A/N: Well, the last chapter kind of sucked, I hope this one makes up for it. It is entirely focused around one of Remus' memories, and tells of James' proposal to Lily. Please Review, if you find the time. Enjoy.

Remus Lupin sat at the kitchen table, a few tears glistening down his face. Sitting in front of him was a picture, one that he had kept with him from the time it had been developed. It was the Messrs Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs, standing together in front of the Three Broomsticks. Next to James was Lily, smiling widely, and Sirius and Remus were holding hands. Peter was sort of put-out in this picture, since he was a bit off to the side. For a brief moment, Remus wondered if that was the reason he turned to Voldermort, because even his best friends didn't give him enough attention.

"Come on Moony!" Sirius groaned, dragging Remus by the arm of his cloak, "Get in for the picturrreee!" Remus tried to protest, but Sirius gave him a pouty-face and he couldn't keep himself from melting. He took his spot in-between Sirius and Peter, who was quickly trying to cram a whole chocolate frog in his mouth, and sighed. He didn't want to take this picture, because he felt that if he did, it would make him realize that they were out of Hogwarts, and that they wouldn't be going back. James stood next to Sirius, grinning ear to ear as he wrapped his arms around Lily's waist. Remus smiled slightly, happy to see that James and Lily were together, and would, hopefully, be together for a long time. Lily didn't know it, but James was going to propose to her that night. They began setting it up right after James got the first date, that was how sure he was about being with her forever.

The girl working the camera, one of Lily's friends, told them that she was ready to take the picture. Sirius grabbed Remus' hand and squeezed it lightly, and Remus squeezed back just as the picture was taken.

"Come on, Prongs, be a man!" Sirius said jokingly, trying to get James to follow through with the plan. Remus sat there quietly, but when James said a firm 'No' to Sirius, Remus finally spoke up.

"You spent six years trying to get her, and you finally did. Now you are out of school, so come on then! Propose!" He smiled, hoping James would listen to him.

James looked dumbfounded, "I was expecting you to say something like 'Your rushing this! Give it another year!'" James laughed, "But if you, the voice of reason in the group, want me to propose, then I will!" He slapped Remus on the shoulder and clamored onto the table, standing up with a grin on his face. Remus flicked his wand and banners shot all across the room, and Sirius flicked his to make the lights go out and an assortment of heart shaped candles appear. The candles seemed to be singing, a chorus of sweet violins and other classical instruments filling the pub as the flames burned. Lily gasped when she saw this, then looked up at James, who got down on one knee and spoke, "Lily Evans, I have loved you since our first year at Hogwarts. You thought I was an egotistical, pigheaded jerk for about six of those Hogwarts years, and I relentlessly chased after you, desperately in love. Then, in our last year, you finally said yes and we spent a good eight months as a couple in school. Now, I believe I have loved you long enough to know that what I am about to say, I will never take back," He nodded to Remus, who again flicked his wand. The candles went out, extinguishing their flames and music, and the lights went back on to reveal a crowd that they all knew well. Dumbledore sat next to Professor Slughorn, smiling at Lily, and all of Lily's friends stood scattered around the room. Dumbledore made a slight flick of his wand, to help James out, and the table he was kneeling on began to lift into the air and circle Lily. James smiled, then finished his proposal.

"Lily Evans, will you marry me?" The table stopped right in front of her, then floated back to the ground. She answered by climbing on to the table and kissing James, her arms wrapped tightly around him. The whole room clapped and Dumbledore rose from his seat.

"I think this calls for some butterbeer!" Dumbledore strode to the front and ordered a butterbeer for every person in there, which was quite a feet since it was filled to almost capacity.

Sirius kissed Remus passionately, as if it were their last. James and Lily had just gotten married, a short three months after James' proposal. Sirius was joking about how hard James had worked to get it put together in time.

"He must've worked harder than he ever did in school to get this together so fast!" He had said, smiling. Remus had just congratulated Lily and James, and grabbed Sirius and dragged him outside, walking around the flowers and shrubs in the area.

"I love you, Sirius." He said softly, burying his face in Sirius' neck.

"I love you too Remus, but why do you sound so sad?" Sirius replied, concern showing in his voice.

Remus just gave Sirius a weak smile and led him back inside to watch James and Lily dance and laugh, this was the happiest Remus had ever seen James.

"I...Love you, Sirius." Remus choked out. Though his tears had gone away, his pain hadn't.

That was the last photograph that had been taken with the group. Soon after the photo, Peter had become distant, most likely beginning his involvement with the Death Eaters.

Remus lay his head down on the table and fell asleep, wishing that he could sink into the picture and live happily with Sirius.
