Chapter Two: Wedding Bells
"So," James began conversationally, ignoring the sinking feeling in his stomach, "no rings, eh?"
Peter and Frank exchanged identical worried looks. They were not sure which was worse: a screaming, furious James, or this strained, but exceedingly polite James who looked like he was about to suffer a heart attack.
"Er…no," Peter decided to answer very cautiously, in case the fiery James came out and ruptured a lung screaming at the two. "No rings."
James restrained himself greatly. "No—rings. Okay. And why is this?"
Peter looked highly uncomfortable. "Er, well—it turns out someone bought them already."
James's eyes bulged; there was no mistaking it this time…he was pissed off. "I reserved those bloody rings! How can the jeweler sell them to someone else?"
At these words, Sirius burst out into laughter. "Har, har, Prongsie! Got you this time, didn't I? Oh me, you should have seen the look on your face! Incredibly hilarious!"
James shot Sirius a half-annoyed, half-murderous look. "Sirius, if you don't explain yourself in less than fifteen seconds, I am going to stick your flamingo suit up your ar—"
"IboughttheringsalreadybecauseIthoughtit'dbefunnyifyoufreakedoutabit," Sirius said in one breath. "April's Fool?" Sirius asked weakly.
James did not soften his features, letting his icy glare speak for himself. "Five seconds."
"November's Fool?" Sirius tried again, hoping desperately that James would finally forgive him.
"Hah, such a riot, Sirius," James spat out venomously. "Where are the rings?"
Sirius quickly rummaged around his suit pockets and came up with nothing. Then, he suddenly seemed to remember and exclaimed, "Oh! Of course!"
James glanced suspiciously at Sirius's outburst. "Where are they, Sirius?"
Sirius grinned. "In here!" He plunged his hands into his boxers and out of his hands came two velvet boxes.
"Euuurgh!" James gave an extremely disgusted look as Sirius dropped them gracefully into James's hand. "Scourgify!"
Sirius gave a lopsided grin, watching as James disinfected and cleaned the boxes vigorously. "You missed a spot there, mate."
"Shut up, you pillock," James growled as he finally stopped wiping at it, grudgingly satisfied with the result. The velvet had been worn bear by the constant furious rubbing. Sirius pouted and resorted to attempting to tap-dance with his new sparkly and sounding shoes that accompanied the best man outfit.
"Oy! It's almost time," Remus said suddenly and quickly threw the tux at James, who dressed himself in it in less than three minutes. 12:44.
"Quick, how do I look?" James asked in a panicked voice. "Is my hair any flatter?"
Remus gave an uncomfortable glance to the rest of the males standing behind James. "Er, well…"
"No," Sirius said candidly, and then returned to trying an Irish jig.
James scowled horribly at this and then gave the rings back to Sirius, making sure that he kept them in his coat pocket, and not…well, not somewhere else.
"What time is it now?" Frank asked.
"12:48," Peter offered, looking at Sirius's crazy dance moves. "That's going to be a hit with the girls tonight, Padfoot."
"Thanks, Wormtail."
"Come on, let's leave now," James said, and the band Apparated off to the wedding site.
o.O.o.O.o
Lily, looking slightly aggravated and mostly worried, hung around the back of the open garden area where the wedding was to take place. James and his friends still had not arrived.
The seats were jammed full of people, anticipating the wedding. "Over two hundred people," Lily thought grimly. "What am I supposed to do when James doesn't come?"
"Don't fret, Lils," Alice Longbottom said, walking over gracefully to comfort her friend. "James's a good guy—he'll be here in a little whi—oh!"
Suddenly, in the middle of Alice's sentence, five guys Apparated with a resounding crack in between the two women.
"Sorry about that, dear," James said, hastily catching himself before tripping over Lily's feet.
"Nice of you to show up, James," Lily said rather heatedly and frowned.
"Aww, I'm sorry. You know how Sirius is," James said, bending down to kiss Lily on the cheek and also shooting a pointed glance over at a sulking man. James had charmed his legs not to dance anymore, and Sirius could barely endure the agony.
"It's fine, dear," Lily said, softening and tucked away a stray loose strand of her vivacious red hair. "I'm glad you got him to wear the best man's suit."
"Shall we, then?" James asked casually, extending out his arm for Lily to hold on to. James threw Sirius a warning look, and Sirius rolled his eyes and Apparated over ten feet to where the front of the wedding site was.
With everyone's eyes on them, the pair walked across the rose-petaled grassy ground, hand in hand.
"You're beautiful," James whispered into Lily's ear, making Lily blush and adjust her pure white wedding gown self-consciously.
They had finally reached their destination, with Sirius overlooking them superiorly.
"And here we have the dashing James Henry Potter and the stunning Lily Marie Evans, joined together at last! I, having seen their constant interactions first-hand at dear old Hogwarts, am absolutely bewildered that the two ever decided to get married. Or get together in the first place." Sirius paused for greater effect. "In fact, dear Miss Evans hated James's guts. Ahh, the memories."
The crowd tittered with laughter.
Sirius was enjoying the spotlight, and obviously ignoring the warning looks James and Lily were both shooting him. He continued in his magically amplified voice, "But alas, they fell in love, and here they are. If you two will seal the marriage bond, please."
Linking their hands even more tightly, James and Lily both murmured, 'Amorelis' at the same time, causing an unearthly pink and warming glow to wrap around their hands.
A minute later, the glow disappeared, but left a joyous note in Lily and James.
They both remembered the tingling sensation they felt when they kissed for the very first time.
The difficult trials they had to endure in Auror training classes, and the constant badgering by the Death Eaters…and they had been through it all, making their love grow stronger.
They kissed in front of a delighted crowd. They were whoops and cheers made quite loudly, and when Lily and James finally broke off the kiss, they were beaming. Sirius presented the rings, and allowed the two to slip them on each other's left ring fingers. The crowd dabbed at their eyes that spouted happy tears and smiled brilliantly at the perfect pair.
Only one person was not.
Hidden among the trees, was a stony-faced, black haired man, quietly watching the event with a look of disgust aimed at the groom.
He had always loved her, ever since she first helped him out in Charms when he was struggling so hard to get the spell right, even if he would never admit it.
Day after day, he would sneak looks at her, admiring the way her long red hair framed her heart-shaped face and complimented her almond-shaped and startling green eyes. Green eyes that held so much warmth and compassion, even if he was ever so cruel to her.
Again and again, he deliberately hurt her, but Lily would still acknowledge him and help him out whenever James came around.
And now, here she was, the woman he loved, marrying another man.
It was enough to drive a person towards the other side. Enough to wish to kill the man she was marrying. Maybe then, she would notice him…
That man…was Severus Snape.
After the pair beamed at the crowd, Snape drifted back into the shadows, hunching his shoulders as he disappeared amongst the darkening shadows.
Author's Note:
Ohhh…I dunno. I like the whole Snape infatuated with Lily theory. It will play more into the story as it progresses.
Please tell me your input! Thanks..
