Number Eight: I Love How You Love Me

There's always that one person that will always have your heart
You never see it coming 'cause your blinded from the start
Know that your that one for me clear for everyone to see
Oh Baby, you will always be my boo

-Usher and Alicia Keys, My Boo

"It's almost time!" Emma said, shouting into the women's changing room. Emma, who was already dressed, hurried into the room next to them, where Lily was struggling to get her dress on.

"Help me!" Lily cried frantically, "I think I broke the zipper!"

"Oh, Lils," Emma sighed and put her bouquet down, "Why were you trying to do this by yourself?"

"I didn't want to bother you," Lily sighed, "Shut and lock the door so we can use magic."

Emma did as she was told and whipped out her wand. Emma quickly repaired the zipper and helped Lily get dressed without breaking anything else. After they were done getting her dress on, Emma used a quick spell to curl her hair into spiral curls and apply some make up.

"There," Emma said putting her wand away, "How do you feel?"

"Sick," Lily said holding her stomach, "Can I have some water?"

Emma walked over to the small refrigerated and took out a bottle of water for Lily.

"How's James," she asked, drinking the water.

"He's," Emma said, trying to find the right words. She had just seen him earlier and he was in a wreck, "Fine."

"Good," Lily sighed, "I hope he's not getting worried or anything."

"James…worried?" Emma asked, letting out a fake laugh, "Don't worry, he's a confident person."

"That's true," Lily said chugging the whole bottle and asked for another, "I wish I was as strong as he was."

"Lily," Emma sighed as she gave Lily the bottle, "You are strong. You're the strongest person I know."

"What if he doesn't want to marry me because I'm not strong enough?" Lily asked panicking.

"Lily," Emma said, turning on a fan to cool her off, "James loves you."

"Your right," Lily said grabbing another bottle of water, "I think I'm having a hard time because my parents aren't here. What am I supposed to do? There's not father to walk me down the isle! Mum's not there to sit in the front row and cry! It wasn't supposed to be like this!"

"Lily," Emma said sitting down next to her best friend, "I know this is hard without your mum and dad. But, you just have to believe that they are here…in spirit. They love you, Lil, and they want you to be happy."

"Thanks, Em," Lily smiled and hugged her friend.

"You're welcome. Now, are you ready to get married?" Emma asked standing up.

"Emma, I have a problem," Lily said frowning.

"Lily, you're going to be fine. You love James and he loves you. You're going to march down that isle, get married, have some kids, and live happily ever after! You'll live long with James and-"

"Emma, it's not that." Lily interrupted her.

"Then, what is it?" she asked confused.

"I have to go to the bathroom…" Emma sighed before helping Lily get out of her dress and into the bathroom.

…

Lily soon found herself standing by the entrance to the church. She watched as the music started and the flower girls and ring bearer made their way down the isle. Soon after the isle was covered in rose petals, the bridesmaids started to make their way down the isle. Once they were all standing where they were supposed to, the music changed and it was Lily's turn. She walked slowly down the isle and waiting until James made eye contact with her to smile. The whole way down the isle Lily felt as if she was walking down memory lane. As James' eyes filled her brain, she remembered all her days at Hogwarts and out of Hogwarts. Lily couldn't smile and realized just how lucky she was.

Lily finally reached the end of the altar and joined hands with James.

"Dearly beloved," the priest started, "We are gathered her to join this man and this woman in holey matrimony…"

…

"It is my pleasure to introduce you, yes, that's YOU, to the new Mr. AND Mrs. James Potter!" Sirius yelled into the microphone as Lily and James entered the reception hall. It was starting to get dark. Lily and James were officially married, taken their wedding pictures, and it was now time to have some fun.

The music started up immediately and the crowd moved to the dance floor, but not before Lily and James reached it. Once they got to the floor, they shared their first dance.

Lily smiled and kissed James on the cheek, "I love you, James."

"I love you too, Lil," He smiled back.

"I wish your parents were here to see this," he smiled as he gazed at his own mother and father.

"Oh, don't worry," Lily said smiling at Emma, "Their here."

James smiled and spun Lily around. Soon the tempo picked up and everyone was having a good time.

Dinner was served awhile after the dancing. Everyone feasted over delicious chicken, steak, anything you could think of! After dinner, dessert came and so did Sirius' speech, which, of course, was a hit!

But before they could drink another glass of wine, eat another pie, or even share one last dance, it was time to go…and the newlyweds were one of the lasts to leave.

"Thanks for coming guys," Lily said hugging each Marauder.

"Did you expect us not to come?" Remus laughed as he patted James on the back.

"You two should be getting out of here," Sirius winked.

"Shut it," Lily laughed.

Lily and James did eventually make it back to their house where James carried her through the threshold and closed the door behind him.

They were finally married.
