August came and it seemed like they had all left the thoughts of Hogwarts behind. Lily had moved in with Sirius, much to the annoyance of her mother. Even though it was only a small flat, she found it didn't matter because she had used magic to make sure thart even though the place was messy and crowded with stuff, there was still room to move. Although the only downside to her moving in with him was that she now had to live with the annoying little traits he had.
"I can't believe you convinced me to do this." Lily smiled, turning to face Sirius
"I though I'd have had to persuade you more actually." Sirius admitted, "But I'm glad you did. I get lonely without you."
Lily giggled.
"You're like a lovesick puppy."
Sirius pouted. Something which Lily said he did best.
"I'm not a puppy. I'm a dog. These a difference!"
Lily rolled her eyes and Sirius kissed her nose.
"How much stuff do you own?" Sirius asked disbelivengly as he looked at all the boxes filled with Lily's stuff.
"A lot!"
"What is it with girls and collecting junk?"
"I do not collect junk!" Lily said defensively
Sirius pulled her in for a kiss, wrapping his arms around her. He pulled her onto the couch but quickly jumped up when he sat on the remote for the CD player and music came blasting out of it. Lily burst into hysterics and fell off the couch. Tears fell down her cheeks from laughing.
"That wasn't funny!" He whined
"Oh yes it was!"
Sirius got up and began tickling her.
"Take it back and I'll stop." He said
"No way!" she giggled
Two weeks later and everyone was excited about the wedding but it wasn't until the morning of the wedding that nerves began to show. The Marauders were their usual calm and collected selves but the girls were running around like headless chickens.
"I can't do this!" Hannah announced, locked herself into the bathroom and immeadiatly threw up.
Lily knocked on the door.
"Hannah?" She said, "Hannah come out!"
She opened the door and Lily said
"You look like hell."
"Thanks!" She muttered sarcastically
"It's nerves." Carolyn told her, "Everyone gets them."
"If it's nerves then why do I feel like running away to the furthest place possible?" She asked
"Sit down here." Lily said, pointing to a chair "We'll do your hair and you can tell us what's on your mind."
Hannah sighed, she sat down and told them.
"I got the whole fairytale wedding, everything a girl wants but somehow I still feel like something is missing from the picture. I'm marrying my best friend and getting everything I've ever wanted but I still feel incomplete andI shouldn't feel like this! Especially not on my wedding day."
She started to cry and her three friends comforted her, reassuring her that everything was going to be okay.
"Maybe it's because you want your family here." Clare said, "For the past seven years you always said you'd've liked to have your mum back."
"But my mum can't come back." Hannah sighed, she looked in the mirror and her reflection showed a frightened girl, not knowing what to do.
"Come on." Lily said, "We best get ready or we're gonna be seriously late."
"The bride is meant to be late!" The other three laughed
"You know what I mean!" Lily laughed
Meanwhile the boys were calmer than the girls except there was more pacing going on.
"Will you sit down!" Sirius snapped at Remus, "You're making me nervous."
"Excuse me but you're not the one getting married."
"At least it's you she's marrying." Sirius said
"What do you mean?" Remus asked
"What he means." James answered, "is that he wouldn't let anyone else marry Hannah."
Sirius nodded in agreement
"I trust you, so I know you'll look after her and treat her right and if it was anyone else I'd probably have either warned them off or be laying into them."
"Sirius, I'd be the same with her if I wasn't about to marry her." Remus reponded, "She's been my best friend since like forever. I'd be telling her she's making the wrong decision."
James laughed and they looked at him.
"God, you'd think she was eight not eighteen the way you two are going on. I almost feel sorry for her knowing you two."
"Enough of this." Remus said, "Before I say something I'll regret later."
"So..."
There was an awkward silence.
"So how are things with you and Lily?" James asked Sirius
"They're going great, well since she's moved in. It's been really chaotic these last few weeks trying to get her stuff sorted and everything. Her mum doesn't approve though, something about she's too young, she hardly knows me, I have hair problems andI live in a flat so I'm no good. The hardly knows bit ain't true because i've known her for 7 years, I do not have hair problems, and just because I live in a flat doesn't make me no good." Sirius answered, "That's what she told her mum."
"What about the too young bit?"
"She didn't say."
"We're gonna have to go." Sirius said, looking at the clock
Outside the church the limosine pulled up and the girls got out, helping Hannah get out along the way. Having her cursing that she was not ever going to get married again because it was too much hassle to get out of a limosine. Them being late meant they almost ran to the doors and they were greeted by Sirius.
"You're late!" He laughed
They glared at him.
"So where's Hannah?"
They moved and revealed Hannah and Sirius' jaw dropped. Standing in front of him may have been his sister but she looked totally different. Her hair was in soft brown curls and her dress showed her curves. Her face had more colour in it and her eyes sparkled.
"Wow!" He breathed and she smiled
"So how do I look?" She asked
"I think the wow pretty much covers it." Sirius said, "So you scared?"
"Nope." She answered, "I'm absolutely bloody terrified."
Sirius laughed. The music started and they began walking down the aisle. Hannah held her breath, desperatly trying not to look at anyone. She found it took an age to reach the alter and when she did, Remus took hold of her hand, almost as a reassurance.
The priest greeted the congregation by asking
"If anyone here know why these to people should not be married speak now or forever hold your peace."
When no one spoke he went on and said why they were there. He went into readings and prayers and then finally the vows.
"Do you Remus John Lupin take Hannah Caldwell to be your lawful wedded wife? To have an to hold for as long as you both shall live?"
"I do."
"And will you. havelove and cherish herfrom this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do you part."
"I will."
"And do you Hannah Caldwell take Remus John Lupinto be your lawful wedded husband? To have an to hold for as long as you both shall live?"
"I do."
"And will you. havelove and cherishhimfrom this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do you part."
"I will."
"Do we have the rings?" James passed the rings over.
Remus took one and said
"I give you this ring as a token of my love for you." and slid the ring ontoHannah's finger.
Hannah took the other ring and repated the asme words, putting it onto Remus' finger.
"I now pronounce you husband and wife, you may now kiss the bride."
And Remus lifted Hannah'sveil and kissed herpassionatley.
Am so sorry but I didn't know where else to end it! Only 2 more chapters left!
