A/N: Hello all, I updated again rather quickly, er...I hope? My reviewers are slowly decreasing, so I'm wondering if there is something you are dissapointed with. I don't mind, I like constructive critisism. Okay, so this chapter is rather fluffy, and the Marauders are basically adults, so I tried to make that come forth, for I had some reviewers saying they are too immature. I hope you all enjoy it. I'm thinking one more chapter should do it. I know, I know, it seems like it would end rather quickly, but I have already planned out the next chapter, and it will have everything that I wanted to add in it.

Reviewers: You all are insane. But it's the good kind of insane, don't worry.

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter.

Hermione scurried to her feet and turned off the screen, and began to enlarge the next one. Most of the boxes in front of the screen were taken, so Ginny settled for sitting on the floor, next to Harry.

"What's the next video of, Remus?" Harry asked.

Remus shrugged, "I'm not quite sure, all I know is this video is a while after graduation."

Hermione turned around, "Are you all ready?"

They all nodded, and the video came to life.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

"Breath, James…breath." Sirius said soothingly, patting his friends head.

James laid his head back on the couch, clad in his nicest suit, and began breathing in and out very quickly.

"You're going to be okay." Peter said, but his voice was full of worry.

Remus opened the door to the flat that the four boys shared, and tossed his wand on the table. "Great news," He said, "I-"

"OH MERLIN!" James cried, breathing painfully with Sirius and Peter at his side.

"Why is James breathing like a pregnant woman?" Remus asked.

"He's going to propose to Lily tonight, and she'll be here any minute!" Peter said, standing up, "He's a bit nervous."

"A bit?" Remus said in disbelief, "He looks like he's giving birth."

James groaned, "Bugger off, Remus."

"I know you're nervous James," Peter said, "But that's no need to be Mr. Pissy Pants."

James picked up a pillow and threw it aimlessly. "What is she says no?"

"James," Remus said, picking up the pillow and slowly advancing, "You need to…" He paused and began repeatedly smacking his friend, "Snap. Out. Of . It!"

Sirius gasped, "Is that anyway to treat one of your best mates in his time of crisis?"

"Bloody Hell!" Remus groaned, "You've all gone insane."

"Maybe I could put a spell on the ring, and trick her into putting it on. It could me an irreversible spell, so when she puts it on, she has to marry me." James said, clutching Sirius' hand nervously.

"Are you the father?" Remus chuckled, nodding this head towards their entwined hands.

James picked up what he thought was a pillow and threw it at Remus, missing him by a few feet.

"JAMES!" Peter said, "YOU JUST THREW YOUR RING!"

James gasped and sat up; he had thrown the ring, along with the velvet case. He scrambled to his feet, before dropping to his knees again and searching the ground frantically.

He picked up the fallen case than was open slightly, to find that the diamond was not inside it.

James shrieked, getting down on his stomach and pulling his whole body with his hands in front of him. He slid across the floor like a snake, with Peter and Sirius worriedly hovering above him.

"OH!" James saw something glitter by the chair, and he pulled himself, still on his stomach, to it. Fingers shaking, he slowly reached over and grabbed the ring. "I…I found it!" He said in pure bliss, clutching the ring to his heart, "I thought I'd lost you."

Remus shook his head and walked out of the small living room to the kitchen.

The four boys had gotten this small flat once they were out of Hogwarts. They each had their own room, but there was only one bathroom, and one kitchen.

James had been planning on proposing to Lily for quite some time, and only his three friends and parents knew that.

He came bounding into the kitchen as Remus opened up a cupboard in search of food. He turned around to see James standing nervously by the table.

"JAMES!" Remus cried, "What did you do to yourself?"

James looked down, "What are you talking about?"

Remus furrowed his brow, "You look like you have a rash on your neck and chest!"

James gasped and ran out of the kitchen and into the bathroom, his three roommates following. He slowly tipped his head up to look at his reflection, before he screamed.

"What's happening to me?" He asked as he leaned in closer and ran his hands over the red rash that burned painfully.

"James…" Sirius said slowly, his lip shaking with laughter, "You gave yourself rug burn!"

"Did not!" James cried, before he thought back to his little slithering escapade. "Oh BUGGER! I DID GIVE MYSELF RUG BURN!"

His three roommates burst out into uproarious laughter, clutching their sides and fighting for breath.

James glared at them, "You really aren't helping. I'm nervous enough as it is."

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

"Is the attic ready?" Remus asked.

He was referring to the small space above their flat that James had been working on for quite some time, attempting to make it perfect, even for just one night. James nodded, and flattened down his wrinkle free suit. There was a few more knocks, and Sirius finally asked James if he was going to get it.

He strode over to the door, patting the ring down in his pocket. He tried to smooth down his hair, then flung open the door.

"James!" Lily said, throwing her arms around him, "You look so handsome."

"You look beautiful." James grinned, clearly glad that his rug burn was fading so much that it appeared to not exist. Lily was clad in a strapless black dress that fell just below the knee, she had curled her hair in large ringlets, and smelt faintly of flowers.

