Marry Me, Damn It! 4

James walked slowly back to Gryffindor tower, deeply in thought. He had thought of everything to make his proposition as romantic as possible except for...

'Yes, that's it!' James thought with a smile. 'I don't know how I didn't see it before. It's so blatantly obvious!'

James skipped more than walked to the common room, a big smile plastered on his face. He said the password and jumped into the room. His was immediately bombarded by his two best friends who were apologizing.

"James! I'm so sorry; I really didn't mean to screw everything up!" Sirius said from his knees.

"This is all my fault James, the distraction was too real. Please forgive me," Remus asked.

"You don't hate us do you?" Sirius asked, putting his best puppy dog face on. James laughed and put an arm around each of his friends' shoulders.

"Moony, it wasn't your fault. Padfoot, I could never hate you. Don't worry guys, I got it all planned out," James released the two boys by the door to his room. They eagerly waited for details. "What, you think I'm going to reveal my master plan now? It's too late and I'm tired. You will see it tomorrow, I promise."

The newly engaged couple joined hands and sulked away. James laughed at their childish behavior and went to join his own significant other. He saw her splayed out on the bed, asleep.

James undressed and crawled into bed. Before he shut the light, he kissed Lily on the cheek and snuggled up to her.

The next morning James woke up alone. Beside him, there was a note from Lily. It read:

Dear James,
I don't understand how it could happen, but you are even more stubborn when you are sleeping! I tried waking you up numerous times, to no avail. You kept saying "five more minutes." I waited those five more minutes but you never woke up. Anyway, I really did not want to leave you to wake up alone, but breakfast was almost over.
If I'm correct, it should be around noon now, and lunch is being served. See you there!
Love always and forever,
Lily

James read the note over again and laughed. Sure enough, it was noon and lunch was being served. James thought about lying in bed for a little bit longer, and then remembered what he was supposed to do today.

He showered and got dressed, then reached in his special hiding spot and grabbed the ring. Fixing his shirt collar, he walked out of his room only to meet his best friend and fellow marauder Sirius Black.

Sirius's hair was a mess and he looked like he was still half asleep.

"Good afternoon my dear Padfoot," James said. "Shall we go down to the Great Hall and join our fellow gentlemen and ladies?"

Sirius looked at James as they walked. "You are so weird sometimes." James smiled.

"So, you look um...refreshed," James laughed. Sirius glared at him.

"Yea, well you would be too if you woke up alone." James raised his eyebrows. "As a matter of fact, I did. Well, I woke up with a note from Lily."

He handed it to Sirius who read it. "She's really creepy sometimes." He handed it back. "You wanna see what Remus left me?"

James looked at him suspiciously. "Do I?" Sirius pulled a red piece of tattered paper out of his pocket. "Is that a..."

"Howler? Yep. Only Remus modified it so that it would scream every five minutes until I woke up," Sirius explained. "Kind of like an alarm."

James laughed and the boys walked the rest of the way to the Great Hall in silence. They arrived to see their fiancé and girlfriend talking together in hushed tones. Sirius and James looked at each other slyly before running up behind Remus and Lily and tickling them.

James looked over and saw that somehow, Sirius's plan had backfired and he was the one getting tickled. He turned back to Lily, and went to give her a kiss on the cheek. She turned her head so he missed.

"Lil?" he asked. She still ignored him. "I'm sorry Lil."

James attempted to spin her around to face him, but she held herself where she was and turned to Remus who had let Sirius go.

"So anyway Remus," She went on. James looked questioningly at Sirius, who shrugged his shoulders and shoved food in his mouth. James started pushing his food around on his plate, trying to think up a way of getting Lily to talk to him.

Remus looked over at Sirius in the middle of a sentence and smacked the boy's hand away from his mouth, where he was trying to shove more food in his already full mouth. He then turned to Lily, who was admiring the ring Sirius gave him.

"Lily. Will you-"

"Aw, Remus it's so pretty. You are so lucky!" Lily exclaimed.

"Lily! Will you mar-"

"Yea, I know," Remus told Lily, while gazing adoringly at Sirius.

"Lily!" James screamed.

"What James?!" she asked meanly.

"Will you...? Um, will you? Well, I mean I really..." Lily sighed.

"Will you just spit it out?" She asked.

"No, now I don't think I'm gonna say it."

"Then don't!" Lily yelled before storming out of the hall in tears. James looked at his best friends.

"Did I say something?"

"I don't think so," Sirius shrugged.

Remus looked at him in annoyance before saying, "No, you didn't. You were just an inconsiderate jerk. Now go apologize."

James walked out of the Great Hall contemplating what he did. After going over the conversation in his head a few times, he couldn't see it. (a/n: boys are sooo dense!)

He walked over to his room and noticed the door was open. He looked inside and didn't see Lily. Her dresser was open though.

That's when he noticed the clothes. A trail of Lily's clothes were leading to the girls' dormitories. He followed them up to a closed door.

James walked up the stairs and put his ear to the door. He could hear Lily sobbing inside. He knocked on the door.

"Lily? I'm sorry baby, please just-"

"Go away! You are an ass Potter."

"Lily, I didn't do anything! Can you at least tell me what I did?"

"Are you that nieve?"

"Marry me, damn it!"

Lily stopped screaming and ran over to the door. "What?"

James got down on one knee and pulled out a little black box. He opened it and looked up at Lily, taking her hand in the process.

"Marry me damn you!" Lily shrieked with joy and threw her arms around James.

"Yes I will you inconsiderate bastard!" James smiled and pulled Lily to her knees for a kiss.

A/N: I'm done with this part! There will be a sequel, Before the Wedding, consisting of the the bachelor and bachelorette parties and more if I get enough reviews!

Now for those of you who are wondering how James was able to go up the steps...lets say that after the marauders graduated Dumbledore had the spell put on to not allow boys into the girls' dorms. For all of you who are really confused now, I am terribly sorry and just ignore these ramblings.

Love, Green Eyed Dragon
