"That is so sweet!" both Marissa and Lily cooed at the same time. Kiah and Remus were standing in the middle of the living room in Lily and James' house. Remus has his arms around Kiah's waist, Kiah was leaning her back against his chest, and both had complete happiness shining in their eyes.

"What happened after you said yes?" Lily asked urgently.

Kiah smiled, Remus arms tightening around her. "Well, we just sat there I guess, and just enjoyed being with each other."

"When is the wedding?" Marissa asked.

"We were hoping to have it in a month," Remus said.

Lily and Marissa gasped. "Come on! We have no time to loose to get planning! Luckily we just did mine, so we know the basis of it!" Lily said hurriedly, dragging Kiah away. Kiah blew a kiss to Remus as Remus caught it and Apparated to Sirius' apartment.

When he arrived, he saw chaos in front of him. Sirius was running into the bedroom and slamming the door. James shot a spell out just as the door closed. "SIRIUS!" James yelled pounding on the door. There was ice all over the floor and the carpet was soaked with water. There was a small fire on a lamp and the kitchen had food all over the floor and walls.

Sighing heavily, Remus went over to James and pulled him away from the door. "What happened?"

"Well, Sirius snuck into our house last night and made it snow all over Lily and I. I woke up with pneumonia, but luckily Lily got rid of it. So I came here this morning with ice and I put it down Sirius shirt and pants and then threw ice cubes at him. Then he started shooting water out of his wand and we got into a water fight. Then he threw a cheese ball at me! So we started a food fight. He is such a coward, he just ran to his room! I'm not finished with him yet!" James said in one great rush of breath, continuing banging on the door.

Sirius opened it fast and James, whose weight was leaning on the door, fell with a loud thud. "First of all, you threw the cheese ball first. Secondly, I didn't run away until I shot a few spells out at you too!"

Remus was trying his best to conceal a grin. "Maybe you guys need to be put in time out, since your obviously three year olds."

"This means war!" James growled, completely ignoring Remus.

"You better be prepared to lose!" Sirius said confidently.

"Guys…" Remus started.

"Me? Lose? May I remind you who ran away and got scared after I said a simple spell?" James said.

"A simple spell! That gave me boils in a very private place!" Sirius said, wincing at the memory.

"Well you did the same to me when I was six!"

"Guys!" Remus said more firmly.

"Get over it James! That was twelve years ago!"

"I didn't run away back then! I hit you with a tennis ball!" James said, changing the subject.

"GUYS!" Remus yelled.

They continued to ignore him, yelling at each other. Finally Remus conjured two snowballs and threw each one at their heads. Both turned to him, blinking stupidly through the snow.

"Two things, number one, you guys are acting so immature. Number two, I proposed to Kiah last night and she said yes and we are getting married in a month. Have fun with your war!" Remus said calmly, Apparating to the girl's apartment.

Kiah, Lily, and Marissa were all there with a million wedding references spread out on the floor and couches. Kiah looked up when she heard a pop and smiled, standing up and giving him a hug.

"You will not believe what Sirius and James are doing right now," Remus said.

"Having an ice, water, food, and hex fight?" Kiah put it. Remus looked at her questionably and Kiah gave a small smile. "We checked Lily's mirror to see where you guys were and we saw the whole thing. Did you resolve it?"

Remus laughed. "No, I think I'm apart of their war now. I threw a snowball at each of them and Apparated quickly before they tackled me."

Just then Sirius and James appeared, both grinning evilly. They had a few water balloons and they threw them all at Remus at the same time. Kiah jumped back with a squeal to avoid getting wet, as she was standing right next to Remus. They waved and Apparated quickly.

Remus shook his head and wiped the excess water off his robes. "This is so war! Lily can I use your mirror?" Remus said.

Lily nodded. "It's in the living room. Good luck and tell James I love him!"

"That's not likely, Lily," Marissa said, smiling as Remus Apparated to Lily and James' house, leaving a small puddle of water on the floor.

"I really wish we could see this, it would be so funny to watch," Lily said.

"Oh yes, remember that horrific snowball fight back in second year? They were in the hospital wing for a long time," Marissa said.

"I was crying I was laughing so hard when I saw that! They get so serious about it!" Lily said, laughing.

Kiah grinned. "I have an idea, we could join in this war and win."

There was a silence, then Marissa smiled and said, "Tell us more…"

In the meantime, Remus had just Apparated to Lily and James' house and was heading to the living room. There we spoke clearly to the mirror, "James Potter and Sirius Black!"

There was no sound, but Remus saw they were in Hogsmeade. As Remus was about to go there, he heard a sweet song and realized it was Kiah's locket. She was at the apartment.