"What's the occasion?" She asked, walking into the house. "You said to dress nicely. Where are we going?"

"Upstairs." James said, grabbing her hand and yanking her towards the stairs. He had bewitched a ladder to look like a winding, marble staircase. "In the attic."

"Wha-?" Lily began.

James held out his hand, "You'll see." He quickly ran up, Lily slowly following.

She had been in wizard's attics before, so she knew what to do. Upon reaching the top of the stairs, Lily poked her head through the icy feeling ceiling, along with her arms. She heaved herself to the top and emerged into the attic.

Lily could feel her heart beat increase its speed, the walls were a deep, wine colored red, and the wood was nicely polished. There was a table set in the middle of the room, with a white table cloth and china place settings. Upon the walls were different paintings, and there was a bookshelf, along with a piano.

"James." She murmured, staring around in awe, "Did you do all this?"

He nodded, "Have a seat."

Lily sat down, to find food already hot and steaming in front of her. "Mm. Pasta."

James smiled, "And I have steak, remember? Like on our first date. Except instead of tea and water, we have wine."

"You remember what I ordered?" Lily said, "That's really sweet…in a stalker-ish sort of way."

They laughed and began eating. James heart was thumping in his ears, and every time he shifted in his seat, he could feel the box in his pants knock into him, as if it was like a reminder.

A few minutes later, James dabbed the corners of his mouth with a napkin and scooted back from the table. Pulling his wand out of his pocket, he waved it swiftly over the piano. Immediately slow music began to play, and James held out his hand.

"May I have this dance?"

Lily laughed, "You may."

She placed one hand on his waist and held his hand in another. They danced in small circles for a while, Lily resting her head on his chest, inhaling his scent.

James cleared his throat, "I love you so much, Lily."

"I love you, too." She said, obviously confused.

"And I-I know I've changed from the person I used to be. Matured more like. But the whole time my eyes always saw one thing…you. You're beautiful Lily, y-you have this fire about you, you speak your mind. If injustice is going on, you're the first to put a stop to it. And you're eyes…they speak for them selves, they give emotions that most people couldn't hope to attain…"

Lily swallowed, and she could feel her eyes brim with tears. She thought she knew what was coming next, but it was all too surreal, too perfect…

"You're hair, too…it's just like you, beautiful and full of fire. You're astounding, Lily. Everyday I still don't understand why you picked me. It doesn't make any sense."

"It does to me." Lily interrupted, touching his cheek lightly.

James put his hand over hers, before he slowly got down on one knee. Lily released the tears that were held in her eyes, and felt them roll down her cheeks. James clung to her hand, and with his free arm, he pulled out the ring.

He let go of her hand and looked into her eyes, the eyes that he was mesmerized from the moment he saw her. "I love you, Lily Evans. Will you…marry me?"

Lily nodded quickly and fell down to her knees, kissing him passionately. They pulled back and she smiled, "Of course James…of course."

"HOORAY!" Sirius said, holding the camera by his eye. The camera was under the invisibility cloak, but when he heard James give his speech, he just had to watch. Clearly he wasn't the only one, for Remus and Peter were grinning broadly from beside him.

"THIS IS SO EXCITING!" Peter chirped. He then grabbed Remus and Sirius hands, and they all three spun in a circle, bounding up and down in joy.

James cleared his throat, but his smile was still firmly in place. He wondered if anything could ever wipe it off, "Do you mind?"

"Oh…" Remus said, "Sorry…we'll just…go."

They all three left, emerging back on the spiral staircase.

"I can't believe it." Peter said. "She…she said yes."

Remus laughed, "Well, now we'll be able to show this to their kids, and they'll be able to see how their parents finally got together."

"Well," Sirius said, looking into the camera, "That concludes another episode of Pursuing Lily Evans. Only…it's not really pursuing any more. It's more like…James got Lily Evans!"

"Sirius," Remus said seriously, "Sometimes you are so clever, it scares me."

--------------------------------------------------------------

The tape went black, and Harry turned it off from his spot on the floor. Half way through the movie, Ginny had grabbed his hand, and they had stayed that way ever since. They both looked up, to see everyone grinning broadly.

'Well,' Harry thought, 'My parents got more than themselves together…'

This was true enough, for Remus had his arm around Tonks, and they weren't looking at anything but each other. Mr. and Mrs. Weasley were doing the same, and Ron had bit his lip, gathered enough courage, and snatched Hermione's hand firmly in his.

Fred and George looked at each other, "This is awkward." Fred said.

"Yeah." George agreed, gazing around the room, "Fred…I love you."

"I love you, too!" Fred cried in mock happiness, "Oh George, hold me!"

They clung to each other, and everyone in the attic laughed, Harry feeling more than a little happy as Ginny leaned over and quickly pecked his lips.

A/N: I hope you all liked it, and sorry if it lacked in humor, but I'm trying to find a balance between humour and maturity. Because, after all, when you are immature everything is incredibly amusing. ;) Please review, and I'm pretty sure the next chapter will be the last. And I find that sad. Ah well, we'll conquer it when we get there. :) Thanks again and love you all - Lilly
