Rebecca stepped in to the house and felt a cold chill hanging over the house. She pulled her arms around herself as she glanced at the clock seeing it was 4 in the morning. She made her way down to the basement and felt the door was locked. She unlocked it with a simple alohamora and stepped in to the basement. It was even colder down here. She squinted through the darkness and her eyes landed on the cage in the corner where Remus was curled up on a small cot, his naked body littered with scratches and bite marks. Her heart fell as she stared at him shivering and she grabbed the keys from off the wall and ran to the cage door and unlocked it. She hurried over to him and touched his face lightly.
"Oh merlin you're ice cold. Come on lets get you upstairs." She said and helped to sit him up and he gave her a small moan.
"Come on lets get you warm." She said, wrapping her arm around his middle, careful to not touch any cuts and helped lift him up.
"Remus do you think you can help me a little?" She asked as she tried to stand up with him and nearly toppled over with him. He didn't make a sound as his face buried in to her neck, his body still limp and she sighed and magically lifted him up and brought him upstairs to the bedroom. She started a roaring fire in front of the bed and she got out bandages and paste and got to work on his cuts.
"Becky.' He mumbled as she applied some paste to a rather large cut on his chest and he gave a small lurch from the pain.
"I know, I'm sorry." She said and kissed his forehead.
Once she had him bandages up she made sure he had plenty of covers before getting herself ready for bed, thankful she didn't have to go in to work that day, and crawled in to bed next to him before drifting off to sleep.
She was woken up by a shift in the bed and she sat up and looked at the clock on the bedside that read five past noon.
"Remus?" She said softly as she leaned over to him and he slowly pushed his covers off himself and opened his eyes and looked at her. "How are you feeling? Are you hungry? I'll cook you up something to eat." She said and he reached over and took her hand.
"I'm fine." He said and brought it slowly to his lips and kissed it. "Thank you." He pulled her closer to him and he shifted so he could face her as she curled up in front of him and he wrapped an arm around her waist.
"I missed you." He whispered.
"I missed you too."
"How are you feeling?"
"Better than I normally feel after a moon. Thank you. How is Andrew?" He asked and she was silent for a moment, remembering what he had said about Remus.
"He's fine."
"How can a wedding be so stressful?" Lily asked as she walked in to the kitchen looking frazzled.
"Whats going on now?"
"Everything." She said and leaned against the counter as Rebecca frosted the chocolate cake in front of her for James' birthday party that night.
"And on top of that its James' birthday today and I still have a bunch of things that need to be done before the wedding Saturday."
"Don't worry about it, everything will work out." Rebecca said with a shrug.
"What if it doesn't Becky?"
"Well then it doesn't. Either way, stressing about it isn't going to help the situation."
"Becky I don't need that right now, I need to focus." Lily said and turned around and leaned against the counter as Rebecca splashed her with water and Lily spun around with a glare.
"What was that for?"
"You need to cool off." Rebecca said with a shrug and turned back to the cake and suddenly felt water splash her in the back and turned around.
"What was THAT for?" She asked and Lily smirked and shrugged. Rebecca took a deep breath and turned back to the cake as Lily turned back to her notebook. Rebecca looked at the bowl of frosting in front of her and dipped her hand in it and walked over to Lily and slung an arm around her shoulder.
"Have some frosting." She said and smeared Lily's face with it and Lily gasped as Rebecca started to giggle.
"You did not just do that." Lily said and grabbed an egg from the carton sitting on the counter and smashed it in to Rebecca's hair and laughed as the yoke slid down the front of her face.
"Here, have a little flour." Rebecca said and grabbed a handful of flour and threw it at Lily who screamed and grabbed the hose from the sink and started to spray Rebecca.
"No!" Rebecca laughed and grabbed the half stick of butter off the counter and smooshed it all over Lily's face and crumbled to the ground laughing.
"What the bloody hell is going on in here?" James asked as he appeared at the doorway and looked at the giant mess Rebecca and Lily had managed to make.
"Cooking." Rebecca said as she looked at Lily and they burst out laughing all over again.
