((A month has passed.))
Remus sighed contently as he rolled over in the sheets that were covering his body. He felt Sirius's arms tighten around his waist, preventing him from getting up.
"Mmm... Don't get up today..." Sirius murmured. "Just stay with me."
"James and Lily are going to want breakfast." Remus protested.
"James's woman can get him his own breakfast for once." Sirius grumbled.
"Sexist jerk." Remus laughed, rolling over and kissing his lover on the nose.
"Shut up woman." Sirius replied, grinning as he rolled on top of Remus.
Remus let out a small 'squee' as Sirius began to attack him kisses and gentle touches. Sirius brought his lips to Remus's neck and began to suck there.
"Sirius..." Remus moaned in pleasure.
"Yes woman?" Sirius asked, looking at Remus, his eyes dancing with mischief.
Remus shook his head, and suddenly cried out as Sirius grabbed the erection that he had acquired during their snogging session.
"Maybe you're not a woman after all..." Sirius giggled as he slid down Remus's body.
"Come on you two! Today is too nice of a day to stay in the bed!" Sirius and Remus were suddenly interrupted by the yells of their best friend.
Sirius sat up with a growl.
"Go away Potter! I'm busy!" Sirius replied.
"You two aren't allowed to shag all day today!" Lily answered.
"I don't follow rules." Sirius argued, winking at Remus who was also sitting up.
"We have to go shopping today to get clothes for Alice's and Frank's wedding." Lily continued.
"Send them Galleons and sex toys."
"SIRIUS BLACK!" Lily yelled in disgust.
"Sorry, sorry..." Sirius grumbled, as he pulled on a pair of pants. "We're coming."
*~~~~~~~~~~~~*
An hour later the group was standing in front of the most expensive robe stores in all of London.
"I hate this place." Sirius grumbled. "I can't believe you suggested this place James."
James shrugged as he opened one of the glass doors.
"I'm sorry, but we don't serve to children." one of the wizards at the door spoke, sniffing a bit as they walked in.
"I'm James Potter." James said brightly, as though it made up for it. "And this is Sirius Black."
"Oh." the wizard replied, looking clearly surprised. "Please come in, and tell me if there is anything I can do to help."
James nodded, and took Lily by the arm into the store.
"What was that all about?" Remus whispered, as Sirius and him followed Lily and James.
"This shop is run by an old wizarding family. If you're not a pureblood, they don't let you in." Sirius replied, looking disgusted.
"Oh..." Remus whispered, looking sad.
"Don't worry." Sirius said, taking his hand. "You're better then these fools any day."
"But are you sure you're safe?" Remus questioned, biting his bottom lip.
He was still constantly worried that the Black family might try to kill Sirius.
"Don't worry. No one is going to attack me in broad daylight. I hope." Sirius said with a wink.
Remus smiled sadly and put his head on Sirius's shoulder, as they began to browse the robes.
An hour later, Sirius, James and Remus were all sitting outside the dressing room, looking bored, their new robes sprawled across their laps.(Black for Sirius, dark green for James, and light blue for Remus.)
"How long is that chick gonna take?" Sirius quested, stifling a yawn, as they waited for Lily.
Suddenly she came out.
All three of the boy's mouths dropped.
Lily was wearing dark midnight blue dress robes with silver moons and stars sprawled across the bottom half. The material fit her like a second skin.
Sirius whistled, as James stood, admiring her.
"Do you like it?" Lily giggled, twirling.
"You look... beautiful." James replied softly touching her face.
Lily smiled at him happily.
"Come on Remy, let's leave these love birds alone." Sirius teased, pulling Remus to his feet.
Remus and Sirius stood outside the shop for a few moments, while James and Lily paid for her robes.
"So what do you want our wedding to be like?" Sirius asked, as he and Remus waited outside the shop.
Remus looked at him surprised.
"What?" Sirius questioned.
"I thought you were joking that night." Remus admitted. "I mean I know you love me and want to be together and all... But an actual wedding?"
Sirius laughed.
"I promise I won't make you wear the dress." Sirius smiled evilly. "Unless you want to."
Remus turned bright red, and shook his head.
"I don't know what I'd without you Sirius," Remus replied as Sirius wrapped an arm around his waist.
James and Lily were coming out of the shop, hand in hand, looking very happy.
Sirius kissed Remus gently.
"Think about the wedding thing." he whispered, as the four headed down the street.
*~~~~~~~~~~*
Frank and Alice's wedding was beautiful.
Alice had shed her tomboyish appearance for the day, and looked like a princess. Even Sirius had to admit it; though he promised her he would blackmail her for years.
The day was one of the happiest they had experienced in a long while, as everyone celebrated such a wonderful love.
Sirius, Peter and James were sitting at one of the tables at the reception, with Frank who was looking quite flustered.
Lily had dragged Remus off somewhere, despite the werewolf's pleas.
"When are you going to propose?" Sirius asked as James showed off the ring that he had been hiding in his pocket.
"The night before we go back to school." James answered with a smile.
"Hey! Maybe the four of you could do a double wedding." Frank suggested with a grin.
"No." James and Sirius replied firmly. "That would be waaaaay too weird."
"You and Remy still getting married then?" Frank laughed, clapping Sirius on the back.
"Think so..." Sirius answered, not able to hide the blush that crept across his face.
