Yay! Chapter seventeen is here! I havn't been to keen on this story lately, as I doubt you have. Of course I don't own Harry Potter yet...YET. Anyways, something of a BIG suprise is comming up and I think some of you wont see it comming. Anyways if your hoping to see more Lily/James stuff-well this is your chapter. I'll try to make this angsty still...but I'm not making any promises. If your wondering about the Quidditch game well...keep wondering. As for the last chapter I forgot to write the other placement on the Quidditch team. Sorry about that. My computer spazed and froze up when I tried to type it in but it wouldn't let me. I was also trying to print this marauder picture from Tina-ling's website. And it was awfully cute but my damn printer wouldn't work! Anyways, I hope you enjoy this fic...

The Ignored

Although he had never been a big fan of weddings, particularily because of ther certain dress code, James still looked super on Thursday, the day of the wedding. He wore a dark suit and had tried every spell in the book to keep his hair down straight-finally acheiving with the too stick spell. Lily laughed when she saw his hair flat and finally understood why he had never concidered to keep it that way.

"You know," she said smiling sweetly. "I take back all those times I buggered at you to keep it down. You look more handsome with it spiked." James shot her his ever sarcastic look and proceded to fix his hair. Lily turned and fished a box from her bag.

"I wanted to give this to you on Valintines day, but I think now would be better." He took her box and raised a brow.

"Cologne?'' he asked slowly. Lily rolled her eyes and grabbed it from him. She pointed insanely at the brand writen across the box in light green letters.

"James, it's not just cologne. Samsa is one of the best out there! I spent eighty five muggle dollors on it!" James still didn't seem to impressed but smiled at his girlfriend meekly.

"Sorry Lils...but even still..it makes me feel upset about the gift I got you." he said softly. Lily colored.

"You didn't have to.." She was caught of by James' crackle of laughter.

"Lily, I spent three years drowning you in gifts even when you hated me! Why would I stop when you actually like me?" he asked. Lily smiled softly. It was quite silly of her to say that.

"Well, are you going to tell me what you got, or do I have to wait?" she asked shyly. James laughed and tapped some colonge on his neck.

"You'll have to wait, sorry Lily." Lily pouted slightly but giggled. James looked very decent with his sute and tie on. Lily walked up behind him and kissed his shoulder, breathing in his scent mixed with the cologne.

"Smells lovely, love." she whispered huskily. James turned to face her. Both of their faces were close and each could feel the other's hot breath upon them. James leaned in to kiss Lily, but she slightly backed away. James stared at her in confusion.

"Sorry. Um, just not right now." she said softly. James sighed but nodded.

"Okay.Let's get going." The two left Sirius' room in silence. Sirius, Remus and Peter were standing right outside the dor, fixing their ties and hair in a length merrior. Each were shoving eachother playfully around to get a spot in the middle. And all three looked just as handsome as the next. Sirius dressed in a tux was even more stunning then him in school robes, and Remus, with Sirius' dress robes, looked absolutly gorgeous. Peter was dressed in dark dressrobe and had styled his hair slightly. Lily couldn't believe she actually found him attractive.

"Ay, took you guys long enough!" Remus said with a lopsided grin when he noticed James and Lily. Sirius and Peter stoped fighting over the merior and joined their pal.

"Looking nice, James. Lily, you too. Ah, no wonder we're so popular." Sirius said grinning. Peter poked his shoulder and smirked.

"Tell that to your girlfriend." Sirius cocked a brow in confusion and turned to Remus. Sadly, the boy had his back to him and was smiling eagerly to a girl dressed in golden robes. A badge she wore on her robes were that of a horse. The Higgs' crest. Her honeysuckle brown hair was in bouncy curls and she too wore the same shy smile. Behind her stood a meek looking girl with dark robes looking around paranoid. She had her black and white hair in two braids and played with a loose strand of white.

"Hey, Sapphira." Remus said breathlessly. She smiled once again shyly and walked toward him.

