An hour and a half later found the same group of people sitting at a quiet table in the Crowded Leaky Cauldron coming to terms with what they had just heard.

What had they just heard you ask? Well only that there was a secret society called The order of the Phoenix run by professor Dumbledore himself and that they were all being invited to join this special society. Oh and the minor fact that this society fought against Lord Voldemort, the guy who was responsible for the death of James' aunt and her family as well as countless others. Dumbledore had told them just to think about it, and that they were doing.

'Well, I'm joining.' Dorcas broke the silence and prompted Sirius to speak 'So am I.' James knew what his answer would be 'me too.' 'Me three' said Lily smiling and taking her boyfriends hand. 'I'm joining too' said Remus and Amelia in synchronization. 'And us.' Alice and Frank were such a couple that they spoke together after the slightest look. Frank fingered Alice's engagement ring fondly. That just left Peter who looked rather sweaty. If it will protect me from other things…he thought to him self. All eyes were on him now. 'Yes I'll er…. Join' he said after a big breath. Sirius leant over and clapped him on the shoulder 'Ata Boy Wormtail!'

All of them took a sip of butter beer and toasted to the newest members of the order of the phoenix (in hushed tones of course, Lily made sure of that)

James had watched Lily all night. She was so smart and funny and beautiful, the way she just put everyone at ease and when she looked at him… my god that look was hot the special smile and the beautiful emerald eyes- they shone! When Remus, Sirius and James got back to their apartment that night James confided to his friends what had been eating away at him for quite a while.

'I want to ask Lily to marry me' He said quite suddenly

'WHAT' said Sirius spitting out the fire whiskey he had just drunk. Remus raised his eyebrows but said nothing.

'What do you mean WHAT?' Said James menacingly, 'Moony say something!'

'What do you want me to say?' said Remus.

'Some positive words might be nice!' Said James 'Or do you both think I shouldn't?'

Remus shook his head 'I think it's a good idea Prongs, but only if you want to… I mean your only 19 and Lily's 18. You don't think your rushing it do you?' There was an awkward silence.

'But I love her.' Said James softly, 'I want her to be the one I grow old with.'

'Before I vomit can I just say that if your gunna be gross then just marry her!' said Sirius. James grinned. 'Alright then I will' he said confidently 'Do you think she'll say yes?'

'Yep' said Remus and Sirius together. James grinned.

The next day was a Saturday and James, Sirius and Remus went ring shopping. 'I want it to be simple but Romantic.' James would not shut up about how he was going to propose. 'I don't know what to do though.' He debated with himself as the others rolled their eyes.

'Isn't your anniversary coming up?' said Sirius with a bored voice.

'That's IT!' James said excitedly 'Padfoot you are a genius!' He jumped up and down like a hyperactive floppy haired dog.

'Well, Yes I-' began Sirius but he was cut off by James.

'Well actually you were wrong it's our 9 month anniversary in a week. It can be like our relationship was conceived then and now it's being born!' Remus and Sirius promptly pretended to vomit.

'You don't like it?' said James, sounding hurt.

Remus spoke for both of them. 'We hate it but Lily will love it.' The boys proceeded to pick a beautiful ring they were sure Lily would love and go home.

Lily rose late that morning. She was awoken by an owl that she recognized as Methuselah her own aged bird. She hastened to the window and Methuselah flew in, a letter clasped in his beak.

She gave the owl an owl treat and opened the letter to see her mothers hand writing.

Dear Lily,

As you may remember it is Petunia's wedding next week and you are expected to be there. Petunia has not chosen you to be a member of the bridal party but I, as your mother, insist that you attend the wedding and sit with Daddy and I.

You may bring James but Lil, I remind you to wear formal attire. Not robes, dress and suits please.

I will also remind you to be nice to Petunia as it is her wedding day.

I can't wait to see you; the wedding is next Saturday but come on Friday night because it is a long drive.

Lots and Lots of Love,

Mum.

Lily sighed. Great a wedding! Her mother always did forget that she didn't drive. She apparated… Lily thought of Petunia kissing the baboon of a man then shuddered. Thank god she had James!

A/N: Okay so still not many reviews but I'm optimistic. I've plotted up to chapter 27 so I plan to be around for a while! Next chapter I get to murder some people! Guess who… oh and REVIEW! Gosh, I'm a poet!
