Six months past, then one year since Alex's death. Everyone moved on, but they could never forget her. They all missed her dearly, but mourning forever wouldn't bring her back and she wouldn' want it. About eight months after her death, another attack came upon Lily and James. No one was dead, and no one was injured.
"James," Lily said one night. "I'm scared." James hugged her closer and she cuddled with him. "Volemort won't stop until we're dead." She buried her head in his chest and started to cry.
"It's ok Lily," said James. "We'll think of something." No one could tell by his voice that he didn't believe himself, but looking into his eyes, he was very scared too. 'I hope,' he thought. "Where's Alice?" he asked, changing the subject.
"Out with Frank," sniffed Lily. "He won't let her leave his sight these days. Not after the last attack."
"Lily!" yelled Alice when she ran into their house that they all shared. James, Sirius, and Remus shared one room, Peter and Frank shared another, and Lily and Alice shared the third one.
Lily wiped her eyes and calmed down a little before Alice ran up to her. "What?"
Alice shoved her left hand in Lily's face. It had a beautiful diamond ring on it. "Frank asked me and I said yes!" she squealed, all in giggles and smiles.
"Oh my God! Congrats!" Lily hugged her friend. Then she hugged Frank. James kissed Alice on the cheek and playfully punched Frank in the arm. The rest came out of their rooms and congratulated them too.
"Lily, you are my Maid of Honor and you?re coming with me to pick out my dress," said Alice. "Yours too."
"When is it going to be?" asked Lily.
"Don't know yet, but soon," said Frank.
Alice and Frank's wedding passed by as a blur to Lily. She kept on day dreaming about her in Alice's place and James in Frank's. That kept a smile on her face. She didn't even realize that she was trying to catch the bouquet of flowers until they actually landed in her hands. She smiled and caught James's eyes. He, too, was smiling. He was going to ask the night Frank asked Alice, but this was their time. Frank and Alice moved out and into their own home about two months after the wedding.
"Lily," James sat next to her the night Alice and Frank left.
Lily put down her book and looked up at him. "Yeah James?"
"I've known you for about ten years now, and we've been going out for about four years," said James.
"Yeah..." said Lily, not sure where this was going.
"And I love you. I can't- I won't- live without you," said James. He slid off the couch and got on one knee. Lily's eyes grew wide. "Lily Evans, love of my life, will you marry me?" He opened the box he pulled out. The ring had a gold band with three diamonds. They middle one was the biggest. Medium diamonds were on the sides of it. Lily's eyes filled with happy tears.
"Of course I will!" said Lily. James slipped on the ring. He was smiling from ear to ear. He got up and was immediately pushed on to the couch by Lily. She kissed him and he deepened it. She let go and went down the hall. "Remus! Sirius! Peter!" They all stuck their heads out of a door. James followed her.
"What?" asked all three of them. Then Sirius saw the gleam of the ring. He came out of the room. "You take care of our little boy Lily." Sirius pinched James' cheek like a grandma would do.
"Congrats you two," Remus said giving Lily a hug.
The wedding ceremony went by as a big blur to Lily and James. They said their vows, slipped on each other's rings, and kissed each other. A picture was taken of the bride and groom with a laughing Sirius in the background. That day was prefect. Nothing went wrong, which was a surprise for Lily and James.
