A/N: Yeah, the next chapter! I hope you like this one, I took me awhile to write. It's the longest chapter that I've written for this story, and I hope I did okay.
Disclaimer; I don't own Harry Potter!
From the time Lily woke up the next morning, she was doing something. She took a nice, long, hot bubble bath when she first woke up. After her calming bath, the rest of her bridesmaids (Rose, Roxanne, Alice and Dom) woke up and they left Teddy and Lily's flat for the Burrow.
As soon as Lily came through the Floo, Grandma Weasley was hugging her. "I can't believe that its Lily Luna's wedding day." She said as she hugged Lily. Lily smiled and hugged her Grandmother back.
"I can't believe it either, Grandma." Lily whispered. When they pulled away, Mrs. Weasley looked at Lily and said, "You're looking a little skinny, dear. You need to eat something before the wedding." Lily really wasn't that hungry, but she knew that there was no getting around Grandma Molly. So she ate a little breakfast before her Mum, her Aunt Hermione and Aunt Fleur came and dragged Lily and her bridesmaids up stairs. They went into Ginny's old room and began to get the girls ready for the wedding.
*At James' flat*
Teddy woke up with a splitting headache and the need to throw up. After throwing up, he found Albus (who was the only one up) in the kitchen pouring some hangover potion into cups. He smirked when he saw Teddy.
"Well if it isn't the groom. You got wasted last night, mate." Teddy groaned "Shut up and hand me a cup of that nasty potion." Albus' smirk didn't leave his face as he handed Teddy the potion. Teddy drank it down quickly while holding his nose. It didn't taste nearly as bad as the wolfbane, but it didn't taste like chocolate frogs either.
Teddy could already start to feel the effects of the potion. After two minutes, Teddy's hangover was gone. He smiled at Albus. "Thanks mate, I own you one. Must have been a bitch making this potion with a hangover yourself," Albus glared at him.
"You have no idea how horrible it was, so you better be thankful, Lupin," Teddy ruffled Albus' natural messy hair with a chuckle, which caused Albus to glare at him again. Teddy gave him a wolfish grin.
"Bloody werewolves," Albus muttered as he finished putting the potion in cups. When he finished, her looked over at Ted and said, "Mind waking those wankers up?" Teddy smirked before pulling his wand out of his pants pocket and pointing it at his throat.
"TIME TO RISE AND SHINE BOYS, IT'S A BEAUTIFUL DAY AND THE BRIDS ARE SINGING! COME ON YOU LOT, GET UP! JAMES~! WAKEY, WAKEY," He said the last bit in a sing song voice. All the other men groaned or told Teddy to fuck off or shut up. After about ten minutes James, Fred and Hugo made their way into the kitchen, all looking like crap. Teddy smiled brightly at them, which earned him glares.
"Ah, good you're up! We have to start getting ready for the wedding soon." Fred muttered something under his breath that sounded like, "Jump off a bridge, Lupin,", James glared at Teddy and Hugo, sweet, naive, quiet Hugo, flipped Teddy the bird and gulped down the potion.
After Teddy's other mates left and the ushers took the potion, the boy all made their way to the Burrow to get ready for the wedding.
*In Heaven*
"Oh that was just cruel!" Sirius shouted after Teddy woke the boys up. James and Remus glared at their good friend.
"You hypocrite, you did the same thing after James' stag party." Remus hissed.
"Yeah, well when I did, it was funny." Sirius said as he crossed his arms over his chest. Remus and James kept on glaring at Sirius for a while, until Tonks and Lily walked into the living room.
Tonks wore a beautiful purple dress that was both sexy and elegant. Her hair was still bubble gum pink, but it was in a bun with two curly pieces framing her face. As soon as Remus saw her his mouth began to water and his eyes almost bugged out.
Lily wore a beautiful emerald gown that matched her eyes perfectly. Her hair was down in elegant curls and her makeup was very light and natural looking. James looked like he was going to jump her.
