Princess-anime – Yes, but Sirius is a cute dumbass!
The wedding seemed to be forever away, but when it finally came, it was everything Lily had ever dreamed of.
The day had dawned sunny and perfect.
And then everything had gone crazy.
Lily had been rushed around, getting her ready, until she thought she was going to lose her mind.
James meanwhile was pacing back and forth in the room that he, Sirius, and Remus were occupying. He kept messing with his hair, which the boys had attempted to slick back, and was a pale shade.
Finally everything seemed to slow down. The church was filled. James was standing at the altar, Sirius by his side.
Then Lily slowly walked down the aisle. She could feel her heart beating frantically as she saw James.
James watched her, a small smile dancing across his lips, his love for her clearly 1showing.
And in that moment, Lily was sure that she had never been happier. She was surrounded by all their friends, (even Lily's sister had shown up.), and she was about to be married to the best man on the planet.
*~~~~~~~*
"Come on Remus, you dolt!" Lily was laughing from where they were taking pictures.
Remus shook his head, laughing also.
"Be back." Sirius grinned, as he separated from the married couple.
Sirius strode over to where Remus was sitting and pretended to be cross, as he stood with his hands on his hips.
"Remus J. Lupin! How dare you be so rude to your best friends on their wedding day? Being so inconsiderate, sitting here with that little smirk on your face while they plead for you to take one picture of you, so they can remember your ugly mug on their wedding day!"
Remus burst out laughing.
"I won't stand for it!" Sirius continued, and then suddenly bent over, and threw Remus over his shoulder.
Lily covered her mouth from where she was standing, as Sirius returned.
The photographer was laughing now too as he snapped pictures of Sirius and Remus.
"I definitely do not want those!" James laughed. "Those are going to be sent to you two!"
"Good." Sirius spoke, as he set Remus on his feet. "We can make a scrap book to show our kiddies."
"What?" Remus yelped, as Sirius wrapped his arms around him.
"Just kidding." Sirius murmured, grinning as he posed once more for the camera.
"Okay, okay, a nice one now." Lily said, sobering up a bit.
James wrapped his arms around Lily's waist, and smiled. Next to him Sirius and Remus were smiling happily also.
*~~~~~~~~~~*
"Now I know you're not all expecting me to make this brilliantly intelligent speech using a bunch of big words that I can't even bloody pronounce." Sirius grinned as he broke into his speech.
Lily stifled back a giggle from where she was sitting next to James, and Remus and James rolled their eyes.
"So anyway... Being that I'm not very traditional either," he grinned at Remus. "I had to work with I had left for this little speech thinger. My incredible wit."
There were a few laughs from the guests.
"But then I realized... Lily what in the world are you thinking? I mean, can't you do any better then this blockhead?"
Lily burst out laughing.
"After all I'm sure there has to be one other guy as good as me out there." Sirius winked. "It's not too late yet, I bet you could still go up the priest, and go 'Can you change the name on the marriage license?' What do you say Lily?"
Lily looked at James for a moment, wrinkling her nose.
"Nah, I think he'll do Sirius. Thanks anyway."
Sirius snapped his fingers and shrugged.
"Well in that case... I do give my best wishes. I hope that you'll have a wonderful life, full of children, happiness, and many a good times.... especially when I'm around."
James laughed now, and embraced his best friend.
"Thank you." he said quietly.
"Hey, hey." Sirius said backing off, and putting his arm around Remus. "You shouldn't be trying to steal me away now."
He gave a pretend glare at the Potter.
Remus feigned shock.
"How dare you James? I thought I could trust you!"
James gave an exasperated sigh.
"What can I say? I can't resist Sirius's good charms."
"I heard that!" Lily laughed, as she wrapped her arms around James's waist. "I think you're going to be on the couch tonight."
There was a chorus of "oohs" from the surrounding crowd.
*~~~~~~~~~~~~*
Around two months after the Potter's wedding, Remus came home to Sirius in tears.
He wouldn't tell Sirius what was wrong, and resisted the pleading, and ran into straight into the bedroom and locked the door.
Sirius became frantic, and owled James and Lily, asking them to come over. Lily replied saying that James wasn't home yet, but they would be over within the hour.
Sirius returned to the bedroom door, begging Remus to open the door and let him in. Remus didn't answer. Sirius became scared, and started crying and continued to talk until he was voice was very hoarse.
Finally Lily and James arrived. James gathered up Sirius and took him into the kitchen and made a cup of tea for him. Meanwhile, Lily tried to coax Remus out of the room.
"He didn't say anything?" James asked as he set the steaming cup in front of Sirius
Sirius shook his head as he took a sip and ran his fingers threw his hair.
"He was just sobbing and I tried to get him to relax and tell me what was wrong, and he locked the bedroom door and wouldn't come out." Sirius replied in a bit of a shaky voice.
"It's okay," James reassured. "Lily will get him out."
Lily, meanwhile, was patiently talking to Remus. He had finally answered her around five minutes ago, when he asked her to 'please go away.'
But Lily hadn't left, she had calmly asked Remus what was wrong.
He hadn't answered.
The thought of using magic to open the door had crossed her mind, but she didn't want to invade on Remus unless things became dire.
"Remus," Lily called, in a soothing voice. "We just want to help you."
"I-I don't want S-Sirius to know!" Lily heard Remus cry.
Lily frowned a bit, wondering what had happened.
"Remus, love, it's only me. Sirius and James are in the kitchen. Please, I promise I won't tell Sirius."
The door opened.
Lily was relieved for a moment, and then she saw Remus. He looked a real mess, his face was tearstained, his hair a mess.
"Remus..." she said gently, as she stepped in wrapping her arms around him. "What's wrong?"