"Where is Lily and what have you done to her?" James asked cautiously.
"You have a little frosting right here." Rebecca said and smeared the frosting in Lily's face.
"Becky we've made such a mess." Lily said as she pushed her hand away.
"Eh. It's not that bad." Rebecca said and got up.
"Not that bad, Becky look at the place." Lily said firmly as she pointed to the mess all over the floor.
"Hey, bring back fun Lily, fun Lily don't go towards the light." Rebecca said as she grabbed Lily and shook her.
"Oh stop it Becky, we've made such a mess, its going to take forever to clean up and there are still so many things I have to do." Lily said and sighed.
"Well it was fun while it lasted." Rebecca sighed as she started to clean up the mess and Lily walked out muttering about taking a shower.
"So that's for me right?" James asked as he looked at the cake on the counter.
"Maybe." She said with a smile and grabbed a towel and wiped her face. "Ugh I need a shower."
"Prongs, we're here." Sirius called out as they walked in to the house and James groaned from the other room.
"Come on man this is your last night of freedom." Sirius said with a grin as he glanced at Lily sitting on the couch next to him. "No offense Lily." He said sheepishly.
"Hey Prongs." Remus said with a small wave as he walked in to the living room with Peter. "Hey Lily." He said with a small smile and Rebecca walked in behind them holding bags in each hand..
"Alright Lily, we are going to make this the best night ever, last night of freedom." She said and winked at James as she set the bags on one of the chairs.
"Becky what is all this?" Lily asked as she walked over and tried to look in to the bags but Rebecca covered them up.
"No peeking, you boys get out." Rebecca said as she looked at the guys.
"Alright well I suppose I'll see you tomorrow dear." James said awkwardly as he gave Lily a kiss.
"Mate this is going to be the best night of your life." Sirius said as he slung an arm around James' shoulders.
"No strippers." Lily said and Sirius scoffed.
"As if." He said and Lily raised an eyebrow.
"Come on Lily, let the man live."
"Sirius." She said crossly and Rebecca grabbed Lily's arm.
"It will be fine." She said over Lily's shoulder.
"No it will not be fine." Lily said and turned back to James.
"Wait until you see what I have planned for you Miss Bride to Be." Rebecca said with a grin.
"Wait what?" James said as his eyebrows rose up.
"Bye boys." She said with a wave as Sirius smiled and dragged James out.
"I don't like the sound of that Pads." James said as Sirius led him out.
"Becky-." Lily said and was cut off by the sound of the doorbell.
"Be right back." Rebecca said and ran to the door and let in Jenny, Tessa, Marlene, Alice and Emmeline.
"Whooooo lets get this party started!" Marlene said with a wide grin.
"Ooooh look, y'can see pretty gold thingies." Peter said as he sat swaying in his chair, pointing in the air in front of him.
"What gold thingies, I wanna see the pretty gold thingies." Sirius said as he leaned over and fell out of his chair and Peter burst in to a fit of giggles.
"There they go, round and round and round and round and rou-." Peter said once he recovered and gasped as he looked at Sirius sprawled across the floor. "Whatcha doing on the floor mate?" Peter asked and held out his hand towards Sirius. "Take ma hand buddy." Peter said and Sirius reached out in the opposite direction of Peter's hand.
"Where are the gold thingies?" Remus asked as he leaned over looking around.
"Right there." Peter said pointing to the air.
"Prongsie, muh eyes are all funny, gimme ur glasses." Remus said as he reached out to James' face. James held them out to Remus who got up and grabbed them, he turned around too fast and tripped over his own feet, falling but managed to grab the table and stabilize himself.
"I'm alright." He said holding up his drink and put the glasses on upside down. "Muh eyes are still all funny." Remus said and handed the glasses back to James.
"Oooh, my thongue! 'ook at tha' my thongue' gone green!" Frank said as he tried to talk and stick his tongue out at the same time.
"Is it?" Benjy asked as he looked at Frank's tongueclosely.
