Chapter 12: Untitled

(A/N: If you guys don't believe in God or anything like that, then sorry, but I do and in this scene they are praying to God. If this offends you, please don't read this part.) (Lily POV)

[I]Dear God, please bless all the innocent people in the world who are victims of horrible people like him. Please, God, help me get threw these tough times and help me stay safe. Please tell Katie and Michelle that we love them and miss them. They did not deserve to die in such a painful and rude way. Please also, God, help us end the ways of this terrible…man…who is taking so many innocent lives. Thank you, Amen. [/I]

I unfolded my hands and looked up at the altar in front of me. I glanced to my left and saw Bree and Ashley still deep in praying.

I looked down at my finger nail and felt a tear creep down my face. It still amazed me that only a few hours ago my friends were murdered by the most feared man in the wizarding world.

Nineteen years old. They were too young to die. Nor did they deserve to have their lives stolen from them. They barely even got to enjoy life!

I glanced back up at the altar and realized that in two days I would be staring at this same altar, watching my best friend getting married to the man she loves. I smiled slightly at the thought of Ashley and Remus getting married so young, yet so in love.

Unfortunately our friends won't be here to share those wonderful memories.

"They'll be here in spirit," Bree said quietly, as if answering our thoughts.

"Yeah, I know." Ashley sighed, "I just wish that they could've been here in another way."

"We all do," I replied silently, standing up and getting out of the pew.

"Today has been a big shocker, don't you think?" Bree said, tears staring to fall down her face again.

"Yeah," I sighed as we all headed out of the church, "We've got to stick together now."

"Yeah." Ashley said, putting her arms around each of us, "I love you guys."

"I love you guys too." Bree smiled, "And I'm not letting that basard get between us as well!"

We walked silently out of the church, our face fresh with tears.

"You know what I've been thinking about lately? After more and more attacks have been occurring?" Bree asked, holding her coat around her closer.

"That this Christmas is going to be the saddest Christmas of all?" Ashley asked, staring at the Christmas lights.

"No," Bree sighed, air escaping her body and forming a white cloud in front of her, "I want to become an Auror."

I nodded my head, "I've thought about that too."

"I guess I'm not the only one then," Ashley agreed.

"So what do you think?" Bree asked, getting into the front seat of the car.

"About becoming Aurors?" Ashley asked, buckling her seat belt.

"Yeah," Bree said staring at the steering wheel, "Do you guys want to become Aurors?"

I looked down at my hands, which were shivering from the cold, "I want to help."

"I do too." Ashley agreed quietly.

"It's settled then," Bree said, more tears falling from her face, "Together we will all work hard to become Aurors, and when we are fully certified Aurors we will save innocent people from these terrible people."

"For Katie and Michelle." Ashley said quietly, holding her hand out to shake.

"For Katie and Michelle," Bree and I agree quietly, combining our hands to make a three-person handshake.

We all buckled up and drove back to our apartment. Once we were back and settled we all headed to bed (Ashley slept on the couch.)

I woke up early the next morning and yawned as I walked to the bathroom to brush my teeth. As I walked down the hallway I heard someone in the front room.

I kept walking down the hallway until I came into full view of Ashley pacing back and forth with a paper bag up against her mouth, breathing hard into it.

"What are you doing?" I smiled, leaning against the wall.

"Oh my gosh, Lily," she gasped, "I'm getting married."

"Yeah," I shrugged, "Tomorrow."

Ashley squealed nervously before breathing in the bag again.

"I'll just let you…er...breathe while I go shower." I replied, heading back towards the bathroom to clean up for the day.

I nearly drowned myself in my tears in the shower. I couldn't stop thinking about the previous nights events and also couldn't help but wish it was all a nightmare.

I hurriedly turned off the shower when I heard someone pounding against the door.

"What?" I asked, wrapping a towel around myself. I swung the door open and saw a very tired looking Bree.

"She is going insane." She said, nodding her head towards the front room, "You can deal with her because I need to shower."

"Fine," I sighed, walking to my room so I could get dressed.

