Disclaimer: Obviously all the wonderful characters and names belong to the illustrious J.K. Rowling. I could only hope to be half the author she is, but here's my humble work of fan fiction anyway.
Okay.
Today's the day.
I can't believe Prongs is getting married. I can't believe Prongs is getting married to Lily. How in the name of Merlin did he get a woman like her?
He looks nervous. Nervous and excited. And so unbelievably happy. Like his greatest dream is coming true.
How I wish I could be that happy. How I wish I had someone to love like that. How I wish that someone were Lily.
How I wish I were James Potter.
James is loyal and true. He knew he had found his destiny the moment he met Lily – although it took him a few years to figure out how to convince her of that.
And why shouldn't he love her? I do.
I want Lily Evans to love me. I think she may be the only girl I would settle down for. I know why James loves her so – not only is she beautiful, she's also kind and forgiving.
She does have quite a temper though. What they say about redheads is true.
Maybe that's why I love her – she has a fiery spirit. She's so full of life. I just love people like that. It's undoubtedly why James is my best mate. No – my brother.
Remus just came by and gave us a smile and a thumbs up. That's the five minutes signal.
Time to put the game face on. I sling an arm around James' shoulder and we head off to the alter where I'll watch my brother marry the woman of my dreams. I'll do this because I love them both too much to keep such obvious soul mates apart.
And because she doesn't love me that way.