"Hey guys, wanna buy a gerbil?" James asked as he leaned against the table.
"I want a gerbil." Peter said excitedly.
"Hang on, lemme check." James said as he checked his pockets. "Ah darn, fresh out, I can order ya one if ya like."
"Do they come wrapped in aluminininium foil?" asked Sirius, "S'pretty and shiny!"
"Shiiiiiinyyyyyy!" Peter agreed, "Teeheeheehee!"
"Want ta hear a joke?" Fabian asked as he looked at his brother next to him.
"Yeah!" Gideon said excitedly.
"Alright…" Fabian said and paused trying to remember what he was going to say. "It was something about talking muffins."
"Talking muffins?" Gideon asked oddly.
"Yeah, talking muffins." Fabian said trailing off. "It was funny though." He said with a shrug.
Frank walked to the bar, having had gone to the bathroom and watched as Sirius stood up on his chair, gripping the back to try and stay steady and ended up squatting on the chair, unable to actually stand up.
"We're plannin' on leaving our bodies an meeting with th' mother ship next Tuesday" he said pointing back over his shoulder to indicate who 'we' was, "Wanna come?"
"Yeah, wanna come?" replied James and slapped Sirius on the back with a little too much enthusiasm and knocked Sirius out of the chair and he laid sprawled out on the floor laughing and James bent down to help him up but ended up falling on to Sirius.
"Hey, heeheeheehee, hey, like, with that, those ubtuckted... ub... obular..." Peter scratched his head
"Abducted?" Remus offered.
"Tha'sit! Abducted cows from all over th' place?" Peter finished
"Wha' did th' cows ever do to yooooou?" James asked suspiciously as he got up from the floor, swaying slightly.
Sirius grabbed his drink from off the table and stood up on the chair he had been trying to stand up on and made his way on to the table and struck a pose. "I'm a simple cow, living a simple life, but sometimes I feel explooooooooooited!" he took a swig and fell on his butt before muttering something about sleep and passing out on the table top.
James looked at his friend for a second and decided to finish the song for him, "And Ireland will never be freeeeeeeee until, I can marry my brooootheeeeer!"
"You don't have a brother." Remus pointed out who was now trying to pry the rest of Sirius's drink from his hand.
"Don't I?" James asked confused.
"Nope." Remus said with a smile and drank back the rest of Sirius' drink.
"So firs' they take away me right t' marry muh brother, then they take away me right teh 'ave a brother all tagetha?" he said sounding like it was a sudden revelation as he looked at Frank who seemed deep in thought.
"Sue the bastards!" Frank said and held up his glass.
Fabian and Gideon had spent the past 45 minutes trying to work the magical Juke Box - not that long considering the state they were in. Fabian gave up and turned to Frank.
"Would you look at the size of the hair I just yanked out of my nose!" Fabian said as he held up a hair and Frank moved to the other side of the room without a word.
Gideon gave the jukebox a kick and shouted something that sounded like 'Wimmin's Knickers!" and the Juke Box kicked into action...
"Jeremiah was a bullfrooog, was a good frieeend of miiiiine, I never understood a single word he said, but I helped him a'drink his wiiiiiiiiiiiine!" James sang and Frank, Sirius and the twins joined in, between the five singers none of them could quite remember the actual words, but each of them had their own ideas as to what they should be, even though the Juke Box was playing full blast right behind them.
Fabian and Gideon tried to do the tango with out much success as both were trying to lead, while Peter was trying to shake Benjy awake, all while Sirius danced up on the table top, stripping off his shirt and swinging it around trying to sing 'I'm too sexy' but forgot the words and just hummed along.
Rebecca heard a knock on the front door of the cottage and she lifted her head from the pillow on the couch and looked around slightly hazing from the drinking earlier that night. She grabbed her wand off the table and stumbled to the door and gripped the handle as she pointed the wand at the crack in the door ready to attack and came face to face with a drunken Gideon.
"Hey baby, what's your sign?" He said sleazily as he swayed drunkenly and she rolled her eyes and shut the door in his face.
