As the video was put into the video player, everyone immediately attempted to get themselves comfortable. James, Sirius and Lily had arrived only moments ago because they were interested in seeing the video also. Peter couldn't make it, due to family arrangements.
It was Lily. She was walking down the aisle, wearing a cream wedding dress and her hair was tied up in a bun with little wisps falling down either side of her face.
James stared at her, his jaw agape. Only one word left his mouth:
"Wow!"
Lily blushed.
While Lily and James exchanged their vows, the camera zoomed in on Ginny sobbing. Sirius, who was standing next to her, passed her a handkerchief, which she took gratefully and sneezed quietly into it. Lily shot her a look and winked. Ginny's smile wobbled slightly.
"Aw" Remus said with a grin "Poor Gin's crying!" Ginny glared at him and smacked him around the head.
"Shut up, you!"
Now it's at the party and James and Lily had just finished their speeches.
"Now I think its time to PAR-TAY!" This was met with excited cheers.
Ginny giggled as James led Lily to the dance floor. Lily was still beaming madly. As they slow danced, Remus led Ginny to the dance floor.
"Ergh! I hate romance, it's so yucky!" Ashley stated, looking grim. Rachel laughed.
"You're young. Wait until you feel that you've found the right woman, then you won't think it's 'yucky'" Remus told him.
"Oh god! He still says exactly the same thing in our time!" Ashley exclaimed.
As it came to another slow dance, Lily approached Ginny and they both giggled. They held each other's hands in the air and swayed from side to side, giggling and smiling. James grinned, while Sirius merely raised an eyebrow.
"I always thought those two were a bit too close" Remus smacked him around the head.
"Shut up!"
Quite suddenly the music stopped and Sirius was standing on the stage, holding a mic.
"This is for you James and Lils! Enjoy!"
"Uh-oh, why do I have a bad feeling about this?" Ginny murmured. Suddenly, the camera zoomed on her once again as the music started up.
"Love … Love … Love…"
"Oh dear god!" She turned on seeing the camera. She grinned.
"Ah, hello there Zak" She waved into the camera.
"Oh no! I have a habit of making a fool of myself" She moaned.
"I know I'm simply gorgeous" she said with a cheeky grin "But could you video Lily and James?"
Ashley sniggered.
"I know where you get it from now" He said mockingly to his sister. Rachel gasped and threw a pillow at him.
"Shut it!"
As it finishes showing Remus and Ginny's wedding… it shows Rachel and Ashley at the age of eight.(I HAVE MADE IT SO THAT THEY CAN SHOW SOME MEMORIES ON VIDEO TOO. It's something that they've discovered in the future)
"MUUUUUUUUUUUUUUM! Ashley stole my teddy bear!"
Ashley sniggered. Rachel glared at him.
"What now?" she asked exasperatedly "Ashley, give your sister back her teddy bear!" She said sharply. Ashley gulped slightly and did what he was told.
Suddenly, a yawn could be heard. It was Sirius. Ginny smirked at him; his hair was a complete mess and he had bags under his eyes.
"Thanks for letting me stay the night" he said with a smile and a cheeky wink. Ginny grinned evilly.
"You should be thanking Remus, not me. He's the one who allowed you to stay"
"Really?" Sirius questioned, looking surprised.
"Yep" She turned around, ready to start making breakfast, when Rachel gasped.
"MUUUUM!" Ginny sighed in irritation.
"WHHHAAAAT?"
Everyone laughed at Ginny's frustration and the look on her face; it was one of pure annoyance.
"Sirius just showed his bits and pieces!" she wailed. Ginny bit her lip to stop herself shrieking with laughter, while Sirius raised an eyebrow.
"What exactly does that mean?" he queried. Ginny giggled.
"It means that you flashed Sirius. Please tell me you're wearing something under that" Sirius grinned slyly.
"Well…"
"You're not!" she exclaimed, looking shocked. Rachel looked to Ginny and Sirius then decided that sticking around wasn't such a good idea and quickly left the kitchen.
Sirius was literally killing himself laughing. James was sniggering. Lily was giggling madly, while Remus was looking extremely amused. Ginny, on the other hand, was blushing profusely.
"Oh dear god" she whispered, a hand over her mouth "You just flashed in front of the children! Pray to god that Harry didn't see. I'm afraid he might be scarred for life. Actually, I think Rachel will probably be more affected by that!" Sirius grinned, whilst chuckling.
Ginny put her head in her hands, not sure whether to be angry or amused, then she looked up at him, her eyes twinkling mischievously.
"Well, Remus isn't here. So …" She trailed off, winking at him. Sirius smirked.
"The bedroom"
"Of course" she said with a grin, then they both burst out laughing.
Remus and Ginny both looked rather shocked.
"Did I really say that?" she questioned, looking surprised at herself. Remus nodded.
"Yep"
"Mummy's having an affair!" Were the first words that came out of Rachel's mouth as she ran over to her father. Remus raised an eyebrow.
"Really?"
"Yup. With Uncle Sirius." Remus' face darkened slightly and Rachel looked apprehensive.
"Uh-oh, I don't like the look on your face, mate" James commented.
"I didn't mean it, dad" Rachel said quietly.
"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE PLAYING AT?!" Remus screamed at his wife, anger blazing in his eyes. Ginny clenched her jaw, shut her eyes and sighed.
