A/N: Okay, I would like to say that I am sorry that I have not had an update in about forever. It's just that life hit me real hard and all my teachers decided to go on an end of school laernign binge, so I havn't had much time to write. I promise I will get the next chapter up as fast as possible. The story is almost done- so there will only be a few more chapters left. Enjoy this one!

The Reunion

On the train platform a pretty, young lady stood nervously, looking out at the empty tracks. The wind tugged her long crimson hair across her face and her almond shaped emerald eyes were wide and anxious. Today was the day she had been anticipating for the past six years, and she was an absolute mess; which was quite a big thing indeed, because the whole wizarding community knew that Lily Evans was the model of calm sophistication. Or, at least, that was what she had become ever since she had graduated from Hogwarts.

"Lily Evans, what are you doing here so bloody early?"

Lily spun around to see Sora walking towards her, her large blue eyes sparkling with mirth and exasperation. The girl had not changed one bit over the past six years and Lily was glad for it, since most everything else had changed so much.

"I'm not that early" Lily said, trying to defend herself "James's train comes in at two and right now it's…"

"Ten thirty" Sora finished for her, raising a single eyebrow. Lily sighed and slumped down on a nearby bench.

"I'm just anxious" Lily said miserably "I mean look at me- I look like a mess!"

Sora looked down at her best friend and smiled. Lily's hair was loose and fell down her back in a waterfall of curls and her robes were a bit faded- but in no way would anybody say that she looked like a mess.

"Lily, you look as lovely as ever" Sora said, sitting down right next to the girl. Lily looked over at her with narrowed eyes.

"How could you possibly say that? My hair is unkempt and my clothes are disheveled!" she cried, tugging at a lock of her wild hair. Sora just shook her head grinning. Lily had changed so much ever since they had graduated. While they were still in Hogwarts, she never cared about how she looked or how she held herself- and now, that she was one of the most famous wizards in the magical community, Lily had started to care greatly about how she presented herself. But, personality wise, she was still the same sweet, and a bit naïve, Lily that Sora had always known.

"You look exactly the way you did when James left six years ago" Sora said, which picked Lily's spirits up a bit. But there was still one problem nagging her.

"Sora- what are you doing here?" Lily asked the girl beside her. It wasn't that Lily didn't appreciate Sora being there; it was just that the girl still had a knack for hatching some crazy plans.

"Oh nothing. I just wanted to make sure you didn't worry yourself to death" Sora said, though she didn't sound very convincing. Lilly looked at her with her eyebrows raised.

"Are you sure that this isn't one of you and Sirius's famous plans?" Lily asked. Sora just grinned wickedly. Ah yes, her and Sirius's plans were quite famous across the community. Over the past few years the two had managed to bring Peter and his now wife Jenny back together after they had gone through a nasty fight; convinced the minister of magic himself to let them and Sora start a new department; and rode a Hungarian Horntail through the quidditch stadium during the World Cup (long story behind that one).

"Listen, Sora, you know that I love you and Sirius, but if you mess today up I swear I will murder you both" Lily whispered to her friend furiously.

"Ah- don't worry yourself, Lily dear. I promise that we won't ruin you day" Sora said. "By the way, what dress size are you?" she asked casually.

"Why would you need to know that?" Lily asked.

"No reason" Sora answered absentmindedly, pulling a piece of parchment and quill out of her purse and scribbling furiously.

Lily just shook her head- not even wanting to know what was going on.

"Ah- there you two are, I knew you would be here!"

Both Lily and Sora turned around to see Peter, Remus, and Sirius all walking up to them. Lily smiled at all of them.

"Glad you could make it Remus" she said as the group approached them. Remus had been teaching in a university in Cairo for the past year.

"Do you really think that I would miss James's homecoming?" he asked. He had lost is sickly, pale parlor and his hair had been bleached by the sun. All in all, Remus was looking better than he ever had.

"And I see your on babysitting duties" Sora said, looking over at Peter, who had his one year old son, Jamison, in his arms. Peter grinned at them sheepishly.

"Jenny had to run some errands" he explained "she said she'd meet us up here in two hours."

Sirius sat down on the bench next to Lily and ruffled her hair, much to her dismay.

"Glad to see you're holding up, Lils" he said, grinning wickedly.

"I would be much better if I wasn't so worried about you and Sora planning something behind my back" Lily said. Sirius looked up at his wife with a shocked expression on his face.

"Now Lily why would you ever think that we would do anything?" Sirius asked.

"Maybe because you always do something" Lily retorted.

"Ah, just like old times" Remus said, grinning to Peter. All of the sudden Jamison started to cry and Peter hushed the child up.

"Well, almost like old times" Remus corrected.

