An: sorry it took me so long to post this, a friend of mine got sick, well here it is:
Lily was wandering the halls with James, Sirius and Peter right behind her. They had to find Mora.
Lily was shaken, that was the most bizarre thing to ever happen in their divination class, they had seen the future; she was going to marry James (no big shock there, she had been secretly daydreaming about it for a while) but the most shocking thing was the fact that Mora was going to die, I mean we all are going to die, but Mora would die soon.
Lily spotted Mora sitting on a window ledge of the North Tower looking out at the lake and the forbidden forest.
"Wait here for a moment, I want to talk to her for a minute" Lily said to the guys behind her before she quietly walked up to stand next to her best friend.
"Well… that was interesting" Mora said still not looking at Lily, Lily could see that Mora's eyes where shining with unshed tears and that there were two wet trails down her checks.
"Mora-" Lily started to say something, anything. But Mora stopped her by gathering her in to a tight hug.
"You make a beautiful bride" Mora whispered, not trusting her voice to stay strong if she spoke any louder.
"Mora…. We're going to have to go dress shopping much earlier than we thought, I'm going to need your help" Lily said.
It was odd here she was planning her own wedding and James had not even proposed yet.
"Well I don't have to worry about old age" Mora said with fake enthusiasm, the boys were approaching Mora and Lily and Mora didn't want this to turn in to a 'let's all pity Mora' moment.
"I must say…. I look good in the future" Sirius said. Grabbing Mora away from Lily's loose grip to pull her in to anther tight hug.
"You looked good, come on. Did you see me in my tux, that was the definition of dashing and debonair" James said.
"Can you even spell debonair, James?" Mora asked as she was passed from Sirius's hug to James's waiting arms.
"Sure… um d,e,v,o,n,a,i,r right?" He asked.
"No silly, it's a b not a v" Mora said looking up at him shacking her head, he even pronounced it with a v. Mora giggled as James let go of her.
"Really, all these years and no one has said anything?" James asked.
"What is, debonair?" Peter asked. Mora pulled him in to a hug.
"It means elegant and sophisticated" Mora said as Peter rubbed her back.
"That does not change the fact that I looked quite dashing" James said puffing out his chest and striking his 'hero' pose.
"I think you are all missing the main point" Remus said "my hair looks really good like that" He said reaching for Mora.
Mora thought that when this 'pass around Mora' thing started that she would feel stupid, that it would be awkward, but in fact it made her feel better. She was fine, it was all right, sure she just got the news that she was going to die a lot sooner than she thought, but this gave her the chance to live a little.
Mora gave Remus one last squeeze before she let go.
"I'm hungry, and I think I want some cake" Mora said walking towards the kitchens, lunch was over and dinner wouldn't be served for hours, but she figured she would be fine if she skipped a class or two.
"Chocolate cake" James said licking his lips.
"No way, vanilla" Lily said glaring at him in mock anger.
"Oh dear Merlin this will be the wedding from hell to plan!" Sirius said
Mora was really trying to not fall asleep, but it was her last class and it was potions!!
Lily nudged Mora in the side and she sat up straighter, thinking Lily was trying to get her to pay attention, but she was handing her a note.
' Mo- I have a question, all this 'wedding' stuff and James hasn't said anything to me. Not like I'm expecting him to propose right now or anything, but I thought we would have talk about it by now. You don't think he is feeling awkward about this do you? Or am I over thinking this? -Lil'
Mora smiled, she was glad that everyone was done treating her like a china doll.
' Lil- that was two questions, but I don't think James knows how to deal with this, How would anyone deal with this? He found out about your wedding, this is kind of a big deal, maybe you just need to talk to him. -Mo"
Mora knew that Lily and James would be just fine. The hard part of their relationship was over; they were together. The years of denial were over, thank Merlin!
"So James asked me how I thought he should propose to Lily." Remus told Mora, they were 'studying' in the library. In fact they were really just catching up on gossip, watching there fellow classmates and giving Lily and James a chance to be alone while Sirius pulled some prank and Peter tagged along with Sirius.
"Really, what did you say?"
"Well, I didn't even know what to say. I mean she knows it's coming. He knows that she's going to say yes."
"Lily asked me if I thought anything was wrong with James, she just wants to talk to him about this."
