Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter, no amount of wishes will give it to me, believe me, I've wished.

I'm so sincerely sorry for the long wait. I had a hectic summer. Got in a car accident and had to be taken to the hospital. Suffered whiplash yada yada yada. Guy who hit me wasn't paying attention, simple as that. Damage was bad. I didn't see my car for two months. But now its back and both my car and I are as good as new-well, at least my car is.

Anyways, this is just a small chapter that I decided to have split away from the entire chapter only because I wanted it as an Interlude, hence the title of the chapter…The next chapter should be up typed and edited by Monday or Tuesday. I have the rest of the story minus the last two or three chapters already written so yeah, updates should be regular. Thanks for your patience! I don't deserve it, and I love you all!

Thanks to all my reviewers!

This Is MY Wedding!

Chapter 19 Interlude

A week had passed since that fateful and eventful night and everyone was getting back into routine. Allison was able to get out of bed within three days, much to the protest of Remus, who insisted that she needed another couple of days of bed rest.

- - - - - - - - A few days earlier…

Remus was standing in Allison's room frowning with his arms crossed over his chest, leaning against the wall as Allison sat in front of the mirror on her vanity counter and brushed her hair.

"You should still be in bed." He repeated again. He wasn't happy about her being up and about so soon after recovery.

Allison smiled at the mirror, to Remus. "Remus, you're such a worry wart. I'm fine, even Lily cleared me. I have to do something, I'm going out of my mind staying in bed all day." she turned in her seat, stood up and walked to him.

"But thanks for worrying about me." she said, placing her hands on his chest and leaning up to peck his lips. Remus' lips curved against hers for the split second they were in contact. But then they were back in the stern look, the one that really wasn't working.

"Al, I love you, and I want to make sure you're okay. Take another few days in bed." he tried coaxing her to bed with compassion-not passion-compassion as he grasped her hands on his chest with his own and squeezed gently. Allison had to smile.

"Remus, stop beating yourself up. I've not felt better."

- - - - - - - - Back to the present….

The discussion had gone on for hours. Remus had followed her to work and sat in her office while she reviewed an article for the paper. (A/N: I don't remember if Allison worked for the Daily Prophet or not, but I think that's what I had her for). He simply kept talking to her, trying to get her back in bed at home. She was listening, but she didn't glance up from her paperwork. If she had, Remus would have seen the small smile that graced her lips from Remus' concern.

Now, Sirius and Dasani. Can there really be an "and" in that sentence? What about them? It was clear to anyone who knew them, that they still wanted each other, but after that first day, Dasani had pulled back because all she saw was that Sirius didn't want her anymore, he'd moved on.

It was true though, Dasani was blinded by hurt, although it was partially her fault, to her it seemed that Sirius didn't want her. The guy did go out with a different girl every night since the weekend. Dasani, if she cleared her eyes, would have seen that all of them were tall with brown hair, but none of them lived up to her, so Sirius was never really having fun on the dates he went on like he and Dasani had.

"SIrius, mate, I'm telling you. Forgot those stupid girls you take out every night and go ask her to take you back." James said over breakfast one morning. The two young men were sitting in their kitchen eating a bagel each, Sirius's smothered with cream cheese, James' with butter and grape jam. Sirius took a bite of his bagel before he responded.

"She doesn't want me back, Prongs." Sirius insisted. He'd jumped to horrible conclusions that night. Ones he never should have made. "Did you see how she didn't even look at me when she was hear last weekend? Did you see-Merlin! I hope she got home alright." he veered off.

James smiled. "Sirius, you can't stop thinking about the girl. You are moping around about her. If I remember correctly, it was you who announced in the Great Hall one day at breakfast when she was mad at you in seventh year that you loved her?" He stated more than questioned. He grinned as he saw the memory come into his best friend's eyes. He stood up and brushed off the crumbs.

"Mate, you two are made for each other. Go after her, and don't let her escape. You both want each other back so badly that you're suffering this much." he said before walking to the threshold of the kitchen.

"Speaking of made for each other…I'm going to go stalk my flower until she agrees to have lunch with me today." he said, and walking out he added as an afterthought. "And dinner…and dessert, and maybe some tea…." his fading voice was heard until a 'POP' resounded in the apartment. Sirius shook his head and with a wave of his wand, cleared the kitchen so Remus wouldn't hurt him like last time.

"Bye, James. You're hopelessly in love with her. And she's perfect for you." he spoke despite the knowledge of him not being there anymore.

"Sani! UP! Get up!" Lily pushed her friend off the couch from behind the back rest. Dasani fell to the ground with a resounding THUD! tangled in her bed sheets she'd taken from her room the night before. She'd fallen asleep watching T.V. the night before for the fourth straight night in a row. It was Dasani's way of moping.

"DASANI BRADFORD YOU STOP MOPING AROUND AND GET YOUR ASS IN GEAR!" Lily shouted at the still groggy Dasani, who was instantly at attention. She looked at her friend and laughed nervously.

"He he…Top of the morning' to you, Lil'." she greeted, or tried. Lily tapped her foot impatiently.

"Dasani! What is the first thing you have never let me do from the day I met you?" she inquired with an underlying danger in her tone.

"Drink with James?" she tried. Lily shook her head and merely stared.

"No, try again." she said. This time, her eyes shot right through her friend, and although Dasani had known the answer the first time, she didn't want to say it because she would have to admit she was being hypocritical.

"Feel sorry for yourself…" she sighed, unable to look her friend in the eyes. Lily's tone softened.

"That's right." she said with a soft kindness in her voice. She walked up to her friend, looking up to see her eye to eye. The brown haired teenager had the redhead, by not only eight months in age, but six inches in height.

"So why don't you do yourself a favor and go get him back? Like we agreed?" she insisted. Dasani looked at Lily and smiled.

With the two of them smiling at each other, the touching atmosphere of sincere friendship was forgotten for the time when the two teenage girls broke into loud laughter.

"You laughed first!" they laughed out, only to laugh some more. When they were able to calm down, Dasani grinned.

"Thanks, Lil. Who says I can't get my man back? He's mine after all." she grinned, and turning, walked to the stairs and on the landing, she turned her head and winked at her friend before she disappeared the get ready to face the day and fight for her man.

"That's the way, Sani." Lily whispered proudly to herself. "Fight for what you believe in…Love. And fight for what is yours…Sirius." she said though no one was in the room with her anymore. She stepped towards the fireplace, grabbed her wand from the mantlepiece and flooed to her office in St. Mungos.

Chapter 20 will be out within the week. And it'll be longer than normal. Hehehe, lots a drama and a whole buncha twists in the spaghetti to come lol.

Love always,

Lily