The group all waited on the train platform, growing more and more anxious as the clock neared two. Jenny met up with the group at about one, bringing them all lunch and relieving Peter of his babysitting duties. The group had been so busy with their own lives that they had never really gotten a chance to all meet together and talk, and they were all glad for the opportunity.

Finally, right at the stroke of two, a long, jet black train pulled up to the platform. The group fell silent as the train squeaked to a halt, their breaths bated. They all stared at the train until finally a person came out of it, a pile of suitcases floating lazily behind him, his long black hair falling messily over his familiar hazel eyes.

"James" Lily gasped, her eyes growing wide. Sora and Sirius shared a quick look and Sirius nodded curtly at his wife.

James stepped out onto the platform and looked around. He seemed a bit different from when he had left six years ago, older and more mature. He had grown out his hair and lost a bit of weight, so that he looked taller than before. He was also wearing a serious expression that looked foreign on his face. But as soon as his eyes fell upon the H6, he broke out into a grin that made his face come back alive. His hazel eyes sparkled in their mischievous way and he looked like his old self once again. He hurried over to the group, beaming.

"You guys don't know how glad I am to see you" he said as he finally made his way to his friends. They all beamed up at him as well.

"You don't know how glad we are to have you back as well" Sirius said. James smiled up at his friend, but he really was concentrating on Lily, who was still seated on the bench, looking up at him with wide eyes. He noted that she had changed since he had last seen her. Her hair was still as wild, but it was longer now, almost reaching her waist, and she carried herself in a more formal, regal way.

Lily stared up at James, not believing that it was him. She had envisioned his homecoming countless amounts of time, and now that it had actually come, she was overwhelmed with emotions. She just stood up and walked over to him.

"James…" she whispered.

"Lily" he answered back, not trusting himself to say anything more.

Lily just started up at him and then, with no warning, pulled him into a tight hug. James was taken off guard for a few seconds but then laughed and hugged the girl back.

"I missed you" Lily told him.

"That would be an understatement" Sirius whispered to Sora, who grinned back.

"You have everything set in place right?" Sora whispered back to Sirius, who nodded solemnly.

"Should we start to move out, the platform is getting crowded" Remus asked, being the most sensible person in the group, as usual. Slowly, the H6 started to move out of the platform.

They had almost reached the parking lot when a group of people approached them.

"Hello!" they said brightly, their voices thick with heavy German accents.

"Hello" Sora said back to them, confused, "can we help you?"

"We just came to England from Germany today" one of the people said "so we are not familiar with the people here"

"Oh- do you need help finding someone?" Lily asked. The people shook their heads.

"We were just wondering if you three were Lily Evans, Sora Black, and Sirius Black" they said. "Because you look exactly like them"

"That would be us" Sirius said, causing the group to gasp.

"Really! We read so many articles about you back in Germany!" one of the woman squealed. The group talked to them for a good while before Remus pointed out that they should be going. They quickly walked away from the platform and into the parking lot.

"What the bloody hell was that all about?" James asked as they started to walk towards Sirius's car (which he used whenever they were going to be traveling through any muggle part of town).

"You mean the Germans?" Lily asked.

"Of course I mean the Germans. Since when have you become so famous?" James asked.

"Ever since Sirius, Sora and I started a new department in the ministry" Lily answered.

"Started a new department? That hasn't been done since…" James started

"About a hundred years" Lily answered for him. James looked down at her, impressed.

"What department is it?" he asked

"The Department of Mysteries" Sora answered for him, grinning widely.

"I read something about that" James murmured.

"Nothing major, I hope. It's top secret stuff" Sirius said, putting all of James's suitcases in the trunk.

"Top secret as in spies?" James asked excitedly, sounding like an eager little boy.

"That among other things" Lily said, grinning as well. Lily loved her job, the excitement and mystique of it. Now if only the press would like her job a little less. Ever since the Department had opened everybody had been trying to discover what it was all about.

"Ah- everything has changed so much" James said, getting into the car "you three started your own department, Wormtail got married and has a kid, and Moony is off teaching in Egypt! Is there anything else that I should know about?"

Everybody shared a look and nodded at Lily.

"James…your mum" she started to say. James looked up at her.

"What happened to her?" he asked.

"She ran off" Lily said. James's eyes darkened.

"Ran off as in ran off with another man?" James asked.

"She ran off with Voldemort. She became one of his radical supporters" Jenny explained.

"I knew that she would do something like that- she's insane!" James whispered to himself furiously. His mother was always wrecking everything.

"Don't worry about her- your mum might be a bit evil- but she is a smart woman- she won't get into trouble" Peter said reassuringly.