"Hey guys I found it." Gideon called out before there was another knock at the door.
"Rebecca it's me, Caradoc, please open the door." Came from the other side of the door and she opened the door and looked at Caradoc. She looked over Caradoc's shoulder and saw Sirius, Peter and a glow in the dark James.
"What did they do to James?"
"Well Sirius thought it would be a good idea to make him stand out because it was his bachelor party and all…but he forgot how to get rid of it." Caradoc said as he scratched the back of his head.
"They forgot about it anyway... and then they ended up sending him up a hill covered in the stuff to relieve himself... I'm pretty sure half of Godric's Hollow saw him..."
Raven snorted, "Oh God, what else did they do?"
"There was a lot of singing, and among other things, Sirius declared the pub an independent nation, and attempted to sue the people upstairs for 'violating the airspace'." He said and she laughed as she looked at Sirius trying to walk around.
"Nice uh hair by the way." Caradoc said as he looked at her bright pink hair.
"Yeah thanks. You've been assigned to drunken duty huh?" She asked and Caradoc sighed and shrugged as Remus saw Rebecca and he stumbled over towards her.
"Becky, I missed you." He said as he reached out to her and tripped in the doorway and fell in to her, nearly knocking her over as she was barely able to stay standing.
"Oh, sorry." Remus said sheepishly and stood up and gave everyone a wave.
"Thank you Caradoc, good luck with the rest- Black keep your clothes on." She shouted as Sirius began to take of his shirt.
"Thanks." Caradoc said and walked back to the others as she closed the door and looked at Remus who was looking around looking lost.
"Has this always been here?" He asked as he looked at the living room.
"What?"
"This room. I could've sworn it was over here just a little…while…ago." He said trailing off and she wrapped an arm around his waist and helped him down the hall.
"Where are we going?" He asked as he leaned his head on her shoulder.
"To bed, we have the wedding tomorrow." She said and sat him down on the bed.
"Have you always had pink hair?" He asked as she got his pajamas out for him.
"Yes, yes I have." She said and handed him his pajamas and he started to get dressed. He started to pull off his shirt and got stuck halfway.
"B-Becky." He said as he struggled to get it off.
"God you must be more hammered than I am." She said as she walked over and helped him get it off and handed him his t-shirt.
"I don't feel too good." He said as he stared at the ground.
"Like pukey not feel good?" She asked as she observed him and he shot up and started towards the bathroom and she heard him heave everything he had had to drink that night.
She came to the doorway and saw he had indeed not made it to the toilet and had spewed all over the floor as he leaned against the sink.
"Well that's great." She said with a sigh and went to get her wand and she heard him throw up again.
"Geeze how much did you have to drink tonight Remus?" She asked as he held his head in the toilet bowl.
"Never again." He groaned before throwing up again and she cleaned up the mess he had made before brushing her teeth.
"Well when you're done, brush your teeth and come to bed." She said as she pat him on the back and he threw up again as she made her way to the bed and laid down.
Rebecca stepped out of the shower and magically dried her now brown hair before stepping in to the bedroom.
"Remus, wake up." She said as she leaned over him and kissed his forehead.
"Hmmmm." He moaned and grabbed her pillow and covered his face.
"I have a hangover tonic for you, come on, get up and get ready." She said and smacked his butt before she started to get ready.
"My head is killing me; I don't think I have ever drunk like that before." He said as he slowly sat up. "Did you have pink hair?" He asked confused as he looked around
"No, I don't know what you're talking about." She said and pulled on a pair of sweats and a t-shirt and pulled them on as he looked at her confused.
"I must have drunk more than I thought; I could have sworn you had pink hair." He said and rubbed his face before reaching over to his nightstand and grabbing the cup of green liquid.
"This doesn't look right." He said as he looked at it.
"Drink it, you'll feel a lot better, come on, we have an hour before we have to be at the Potter's house, hurry up." She said and went to walk out but stopped at the doorway and looked at him.
"I did have pink hair actually, you aren't entirely crazy." She said and stuck out her tongue before heading down the hall to get something to eat.