Sirius looked up, searching for his fiancé, and felt his stomach plunge. Remus was across the room talking to Snape.
Peter looked at Sirius pointedly.
*~~~~~~~~~~*
Remus was surprised when Severus tapped his shoulder. He left Lily with a group of her friends, and followed the Slytherin to a table in the corner.
"Hello Severus, how are you?" Remus said brightly, as he took a seat.
"Fine Remus. And yourself?" Severus replied, as he took a drink.
"Wonderful." Remus answered happily. "Is there a reason you needed to talk to me?"
"I'm here on Order business." Severus spoke, lowering his voice a bit.
"Oh," Remus's eyes grew wide, as he leaned forward to listen.
"The Dark Lord is now only interested in Lily, James, Alice, and Frank. But, even though you and Black are not targets anymore, the Headmaster wants you to be careful, all right?"
Remus nodded, feeling his heart sink. He wished he could protect his friends from the evil that was consuming the world.
"If you need me for anything, Remus, I'll be here, okay?" Severus suddenly said.
"Thank you," Remus replied, knowing that the Slytherin was talking strictly business now.
He had noticed a change in Snape. He had distanced himself from anybody and everybody, and Remus felt truly bad for him. But Snape's feelings had clearly changed for the Gryffindor. He ignored any attempt at friendship that Remus threw at him.
"You'd better go now. Your boyfriend looks as though he might murder me." Severus commented, contempt in his voice.
Remus looked up and saw Sirius staring at him. His stomach plunged.
*~~~~~~~~*
"I don't understand what you're so pissed about!" Remus yelled as they entered the flat.
"He's a Death Eater!" Sirius repeated, sounding exasperated.
"He's changed!" Remus snapped, throwing his coat on a chair in the kitchen.
"Go marry him then!" Sirius growled in annoyance as he walked into the living room.
"All right, all right, chill you two." James interrupted the quarrelling couple.
Sirius and Remus glared at each other for a moment.
"I think you're just jealous." Remus said finally.
Sirius growled.
"I'm just cautious unlike some people."
"He was here on Order business! How can you not trust people in the Order?" Remus hissed.
"There's a traitor in the Order, remember Remus?" Sirius shouted.
"Next thing you know, you're going to think I'm the spy!" Remus replied, near tears as he went into their room, slamming the door.
"Honestly," Lily sighed, as she went to go talk to Remus. "Nobody thinks you're the spy, Remy."
James looked at Sirius, whose eyes were filled with guilt.
*~~~~~~*
In the middle of the night Remus came out of the room and curled up next to Sirius on the couch.
"I'm sorry," he whispered. "I just feel like I'm losing my mind with who I am."
"It's all right... It was my fault." Sirius replied, as he wrapped his arms around Remus.
And even though they had both apologized and acted as though nothing was wrong, both of them could feel a difference around them that could not be erased.
*~~~~~~*
James rocked back and forth, feeling nervous.
"James, man, relax." Sirius frowned as he glanced at his best friend.
It was the night before they were due to go back to school. The flat had been emptied, and suitcases had been packed as the group prepared for their final year at Hogwarts.
It was Sirius that had suggested (at James's request) that they go out to eat that night.
Lily and Remus had been finishing the cleaning at the flat, and James and Sirius had gone to Alice and Frank's quickly before heading to the restaurant.
James and Sirius had arrived a bit early.
And James was freaking out because he was going to propose to Lily that night.
Lily and Remus appeared in the shop, and James went from 'omgomgomgomg' nerve mode to 'I-Think-I'm-Going-To-Puke' nerve mode.
"Chill Jamie." Sirius hissed, as he stood to kiss Remus.
James stood, and helped Lily into her seat, and she smiled at him.
"How are Alice and Frank?" she asked as she began to study the menu.
"I think Alice may kill Frank soon." Sirius said in an exaggerated mournful voice. "Can't stand the man."
"Really?" Lily questioned, looking surprised.
"No." James answered with a laugh. "Sirius is teasing you. They're so in love it's gross to be around them."
Remus smiled to himself as he placed the menu down.
"You look happy, love," Sirius said looked up.
Remus toyed with the ring that he wore around his neck; the one that Sirius had gotten him for that Christmas.
"I found some old letters you wrote me when we were younger." Remus replied, blushing.
"You're pleased so easily," Sirius commented with a laugh.
Remus grinned, as the waiter suddenly appeared to take their orders.
Dinner went smoothly, aside from the time when Sirius spilt the ice down his shirt, when Remus made a certain comment about 'screaming like a girl while being snogged'.
When dessert came, James's nerve mode kicked up again though to 'Help-I-Think-I'm-Gonna-Pass-Out'."
Lily was studying James, trying to figure out what in the world was up with him, when the waiter placed the cake in front of her.
Her eyes shifted to it, then to James, then suddenly back to the cake.
Her hand flew quickly to her mouth.
"James-"
But James was on one knee, a ring box in his hand, opened to reveal a dazzling ring.
"Will you?"
Lily burst into tears, and nodded, unable to muster any words.
Remus and Sirius smiled happily.
"Well, how did the idiot propose?" Sirius asked, as he spun the cake around, to see it.
On it was a picture made of icing. It showed Lily with about a bazillion kids around, looking very pleased, and James being beat up by them.
Remus laughed as Sirius kissed him on the cheek.
