I awoke the next day to find Sirius rushing to get changed and was trying, and failing, to do it quietly.

'Where are you going?' I croaked, squinting at the bright morning light.

'I'm going to visit Harry in Hogsmeade; I promised I'd update him. You can come too if you want! I'm sure he wouldn't mind, besides, his two friends are coming and im sure you and Hermione can have some girly talks' He said whilst winking, and I instantly remembered the crystal ball scene, which I had realised over time was Harry, and it must be his two friends, Hermione, the girl, and the freckly one who I didn't know the name of. Grinning, I jumped out of bed and kissed him lightly on the cheek, also getting changed.

'His friends are abit like us you know, everyone is just waiting for them to admit they like each other'

'Oh you mean the boy-'

'Ron'

'The boy Ron, is an arrogant sod who think he rules the school? And Hermione is a clever witty girl just oozing charm?' I winked, and Sirius snorted.

'Noo, they argue all the time, just like we did'

'We argued because you were downright irritating'

'I'm hurt by that comment Rusty! You're forgetting you're the one who fell for my irresistible charm, literally!'

'Oh shut up, im clumsy you know!'

'I've noticed!' He smirked, while I elbowed him in the ribs, hard.

'And you're forgetting you're the one who fell for my charm and wit'

'Sure, keep convincing yourself that love' I scowled at him, dragging a brush through my bed hair and pinning my fringe back, applying my makeup for the first time in years.

'Come on, we'll be late!'

We arrived at Hogsmeade a while later, my now purple/green eyes twinkling in the morning sun. Harry and his friends were there already, muttering about something under their breaths. Seeing us, the girl, Hermione, waved and Harry turned to see us walking towards them. He smiled and Ron also waved.

'Harry!' Sirius ran towards his Godson and hugged him tightly while I exchanged greetings with his friends.

'Well, who is this Sirius?' Harry asked, and I blushed slightly, tucking my hair behind my ear in nervousness. Sirius chuckled at my embarrassment and said:

'This is Avalon, the girl I was telling you about. She's also your godmother Harry and she's a Metamorphmagus so she looks abit different to how I described, but still as beautiful eh?' He nudged me and I exchanged 'typical boy' looks with Hermione.

'Its great to finally meet you Harry, I haven't seen you since you were one, you look just like James' I said, shaking his hand and he smiled.

'Godmother? Wow. You were my mums best friend?'

'Yep, that's right, I was best friends with Lily'

'So are you two, like… Dating?' Asked Ron, while Hermione elbowed him in ribs, which I chuckled at, they did remind me of Sirius and I when we were school.

'Well actually, we're engaged' I smiled, and Hermione squealed, asking to see the ring.

'That right Sirius? Bloody hell.' Ron said, receiving another elbow off Hermione.

'Yep, we're getting married, and I'd love for you guys to be involved in the wedding' Hermione squealed as Sirius spoke, and again when she was asked to be Bridesmaid. 'And Harry, I always wanted your Dad to be best man, and I think you'd fill his place splendidly' Harry smiled at Sirius and Ron complained about his job.

'Oh don't worry Ron, you're the Ring Bearer!' I laughed, and Hermione exploded with waves of laughter, while Ron glared at her, and Sirius chuckled at their likeliness of us.

'So, we best go celebrate!' Harry announced, and we all walked into The Three Broomsticks. There were lots of Hogwarts students there, because it was the Hogsmeade weekend, and lots of them stared wearily at Sirius, but when they saw his hand entwined in mine and his face focused on me they soon slowly started to ignore us and go back to their drinks.

We joined a table with Hermione, Ron, Ron's little sister Ginny, a daydreaming blonde called Luna, a quiet boy called Neville, and a boy with a strong Irish accent, Seamus. Luna was fascinating to talk to, and was just about to make a toast when the Irish boy, Seamus, muttered a spell at his drink and subsequently managed to blow it up. It was only me that jumped out of my skin, and the rest said about 'getting use to it after a while'.

'So when are you getting married?' Luna asked dreamily, and Sirius and I looked at each other before saying:

'Not for a while im afraid, not till the war that's starting has ended, we don't want to get married in a place like that'

'Well I'll wait ten years if it means I get to be Bridesmaid at someone's wedding!" Hermione grinned, but then I remembered something.

'IZZIE!' I exclaimed, and the whole table looked confused 'She was one of my closest friends at Hogwarts, and she has to be bridesmaid, she just has to! Sirius I have to go and find her, she works at Hogwarts doesn't she?' The table nodded and Sirius squeezed my hand before I dashed out of the pub and all the way to Hogwarts.

'Dumbledore!" I said, as I turned the corner and walked straight into the Headmaster.

'If I do recall Miss Rustley, you left Hogwarts eighteen years ago, and you do know when you leave, you are not suppose to come back running around the castle. Are you looking for someone?' The Headmaster chuckled and I nodded.

'I'm looking for Iz- I mean Professor Farrell sir'

'Well, im sure you can find Izzie in one of the History of Magic classrooms, now off you go' He smiled and turned away before saying: 'and do tell Sirius that's it's about time he proposed! Honestly, he spent twenty years thinking about it and manages now of all times!' He laughed at my confused expression and walked away merrily humming to himself.

I reached the History Of Magic classrooms not long later and saw Izzie sat on her desk, reading the Daily Prophet. She looked up at the intruder and when she saw whom it was a warm smile spread across her tanned face and she ran to hug me.

'Av's I've missed you so much! How are you! Are you coping alright?' She babbled, and then saw the ring on my finger and screamed: 'YOUR ENGAGED! NO YOU CANT BE! SIRIUS JUST GOT LET FREE, AVALON YOU DESERVE TO BE WITH SIRIUS! HE WAS THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE YOU CANT JUST MARRY SOMEONE THAT'S JUST TRYING TO FILL A SIRIUS SHAPED HOLE IN YOUR HEART! WHOEVER THEY ARE, TELL THEM TO GET LOST, YOU BELONG WITH SIRIUS!" Izzie shrieked loudly, and I couldn't help but giggle at her outrage 'Avalon Rustley what is so funny?' I continued to laugh so hard I felt my lungs contract and I couldn't breath. I tried to cover my laugh up with a cough but continued to receive glares off a very annoyed, and confused, Izzie. After I had calmed down, and managed to regain my lung capacity, I explained to Izzie:

'Iz, im engaged to Sirius'

'That's impossible, he just got out!'

'No, that was yesterday morning, because that is yesterdays post you idiot!" I smiled warmly at her and even though I had insulted her she finally seemed to understand.

'Oh…'

'Yeah, so anyway, I was really hoping you would like to be Bridesmaid?' And that's when she screamed.

'WHAT IN THE NAME OF MERLIN'S BAGGY TROUSERS? I'D LOVE TO BE BRIDESMAID!' I laughed at the fact even though she was a teacher; she was still as immature at the age of thirty-five. We walked slowly back to The Three Broomsticks, talking about our lives now.

I knew even though there was a war coming, and the future was uncertain, I'd be all right. I had everything I needed, my friends, and the love of my life back, Sirius.

A/N After this story ends, im definitely going to have a Sirius shaped hole in my heart. Not much else to say really…

Did you like Izzie? I always liked her, she wasn't really included much in previous chapters.

Do you like Rons role? Harry and Remus will be best men btw, and Izzie and Hermione will be bridesmaid.

What colours do you think the bridesmaid dresses should be?

SNEAK PREVIEW: Her dress will be her Prom dress, just cause that's what she always said it would be.

THANKS AND PLEASE REVIEW!