"Mora, I am so tired of sorting out their problems for them, those two buggers are making my life much more complicated."
"I know what you mean, come on we're what, like 18 and we have to plan a wedding" Mora smiled, even thought she was also saddened by the memory of the wedding that she would not attend.
"You'll make it amazing" Remus said nudging her out of her depressing thoughts.
Lily was bouncing her foot up and down, annoying Mora to no end. She was waiting for James to meet her in the common room before they went on patrol aka they 'talked'.
"What could be taking him soooo long?" She asked as Mora clamed her hand down on Lily's leg stilling her foot, and sending her a death glare at the same time.
"I know that she already knew that it's coming, but maybe I should still ask her to marry me, you know… still propose." James said running his hand threw his hair looking at his best friends.
"I think you should just talk about it, tell her how you feel and get everything out in the open" Remus said.
"She will still want you to ask her" Peter reminded him.
"But come on, we all know what her answer will be. You got the hard thing out of the way; you don't have to worry about her answer" Sirius said playing with a muggle yo-yo.
"Your right, I'm gonna go for it!" James said jumping of the bed, but had to turn himself around to face the door and head down the stairs. He was still going over what he wanted to say as his friend's laughter followed him down the stairs.
Lily was now drumming her fingers on the side of the couch, and while the action was not producing much noise Mora was boring a hole in the side of Lily's face with her heated glare.
Mora's hand whipped out and grabbed Lily's mid drum.
"I'm serious, calm down. Everything will be just fine" Mora assured her releasing her hand.
"I know, but what if-" But Lily stopped her thought James was hurrying down the stairs and she jumped off the couch.
"Um, he-hey Lily… ah, wanna go on a walk?" James asked running his hand threw his hair as all of his prepared speech flew out of his head and he was left to stutter along.
Lily was annoyed, at least three times in the last five minutes she thought James had worked up the nerve to talk to her about the marriage, but each time he ended up stating something beyond obvious, like the last thing her said 'the castle is really tall' she was beginning to doubt her judgment in even liking the boy.
"Lily-- I um" James begun, "I don't know how to talk to you about this" James stopped and looked at his love. Her eyes seemed to gain a sudden look of happiness as she stopped walking and looked up at him.
"Lily, oh I don't know how I got my self in to this, but… I love you. You know that, everyone knows that, Bloody hell most people knew that before I did" James stopped for a moment and took a deep breath.
"Lily I have imagined my life with you in it for a long time, and seeing us get married the other day in class; that was no shock to me. I wanted to know if you felt the same way, if you saw your future with me as I see mine with you?" James said.
Lily was silent for a minute, "what did I get myself in to?" James mumbled as he took Lily's silence as a bad sign and he prepared himself for the scolding that was sure to come.
"James do you know what you got your self in to?" Lily asked mocking his self doubt "I love you, you will never be rid of me" Lily said.
James was relived, he swooped Lily up in to a tight hug and begin to rain light kisses down on her face.
"Oh good… I love you… thank Merlin" He muttered between kisses finally setting her down.
James looked deep in to her eyes and knelt down on one knee, causing Lily to turn bright red.
"lily I love you, and I never want to be with out you, will you marry me?" James asked.
"Oh course!" Lily answered. James stood placing his hands on wither side of her face, she expected him to draw her in to hurried kiss, but she slowly lowered his lips on to hers expressing his desire and passion for her.
Lily was over come with emotions, she was engaged! To James, her love, she never thought that she could even feel this much love for someone much less than contain it in her, she began to let her feeling out in their kiss
"Sirius I am being completely serious when I say move it" Mora said trying to push the tall boy back in side.
"Oh come on Mora, it was your idea to follow them in the first place" Sirius reminded her, not moving an inch.
"Remus a little help?" Mora begged as she tried to throw all of her weight in to Sirius. She ended up bouncing off him and in to Peter who was toughly distracted by Lily and James's very heated make out session.
"Come on guys, this is a very privet moment, we should be here!" Mora wined.
"Then why did you want to follow them, you little closet voyeur?" Sirius asked causing a blush to rise in Mora's cheeks.
"Guys James is looking over here!" Peter said scared that James would catch them spying in on his 'moment'. Sirius grabbed Mora's arm and Remus some how kept them all under the invisibility cloak as the darted back in to the castle.
