'No, Lily, I won't change it!' Melody yelled furiously. 'Will you please calm down? I know it's your wedding day and that you're supposed to be nervous, but this is way over the edge.'

Lily, who was seated on the chair in front of the mirror, smiled sheepishly and sighed. 'I know, Melody, and I'm sorry, but I can't help it! What if something goes wrong?'

Melody smiled reassuringly to her best friend. She had long wavy brown hair and piercing gray eyes. It was Lily's wedding day, and it was the tenth time the redhead had asked her to change her hairstyle and makeup.

'Don't worry, Lily, you'll do just fine.'

'I hope you're right, Melody. I really do' the redhead said, her green eyes filled with angst.

The wedding was to take place at Hogwarts, and Albus Dumbledore had kindly accepted to give Lily away, her parents being in a cruise in Italy. After graduating from Hogwarts both Lily's parents has asked her to come back 'to live normally', as they put it. Lily, of course, hadn't agreed, and instead went living with Melody.

She hadn't talked to them since. She had sent them an invitation, to both of them and to Petunia to the wedding, but they had only answered that 'Sadly, we can't make it'. Petunia hadn't answered anything at all.

Now, Lily was going to join her life to James' forever. She shivered in anticipation as she thought of him and his mischievous hazel eyes.

In the Potter Mansion, one particular boy was nervous.

'Sirius, will you please calm down?' James asked him. When Sirius didn't stop pacing around the room, James turned to Remus for help. 'I swear, it's like he's getting married!'

Remus smiled, but didn't have the time to say anything as he was interrupted by Sirius who, unfortunately, had heard James' comment.

'I play a very important part in the wedding. Without me, it simply couldn't happen', he said, ignoring Remus' snorting.

James silenced him before he went into another of his ranting of the day. Then, to Remus, he said 'Come on, help me get him to Hogwarts.'

They both took each an arm of Sirius' –Peter wasn't there, his parents hadn't let him come – and Disapparated.

Finally, the music started playing softly in the Great Hall, and Melody entered, carrying a bouquet of lilies that matched her white silk gown.

Then, Lily entered, and James immediately made eye contact. He wanted her to know he was there. As she approached yet closer, his eyes lingered on her silhouette and he gulped.

She was looking gorgeous, as per usual. The embroided corset was tight on her waist, yet not too much and the rest of the beautiful dress fell graciously on her body. Her auburn hair was let loose on her back, curled at the end, and on the top of her head was placed a small tiara that gave her an air of royalty.

Finally, Dumbledore handed James her hand, saying so that only he and Lily could hear 'May your love be everlasting', and James saw that the old man had tears in his eyes.

Then, it was time for the vows.

'I, James Harold Potter, vow to love and protect you, Lily Evans, till death do us part. To always be your side, whether in good times or bad. I give you this ring' He turned to Sirius who proudly handed him the golden circle –hey, he hadn't lost it! – 'as proof of my everlasting love.'

He slid the ring on Lily's hand, smiling at her.

'I, Lily Evans, vow to love and protect you, James Potter, till death do us part. To always be there for you, and never leave your side. I give you this ring ' She turned to Melody, who handed her the ring 'as proof of my unconditional love.'

She slid the small golden circle on James' finger.

'With the power entrusted in me by the Wizarding community' the old man preceding the wedding said 'I now present to you the new Mr. and Mrs. Potter. You may now kiss the bride.'

James bent and slowly kissed Lily's lips waiting lips.

They pulled apart just time to hear Sirius shout 'It's time to paaaaaaaarty!'

Well, ladies and gentlemen, this is how Lily Evans became Lily Potter.