"Dora," Remus after he could speak again, "You look beautiful." Tonks batted her eye lashes and blew Remus a kiss.
"Bloody hell, Lily," James said as he took his wife in his arms, "You look hot," Lily rolled her eyes at her husband.
"Oi, what are you two dressed up for?" Sirius asked. Lily and Tonks shared at look before Tonks said, "For the wedding, of course. We are going after all, and as the mother of the groom, I have to look good." Sirius looked at her as if she had gone mental.
"Have you gone mental; you can't go to the wedding, Tonks!" He yelled. He didn't notice that Remus and James slipped away to get dressed.
"Sirius, they are reserving our seats. To all the living people it will look like our seats are empty, with a flower on the seat meant for us, but in reality we will be there for the wedding. We did the same thing for Harry's wedding, you idiot."
Sirius blushed before saying, "Oh yeah." By this time James and Remus were back, both wearing their tuxes. It was Tonks and Lily's turn to drool now.
"Merlin why didn't you wear a tux to our wedding," Lily asked before she kissed James. Tonks was about to kiss Remus when a cry from Sirius was heard. The two couples turned to look over at Sirius.
"Which side do I sit on? The bride's side or the groom's side," The four others rolled their eyes.
"Where ever your name is, so more than likely on the Grooms side since Teddy is your cousin." Lily said.
"Now all we have to do is wait around for a bit," Sirius quickly ran into his room and changed into a tux.
*Back at the Burrow*
Lily sat in a very uncomfortable chair while her Aunt Hermione and Aunt Fleur began to do her hair, the Muggle way. She didn't like having her hair pulled or almost being burned by the hair straightener or the curling iron, but she tried to be a good little bride and let the older women do their jobs without having her crying out in pain.
After an hour and a half of doing her hair, Aunt Hermione told her that her hair was done, but she couldn't look into the mirror until she was completely finished. Fleur began to do Ginny's hair, but with more magic, while Rose went to work on Lily's makeup. It didn't take as long to do her makeup; it only took about fifteen minutes. Now it was time to put her dress on.
After Rose cast several charms to keep her makeup from getting on the dress or smearing and to keep her hair in the perfect place, she slipped her dress and began to put on her garter the necklace she got from Teddy for Christmas (She didn't normally take it off, but she did today while her aunts did her hair), and had Roxanne help her with her earrings.
*With Teddy*
As soon as Teddy got the Burrow, Harry made him take a shower. "Sorry to tell you this, Ted, but you smell like fire whiskey and sweat." Harry said before he pushed in Godson into the bathroom and locked the door. "Don't come out until one of the boys come and get you. We don't want you to walk into the wrong room and find Lily," Harry called from outside the door. At the sound of Lily's name, Teddy's heart lunched. He hadn't seen her since early yesterday morning. It was the longest they'd gone without seeing each other since Lily moved in with him.
With a sigh, Teddy turned on the water and undressed.
Once in the shower, Teddy took a minute to relax. The warm water was doing wonderful for calming his muscles. After a few minutes of just standing under the shower of water, Teddy began to clean up.
When he was finally done with his shower, he put on an extra tee shirt and pair of jeans. He wouldn't be wearing them long, but he didn't want to walk around the Burrow butt naked before his wedding. It wasn't long before a knock came from the door. Teddy opened the door to find Hugo, one of his ushers, already in his tux. (the ushers or Groomsmen were James, Albus Hugo and Fred) (They wanted it to be more like a Muggle wedding, plus Teddy hated itchy, hot dress robes)
"Well come on, you have to be ready before Lily does." Teddy followed Lily's favorite cousin/best friend to Ron's old room. He left Teddy along to change into his tux. His tux was black, and with a red bow tie and a red vest. After he changed, he changed his hair back to his usual turquoise color, now he that he was dressed; he looked ready for the wedding. But he wasn't quite there yet.
