Everyone was delighted to hear Emma and Sirius' news which made it a lot easier for them. Emma was still a little un sure, but didn't like to say anything as she was sure by the time she had the baby she would learn how to be a good mum but at the moment she was only one month pregnant.

New Years Eve was now only one day away, and as the boys had left everything to the last minute to arrange their party everyone had to pitch in to help.

"Well at least they invited guests." Lily said as she walked around the shops picking up party food.

"Yeah but a fat lot of good that would have been if they didn't even buy food make at least put some decorations up." Emma said who was walking along side her. She was glad to get out of the house at the moment. This was because of Sirius, he was driving her mad, he seemed to think that because she was pregnant she couldn't do anything for herself, he didn't seem to realize that the baby was only the size of a peanut.

Lily and Emma had be given the task of shopping for food, hence the reason they were trawling through the shops, Jess and Laura were buying decorations and the boys were tidy thing their flat so it at least looked presentable.

A new year was bringing many changes with it, Lily and Emma would be getting married, not to each other! Emma and Sirius would be becoming parents, something no one would have predicted this time last year.

Jess and Laura sat in the Leaky Cauldron with a bag of decorations, laura had seemed distracted all day.

"Laura is everything all right?" Jess asked.

"Yeah, why?" Laura asked.

"You just seem a little distant, like your mind is somewhere else." Jess said.

Laura just shrugged.

"You're only ever like this when there's a boy involved." Jess said, "so who is he," she asked gearing herself up for a bit of gossip.

"There's no one," Laura said a little unconvincingly.

"Come off it Laura," Jess said.

"Really." Laura said a smile curling at the corners of her mouth as she spoke.

"Fine don't tell me." Jess said huffily, "but I think it's very good that you have a new boyfriends after the whole Remus fiasco."

Laura frowned, "you defiantly think that there is no chance what so ever of us ever getting back together."

"Well you didn't really break up on the best of terms, but you are kind of friends now, but I think that you and him are a con of worms that you don't really want to open again." Jess said. "What do you ask?"

"No reason." Laura said just wondered.

The next day was new years eve, all they girls had set aside the day for getting ready, while the boys hung the decorations and laid out the food.

"I can't believe that this time next year I'll be married with a child." Emma said as she put her hand on her non existing bump to see if she could feel the baby.

"I know and I'm going to be married." Lily said.

"What will I be doing?" Jess wondered. "I'll probably still be living here, single and still working in th muggle relations office, how exciting!" She mocked.

"You never know what life will throw at you." Lily said.

"Yeah," Emma said, "you might be dead."

"Emma." Lily said.

"Only joking." She said.

"I wonder if Voldemort will be gone by then." Lily asked. "I mean with everything the orders doing at the moment he's bound to be stopped soon."

"But the only person powerful enough to do that is Dumbledore and he's not getting any younger." Jess said

"Well I'm surprised the ministry hasn't done anything yet." Emma said, "with all hose Aurors you think they would plan an attack or something."

"It's not as simple as that, if anyone was going to stop him it would be the order, the ministry probably don't even know where he is." Lily said.

"I suppose." Emma said, "well anyway I'm going to get dressed."

Lily went into her bedroom and pulled on her cloths and straightened her hair with her wand.

Her eyes scanned the room, they settled on a picture of her with her parents and Petunia. Petunia didn't look best pleased about having her picture taken, especially in the same picture as Lily as she knew she would make her look even more ugly.

Lily sighed it was so sad, he parents were gone and she never spoke to her sister, maybe she should tell her about her engagement. You never know she might have grown up and be ready to accept her as a witch, and James as a wizard.

She sat in thought for a moment about when she was younger and lived with her parents and Petunia. He and Petunia had got on, well most of the time anyway, but after she got accepted into Hogwarts Petunia turned on her. Lily knew it was because she was jealous but I still hurt at first, then Petunia got it into her head that their parents loved Lily more because she was a witch.

Lily had always imagined her wedding as a little girl, and she had always imagined her parents and Petunia in the front row smiling at her. Her parents couldn't be there but at least Petunia could, it was worth a try making peace even if it didn't work.

It was getting close to mid night and everyone was packed into the boy's flat for the party. Everyone was having a great time, Jess ad Remus were sitting in the kitchen driving butter beer and talking about their new year.

"I've got a new job." Remus whispered in Jess' ear over the nose, "I'm working as a tutor for some rich family that don't want to send their children to Hogwarts."

"That's great," Jess said smiling, you'll make a great teacher, and maybe one day you might teach at Hogwarts."

"You never know what might happen." Remus said and their eyes met for a second before they both looked away.

"It's nearly mid night." Jess said looking at her watch.

"Do you want to dance?" Remus asked.

Jess' heart skipped a beat, "sure." She said and they took to the dance floor.

Emma and Sirius were dancing near by, "are you sure you're OK dancing, not too much strain is it? We don't want t hurt the baby."

Emma rolled her eyes, "Jesus Sirius, the baby is this big," she indicated with her fingers, "it doesn't even know it's alive yet! And I'm not going t strain myself I barley even one month pregnant."

"Oh." Sirius said, "well then this won't hurt it then." He said ad he pulled Emma in so their bodies were pressed against each other and he planted a passionate kiss on her lips.

"Hey break it up, you're meant to do that at mid night." James said.

Sirius broke out of the kiss, my watch is fast." Sirius said cheekily.

"Right everyone." James shouted to everyone in the room, "grab some one to smooch coz it's nearly mid-night!"

"10.………………… 9.…………………." Everyone shouted.

Jess and Remus were standing together as they counted, they kept catching the others eyes, smiling then looking away.

"8.……………………… 7.……………………… 6.………………………….. 5.…………………."

They were getting closer and closer to each other as they shouted the numbers, "4.……………………………... 3.……………………………..." Their faces were inches away from each others now, "2.……………………………...," Their lips were close to meeting , " 1." Their lips met as everyone shouted happy new year, they block out the sound from around them as they kissed. Jess wrapped her hand around Remus' neck and Remus pulled her body into his as the kiss deepened.

Jess was buzzing, her body tingling. It started from her lips the moment they started to kiss and it spread all over her body, her heart was pounding and she never wanted the kiss to end.

The cheers died down and the music started again when they pulled away, they just looked at each other and smiled before launching into another amazing kiss.

I know you all wanted Jess and Remus together, so there we are, I hope this is satisfactory, but just because they kiss doesn't meant everything will run smoothly for them……… I will say no more I don't want to give it away.

Anyway hope you enjoyed this last chapter, I wrote it while I was off sick this week, poor me!

Don't forget to review!
