AND NOW ONWARD TO THE NEXT UPDATED CHAPTER OF THE STORY!!
James was glad that the whole confusion about the two boys with the same name engagement thing was all done with, but he could tell that Lily was still afraid to give him her heart. He wasn't sure what her other boyfriends had done to her, but he was bound and determined to make it all go away. He wasn't like them and never would be. He would make her life entirely different just by his existance in her life.
Alice and Frank continued on with their wedding plans and the end of the school days started winding down, much to everyone's sadness. Except for one thing. Graduation.
"I'M GRADUATING!!" Sirius screamed early that morning, running around in circles in the Head's common room. Lily ran down stairs in her pj's and smacked him upside the head.
"Must you scream?" She asked him impatiently.
"OF COURSE BECAUSE TODAY WE GRADUATE!! I ACTUALLY PASSED THIS SCHOOL!! WOOOOT WOOOOT!!" Sirius continued to scream, causing James to come down and yell at him angrily.
"We heard him in our tower!" Remus exclaimed as he walked through the porthole with Gretchen, Peter, Alice, Frank, Nancy, and Hestia on his tail.
"Yeah and we figured he wouldn't stop screaming all day." Hestia said, rolling her eyes in annoyance.
"I AM GRADUATING!!" Sirius screamed in their face on one of his many circles of the room.
"Alright! WE GET IT YOU STUPID NIT WIT!!" James yelled at him, as he clothedline him in the chest.
"FINE JAMES POOOOOOOOOOTTER I WILL STOP BUT ONLY BECAUSE YOU ASKED SOOOOOO NICELY!!" Sirius said throwing himself down into a chair.
"This is our second to last morning together during school that is." Alice said softly, looking down at her hands.
"Now don't start Alice, because if you do I will to." Lily said as the tears brimmed in her eyes.
"And don't you two start, because I can't handle it when both of you go." Hestia said, tears already falling.
"Threatening won't do any good... You all are going to cry anyway. You already are." Nancy cried,
pushing away the tears with the back of her hand. The boys rocked them, holding them, and soothed them.
"Now stop crying. We'll all be friends. Forever. Right guys?" James said, looking at the guys for help.
Sirius stood up and walked in front of them. They looked up at him in confusion.
"From this day forward we will forever be the Famous Mauraders. We are a group of friends that will always be friends. We will stand united in everything that we do. From this day forward we are no longer the Hogwarts going students. We are the adult friends, moving on in life and in love." Sirius said solemnly.
"Oh, Sirius. That was so beautiful." Lily breathed, smiling at him.
"Yep. I got a way with the ladies." Sirius said with a wink, causing everyone to laugh.
"Lily Evans and James Potter. As Head Boy and Girl of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardy,
I hereby announce that you two have the highest honors as graduates of our school. I hope that you are successful in your lives and do what your hearts have always wanted to." Dumbledore announced, handing them their diplomas. They smiled and sat back down.
"And of course we must recognize their zany friends. A group of students that have become much more then friends. They have become family to one another. They were known as the Mauraders, appropriately named by Sirius Black in their First Year. The Mauraders will be forever known as the greatest band of students to ever have graced these halls. Sirius Black, Peter Pettigrew,
Gretchen Hollis, Remus Lupin, Nancy Heart, Hestia Jones, Alice Applegate, and Frank Longbottom.
We graduate you last because you helped in the shaping of our Head's lives. May you all do what you want in your future and may you find the same love you have shown for each other during your seven years here."
"With that I formerly graduate you all, my last act as your Headmaster. Good Luck in your futures. Congratulations the year 1975. You have done it."
Cheers broke out all around and caps were thrown into the air. James turned to Lily and grabbed her hand.
"Lily I have something to ask you?"
"You seem serious but why? This is a time for celebration."
"Will you marry me Lily Evans? Please? I don't think I could ever have a life without you."
Lily's lip trembled. Her mind was screaming two things: yes and no. No because of what had happened with her other three boyfriends, but a yes because she knew that she truly, deeply loved James Potter. She took a deep breath and for the first time in her life listened to her heart.
"Yes, James Potter. I would be honored to be your wife until death do us part." She answered. James jumped up and spun her around, kissing her in front of everyone as passionately as he could.
"I love you Lily." He whispered softly. She smiled and hugged him tighter.
"I love you too James."
"JAMES AND LILY ARE GETTING MARRIED!!" Sirius screamed at the top of his lungs.
"SIRIUS!" The happy couple yelled in shock.
"What?!" He asked them as if he was confused. A knowing smile filled his face.
"HEY WHO HAD DIBS ON GRADUATION DAY BEING THE DAY THAT JAMES FINALLY WON LILY'S HEART? SIRIUS DO YOU STILL HAVE THAT PIECE OF PAPER OF THE BETS?" Remus yelled over the cheering.
"YEAH, IT'S BACK IN MY TRUNK. WE'LL LOOK AT IT ONCE WE GET UP THERE." Sirius yelled back.
"YOU HAD A BET ON US?!" Lily yelled at him, hitting him lighting on the arm.
"Of course. It made the year that more fun."
The Mauraders laughed, basking in the day of the happiness of a wedding proposal and finally graduation.
