(In the voice of Remus Lupin)
At first when Sirius told me that James and Lily had broken the wedding date, I was a bit skeptical because for one Sirius is never serious and two Lily and James were the… "it" couple and no one really expected those two to ever break up except for the occasional slytherin, but even they had to admit that the two were made for each other. So when Sirius told me this is was natural for me to think that he was lying. Unfortunately, he was telling the truth for once in his life. So here I am in front of Lily's and James' flat or rather Lily's seeing as she had kicked James out, who happens to be sleeping on my couch at the moment. We had tried talking to James about apologizing to Lily, but he refused like always. The conversation ended with Peter having some of his body parts switched and Sirius looking like jello. We decided to go on to Lily, but I have a feeling that this won't be as successful as the last meeting.
Knock. Knock. Knock.
"Go away."
"How did she know it was us?" Sirius dumbly asked. I ignored the question. Currently Peter wasn't with us at the moment. He had to go back to his small Ministry job. He's been working hard lately on it and I've wondered what's he's been up to, but never did ask. Which brings me to our jobs, actually their jobs. I don't have one because well no one wants a human that howls at the moon every once a month. James, who everyone thought would become the next Roy Rumpfield, decided in helping out the war cause so he became an auror in training as well as Sirius. If you didn't know Roy Rumpfield is well he was one of the best Quidditch players in the history of the sport. He would be the equivalent of the Muggle Jackie Robinson or Michael Jordan or even Lance Armstrong. But as I was saying, Lily worked at the ministry department as well, except she worked as an inspector for S.T.A.N.D or what Lily calls it Stupid Terrorists and Numbskull Duds. What she does is that she takes all the accumulated threats to the magical society and discerns which one is the most threatening to the magical society. She then puts the information into a direct and concise essay and sends it off to the Minister of Magic, who has his aurors like James and Sirius do some investigating. It's an interesting job, a job that I would have considered if I were eligible for it.
"Lily, May we just talk?" I patiently ask.
"No." She always was stubborn.
"Lily, please. Just open the door and we can just sit down and…"
"Drink tea!" Sirius apparently finished my sentence for me.
"I don't want any of your cruddy tea, REMUS! And get Sirius away from my doorstep!" I admit Lily may be in a disastrous mood from the recent fight with James, but that does not give her license to insult me. My tea is not cruddy.
"Sirius get away from Lily's doorstep." I plainly order Sirius. I didn't say that Lily couldn't yell at Sirius. I just said that she couldn't insult me. Sirius looked like he was about to call me traitor.
"Moony!" Guess he chose to call me by my nickname instead.
"Sirius, really. Just do as Lily says. She's in irritable mood and I don't want her any more petulant." Sirius can be more of a child than anyone I know and he's of the age 20. Yes, 20. James and Lily are also 20 years old. I thought of them to be a bit young to be marrying, but that did not seem stop them. Course I couldn't exactly say that they've been rushing it because when you have a friend like Sirius who goes as fast as he does with a girl then Lily and James could be considered going grandmother speed. Besides, I don't think I could think of a better couple to be marrying, except other than Alice and Frank Longbottom, good friends of ours from our Hogwarts days. They were married in August of this summer and if all goes to plan Lily and James will be married by the end of September. It was a lovely wedding and so should this upcoming one, if it occurs that is.
"Lily Sirius is off the doorstep and I am not holding any cups of tea. May we come in?" I calmly ask, but I'm answered with a vase being thrown at the other side of the door. Sirius is surprised and a bit frightened. I just sigh and take that as a no.
"Come on Sirius. We aren't getting anywhere with this. We might as well go." As we walk away from Lily's flat, I consider all of the possibilities of how this could happen and I can think of none. Lily and James were absolutely perfect. How could the two have just broken up? Unless Sirius…No. I cannot just accuse Sirius of causing this whole fiasco, but I cannot help but wonder. He certainly is the root of many problems much like these. Well whether he did something or not. We have to fix it, but how?
