Lily and James were sat in the Potter Manor discussing the arrangements for their upcoming wedding. So far they had decided on a date, the 20th March. It was to be a spring wedding and defiantly more a muggle affair rather then a wizarding one.
Lily was to wear an amazing white gown like she had imagined as a little girl and James would be her handsome prince all dressed in a suit.
"So how may are we expecting from the Evans side?" Mrs Potter asked.
"Um, I'd like to invite some of my aunts and uncles and some cousins, but I don't have any of their addresses, Petunia, my sister, must have my mum's old address book." Lily said, "and my sister and I don't really get on, as a matter of fact she hates me."
"That's terrible." Mrs Potter said frowning, "maybe you should invite her to the wedding as a peace offering."
"I suppose I could give it a try." Lily said, "but you're coming with me, for support." She said tapping James' chest.
James and lily stood out side number 4 Privet Drive, Petunia's place of residence. Lily had made sure that they looked exactly like muggles so Petunia couldn't pick holes in their appearances. She was wearing a pair of tight hip hugging bootleg jeans and a pink coat the covered her top underneath, while Jams looked like any ordinary man with a pair of jeans and a jacket.
Lily took a deep breath to calm her nerves.
"All the houses on this street look the same." James said looking up and down the street, "it's boring, I want a house with loads of character."
"Well Petunia doesn't like to stand out, she like being, well, normal." Lily said.
James looked at Lily, she looked worried, he pulled her into a hug, "stop worrying, if your sister doesn't like you she's not good enough to come to our wedding." He said in her ear and he kissed her head.
Lily nodded and smiled.
"Now lets get inside, it's cold out here." James said and Lily pressed the bell.
They waited for a few moments before Petunia answered the door.
"Hello." She said through tight lips.
"Hi Petunia." Lily said smiling at her older sister, "um, this is James."
"Nice to meet you." James said flashing her a charming smile and extending a hand.
Petunia's expression softened for a moment when James smiled but she didn't shake his hand she just started at him.
"I suppose you're one of them as well?" She asked keeping her voice down.
"I don't know what you're talking about." James said looking puzzled.
"A…… a…….. wizard." She said barley above a whisper.
"Oh, yes." James said.
Petunia's expression hardened, "well are you going to invite us in?" Lily asked.
Petunia stepped aside to let her sister and James in.
"Well," James said, "this is a very………….. Very…………. Clean house you have here." He finished, it looked more like a show home then a real one.
"Thank you." Petunia said through tight lips, it seemed she wasn't in a mood for talking.
They followed her through into a kitchen/dining room where there were four plates set out and a rather hefty looking man sitting in one of the places.
"Vernon, this is Lily, my sister, and James her friend." Petunia said with very little emotion at all.
"Nice to meet you." Lily said and she shook his hand.
"Vernon was it?" James asked holding back a smirk.
"Yes," he replied, "so tell me what line of work are you in?"
"Well," James started and he was about to tell him about his Auror training when Lily jumped in.
"We both work in law enforcement." She said.
"What like the police for your lot?" He asked.
"Kind of." Lily said.
They spent a few more minuets making forced conversation before Petunia put a roast chicken down on the table with various different pots with vegetables and potatoes in.
"This looks lovely Petunia." James said.
"Thank you," she said and she daintily picked up some peas.
"Well Petunia there was actually a reason we cane round to see you," Lily said.
"Oh?" Petunia said setting down her knife and fork, "and what is that?"
"Well, James and I are getting married soon, and we would really like it if you would come along." Lily said, "I know we haven't really had the best relationship in the past few years. But I would really like to bury the hatchet for my big day."
There was silence after Lily finished.
"Please," James said, "it would mean a lot to us if you would be there."
All eyes were on Petunia, as they waited for her to say something.
"Well, I don't know how you have the nerve to come here, bold as brass after you killed our parents and invite m to your "big day", do you even care that I told you that I never wanted to see you again." Petunia said trying to keep her voice calm, "do you really think I want to go to your wedding?"
"I did not kill mum and dad," Lily said looking at the tablecloth.
"What ever it was one of your lot that killed them, if you had never been so abnormal then it would never have happened." Petunia spat.
"That's it, I was trying to be nice, I wanted to bury the hatchet for mum and dad's sake because I didn't think they would want us to fight, but if you're too jealous of me to do that then fine." Lily said, standing up, "come on James we're leaving."
James did as he was told and followed Lily, the last time he had seen her this angry was when he had accidentally set a hippogriff on her and it ate her hat.
"Excuse me, when have I ever been jealous of you?" Petunia asked following her sister.
"the day I got into Hogwarts and you didn't." Lily snapped, "now I'm sorry I ever came to your abnormally clean house, I should have know you were too petty to try and forgive and forget."
Lily them stormed over to the door pulling James behind her out into the street and slammed the door as hard as she could.
"Are you aright?" James asked.
"No," Lily replied, "I hate her so much!"
"Don't worry, I glad she's not coming to our wedding, she's too bony and thin," James said
Lily smiled slightly then frowned, "I didn't get the address book." She said.
"Don't worry I can take care of that." James said with a mischievous grin.
He whipped out his wand and muttered, "accio address book." They then heard a shrill scream coming from inside the house as the book came floating out of the letter box.
They both laughed as James grabbed the address book nd ran out of sight as Vernon opened the door.
"What was that?" He asked no one. "come on I know you're out here, I want to know what you just did?"
Lily and James had to bite their lips to stop them selves to burst out laughing.
They heard Vernon close and they came out of their hiding place.
Lily linked to James' arm and they walked down the street, "thank you." She said.
"What for?" James asked.
"For cheering me up." Lily said.
"Well what can I say? I love you." James said.
Lily smiled and they stopped into middle of the street and kissed.
"You know I wasn't sure that you would want to marry me." Lily said, "I never thought that you were the type to be tied down."
"Being married to you wouldn't e tying me down, it would be giving me everything I ever wanted, and making me the happiest man alive." James said and he pulled Lily into a deep passion filled kiss.
Lily giggled as she returned the kiss and pushed her body against his.
"I know," James said and pulled Lily into one of those public toilets on the street.
"In here?" Lily asked.
James nodded mischievously, "it'll be something to tell our children."
"I doubt that very much." Lily said in between kisses.
Lily and James stepped out of the public toilet onto the street straightening themselves down as they went.
"I can't believe that we just did that," Lily said and she kissed James again.
"Neither can I Mudblood, that's utterly disgusting." Came a voice from behind them.
"What the?" James asked as he felt a wand poking him in the back.
"Shut up Potter, I don't want to hear a word out of you, we don't want you." A voice said, James recognised it from somewhere.
He heard Lily screaming and tired to turn round.
"If you move we'll kill you and her." The voice said again.
"James," Lily almost screamed.
"Silence," a second voice shouted, this time female and she put a silencing curse on Lily.
"Say goodbye to your Mudblood," the voice said, and they stunned James before disappearing.