"Do you want some breakfast?"
"I'm not really feeling it right now." He said from the bedroom.
"Alright well I'll just make you some toast or something, you need to have something in your stomach or the tonic will make you sick all over again." She said as she started with the toast.
"Where have you been? Lily is freaking out." Marlene said as Rebecca stepped in to the house.
"I'm on time, Lily told me to be here at ten and it's- oh its ten thirty." Rebecca said as she looked at her watch.
"She is upstairs, hurry up, Tessa and Jenny are waiting to do hair and makeup." Marlene said and Rebecca hurried up the stairs and saw Jenny and Tessa standing outside one of the rooms talking to each other.
"Oh thank goodness you're here." Jenny said as they rushed over to her.
"She is freaking out." Tessa said and pushed Rebecca in to the room and shut the door behind her.
"Hey uh Lily." Rebecca said casually as she looked at Lily leaning against the wall looking out the window.
"Where have you been Becky?" Lily asked frantically.
"Sorry, hey what's going on?" Rebecca asked as she laid down her dress and walked over to Lily.
"What if this is a mistake? I mean we used to fight all the time, we hated each other." Lily said quickly and Rebecca smiled.
"It's not funny." She said and started to pace.
"Lily, you and James love each other so much and you guys are absolutely crazy for each other."
"But-."
"Lily you love James don't you?"
"Yes, but-."
"And he loves you. What more do you need than two people who love each other?" She asked and Lily stared at her before sighing. "And you guys are going to have a dozen little babies and grow old together, isn't that what you want?" She asked and Lily smiled.
"Maybe not a dozen."
"Hopefully not a dozen because knowing you guys, they will be super smart like you with James' sense of trouble." She said and Lily laughed.
"Yeah." She said and sat down.
"It's perfectly normal to feel nervous; I might be concerned if you weren't." Rebecca said smiling and Lily smiled. "Alright I'm going to get Jen and Tess in here to do their thing." Rebecca said and went to the door and let everyone in and Jenny and Tessa got to work on Lily before starting with Rebecca.
Rebecca walked downstairs after getting her hair and make up done and saw someone standing by the front window looking outside. He turned around and Rebecca stared in shock as she looked at Sirius who had cut his hair so it was now above his ears and had shaven the goatee from his face.
"Wow." She said with a smile and he smirked at her.
"Yeah, I know thanks." He said and she frowned.
"Oh get over yourself." She muttered and he looked her up and down in her dress.
"You look alright I suppose." He said with a shrug.
"Yeah I suppose you look alright too." She said smugly and Remus appeared at the doorway.
"Becky you are a sight to behold, you look absolutely amazing.' He said as he walked over and kissed her cheek.
"Thank you Remus." She said.
"Guys what are you doing, come on." James said from the doorway and disappeared.
"I guess its show time." Rebecca said as she kissed Remus' cheek and looked at Sirius with a frown and walked out of the room.
"See you in a bit mate." Sirius said and pat Remus on the back as he followed after Rebecca and found her waiting for him.
"Could you take any longer?" Rebecca asked as she held her bouquet in her hand and he shrugged and held out his arm with a smile as they walked outside down the asile.
"You're walking too fast." Rebecca hissed quietly as she nudged him with her arm.
"I am not, you're walking too slow."
"Bullshit, walk to the tempo of the music."
"I am."
"No you're not you're walking like twice the tempo."
"Well that may be so but I am still walking at a tempo."
"You are impossible."
"No you are."
"I am not, nothing gets done with you, and it has to be your way or no way."
"I could say the same about you."
"Arrogant asshole."
"Whiny bitch." He said as they parted and went off to the sides as the wedding march came on and everyone looked to the door as Lily stood there with her father. Rebecca glanced at James who was staring at her with a wide smile on his face; she couldn't remember seeing him so happy before. She looked back at Lily who was wearing the same grin as James was as she walked down the aisle towards him. Rebecca felt tears forming in her eyes as Lily walked up and she discreetly wiped them away and looked at Sirius who gave her a smile. Lily's father gave her a kiss before she walked up next to James with tears in her own eyes.
