It was October, and today was the day of Lily and James wedding. I was Bridesmaid with Izzie, and Sirius was the Best Man. The Ring Bearers were Remus and Peter, who James didn't want to leave out and lets face it, three best men was abit too much.
Our bridesmaid dresses were a creamy pinky colour, and they were slim, reaching down to our ankles, with a low v-neck and we held white roses in our hands, our hair in messy buns.
Lily looked gorgeous, in a dazzling white dress, that was similar to my Prom dress, but had two thick straps, and came down lower on her back. She had a veil over the back of her head, secured with a glittering tiara in her bright red hair. Her emerald green eyes sparkled, and James looked on in awe as she walked down the aisle, with Remus on one side, and Peter on the other side, Izzie and I walking behind her, being extremely careful not to stand on her train, which was quite long and we nearly always tripped over.
'Ladies and Gentleman, we are here today to celebrate the marriage of James and Lily Potter. James, do you take Lily to be your lawfully wedded wife, for richer and for poorer, in sickness and in health, till death do you part?' The Priest said, and James answered, his eyes never leaving Lily's.
'I do'
'And Lily, do you take James to be your lawfully wedded Husband, for richer and for poorer, in sickness and in health, till death do you part?'
'I do'
'Do we have the rings?' Remus and Peter stepped forward, each presenting a ring to James and Lily, and I couldn't help but notice Lily was nearly crying as she placed the silver ring around James' finger, and weirdly, so was James. 'I now declare you Husband and Wife, you may now kiss the bride' He said, nodding towards James, and I felt tears running down my cheeks as they kissed, both of them looking relieved and nervous at the same time. As they walked back up the aisle, Sirius approached me.
'Hey, you okay?' He asked, and I nodded, wiping the tears away from my eyes and hoping I didn't smudge my makeup.
'Yeah, im fine, im just so happy for them, I never thought this day would happen'
'I always knew they'd get married'
'So did I, but still, it's a shock'
'Come on, let's go inside, there's cake!'
'Ooh, yum!'
And from that day on, it was the start of James and Lily's new married life, and everyone who attended, or even those who didn't, knew they would be together for an extremely long time.
It was ten months later, and Sirius, Remus, Peter, Izzie and I were waiting anxiously outside one of the rooms in St. Mungos. I fiddled with my locket nervously, flicking through the pictures. The first one was of me and Sirius by the Black Lake, which morphed into us fighting in Animagus form. The next one was of me and Lily sat on the sofa in the Common Room, my pale scar, which I had gotten use to now, was visible through my auburn hair and we were smiling eagerly at the camera. Next was the picture of the whole group by the Black Lake, just after James proposed to Lily, which morphed into the picture of Sirius and I outside the Great Hall at Prom, and I smiled at the dress, which was still hung up in my wardrobe, and I never planned to get rid of it. Next was a picture of all of us at James and Lily's wedding, I desperately needed to find another picture to go with it.
I should probably explain. We're all pacing outside a room in St. Mungos because we're all waiting to hear the news on Lily's birth. Yep, Lily was pregnant, and today, on the 31st of July, she had gone into labour. James was inside with her, and all we knew was that she was fine, and that was because a passing nurse had sneaked a look for us.
Finally, after what must have been an hour, James emerged from the room, looking scared, but also incredibly happy.
'She's given birth' He said breathlessly 'It's a boy' we all squealed in excitement and James told us we could come in.
We all entered the room, and saw an extremely tired looking, sweaty Lily holding a bundle in her arms.
'Guys, meet Harry James Potter' She announced, letting us see the baby boy. Harry. It suited him in a way, he definitely seemed like a Harry. She let us hold him individually and it was like I recognised him. Yep, I did. He was without doubt the boy from the crystal ball scene; expect he looked slightly different in a way… Then I remembered. He didn't have the scar! I guessed it was because of accident he must have had when he was older, and he also didn't have glasses. In the scene he had glasses just like James, but I bet when he got older his eyesight would be just as bad as his, which made me chuckle, and the whole group stared at me like I was mental.
'He's so cute!' Izzie squeaked when it was turn and I laughed at her face. Peter wasn't so keen on holding him, but eventually was convinced.
'I bet anything this boy will be the most arrogant, smartest, and determined kid in his whole year at Hogwarts!' I announced while Lily laughed.
'Hey, you don't know yet, he could be a Squib!'
'I very much doubt that, can you imagine?'
'Nah, my Godson is going to be the coolest kid in his year!' Sirius said, he was immensely proud that he had been chosen as Godfather, and I was proud too, having being named Godmother.
'Anyway, we'll see you later Lily, get some sleep'
'Haha, I will, don't worry!' She said as James kissed her on the head, and as we left, all our thoughts were focused on the newborn, the newest edition of The Marauders.
I had a feeling things could only get better from here; this was definitely the start of something. And who knows? Maybe Sirius and I will get married, and have a kid, but what I did know, was that whoever things ended up for us, things were going to be fine for James and Lily, and their son Harry was going to be famous. I just knew it.
A/N I know! It's a short chapter, but this is the final chapter before the Epilogue! Du-Du Duhh!
The Epilogue is already written though, so I might update today, or you guys might have to wait till tomorrow, depending!
Thanks for reading, and please review! I can't tell you how happy I was to see I had 35 reviews!:D
