Epilogue: Two years later
"Are you two part of the Order?"
"Yes, James and I are fighting for a better world," said Lily with a smile.
"Brave of you," grunted Aberforth.
"Even braver of you to help your brother," she said kindly, linking her hand with James's.
"Mostly people just compare me to him," said Aberforth with a small smile. "How long have you two known each other?"
"Oh, Lily and I have been married for two - what's wrong with you, Padfoot?" asked James indignantly. Sirius was collapsing with laughter. Remus was glaring at him. They couldn't find out.
"As I was saying," said James, watching Sirius who was wiping at his eyes. "I've been married to Lily for two years - Oi, Moony! Not you too!" he said angrily.
Both of them were clutching each other, tears streaming down their faces as they laughed. "Why do you always go loopy when I mention my marriage? Think it's funny, do you?" demanded James.
At this point they laughed even harder. James was at a loss. Lily apologized to Aberforth on behalf of the two Marauders and lifted Moony into the air. He floated above the sea of people in the Order's party.
Sirius joined Remus in the air. He was gasping for breath. The pair laughed all the way out into the hall, still floating in the air.
"I think they're drunk," said James. Lily looked thoughtful.
"Speaking of that, I think I was drunk when we got married."
"Nah," said James with a smile.