*Spirit, Remus and Tonks*
Remus stood before his son, a sad look upon his face. Teddy held his face in his hands. Suddenly, he looked up at the ceiling and said, "I wish you were here, Mum and Dad." Dora appeared next to Remus, tears running down her cheeks. Remus pulled his wife too him and kissed her hair as a single tear ran down his cheek. Dora broke away from Remus and kissed Teddy's cheek; to Teddy it felt like an ice cube touched his cheek. He looked around, looking for the source of the cold feeling.
"We love you, Teddy. We are here baby, we just wish you could see us," Tonks said as a tear ran down her cheek and onto Teddy's hand. Teddy looked down at his hand to see a teardrop, but he wasn't crying, yet. He looked around for a second before a small smile appeared on his lips.
"Maybe you are here after all," He whispered finally.
Tonks held on to Remus as she sobbed into his chest.
*Lily*
"So do you have your something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue?" Rose asked her cousin. Lily nodded; she was a little upset because they still hadn't let her look in the mirror.
"Something old are the earrings that Mum and Grandma wore to their weddings, something new the dress, something borrowed is the bracelet that mum lent me, and something blue is my garter, now can I please look at myself in the mirror?" Lily asked.
"Yes," Rose said. Lily walked over to mirror and gasped at what she saw.
The girl before her looked almost like a fairy princess. She had her red hair curled and half of it was pulled back and put in a beautiful clip. On top of her head was a circle of red and turquoise roses (they had to charm the turquoise ones). She wore a beautiful white gown. The sleeves were off the shoulders and made of a lacy type fabric. The top was made with the same lacelike fabric over solid white fabric. Her skirt was short, but not too short. It stopped at her feet and didn't drag, and made her look fairylike. Her makeup was light and natural, with that and the white of the dress, it really brought out her green eyes and red hair, but in a good way.
"Wow," Was all Lily could say. Ginny came up to her daughter, tears in her eyes and she hugged Lily.
"You look beautiful, Lily-pad." She told her daughter. Thank Merlin that this makeup is charmed to be waterproof; Lily thought when she felt tears well up in her eyes.
*Teddy and his Ushers*
Teddy didn't tell anyone about the teardrop, because he knew that everyone would think he was crazy; everyone but Lily and Harry that is. When he told Harry about the teardrop, he smiled sadly at him and said, "I know for a fact that Remus and Tonks are here as are my parents, Sirius and Fred." Harry said it with such confidence.
Now they were outside of the Burrow. The wedding was going to start soon, and most of the guests were seated. Ginny had already been taken too her seat by James, as had Andromeda. Teddy took a look at the empty seats besides his Gran and the few beside were Harry would sit.
Nymphadora "Tonks" Lupin, Mother of the Groom
Remus John "Moony" Lupin, Father of the Groom
Sirius "Padfoot" Black, Cousin of the Groom and Godfather of the Bride's Father
Lily Evens Potter, Grandmother and Namesake of the Bride
James "Prongs" Potter, Grandfather of the Bride
Fred "Forge" Weasley, Uncle of the Bride
On each seat there was a flower along with the card that said their name and relation to the Bride or Groom. His mother's flower was a bubble gum pink rose that change colors once in a while, his father's flower was a Ipomoea alba (Moonflower) charmed to think that it was evening, Lily and Teddy picked the flower because of its nickname. Lily Evens Potter had a daylily, the Chinese symbol for mother. James' was a Hyacinth, which stood for games, sports and rashness. Fred's flower was a Cactus-Saguaro Blossom, which stood for endurance and bravery. Sirius' flower was the Bittersweet, because it stood for truth. Only a few people knew why they chose to use the flowers as they did, but the few people who knew cried when they told them of the flowers they picked.
Teddy had a feeling that those empty seats weren't as empty as they appeared, he swore he could fell his parents in the tent.
"Teddy, it's time to take your place, the wedding is about to start," James told him. Teddy nodded and made his way over to the altar. His gaze fell on his parents "empty" chairs once more before he turned his gaze to the back of the tent, were Lily would come through.