"Hello Remus. You are looking like quite the gentleman, I must say. It's a shame you don't keep your hair styled like that more often." Sapphira's misty voice made Remus shudder. Her deep eyes made him feel empty and the way the robes clung to her body made him fel embarassed and excited all at once. Never, he thought, had he seen such a lucious creature. Sure, he'd dated once or twice, and those girls were all very pretty in his opinion, but none of them even nearly compared with Sapphira. Not their light or dark hair. Not their rosey cheeks and lips. Not even their well endowed bodies that made most of the boys at Hogwarts sigh in delight. Sapphira was all of her own, and he felt honored to be in her presance.

"Let's go." a slightly drowsy voice said suddenly. Remus and Sapphira broke their stare and looked up at the raven haired witch leaning against the wall with her arms tightly crossed.

"Oh, yeah." Remus said blushing. Drusella raised a brow and lead the group down the stairs.

James looked around as he and the others headed for the wedding. Along the walls there were several pictures. Like the ones from his world. Few were left of Sirius, but those that remained were those of his early childhood. One had him and Mrs. Black panning through spell books. Sirius must have been about two or three because Mrs.Black was rounded with Regulas. Another showed the whole Black family. Narcissa, whose usual haughty face structure was common, had pink chubby cheeks and her light blonde hair in braids.

Another was of a pretty woman and a young man. Both had emensly dark hair and round eyes. The woman had angelic skin and her hair was pulled back at the nape of her neck. She wore a white dress that must have been silky and the neck was lacey and decorated with pale ribbon.

The man had lighter hair then the woman, but it was still very dark. He had chocolate brown eyes and wore a black tunic. His hands sat on the woman's shoulders and often played with a strand of her hair. Both were smiling and laughing.

"That's my mum and dad when they were teens." Sirius said, stepping up to the couple. Their marrige was arranged. I guess you can tell by how diffrent they act towards each other. But, when I was little, they acted like the perfect couple. Then as Regulus and I got older, they showed their true colors. Mum agonized dad crazy. Now, he perposly works longer hours.

"It was funny, when I was eleven, just before the letter came, they got into this huge argument. Regulus and I were in the next room over. He started wailing beyond belief and they came rushing in. He must have been about five or six. They got of choked up after that-quit fighting while we were around."

Lily blinked and Sirius grinned at her. James was hurriedly following the others. They could hear Narcissa's loud complaints about her dress robes from down the stairs.

"Well, Evans, we better get going!" he said sighing. Lily nodded and the two headed down the squeaky set of stairs.

Gathered in the Black's large livingroom, were dozons of couples and families. A man and a women, both equal in lanky and skinniness, stood by he grand fire-place. They stood out because the man's eyes and nose, the the woman's face shape and hair color were identical to that of one member of the little group. Mr. and Mrs. Higgs.

They noticed thier daughter, Sapphira,and waved slightly. Their structure was alot like the Black's, infact, practically the whole room was filled with up-tight looking people with pursed lips and thin eyebrows, enough for the perfect look of haugtiness.

Sirius noticed his mother and father by the clock talking to a unfamilier man and woman. They both had very dark hair and golden skin. He suspected they must have had something to do with the ministry-his dad knew alot of people in the ministry that he didn't. When a tinkle like bell rang through the house, everyone began to shift outdoors.

Lily's eyes widened as she steped outside. It was gorgous! The most beautiful wedding she'd ever seen- and boy had seen many ones very spectacular. Muggle weddings were nothing compared to this. Long, church like benches sat over the lush green grass and were isled by an emboraidered white and pink carpet that lead to the alter.

The entire backyeard had been morphed into one of the most romantic scenes Lily had ever laid eyes on. Doves clomped around the pond and hearts made of assorted flowers hung magically in mid air.

Lily looked at her companions and was releived to see the same suprised look on her fellow muggle-born, Drusella's, face. Even Remus and Peter looked quite impressed. But James and Sirius walked to their seats on the bride's side, unfazed by the beauty that stood around them.

'Oh them!' she thought. 'Rich wizards, they're so hard to please.' Lily pulled in next to James who scooted over while Sirius pulled Druslla next to him. Remus slid in next to Lily and Sapphira and Peter followed.