"And now introducing for the first time ever, Mr. and Mrs. James and Lily Potter."
James spun Lily around on the dance floor and went into a dip, which made Lily laugh as her hair brushed the floor. Rebecca laughed too and took a sip from her champagne before gazing over the tables of guests also watching the newly weds. Frank and Alice Longbottom were both grinning from ear to ear, hands clasped together across their table, at that same table, Dumbledore, McGonagall and Moody were sitting. Emmeline Vance was clapping lightly and smiling, she was seated at the same table as the Twins and Hagrid, who was shedding a tear while watching.
At Rebecca's own table Remus, Peter and Sirius were all grinning like some odd sort of brotherly parents. Rebecca smiled to herself and leaned back against Remus who laid a hand on her waist and kissed her cheek with a smile.
Soon Sirius and James were out on the dance floor... dancing with each other. Lily was laughing at them and the reactions of her parents, who had only met James about 5 times before...
"Mind if I have this dance?" Sirius asked Rebecca as he stood in front of her.
"Me?" She asked as she sipped on her champagne.
"No, the lovely lady behind you." He said and she smirked.
"Hey." Remus said and Rebecca stood up and glanced at Remus with a smile.
"What's wrong Remus? Don't want to dance with Black?"
"He is too grabby for my taste; keep your hands to yourself Pads." Remus said with a smile and Sirius laughed.
"You don't have to worry mate, its just Walcott." Sirius said with a grin and she scoffed.
"No one hears a word of this." She said and took Sirius' hand as they walked out to the dance floor and he spun her around and she lost her footing as he caught her and pulled her back up.
"Oh very smooth, suppose I had twisted my ankle or something?" She asked as he laid his hand on her waist and rolled his eyes.
"You're a healer."
"So, what if I wasn't?"
"Well then I wouldn't have done that." He said dryly. "Do you have to whine so much?"
"I don't whine."
"I believe what you just did would be called whining."
"Hey, it was concern for my well being."
"Do you ever shut up?" He asked as she brought her eyes to his.
"Some times." She said with a small smile.
"You know you're lucky Moony is so damn patient, we would have never worked out." He said and she smiled.
"We would probably fight all the time."
"You would never stop bitching."
"You would never give up your playboy lifestyle and cheat on me constantly." She said with a shrug and he frowned.
"Hey." He said seriously and she raised an eyebrow. "I may be a lot of things, but I am not a cheater."
"Right." She said sarcastically.
"I wouldn't cheat on you." He said as he stared at her intensely and she felt her stomach flutter for a moment and she took a deep breath.
"You would always have something bad to say about my cooking."
"Your cooking isn't half bad actually; I think we're good there." He said with a smile.
"Clean shaven works a lot better for you, you clean up well." She said and he looked down at her.
"You don't look too shabby yourself. The dress looks nice."
"You don't look half bad in a suit." She said and paused as he started to smile again. "Hey, don't get used to this, I have had a little to drink and my judgment is a little hazy."
"Don't worry, I've had a little to drink and my judgment is a little hazy as well."
"Good, we have come to an understanding. Thanks for the dance." She said as the song ended and she broke away from him and returned to the table.
"I used to hate going to weddings." Marlene said with a sigh and took a sip of her champagne.
"Why is that?" Rebecca asked casually as she got herself champagne.
"Ah well, all the grandmas used to poke me and say I'd be next." She gave a wicked smirk, "The next funeral I go to, I'm gonna poke them and tell them that they'll be next!"
Rebecca snorted and choked on the drink she had been swallowing and Remus pat her on the back as she grabbed the glass of water next to her and took a long drink and cleared her throat.
"I'm fine." She said and saw Sirius stand up with a glass in hand.
Everyone looked up and got quiet as he cleared his throat.
"I dear say it has come time for the custom slightly tipsy Best Man speech," he said with a grin. Everyone clapped and there were a couple of wolf whistles and he winked at the twins with a smile and he laughed and looked at James and Lily sitting together.