In Hogsmeade, Sirius yelped as his ring burned his finger, then saw Marissa and Kiah's apartment. "Apparate to the apartment!" Sirius said hurriedly.

Remus, Sirius, and James all arrived at the apartment, the "war" temporarily forgotten; all thinking there was danger. But they didn't sense anything wrong. The three boys had their wands drawn, ready for anything that might happen.

"I don't think its anything," James said after a few moments.

"Wrong!" said a voice behind them. All three spun around but were blinded by a bright light. Then there was a spraying sound and the boys were doused in Silly String. All three were screaming and trying to rip it off, but more just kept coming.

The spraying finally stopped and Lily, Marissa, and Kiah were bent over laughing so hard. The boys were frantically ripping Silly String off themselves. Sirius was the first to get uncovered.

"This is so war!" he yelled. The girls just laughed harder.

"We have a few ground rules," gasped Marissa once she calmed herself. "One, guys against girls. Two, no individual attacks; it has to be all together. Three, no magic, just muggle stuff unless it requires conjuring. And four, girls get the house and boys get the flat until the war is over. Have a blast!" The three girls waved and Apparated.

"They have no idea who they are dealing with," James sputtered after he got most of the Silly String off, "Weren't we the master pranksters at school?"

"They helped with a lot of stuff James," Remus muttered, sitting on the floor still covered in Silly String, "They have a pretty good knowledge of pranking."

"But we still have the advantage! We know more than them!" James said.

Sirius spoke up dramatically, "I will not rest until we win. And I have a brilliant idea! James, aren't Lily, Marissa, and Kiah going to Jen's house for wedding help?"

James was helping Remus get untangled, when he looked up confused. "Yeah, they're taking the car, for whatever reason. Lily likes driving I guess." James paused as he looked at his best friend and said, "So?"

Sirius smiled his classic I-have-a-brilliant-Marauder-idea smile. "Here's what we do…"

¤.¸¸.·´¨»«´¨·. ¸¸.¤

"I was surprised that they didn't attack us last night," Lily said on their way to the car. Marissa, Kiah, and Lily were headed to Lily's mom's house for wedding advice.

"Well I heard James come in around one in the morning, but he just got his Invisibility Cloak, the photos of the pranks they did, and a few outfits," Kiah said.

"Oh, that was the kiss I felt last night," Lily said.

"Well I wouldn't put my guard down just yet," Marissa said sleepily. She elected herself night watch-women and stayed up all night waiting for something to happen. She didn't get much sleep. "How come I never saw him?"

"You fell asleep for the first two hours," Kiah said.

As Lily went to start the car, a great many things happened. First Marissa noticed that the heater and air conditioning dials were turned all the way up and looked at it, puzzled. Then Lily started the car. Music erupted through the speakers, making the car jump up and down. The windshield wipers were swinging back and forth violently. The air and heater were going at the same time. Everything in the car was turned up on high and the three girls were screaming. Then the car started going and Lily looked down to see four bricks on top of the gas.

Lily turned around and yelled, "Apparate!" A second later all three girls were standing in the driveway. The car still sped at full speed, veering off to the side of the road and crashing into a tree. It burst into flame and the girls stood there in stunned silence, shaking, until Lily screamed out, "JJJJJJJJJJJAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSS!"

Sirius, Remus, and James came out of the bush they were hiding behind. "Yes my angel?" James asked innocently.

Lily advanced on James, her eyes flaming red like the embers of a fire and hands clenched into a tight fist. Then she blew up. Lily was yelling all kinds of different obscenities at him and James looked scared for his life, backing away slowly.

"AND YOU THREE WILL FIX THE CAR UNTIL IT LOOKS BRAND NEW! AND IF YOU SO MUCH AS THINK ABOUT PUTTING ANY JINXING SPELL ON IT, YOU WILL SLEEP ON THE COUCH FOR A YEAR, DO YOU UNDERSTAND?" All three boys nodded, Remus and Sirius ready to burst out laughing, James looking like he was on his deathbed. "YOU WILL GET THE WORST REVENGE IMAGINABLE!"

¤.¸¸.·´¨»«´¨·. ¸¸.¤

"How do they do this?" Kiah asked, rubbing her eyes, "They come up with the most absurd yet amazing ideas and we can't think of anything to get them back."

"We'll figure out something! There has to be a trick to the way they do this!" Marissa said, flipping through Pranks Through the Ages that was in the library of the home.

"Personally, I think we should just quit for the night, Lily is fast asleep," Kiah said. Marissa looked over to the chair where Lily was sitting and saw her curled up in a ball.