Once I was dressed and ready for the day I used a drying spell to dry and style my hair. I walked out of my room carrying a pair of socks in my hand.

"Lily!" Ashley gasped when she saw me, "I don't think I can do this."

"Of course you can," I replied, sitting down on the couch and putting my socks on, "Remus is perfect for you and you two love each other."

"Right," Ashley nodded, breathing into her bag again.

"I'm going to make some breakfast; do you want something to eat?" I asked, standing up and heading towards the kitchen.

"I don't think that's a good idea." Ashley blushed.

"Alright," I smiled as I got some pancake mix out of the cupboard.

As I was making breakfast, Bree came out of the bathroom looking fresh and ready for the day.

"Did you calm her down?" She asked, taking her medicine.

"Do you think I calmed her down?" I said looking into the front room where Ashley was pacing again.

"Right," Bree smiled slightly, "Well, I'll be back in a bit."

"Where are you going?" I asked, "You can't leave me with her, she's going mad!"

"I need to talk to Sirius." Bree replied, "She's not mental, just nervous."

"Ugh, alright," I sighed, flipping the pancakes, "But make sure you're here in enough time to come with us to check that everything is going smoothly at the church."

"I will, don't worry." Bree smiled, "Bye."

"Bye," I replied as Bree apparated out.

"Where did Bree go?" Ashley asked coming into the kitchen.

"She went to go talk to Sirius." I replied piling pancakes onto a plate, "Are you sure you don't want something to eat?"

"Maybe just one pancake," she replied sitting down, "I'm feeling a little better now."

"Great," I replied handing her a plate.

"Mmm," she said, eating the pancakes, "These are great."

"Thanks," I smiled, sitting down next to her, "When Bree gets back we'll go to the church."

"Okay," Ashley said, taking deep breathes, "Lily, Katie was supposed to be my maid of honor but seeing as she can only be my maid of honor in spirit, I was wondering if you would want to?"

I smiled at my friend, "I'd be honored."

"Thanks," she smiled, "I'll go over where you walk in and such today when we-Oh no!"

"What?" I asked, dropping my fork.

Ashley looked down at her pancake and started breathing heavily again, "I forgot to call and make sure the cake is delivered early!"

"It's no big deal," I shrugged.

"Yes, it is!" she sobbed, "If I don't call their going to deliver it too late!"

"Well," I reached for Ashley's paper bag as she started to hyperventilate again, "I'll call the cake place."

"Thanks, Lil." Ashley said grabbing her stomach, "I don't feel very well."

I quickly helped Ashley to the bathroom and held her hair back as she threw up her breakfast.

"Sorry about that," Ashley blushed, "I guess this whole wedding thing is really making me nervous."

"I'd say," I giggled, "Come on; let's go do something that will calm you down."

(No POV)

"Sirius!" Bree called into Sirius apartment, "Sirius, where are you?"

Bree searched Sirius and James' apartment but couldn't find them anywhere. She was about to leave when she heard the door open and Sirius and James walked in.

"There you are." She sighed, walking forward and kissing Sirius on the cheek, "Where were you?"

"Went to get something to eat," Sirius replied, "We've been at the ministry and the attack site all night and I'm bloody tired."

Bree looked sadly at the floor and noticed just how tired the two men looked.

"Well, maybe I should just go." She replied, seeing how James was extremely sad looking.

"That's okay," James shrugged, "I think I'm going to go lay down."

"Okay," Bree said hugging him, "I'm sorry."

"It's not your fault." James said, hugging Bree back, "But I'm definitely going to kill whose fault it is."

Bree nodded her head, not knowing how terrible it must be to loose a sibling and a friend in one night.

"I'll talk to you guys later," James said, trying to smile, "Besides, if we want to last through that whole bachelor party I'm going to need my rest."

"Yeah, me too." Sirius sighed.

"See you later, Bree," James said going into his room and slamming his door shut.

"I can leave if you want." Bree said, sitting down on the couch next to Sirius.