"It's not my mum I'm worried about" James said darkly. Peter was right- his mother was an extremely smart woman. With her by Voldemort's side, James was worried for the magical community.

"So how was America?" Jenny asked James as Sirius pulled the car out of the parking lot.

"It was quite different" James answered "the weather was milder and I found the people to be a bit more friendly" he added.

"Meet any friendly girls?" Lily asked, eyebrows raised. James grinned.

"Quite a few, in fact" he answered, smiling "but I've found that I don't much like friendly girls" he added. Lily smiled back.

"Ah- so you only like the ones that declare war on you in front of large crowds" she said, grinning, leaning her head on James's shoulder.

"You don't know how glad I am that I'm back" he whispered to Lily.

"I think I have some sort of an idea" she answered.

"Um, Sirius- if I remembered- your apartment was the other way" Peter said suddenly, looking out the window.

"Oh…well it is, isn't it" Sirius said absentmindedly. Lily shot up.

"Where are we going?" she demanded.

"Somewhere" Sora answered, sharing a secret look with her husband.

"Sora…Sirius….I smell one of your famous plans" Jenny said, her voice mildly scolding. She was a bit more mature that the rest of the bunch- but she too always fell for the charm of Sirius and Sora's plans.

"You promised me that you wouldn't do anything to ruin this day!!" Lily cried.

"We aren't going to ruin anything, Lily" Sora said.

"We're just here to help" Sirius added in. Lily gave both of them withering looks.

"What is going on here?' James asked looking around at everybody, confused.

"Ask them" Peter said, pointing to Sora and Sirius.

"You all are so impatient!" Sora said, smiling widely.

Sirius turned the corner and pulled up in front of a huge, old fashioned church with a large crowd in front of it.

"What is going on here?" Lily asked. She turned to her friends only to see all of them smiling to themselves.

"You all are in on something that I don't know aren't you?" she asked.

"We are pretty fine actors if I do say so" Peter said, smiling widely. Lily turned towards James.

"Are you in on this as well?" she asked. James looked at her, confused.

"I just got here" he answered "I'm pretty much as clueless as you are"

"Come on, you two- we have a surprise for you!" Sora said, jumping out of the car and opening up the back door. Everybody tumbled out of the car as Sirius took out a few large packages from the trunk.

"Again- what is going on here?" Lily asked, looking at the crowd of people. She suddenly recognized the people nearest to them.

"Mum…dad?" she asked, gaping. Her mother and father rushed up to her and put her in a big hug.

"Congratulations, my dear" her mum said, beaming. She was wearing a new dress and her father had on his best tuxedo.

"Mum, what in the world is going on? Why are you and dad dressed up so fancy?" Lily asked.

"Oh my, Sora, did you not tell her?" Mrs. Evans said, looking at the girl. Sora smiled back at the woman sheepishly.

"I guess I never really got around to it" she answered, causing Mrs. Evans to laugh.

"Ah- you're just like always, my girl" she said, shaking her head. "I'm rather amused at how everybody here knows its Lily's wedding except for her" she said.

"WEDDING?" Lily and James cried at the same time.

"It's my wedding?" Lily gasped.

"Who is she marrying?" James demanded

"The last time I checked she was engaged to you" Sirius said to his best friend.

"But…us…married…right now?" James sputtered.

"Sirius is the king of spontaneous weddings, is he not?" Remus asked.

"But we can't get married- I don't have a dress!" Lily cried.

"And I don't have a suit" James added. Sirius patted the bags he was holding.

"Oh yes you do. We all went out and chose clothes for you!" Sirius said.

"And we also got rings" Peter said

"And we invited everybody who ever knew either of you" Jenny added.

Lily and James looked up at each other.

"We're going to get married" James said, his voice shot with awe.

"We're going to get married!" Lily cried, a smile creeping up on her face.

And married they were. It was a large ceremony- quite the opposite of the one that Sirius and Sora had many years back. There was a grand procession and the reception went on until late in the night. It was over the top and dreadfully fancy- and Lily and James loved every second of it.

After the reception was done, everybody dispersed on their own ways. James took Lily's hand and smiled at her.

"I guess a whole new chapter of our lives is beginning right now" he said. Lily smiled back up at him.

"I guess it is…" she answered.

"At least now we'll never have to worry about the future" James said. Lily looked up at him.

"Why not?" she asked, confused.

"Because whatever happens to us, at least we'll have each other to fall back on; and that's all we need" James answered. Lily beamed up at him. He was right after all- they had each other and they always would.

A/N: So okay, here is the chapter that most of you have prob. been waiting forever for me to write. The story is almost at an end now- there will only be a few more chapters. Next chapter the group has baby drama and Peter starts to turn over to the dark side. Everything will start making sense very soon- so stick around, okay?