Just then James popped into the room. Marissa and Kiah sent daggers his way. "Chill out, I'm just here to get my book-ah there it is!" James said, spotting the book Marissa was flipping through moments ago. He plucked it out of her hands, then went over to Lily, giving her a kiss on the forehead. "Well, nighty night!" and with that he disappeared with a small pop.

¤.¸¸.·´¨»«´¨·. ¸¸.¤

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" screamed Marissa. Both Kiah and Lily sleepily woke up and followed the screaming. They found Marissa in the kitchen the freezer door open her eyes closed, her face red, and her feet stomping while she screamed. "I'M GOING TO KILL THEM!"

"What's going on?" Kiah said.

"SEE FOR YOURSELF!" Marissa yelled, thrusting her finger inside the fridge. Kiah and Lily crowded next to her to see all of their bras full of shaving cream and frozen.

"I'm going to kill them!" Lily said, Apparating to Sirius and Remus' apartment. Kiah and Marissa were close behind. "JJJJJJJAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSS!"

"You're getting good at that," Marissa said. There was no answer.

"Where are they?" Kiah said. Then she thought of something. "You don't think they went back to your house, Lily?" Lily looked at her for a second, then her eyes narrowed and she Apparated back to her house.

When they got back to the house, all of the furniture was missing. The whole house was bare. Lily gasped. "I have a good hunch about something," she said, running for the front door. The other two followed.

Lily groaned and pointed to the roof. On top of it was all of the furniture in the house. "We have to find a way to get them back!" Kiah said, pulling both of them in the house.

¤.¸¸.·´¨»«´¨·. ¸¸.¤

James yawned widely, stretching his arms over his head. He started to get up, but then he felt something strange. Lifting up the blankets, James looked at his midriff and saw it all wet. It also smelt really bad. At he first he was shocked, then he laughed to himself. "The old finger in hot water trick. Amateurs," he muttered.

James slipped on his slippers, then felt something weird in those too. He took his foot out and saw yolk on his feet, it was so slimy. "Hmm, a little more advanced," he thought, "But still amateur."

Sirius and Remus came in the room, both wet. Sirius had his feet in duck slippers but there were egg yolks covering it. "They got you too?" Remus asked.

James nodded. "I'm going to change," James said. He walked over to the closet and touched the doorknob. Just then he felt a jerk around his navel. He was speeding off into darkness, landing with a thud on tile flooring. James' glasses were broken but he quickly repaired them, just by using his mind. Then he saw he was on a raised platform in the middle of the nearby mall. Everyone was pointing and laughing. Puzzled, he looked down at himself and realized he was naked. A bright red blush crept up into his cheeks and spread through his body.

Moments later Sirius appeared next to him. Sirius was about to ask what was going on, until he looked down at himself and gasped, blush creeping into his cheeks. Remus came a moment later, saying, "They cheated, no magic, their own rules. We have to get them back big time now."

"Definitely, I'm forming an idea," James said, "but how do we get out of here?"

Sirius groaned. "We are wizards, we could just Apparate."

"Oh…good thinking Sirius, but I have a major plan," James said, while they Apparated back to the apartment.

¤.¸¸.·´¨»«´¨·. ¸¸.¤

Lily, Marissa, and Kiah were laughing about their prank and trying to find a wedding dress for Kiah when Remus, Sirius, and James popped in.

"We would just like to congratulate you on that terrific prank," James began.

"Even though you cheated and used magic even thought it was you who made that rule, we still applaud you," Remus said.

"But now, we have to get you back, because we miss being with you guys and this war has got to end. We love you very much, but we just want to say penguins!" Sirius said, waving bye then Apparating with the rest of the boys.

All three girls shared a quizzical look, then clouds appeared on the ceiling. It started to snow, but the strange thing was it wasn't cold at all. "What in the world…" Lily said, letting snow fall into her hand. The snow was coming down faster and already there was an inch of it on the ground.

"How is this dangerous?" Kiah asked. Then they heard a squawking that sounded much like a penguin.

Marissa gasped. "Oh no, Sirius!"

"What?" Lily asked.

"Penguins," Marissa muttered, collapsing on the couch immediately recognizing her boyfriends' obsession with the creatures.

Just then ten penguins came waddling into the room, squawking. All of them looked very innocent. "Aww, they are so cute!" Kiah said.

"They can't be dangerous, can they?" Marissa asked.

"With the Marauders you never know," Lily said.