Sirius looked down at James and studied him for a second, "What can I say about good old James Potter?"
"The usual 'devilishly handsome' goes down well." said James with a smile and Sirius laughed and shook his head.
"No, you're not getting away that easily, I'm dead set on embarrassing you before the end of this speech." Sirius looked up at everyone, "They say there's one person out there for you, that when you meet them the stars are aligned and all is right blah, blah, blah, yada, yada, yada..." he waved his hand in the air, "And for good old Prongsie here, that person was... me." Sirius grinned and prodded himself in the chest, "I saw him chase after this girl for years, the same girl who the first time she saw him, tried to jinx his head off! Of course Prongs fell head over heals for her! She was special... not everyone shows their love for another like that and he would always come crawling to me wondering what he was doing wrong after asking her out time and time again. It was embarrassing to say the least. But then, he deflated his ego and stopped pranking so much and I was convinced it was a waste of time until I realized what a wonderful and amazing person she was, you know, when she wasn't hexing the hell out of my mate here." He said looking at Lily and she smiled and held a hand over her chest. "Mate you did real well, and I wish you both all the happiness in the world. To James and Lily Potter." He said as he held up his glass and everyone gave a round of applause and he sat down.
Eventually the reception was over, and there were only 8 people sitting in large wedding tent that had been used. They all sat around one table, holding their drinks and reminiscing over their old school days. Their minds didn't even touch on the war they were all in the middle of at the moment... nothing was worrying them.
Lily took another piece of cake that was left over; the house elves had made far too much, and started eating it.
James poured some melted chocolate over it for Lily, who smiled and took another bite.
"Is that nice?" asked Peter
"No it's really revolting." replied Lily, "I always eat stuff I hate."
Rebecca gave a light laugh and pat Peter on the shoulder and he rolled his eyes and took a drink of his champagne.
They had all started talking over the table, several conversations were going on at once, and Rebecca decided if Sirius got to do his own little drunken speech perhaps she might do her own.
She tapped her glass, but they were all talking too loudly to hear.
She tapped it again much to the same effect.
"Hey! Listen up laaaadies!" Rebecca said standing on her chair and stamping her foot.
The Marauders shot her reproachful looks, not all that fond of being called ladies
"I have a couple of promises I will keep to you guys, seeing as you're my friends and all..." She said with a grin. "When you're sad, I'll get you drunk or hyper on sugar and will help you plot revenge against the sorry asshole who made you sad. When you are blue, I'll try to get out whatever you're choking on, I hear crow bars work nicely. When you smile, I'll know you got laaaaaid. When you're scared I will pay you out about it every chance I get! When you're worried, I'll tell you horrible stories about how much worse it could be and then tell you to quit whining! ...Uuuuummmm." She said and pondered for a second before continuing, "When you're confused, I'll use little words to explain. When you are sick, stay the hell away from me until you're better! I don't want whatever you have! And finally, when you fall, I'll point and laugh at you until long after it's lost its humor." She bowed and then added. "Remember, a friend will help you move. A really good friend will help you move a body. Let me know if I ever need to bring a shovel!"
They all laughed and clapped, and then Lily and James stood to leave. They weren't going on a honeymoon because they needed to stay here for the Order. The closest thing they were getting was three days to themselves, no one would come and bother them, not even for Order business.
In true fashion of the gang, they immediately started trying to make sure the couple would be highly embarrassed before leaving. Sirius made a very inappropriate comment implying the newly weds' activities once they got home, Jenny patted James on the shoulder and told him that 'he'd be great', Rebecca blew them a kiss before adding "Erection Protection!", Peter tried to make a hand gesture, but he was laughing too much to get it right, and Remus smiled and waved, always the gentleman.
"I swear to Merlin, you guys are so humiliating!" Lily said before James swung her over his shoulder, (she started muttering about the fact that she was not a possession to be flung over one's shoulder) James then gave the Marauders the thumbs up, nodded to the girls, and disappeared.
