It was the day of the wedding. Holly had never seen Lily look so beautiful. Her red hair was such a beautiful contrast to her white dress. Lily couldn't be happier. Holly found it funny that both Lily and James were wearing expressions like they were overly exited five year olds. Except for the fact that James was actually bouncing slightly on the balls of his feet, at the end of the isle. Everyone started lining up at the back of the church. Peter and Jenny walked down first, followed by Remus and Lonna.

"Are you ready Miss Evans to give our two best friends away?" Sirius whispered in her ear right before they walked down.

"Not really. But I don't think James can wait any longer. Look at him." they both gave a small laugh. They walked down the isle towards the front of the church. They both were finding it hard to keep straight faces. The end of the isle came too quickly. They broke away and everyone stood to watch Lily walk down the isle.

The wedding went by rather quickly. Before she knew it Holly found herself standing in the Reception Hall with a glass of champagne watching James and Lily take their first dance as a married couple. Holly couldn't help but wonder when she'd be doing this. As kids Lily and Holly had planned each other's weddings. As they grew older their ideas of the perfect husband, and the perfect dress, flowers, and everything else evolved and became realistic. Lily had found her knight in shining armor. Holly wondered she'd get hers. Or if she'd get hers at all. In the back of her mind something told her that she would have to wait a long time for that day. And part of that, told her it wouldn't happen at all. She took a long swig of her drink and reached for another one.

"Aren't you starting a little early?" Remus asked her.

"No." she smiled.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing. Look how happy they are."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah. Remus, she's my best friend. It was a wonderful day, and things are getting better and better. How could I not be happy for her?"

"Because you want this too."

"Doesn't every girl?"

"Not all."

"Most."

"True. Just keep it easy on the drinks."

"Don't worry. I will. I won't be making a fool out of myself at my best friend's wedding." she gave Remus a genuine smile. "I just thought of something. I'm related to James now. Hahaha."

"My deepest sympathies." Remus let out a loud laugh.

The first song had ended and it was time for the wedding party to join the new couple. Sirius began to walk over to Holly to claim his dance. Lily and Holly exchanged excited looks. Before the song began Holly had to hug her.

"I'm so proud of you Lily. And I'm still finding it funny that you married the one person you swore you'd never get married too. Congratulations."

"Thank you. I'm so glad you could be here. It wouldn't be the same. Now, go over there, and soon enough we'll be planning your wedding." Lily winked as James swept her back onto the dance floor, and Sirius did the same.

"You look so beautiful Lovely. I love the way the green lights up your eyes." she blushed. "And you're even prettier when you blush."

"Sirius you look very handsome in your tux."

"It's not powder blue but it works." Holly laughed.

"I wish you guys would have taken pictures of you trying on those suits."

"Me too. I could have used them as blackmail against James."

"That's exactly what I was thinking." they danced without saying anything for a while.

"I've missed you." he said suddenly.

"It's only been a week."

"Seems like so much longer."

"Sirius…" he began to move closer, closing the gap between their heads, when the music ended, and Holly realized that this was Lily's day, not hers.

"Remus!" Sirius called out. "How about a dance with your old buddy?" Remus moved away from Sirius as fast as he could without causing a scene. Sirius followed.

"What do you want?" Remus said when Sirius finally cornered him in the men's room five minutes later.

"A dance with my best friend."

"Well, James is a bit occupied right now. What do you really want?"

"To talk to you."

"In the men's room?" Remus found this odd.

"I'll make it worth your while." Sirius raised his eyebrows.

"In the men's room?" Remus repeated.

"Naturally Moony! Where's your sense of adventure?"

"Not in the men's room."

"Or on the dance floor either, so are you going to have this little conversation with me?"

"Outside of leaving the men's room, what's in it for me?"

"Chocolate?"

"Damn you. Alright, what do you want?" Remus said pushing open the door to the hallway.

"I need a quick crash course on being a gentleman."

"Why?" Remus eyed him suspiciously wondering how much Sirius had to drink.

"Why do you think?" Sirius smacks the palm of his hand to his forehead for dramatic effect.

"Oh, come now Pads, she'll never buy that gentleman act. She knows you too well."

"Good point. Then how about a crash course on how to sweep a girl off her feet?"

"The great woman's man Sirius Black is asking me for help?"

"Do you want to go back into the men's room?" Remus grabbed a drink off a passing waiter and he began to have a long talk with Sirius.
