Chapter 13: Dinner Rehearsal

Disclaimer: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooo!

"Ashley?" I called, banging on the bathroom door, "Are you ready? We need to go!"

"Coming!" Ashley called back.

I walked back into the living room where Bree was sitting on the couch waiting patiently to go the Ashley's dinner rehearsal.

"So do I look alright?" Ashley said, coming out of the bathroom in a black dress and her hair straight.

"You look great," Bree said standing up.

"Are you sure?" Ashley asked as I handed her purse and jacket to her.

"Yes!" Bree and I exclaimed, not wanting Ashley to change for the fifth time.

"Let's go," I said holding my stomach in pain.

"What's wrong?" Bree asked.

"My stomach hurts." I shrugged as we exited the apartment and headed to our car, "My lunch isn't agreeing with me."

"Well see how you feel in a bit." Ashley said comforting, "Maybe you're just nervous."

"Nervous for what? It's your dinner rehearsal." I asked confused as we drove down the street.

"To see James again!" she replied.

"IAshley!/I" Bree exclaimed looking out her rear-view mirror.

"Sorry," she blushed.

"You guys think I'm nervous to see James again?" I asked. Oh, how right they are. If only they knew how nervous I really am, "I'm fine with seeing James again."

"That's good then." Bree smiled pulling into the busy restaurant's parking lot, "Because he'll be here tonight."

"Great," I said quietly.

As much as I wanted to see James again, I was absolutely dreading the moment.

"Hi, we're here for the Lupin's rehearsal dinner." Bree said to the hostess.

"Right this way," she smiled and led the way to an enormous room where all of Ashley and Remus' friends and family were chatting loudly.

Here we go…

(No POV!)

Remus walked up to Ashley and hugged her tightly.

"Hello," she smiled as she took off her coat and hung it on the back of her chair, "How are you?"

"Pretty well," he said as he pulled Ashley's chair out for her.

"You're nervous?" she asked.

"Nope," he smiled sitting down next to her.

"Good," she smirked, "Neither am I."

"Wonderful." He said taking a sip of his water.

"Where are James and Sirius?" Ashley asked, noticing the two seats between Remus and Peter were empty.

"They're running late." He frowned, "They're surely keeping busy with all these attacks. I'm lucky Moody let me off. He wasn't going to let me, but since it is Imy/I wedding rehearsal, he let me off the hook."

"Will they be here soon?" Ashley asked.

"Of course," he smiled, "Don't worry."

"Good," she said turning to Bree and Lily and whispered, "Sirius and James will be here soon."

"Okay," Lily shrugged; clutching her stomach as the waiters came, carrying trays of food.

"Are you going to be okay?" Bree said looking at Lily, her face full of concern.

"Yeah," Lily replied, "I think I'm just hungry."

"Okay," they shrugged as they began to eat.

Lily took one bite of her food and immediately felt sicker.

"Maybe I should use the restroom." She whispered.

"Do you need me to come?" Bree asked.

"Nah," Lily replied, "Just, where is it?"

"Down the hall and to the left." Ashley replied, watching Lily get up and hurry off to the bathroom.

"Do you think she's going to be okay?" Ashley asked.

"I don't know," Bree replied, "Hopefully."

"Hey, soon to be newlyweds!" Everyone turned around to see Sirius and James standing in the doorway looking extremely tired, yet excited at the same time.

"Hey, guys!" Remus jumped up and greeted his best friends.

"We don't want to see you, Moony." James rolled his eyes and walked past his best friend, "We came to see the bride."

"Yes, indeed." Sirius said, following James over to Ashley.

"Hello, my dear, how are you?" James said, kissing Ashley's hand.

Ashley giggled and joined in on the fun, "Smashing, how are you?"

"Fine thanks-"

"Move aside, Prongs, she doesn't want to see you she wants to see me." Sirius pushed James to the side and kissed Ashley's other hand, "Hello, dear Ashley, is Moony treating you well?"

"Yes," she smiled as they took their seats. Ashley intertwined her hand with Remus', "He most definitely is."

"Oh, hey Bree." Sirius smiled, noticing his girlfriend.

"Glad to see you too," she glared, "Jeez, you greet my best friend before you greet me."

Sirius pulled Bree to the back of the room and kissed her, "How are you Imy/I dear?"

Bree giggled, "Fine."

"Speaking of best friends," Sirius said, dropping his voice, "Where's your best friend."

"In the bathroom."

"So, she'll be seeing Prongs soon then?" he smiled.

"Doubtful."

"What are you talking about?" he asked.

"She's sick." Bree sighed, "Now what? I can't ask her to stay here while she's sick just so she can see James. What if she needs medical help?"

"Talk to Ashley and see what you two can think up of." Sirius replied.

"Alright…"

Lily sat down on the counter, clutching her stomach. She just couldn't figure out why she felt so sick. Was it something she ate? The last thing she ate was lunch, where they went out to a random hamburger joint. Well…this is certainly the last time she eats any American food! (A/N: Not bashing hamburgers or Americans! Lol, I love hamburgers but I was trying to think of a juicy food. Also, hamburgers can get u sick if they aren't cooked correctly so that was the only food that I could think of to make her sick)

Lily, feeling as if eating lunch was a bad idea, covered her mouth and ran into a stall.

"Lily!?" Bree asked, coming into the bathroom, "You've been gone for a long time, are you going to be okay?"

"I think I'll be fine." Lily said coming out of the stall, holding her stomach.

"Lil, maybe you should go to the hospital." Bree suggested, "Ashley thinks that's a good idea as well."

"I think it is too," Lily sighed, "I just don't want to miss Ashley's dinner."

"Don't worry," Bree smiled, "But I'd be worried if you miss her wedding because then she'd kill you."

"Yeah," I laughed slightly.

"Oh, by the way James and Sirius are here." Bree said casually.

"Oh!" Lily said grabbing her stomach and running into a stall.

"Lily?" Bree said rushing into the stall to help her friend. "I think you need to get some medicine for this."

"You think?" she asked.

"Definitely." Bree replied, "I'll go outside and let Ashley know."

"Okay, I'll be there in a minute."

Bree walked out of the bathroom and passed James, who was heading towards the men's bathroom, but got sidetracked by one of Remus' relatives.

"Ash?" Bree said, sitting down in Lily's seat next to Ashley, "Lily's really sick. I think she needs some medicine."

"Okay," Ashley replied, "I understand. Do you want to go with her?"

"I'll go find out." Bree said standing back up.

Bree headed to the bathroom and met James on the way there.

"Hey, Turner, how are you?" He grinned.

"Fine," she smiled back, "Just helping out a friend."

"That's nice." He smiled opening the door to the men's bathroom and looking in, "Wow! This place is amazing!"

Bree laughed as she saw James playing with the soap dispenser before the door shut and she headed into the women's bathroom.

"Lil?" Bree called into the empty bathroom.

"Yeah?" Lily asked weakly.

"You still feeling bad?" Bree asked, putting her arm around Lily's shoulders.

"Kind of," Lily shrugged.

"Okay," she stated, "Do you want me to come with you?"

"No," Lily sighed, "One of us should stay here with Ashley."

"You sure?"

"Yeah," Lily replied, "Come on, I'll grab my coat than apparate in here since no one's in here."

"Alright," Bree said as they both headed out of the bathroom.

They headed threw the hallway back towards the table where Sirius hugged Lily tightly and she begged Ashley for forgiveness before grabbing her coat and purse, and headed back to the bathroom.

Not even a second after the women's door closed and an apparating popping sound was heard, the men's bathroom door and James strolled out, heading back towards the dinner party, casually scanning the crowd for a familiar redhead.