*Lily*
Lily was fixing her flowers when her father walking into the room. Harry stopped in his tracks saw his daughter; Lily looked up from her flowers and smiled.
"Hi Daddy," She whispered just loud enough for him to hear. Harry slowly made his way over to his daughter.
"Lily," he said, tears welling up in his eyes before he hugged his daughter, "when did you grow up, Tiger-Lily?" Lily chuckled a bit while they pulled away.
"You were there for most of it; it did take about seventeen, eighteen years." Lily answered. Harry smiled sadly at his daughter.
"I guess I never really wanted to let go of my girl," Harry whispered. Lily smiled and kissed her father's cheek. "Are you ready to walk me down the aisle, Daddy," Lily asked. Harry took a deep breath.
"To be honest, I rather face Voldemort again," Lily smack him on the arm, causing Harry to flinch.
"Kidding, just kidding, Lily." Lily rolled her eyes before she took her father's arm.
"No more Lily Luna Potter," Lily said softly as they made their way out of the Burrow. They came to the tent, and all the people in the entire tent rose. Lily's breathing caught when she saw Teddy.
"No, no more Lily Luna Potter, in a few minutes you'll be Lily Luna Lupin," Harry muttered softly. So softly that Lily could barely hear it.
*Normal*
Teddy couldn't tare his gaze away from her, she was beautiful. And she about to become my wife, Teddy thought to himself as Harry and Lily slowly made their way down the aisle. Lily's bridesmaids were already at the altar and now everyone's attention was on the beautiful bride herself.
After what felt like forever, Lily and Harry finally made it to the front of the tent.
"Who gives this witch to this wizard," Asked the wizard who was marring Teddy and Lily. Harry took a deep breath before saying, "I, Harry James Potter, give my daughter to my Godson." Lily kissed her father's cheek, and Harry and Teddy shook hands.
"Take care of her, Ted," Harry told him. Teddy smiled and nodded. Harry quickly made his way back to his seat next to Ginny. Teddy looked at his beautiful bride and said, "You look beautiful." Lily smiled, "You don't look bad yourself, Lupin." And so the wedding began. After what felt like ages, the minister had them pull out their wands. After the spells and the rings were exchanged, the minister said, "I now pronouns you Wizard and wife, you may kiss the bride." Teddy didn't have to be told twice. It was a very loving kiss, and neither wanted it too end. "Oi, save it for the honeymoon, Lupin," James yelled. They both pulled apart, blushing.
"May I present to you, Mr. and Mrs. Ted Remus Lupin."
*In Heaven*
They didn't stay after the Wedding.
Tonks bawled like a baby the whole time, but so did Ginny, Lily, Molly Weasley and Sirius.
"I wasn't crying, I was sweating from my eyes," Sirius yelled when James began to pick on him.
"Sirius, that isn't possible." Remus said, rolling his eyes at his good friend. Sirius pointed his finger at Remus and yelled, "You don't know me," this caused everyone to give him an odd look.
"Um, Sirius, I'm pretty sure he knows you," Fred said. Sirius grumbled something about "America Muggle Tele," before storming off to his room.
*On Earth*
After the wedding, they newlyweds went on a quick ride on their broomsticks before they came back for the reception. They had a good time, but Lily and Teddy were about ready to hex James when he made his toast. He had already had a few drinks, so he was already a little buzzed.
"Teddy has always been like a brother too me….. Which is weird, because he married my sister? Which would be incest, right," was the opening line for his speech, which caused Lily and Teddy to both go red.
By the nights end, Lily and Teddy where both ready for some alone time, so when they left the Burrow at one o'clock in the morning, went straight to their bedroom when they got home, and didn't come back out until it was time to go on the honeymoon.
A/N: I really hope you liked this chapter. It's the longest chapter that I've written for this story. Thank you for reading, don't forget to review! I had to do the joke with James being drunk. He would do it, i swear!
