said slowly not to sure if his friend would really want to do a job so beneath what he could do.'

Remus saw the look on James face and gave and unconscious shrug.

'Look James I know what your thinking and well I guess I have to work if I need galleons and well I know I can do much better things with my skills but I can't find any so this is as good as it gets for now. Thanks anyway for the concern mate.' Remus said and he put his hand on James's shoulder.

'Sorry Moony, I guess I know that this entire thing is wrong.'

'You know what Remus, you should just make the best of whatever you get. Maybe sometime soon, somebody will change the law, I mean the Ministry can't all be full of weak-hinged, rug-headed twits.' Sirius said and the men laughed.

'Yeah I know, that's what I plan to do. It can't hurt can it?'

Though two days later James wondered if he should have suggested the job to Remus. He did not like his friend working there, but it paid well.

Which was Remus defence for accepting the job. What else was he supposed to pay his bills with?

But as the days rolled by James wondered what was going through Remus's mind. He hardly ever pain attention to anything they were saying and he was getting married in two days.

Between the wedding preparations, work and his friend James was slightly tired but just meeting Lily everyday for dinner and knowing that he was going to wake up next to her for the rest of his life kept him going.

Then the day was finally there.

Lily got up that morning and knew that she was going to marry the best man that there was for her on the planet.

Simone was her maid of honour—she was getting married in a month—and Jessi was her other bridesmaid.

There were only a few guests. Close friends and family mostly.

James's parents and their spouses were there. So were Lily's parents and Professor Dumbledore. There were a couple more people and of course there were the marauders. Sirius was best man, Remus a groomsman and Peter opted to stay out of the wedding entourage.

Lily looked at herself in the full-length mirror of her bridal chambers. The hairdresser that was hired was a special friend of Jessi's named Anna. Jessica Adams was bringing the dress from its final alteration.

When both of the women were down they stood back to look at their handiwork.

Lily looked radiant in her Low cut, spaghetti strap dress. The bodice was laced while the skirt opened in a canopy of chiffon.

On her neck was a simple pearl chocker, which was something old from her grandmother.

James's mother bought the pearls and that was new.

The borrowed and blue part of the wedding was the garter that she had on. She borrowed it from Simone and it was blue so they killed two hippogriffs with one spell.

James thought he had been ready but when he heard the first triumphant cords of the Mendelssohn begin, when he looked up the flower bedecked isle of baby's breath and gardenias and saw his bride start towards him on her father's arm his heart threatened to stop beating.

Lily. His Lily. She was so beautiful in her ivory lace gown. And the look on her face the way her eyes were fixed only on him...

'Just look at my Lily.' He said softly.

His three friends, standing along side him groaned softly.

'The man's a goner.' Whispered Sirius.

'A pushover' Remus murmured.

'Just a fool for a pretty face,' Peter added.

All for of them grinned at each other, and then James's grin faded and he looked at his bride and wondered what he had ever done in his life to be so bloody lucky.

Lily's friends, who were also standing under the flowered canopy of the altar, gave a communal sigh as the watched her come down the aisle.

'Isn't she lovely?' Simone whispered.

'Perfect,' Jessie said.

'Perfect,' Morgan echoed and the three women sighed again.

The wedding was muggle for the benefit of Lily's relatives and as Lily walked down the isle on the arm of her father she knew that she would never trade this moment for anything in the world as she looked towards her future in James's eyes.

'I Lillian Evans take thee James Potter as my loving husband, to love, to honour and to cherish, in sickness and in health for the rest of my life till death do us part. I will always and completely support you and protect you with all my heart and with this ring I thee wed.' Lily said mixing in some of the original vows with a few words of her own before slipping on the ring.

'I James Potter, take thee Lillian Evans as my wedded wife to love, to honour, to cherish, in sickness and in health for the rest of my life till death do us part. I will always and completely be a part of your world. I will never forsake you and will always with all my heart love you and with this ring I thee wed.' James said following suit as he said the words of the original vows first before adding some of his own.

Although the wedding was small the reception had two to three times the amount of people.

The Longbottoms were there—they were part of the order as well.

Lily's boss was there also and he was accompanied by Hannah Walker. They both had apparently started seeing each other now the rumours were confirmed.

At the toasting part of the reception the best man stood up and faced the crowd. He was grinning from ear to ear.

'I have known Lily and James since our stints at Hogworts and I must say that they have finally come in to the light and seen what I have always known that they belong together. But before I toast to their great life together I must say this, I call dibs on godfather. Cheers.'

The entire congregation laughed and toasted to the happy couple.