The penguins all lined up and the one in front said mechanically, "ATTACK! ATTACK!" The penguins quickly waddled over to the girls pecking them everywhere.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Lily, Marissa, and Kiah screamed, running out of the room. As soon as they stepped into the hall, snowballs attacked them as if they were flying out of machine guns. None of them could see anything as the penguins slid on their stomachs, bombarding the girl's legs. The floor was all turning into ice, but everything was normal temperature, not cold at all.

"I can't see!" Lily screamed through the chaos, putting her arms in front of her eyes in hope that it would block the snowballs from hitting her face. Instead they came underneath. Lily clumsily slipped on some ice and slid down the stairs. The snowballs stopped hitting her momentarily and she looked up the stairs, seeing four penguins pecking at Kiah who looked like a snowman and Marissa had two penguins skidding at her feet, making her fall constantly. Lily couldn't watch for very long because somehow the snowballs started hitting her again.

"Do you guys…cough…want to…cough…give up?" Kiah asked. She was swallowing a lot of snow.

"YES!" both Marissa and Lily said. Everything stopped. The penguins disappeared, the snowballs stopped flying, and it stopped snowing. Marissa and Kiah slid down the steps and they all helped each other wipe the mountains of snow off.

Lily felt someone's arms around her waist and turned around to see James. "So you surrender?"

"Yes," Lily sighed.

"We win?"

"Yes."

"We are the almighty pranksters?"

"Yes."

"Are you still mad at me?"

"Yes." James kissed her deeply, then Lily said, "No."

"Good! I missed you."

"I missed you more."

Marissa sighed heavily. "You're so weak Lily, I'll be giving Sirius the silent treatment for a while."

"Hey!" Sirius said, but Marissa just ignored him.

¤.¸¸.·´¨»«´¨·. ¸¸.¤

"We are going to announce who's going to be the best man and the maid of honor," Kiah said two weeks before the wedding. Sirius, James, Lily, and Marissa, who were all busy with the wedding, looked up. Remus grabbed Kiah's hand and smiled.

"I had the hardest time decided who was going to be my best man. After the whole fiasco with James' best man two years ago, I decided to make it easier and pick James, Sirius, and Peter as my best men," Remus said.

James and Sirius smiled. "All three of us?" James asked.

"Yes, I didn't want another huge fight, so I thought it would be easier to make all three of you my best man. And if Peter can't come then it will just be the two of you," Remus said.

"What about Kiah?" Lily asked.

"Well, I was having a really hard time about that too, so when Remus told me his idea, I decided to do the same. So my maid of honor is both Marissa and Lily, and if Peter does come my bridesmaid will be my 16 year old cousin Belle," Kiah said.

"That's going to be a lot of toasts," Marissa said.

"Well then you guys can just join up and make one for all of you. It's going to be a small wedding anyways," Remus said.

An owl flew in the room and dropped a letter on Remus' lap, flying off again. Curious, Remus opened the letter. "They can't come," he whispered.

"Who?" Kiah asked.

"M-my parents. They can't come because they had 'prior arrangements'," Remus said. Scornfully, he threw the letter into the fireplace, took out his wand and shot fire out of it, making the wood burn.

"I'm so sorry Remus," Kiah said, wrapping her arms around his neck. The other four shared a knowing look and crept out of the room, leaving them in peace.

¤.¸¸.·´¨»«´¨·. ¸¸.¤

It was March 25th, the date that Remus and Kiah would be married. They were both in a small church in Bristol, along with their wedding parties. Remus was putting his jacket on backwards and James and Peter were trying to get him untangled from it. Sirius was just sitting back, watching with a smirk on his face.

"You could help you know," James said.

"I helped a ton at your wedding, now it's my turn to relax until my marriage," Sirius said.

"So you are thinking of getting married," Peter said slyly.

"Anyways, Remus isn't half as bad as you were," Sirius said, changing the subject.

"No I think he's worse," James said, now trying to stop Remus from brushing his teeth with a comb.

"You were hyperventilating James, he's just getting mixed up," Sirius said.

"How do you know what happened, you were too busy singing about Conodia, uh Canide, no Canada! That's it," Remus said calmly, pleased with himself for getting the name of the country right.

The three boys continued arguing. Peter sunk down into a chair, watching his three best friends, the ones that been with him since the first day of school, who had always been there for him. An internal battle started within his mind.

I feel awful about betraying their trust. But I didn't have any choice.

Or did you? You didn't have to join Voldemort…

I know, but he would've killed me! And being on his side has so many more advantages…

Such as?

More power. A lot more power. Everyone thinks I'm just a squib, graduating at the bottom of my class. This power will show them all I'm better. I could have everything I've possibly wanted.