Sapphira looked around subconciously, noticing some girls about their age taking a seat a few benches behind them. They were dressed in their best robes, and their dark hair were weaved or braised or curled. On the grooms side, three girls had slid in across from Sapphira and the rest. One had frizzy red hair, another with wavy brown hair and the last with long, straight, dirty blonde hair. The red head tilted her head toward James, Sirius and Remus, who were busy fighting over a snitch in James' hand, and they began to giggle. Sapphira heared Drusella sigh. The sigh she gave when she was utterly bored with life and was longing to have her gutair to write morbid songs about it.

'Sorry, Dru...' she thought mentally giggiling.

"Hi!" a cheery voice said out of nowhere. Sapphira looked up to see the blonde and brunette and red head standing by their bench all misty eyed and pink cheeked. Remus, Sirius and James quit playing immideitly and stared up at their suprise company.

"Hello." Peter said in a small voice. The brunete giggled lightly.

"I'm Shawnna. And that's Morganna and Cordelia." The brunette said, pointing to the red head and blonde. They both grinned sheepishly.

"We're cousins of the groom." Morganna said quickly. Sirius smiled and held his hand out, leaning toward them to shake their hands. The girls giggled again.

"I'm Sirius Black, cousin of bride. And these are my friends. The boy with the glasses is James Potter, that girl beside him is his girl Lily Evans. This lovely lady here is Drusella Cammolie-don't mind her scrowl look, she hates everybody-that Remus Lupin and his girl Sapphira Higgs, and that right there is our mate, Peter Pettigrew." he said carefully, his charming grin still layed over his good looking face.

"It's nice to meet you all. Now that we're cousins of some sort, Sirius." Shawnna said, flashing her perfectly straight teeth.

"Oh yeah. It's great to meet you too." Sirius said. Remus looked at him alarmingly. He was defidently flirting. And right in front of Drusella too! Padfoot could be such a player. He glanced over at Drusella worriedly. But she hadn't had seemed to notice. She rather looked as though she'd fall asleep at any moment.

"Hey-you okay?'' he leaned in and asked her in a voice so low, that Sirius couldn't hear. Dru lifted her head from her arm that was resting lazily on her knee, and raised an uninterested brow.

"I said, are you okay?' " he repeated. She blinked slightly and nodded.

"Never been better." she answered dryly. That was no suprise though.

"Oh, okay then." he said slowly.

James and Lily sat quietly. There wasn't really much to talk about. Lily was still busy, gazing dreamily at the wedding decorations and gasping here and there. James found this really boring. Where was an amazing supried situation when you needed one? At least that would be interesting.

'How about him.' the nasty voice in his head sneered. James clentched his teeth. 'Dammit!' his real thoughts growled. 'It hasn't died away yet.' It was the same dead depressing voice that he had when he was suicidal and angry.

'Would having him here make things interesting?'

"Shut up." he muttered under his breath. That sniviling, nosy, two timming, annoying voice in his head really started to unnerve him. Of course he didn't want 'him' to come. That was ludicris. Why would anyone hope for a mass murderer to show up just for their enjoyment? 'No.' he thought intently. 'I do NOT want him to show up. Not here. Not at all. I wish he'd die along with that stupid voice!'

As James thought this, the tune of a large organ playing filled his ears. He looked up, startled, to see a little girl, with the Black's trademark dark hair and good looks, slowly walking down the asile, dropping a handfull of roses as she passed. Her look was intent, and she faltered, as flower girls were supposed to. A few "aw's " were heared from the crowed, but the girl didn't smile or grin once.

'Damn' James thought. ' Even the little Black's are uptight. Whoever marries Sirius' aunt better be real headstrong.'

When the bride walked down, the intire room turned and watched her as she gracefully strode across the asile. Lily felt a little jab of jealousy in her heart.

'Oh she's so pretty, like a doll. And look at how James is looking at her. I'll never be that beautiful of a bride.' Indeed, the bride was very beautiful. She wore a white silk robe that trailed behind her like a white ocean. In her folded hands, she held a bouquet of white roses. Lily looked back up at the alter. A handsome young man with light brown hair, bouncing nervously, stared at her breathlessly.

'Aww...how sweet. That long look of love.' she thought longingly. 'It's just like how James looks at you!' the voice in the back of your head that's always trying to grab your attention, cried. She felt herself blush.

Lily looked over at James who looked a little paranoid. He bit his lip and shivered. She smiled and shook her head gigilishly. That was her James.

Yeah. Her James.
