A/N- I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO sorry about the long wait for the next chapter! Very busy, with school less than a month away! This will probably be the third to last chapter, not counting the epilog if there even is one. So here it is...
Chapter 6: The Fourth Pensive: James Potter
Everything started to spin...again. Harry felt sick...again. He was starting to get annoyed at the familiar feelings. His heart pounded wildly as he turned over and over, waiting for the landing...
Thump. Harry landed in the soft grass, but that didn't stop his backside from hurting like it had been repeatedly smacked with an oar. He stood up and brushed the grass off of his legs. Looking around, he didn't see anyone.
Suddenly, there was a murmur of voices and a worry-filled shout. Harry spun around on his heel and searched everywhere for the source of the scream. His heart filled with dread, wondering whether or not he really wanted to find out.
Then two men appeared. Harry peered at the two people and felt a whoosh that pushed him towards the second man. He looked into the man's face and saw an identical version of himself, except with brown eyes instead of green.
It was none other than James Potter, Harry's father. He smiled broadly and saw that the first man was Sirius Black. They were talking and James looked like he was about to throw up.
"Don't worry, mate, she'll say yes. Who wouldn't want to marry you?" Sirius laughed in a vague attempt to make James feel better.
"All right, let's just get this over with. Lily should be here any second now." James said, looking around.
There was a loud crack. Harry knew this was the sound of someone Apparating onto the grass. Sirius' eyes went wide. He turned into a black dog and sprinted off into the darkness. James straightened his hair as best as he could, although it was still sticking up.
The person who had just arrived was Lily, Harry's mother. Even from a distance, Harry could see her emerald eyes glitter in the moonlight. James smiled and took a deep breath before walking towards Lily.
"Hello, love." James said, kissing her hand gently.
"Hello, love." Lily repeated as she smiled warmly. "Oh, James, this place is lovely!"
Indeed, as Harry looked around once more, the place was wonderful. There was a open field of grass and a few blue flowers. Then in the center was a small cluster of trees decorated with hundreds of white...lilies.
James took Lily's hand and lead her towards the trees. Harry walked slowly behind. He smiled as he saw the love in both of his parents' eyes.
James held his hand up towards the flowers and Lily gasped in awe. She kissed James on the lips. "I thought you might like these, my Lily flower." James smiled. Harry saw in James' eyes that he would never forget that kiss as long as he lived.
For fifteen long minutes, Lily and James exchanged quick kisses on the lips and smiles. They talked about everything from the Chuddley Cannons to Lily's sister's recent marriage to Vernon Dursley.
Then, suddenly, James whispered to himself Just do it now. He got down on one knee and took Lily's hand. Lily gasped and choked back many tears. Harry smiled again.
"Lillian Marie Evans, will you make me the happiest man in this universe and be my wife?" James asked. He pulled a stunning ring from his pocket and showed it to Lily.
Lily started to cry and screamed, "YES JAMES!" on top of her lungs. James laughed and kissed her. Then a big black dog came out from nowhere and toppled the two to the ground.
The dog changed into Sirius, who was starting to cry himself. "I'm best man! I'm best man!" He laughed.
Harry was ready to join the group, then everything went blank. He sighed and prepared himself for the trip back to the present...
He was flying backwards at a heart-wrenching speed. Then he was back in the Room of Requirement. Harry was happy about that Pensieve.
Then he got up, stepped towards the last Pensieve, and sighed. This was the last one. That mean it was Lily's, his mother's. Smiling, he dunked himself into the ride of his life...