But is it worth a great friendship?

Meanwhile, Kiah, Lily, Marissa, and Kiah's cousin Belle were bustling into their dressing room, hair and make up done but dresses not on yet.

"How did we become late?" Lily asked hurriedly, throwing down the boxes containing the dresses on the table.

"I don't know, but I do know my dress takes ten minutes to get on with help and we have about twenty minutes to get you guys and the flower girl dressed. So we need to hurry," Kiah said.

"At least she'll be in such a hurry she won't have time to worry about getting married," Belle muttered to Lily and Marissa.

Within fifteen minutes everyone was ready to walk down the aisle. The wedding march started up and Kiah took a deep breath. She was so nervous, but so excited to start a new life.

¤.¸¸.·´¨»«´¨·. ¸¸.¤

The song "Here Comes the Bride" started up on the piano. Remus sucked in a deep breath as Kiah walked down the aisle. She was wearing a clean white dress that sparkled when she moved. Her straps were resting on her shoulders. The dress was tight and the waist and at the thighs then slowly twirled out as is neared her feet. She had on the calling locket Remus gave her, a small diamond bracelet that her father gave her, and the engagement ring. She had her hair done up in a very complicated bun, two pieces of hair framing her face.

The bridesmaids were wearing gowns of rose red. They were strapless and were tight at the waist, but were a little looser from the hips down. Each of them was wearing their own jewelry and their hair was softly curled and done up in a half ponytail.

Kiah kissed her fathers cheek when she reached the alter and walked up the three steps to Remus. She mouthed a hi to him which made Remus smile. They joined hands and the minister started into the ceremony.

"Welcome family and friends! We are here to celebrate this joyous day in which we unite Kiah Cherr Malawi and Remus John Lupin in holy matrimony. Let God bless these two amazing people in love as they share this momentous day in their lives. I want you all to whisper something special to your loved one." The congregation was filled with whispers for a few moments, and when there was silence the minister spoke, "Remus, please repeat after me. I Remus."

"I Remus."

"Take thee Kiah."

"To be my lawfully wedded wife."

"I promise to honor and cherish her."

"To always love her with all my heart."

"In sickness and in health."

"As long as we both shall live."

"As long as we both shall live," Remus finished, exhaling a deep breath. Kiah gave him a small smile.

"Now repeat after me Kiah, I Kiah," the minister began.

"I Kiah."

"Take thee Remus."

"To be my lawfully wedded husband."

"I promise to honor and cherish him."

"To always love him with all my heart."

"In sickness and in health."

"As long as we both shall live."

"As long as we both shall live," Kiah finished softly, squeezing Remus' hands.

The minister smiled and said, "And now exchange your personal vows. Remus," the minister gestured towards Remus.

Remus let out another deep breath. "From the moment I saw you last year, I was stunned at how beautiful you looked. And now I've come to get to know every glorious thing about you. Kiah, I love you so much. You have changed my life in more ways then you know. You have helped me through so much and I thank God everyday for giving you to me. You were so understanding and helped me through everything. You accepted me for who I was, and that means the world to me. I know you were meant for me, you are the dream that I've wanted that finally came true. I would be lost without you in my life, to help me, to guide me, and to always be so caring. I love you," Remus finished, the last part in a whisper.

Kiah smiled at him and stroked his hand. "Remus, I can't even put into words how much you mean to me. I never had someone so real who cared for me so much until I found you. Even that first awkward date in Hogsmeade was one of the best days of my life. You make me feel so at ease, and you understand my heart, body, and soul. We will always be one, you have helped me so much and you changed my life. You were my first real, true, best friend. You are my soul mate, and I feel like nothing bad can happen when I'm with you. I love you, so, so much."

"With the power invested in me, I know pronounce you man and wife. You may now kiss the bride," the minister said. Remus held Kiah's elbows and Kiah gently put her hands on his arms. They kissed and the congregation applauded them.

"I love you," Kiah whispered.

"I love you more," Remus said, taking her hand and walking down the aisle.

Author Notes: OK, it's going to be a lot of weddings like I said, I'm sorry if this gets repetitive. There won't be a reception, basically because I thought the L/J one was boring and I know if I write one for Remus and Kiah that it will be a lot like the other one. I don't think anyone will be too terribly disappointed. I don't know if I should keep the actual wedding there or just change it to a short mention, such as "The ceremony was short but beautiful…" yada yada yada. What do you guys think?

Once again, sorry for the huge delay in posting the last chapter but document manager was acting up.

XXXX: Thanks for reviewing, sorry it took so long to update!

R/R!