"It was a joke, Remus. Nothing actually happened"
"A JOKE? A JOKE?! BLOODY HELL, GINNY! THE FIRST THING RACHEL SAYS TO ME AS SOON AS I GET IN IS 'MUMMY'S HAVING AN AFFAIR WITH UNCLE SIRIUS' DO YOU THINK THAT'S FUNNY? BECAUSE I DON'T!"
"Remus, you're overreacting"
"I DON'T WANT HIM ANYMORE. DO YOU UNDERSTAND? HE'S NOT ALLOWED IN THIS HOUSE!"
"Oh, for goodness' sake!" Ginny snapped, looking annoyed "Don't be so bloody stupid! It was a joke, I admit, not a very funny one, but a joke all the same! Remus, stop being so insecure!"
"I AM NOT!"
"Yes, you are!"
"NO, I-"
"STOP SHOUTING! YOU'RE SCARING THE KIDS!" Ginny yelled.
"NO, I BLOODY WELL WON'T-"
"AND STOP SWEARING!"
"YOU CAN'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO!"
"CAN'T I? BECAUSE I AM NOW! SHUT. UP!"
"NO! WE'RE SETTLING THIS NOW!"
"THERE'S NOTHING TO SETTLE!"
"ARE YOU, OR ARE YOU NOT, HAVING AN AFFAIR WITH HIM?" Remus demanded.
"NO!"
"I DON'T BELIEVE YOU!"
Ginny, who had finally lost her temper, grabbed a hold of the nearest thing next to her, which just so happened to be a vase, and flung it at him. Remus quickly grabbed a chair and defended himself.
"Well, your fights are rather … interesting" Marie stated, not sure whether to be horrified or amused at the fact that Ginny had just thrown something at her son.
"I'm out of here. You'll find me at the Malfoy's if you need me. Don't worry, you can contact them because I'm sure you don't believe me and that I'm having an affair with Sirius" she replied coldly, and with that, she exited through the fireplace.
"Well, our marriage is very, uh…happy" Remus stated sarcastically.

"This is hopeless. We can't seem to find any way of going back" Ginny wailed.
"I'm sure that if they're with us, they're fine" Sirius assured her. Ginny sniffed sadly.
"I hope so"
Sirius and Ginny has been left behind at the Lupin's, while Narcissa, Severus, Lucius and Remus were in a meeting with Dumbledore. Ginny had been too hysterical and Sirius had volunteered to look after her. Remus had been grateful for that.
"Gin? Are you sure you're alright?" Sirius asked quietly. Ginny nodded, shaking slightly.
"I hope they're okay" Sirius took her hand and clasped it with both of his.
"I promise you, they're fine. I bet they're with us even as we speak. Please Gin, try not to worry so." Ginny's eyes shone with unshed tears.
"I'm sorry; whatever must you think of me?"
"A hysterical mother worried for her children's' safety. Seems perfectly normal to me" He said with a shrug. Ginny smiled weakly.
"Thank you" she whispered. Sirius smiled a genuine smile.
"What are friends for?"
She leant on him and sighed. Sirius suddenly became nervous and inhaled deeply. He'd never really managed to get over his crush on his best friend's wife. It just never passed and it was times like these when he hated the fact. Suddenly, Ginny did something that she'd never really done before. Only once before had she done it and that was at her wedding. She kissed him on the cheek! Sirius felt his face go hot.
"W-What was that for?" he questioned.
"For just being here and keeping me company" she said with a smile. Sirius felt his pulse quicken and his mouth go dry.
"Th-Thanks" he stammered.
Sirius leaned next to her; maybe she felt the same way as him? Nervously, he kissed her lightly on the forehead, then on the cheek. At the same time, as Sirius turned to look at her, Ginny made to look at Sirius and their lips met. Ginny slowly responded and Sirius' eyes widened, then he just simply grabbed her waist and pulled her right next to him. His body pressed against hers. The kiss growing more and more passionate, until …
"Wait … no, this is wrong!" Ginny gasped, looking appalled at herself. Sirius felt all the happiness inside of him, die almost instantly. She put a hand over her mouth.
"Oh god Sirius, I'm so sorry. I never meant … I mean … I-I didn't mean to give you the wrong idea!"
"Then what did you mean?" Sirius questioned darkly "Because from what just happened there, you wanted it as much as me"
"N-No! I-I just mistook you for Remus" she stammered. Sirius rolled his eyes and stood up abruptly.
"Whatever Gin. Tell you what? I'll see you later" and with that, he strode towards the fireplace.
"No!" Ginny cried, throwing herself at Sirius and they both went tumbling to the floor "D-Don't leave me!" she whispered, her eyes pleading. Sirius pried her off of him and Ginny did something that took Sirius completely by surprise. She kissed him!
Sirius noticed that Ginny was using all the passion she could muster to make him stay. He groaned slightly on feeling Ginny put her arms around his neck. He pulled away reluctantly and looked her in the eyes.
"Gi-?" But he never finished his sentence as Ginny's lips claimed his. This was wrong! He was snogging his best friend's wife! But he'd wanted her … no scratch that, loved her for so many years. He couldn't-wouldn't waste this opportunity.
You're treading into dangerous grounds, Black. One: she's vulnerable and probably doing this because she's desperate for her children's safety. Two: she'll regret this straight after and Three: There's a possibility Remus will find out! What the hell do you think you're doing?
Even though he knew that the voice inside his head with right, he couldn't resist. He wanted Ginny, he needed her. Remus could live without her, couldn't he? As Sirius carried her into the bedroom, Ginny tugging at his top, neither of them realized that as the door snapped shut, Severus Snape appearing from underneath an Invisibility cloak, looking both murderous and shocked.