"I don't want you to leave." He said, putting his arm around Bree, who snuggled up close to Sirius.

"Are you going to tell me everything?" Bree asked, looking up at Sirius.

"Do you want to know everything?" Sirius asked.

"Yes." She replied, feeling tears form in her face again.

"Michelle was over at Katie's house." He said, his voice was horse, seeing as Katie was almost like his sister too, and Michelle was a good friend, "The Potter's are a major threat to Voldemort. You know that the whole line of Potter's is top aurors, wealthy, and ranked very high in the wizarding world."

"You mean," Bree said, understanding what Sirius was trying to say, "He's trying to kill the Potter's? Including James?"

"James is a big threat too." Sirius said, playing with the corner of Bree's sleeve, "Voldemort wants him dead."

Sirius struggled, but nodded his head, "Yeah, dead."

"That's...terrible!" Bree cried, "What does James have to say about this?"

"Prongs isn't one to show his emotions," Sirius shrugged, "It may look like he's fine right now, but I know he's all broken up inside."

"I know," Bree said quietly, tears streaming down her face.

Sirius quickly wiped the tears away, "He's a crazy man."

"I know," Bree said, struggling to say what she was about to say, "Which brings me to my next topic."

"What's that?" Sirius asked confused.

"Lily, Ashley, and I were talking last night," she started, "And we decided we are going to become Aurors."

"What?" Sirius asked, rather loud.

"We want to be Aurors to help the innocent people that he is attacking!" she explained.

"Bree, I don't think that's a very good idea." Sirius replied.

"Why not!?"

"It's dangerous!" he exclaimed.

"So, it's okay for you to have a dangerous job but not okay for me?" she asked, offended.

"I just don't want you to get hurt!" he cried.

"And you think I want you to get hurt?" Bree asked standing up, "I don't care what you say Sirius. I want to do this. You have no idea how terrible I am feeling right now after the deaths of my two friends. I want to do something to help our side!"

"Can't you do something else?" he asked.

"Sirius," Bree said quietly as the tears came falling down her face, "I'm becoming an Auror. Just respect my decision and support me."

Sirius sighed before getting up and embracing Bree in a large hug, "I just love you so much."

"I know," she replied, "I love you too. But I feel like I need to do this. For Katie and Michelle."

"I understand," Sirius sighed, hugging Bree tighter.

"Thank you." Bree whispered her voice cracking.

(Lily POV)

"Okay, Lily, then you would walk up and stand on the side of me." Ashley said demonstrating.

"Sounds good," I replied, "What time do we have to be here?"

"Well," Ashley sighed, rubbing her forehead, "I suppose pretty early. The wedding is at five, and I'm guessing the reception will be around six. How long do weddings last for anyway?"

"Hopefully not too long," Bree's voice came from the entrance way.

"Bree!" Ashley squealed happily, "Glad you're here because you need to be two spots closer to me and right next to Lily."

"Why so close?" Bree questioned, sitting down in a pew.

Ashley shrugged, "Like a second brides mate."

Bree grinned, "As long as I get a special seat at the special table."

"Deal," Ashley smiled, sitting next to Bree.

"Well, how does it feel to be getting married in less than twenty-four hours?" Bree asked.

Ashley breathed out loudly, "Scary…but I'm getting more used to it."

"That's good." I said, patting Ashley's knee, "But theirs not much to be afraid about. Where are you guys going for your honeymoon?"

"Yeah," Bree grinned, nudging Ashley in the arm, "Anywhere romantic?"

"Remus wants to go to the states." Ashley replied, "He wants to see the other side of the world."

"America?" Bree wrinkled her nose, "Why would you want to go there?"

"We like it there." Ashley shrugged, "We're going to go to a small island outside of Hawaii where we can sit on the beach and all that good stuff."

"The beach?" I smiled, "Now that's romantic."

"Yeah," Ashley smiled, "Well, girls, in a few hours we have to go to a long rehearsal dinner where tons of relatives will drink and talk and never go home!"

We all laughed as we stood up and exited the church and apparated back to our apartment.