"I can't g-get a j-job." Remus cried. "B-Because I'm a werewolf. I can't g-get me license to teach!"
"What?" Lily asked surprised.
Getting a license to teach was fairly simple. You didn't even have to take classes as Remus was, just be able to pass a test demonstrating that your knowledge of the subject was vast.
"It means that Sirius will have to take care of me," Remus answered, new tears bursting out of his eyes. "I can't be that kind of annoyance to him!"
"Oh Remus." Lily answered sadly. "You would never be an annoyance to Sirius. He loves you."
"But Lily, I can't make any money." Remus repeated stubbornly. "Sirius would have to do all the work..."
"Don't worry." Lily said kindly. "We'll figure something out Remus. They can't discriminate against you if you are the best man for the job."
Remus sighed, and looked distraught.
"Come on now," Lily spoke, leading Remus towards the kitchen. "I have some news of my own that I want to share."
Remus raised an eyebrow slightly, but allowed himself to be taken into the kitchen.
Sirius looked relieved when the two entered the room.
He stood and Remus hugged him.
"I'm sorry." he whispered. "I didn't mean to scare you."
"I'm just glad you're all right." Sirius replied, lifting Remus's chin and kissing him gently on the lips. "Do you want to talk now or...?"
"Later." Remus answered, looking grateful to his lover.
"Well," Lily spoke, as she sat in James's lap. "Now that that crisis is taken care of, I have some good news for once."
"You're divorcing James!" Sirius cried, as he sat again, taking Remus into his lap.
James shot Sirius a dirty look.
"Smart arse."
"I'm so under appreciated." Sirius said with an exasperated sigh as he nuzzled Remus's shoulder.
Lily rolled her eyes.
"Please. Anyway... I found out... Well... I'm... James and I are going to have a baby." Lily spoke finally.
Sirius's mouth hung open, his eyes wide in surprise.
"Congratulations!" Remus said happily, smiling.
"Well, we also wanted to ask Sirius... Well the two of you really. Sirius, will you be the godfather?"
Sirius's eyes got even wider.
"We want you to be the godfather to the second baby." Lily added to Remus.
"Lily...I think you killed Sirius." James commented, at seeing his best friend's unmoving figure.
Remus poked Sirius in the ribs.
"Siri?"
Sirius was still staring, his face locked in a expression of shock. Remus smirked for one moment, and then grabbed the back of Sirius's neck and brought him forward for an amazing kiss.
Sirius sputtered for a few moments, and then looked up.
"Um. Yes. Lily."
"Good." Lily said, smiling happily.
*~~~~~~~~~*
Nine Months Later
Remus was his and Sirius's flat when he got the owl.
Remy-
Lily-Labor-Now-Come
-James
Remus blinked in surprise when he heard a loud roar outside the window.
"Come on Remy!" Sirius yelled.
Remus laughed a bit as he saw Sirius on the flying motorbike Remus had gotten him.
True to her word, Lily had gone into action fighting the rules for Remus to get a teaching job. She hadn't been completely successful yet, but Remus did have a minor job in the Ministry that kept him and Sirius supported, as Sirius was finishing up his training.
Remus hurried outside, and flung on of his legs over the bike, and latched his arms around Sirius's waist,
"The baby's going to born today!" Sirius yelled excitedly as he took back to the air.
"Things should be interesting." Remus laughed as Sirius sped up.
Peter and James were already at Mungo's when they arrived. It appeared Lily had thrown James out of the delivery room after threatening to kill him.
He was pacing nervously back and forth now. Peter was seated on an orange plastic chair, trying to calm James down. He waved, and smiled nervously when he saw Remus and Sirius enter.
"How are things going?" Remus asked, as he took a seat next to Peter.
Sirius took over the task of calming James down and sat him down in a seat, and gave him a strong cup of tea.
"Good I guess." Peter answered. "The baby should be born soon one of the Deliverers said." (AN: Since wizards don't have doctors, I'm making that a wizard that delivers babies. Yeah.)
"James is probably more nervous than Lily." Remus commented with a laugh.
One of the Deliverers suddenly came down the hall towards them.
"Are you James Potter?" she asked.
James nodded meekly.
"Congratulations," she smiled at him. "Your wife just had a baby boy. If you would come with me..."
Peter, Remus, Sirius, and James all stood.
"I'm afraid it's family only for now." the Deliverer said with a nod.
"Oh," James replied. "They are family. My brothers."
The Deliverer raised an eyebrow, but didn't say anything as she led them to Lily.
Lily smiled as the four Marauders entered the room.
"James come here," she said softly.
Lily looked tired, her red curls were matted to her forehead, and she was a bit pale, but her expression was one of happiness.
James knelt by the bed, and Lily presented her bundle to him.
"Meet your son, Harry James Potter."
James broke down crying. Remus had tears in his eyes also, and Sirius was smiling softly at the tiny baby.
James held Harry, who broke out crying the instant he was taken from his mother.
"Come here James," Sirius said with a sigh, as he took the baby into his own arms.
Harry became silent, as he stared at his godfather. Then he gave a loud happy yell, grabbed a strand of Sirius's hair, and yanked.
Sirius gave a yelp of pain, and Remus laughed.
"Good Harry." Remus smiled.
"Hey, hey, is that anyway to treat the man that is going to teach you the fun things in life?"
"Hey, hey yourself, and give me back my child." Lily teased Sirius.
"Wait, Peter hasn't seen him." Sirius commented, passing the baby to the fourth Marauder.
Peter held the child awkwardly, looking a bit uncomfortable.
"We didn't do too bad..." James whispered happily, as he stroked Lily's head.
