A/N: It's been soo long! :'( I'm sorry about that. But! I finally got computer issues worked out! *fist pump* (I'm very excited about this lol. Anyways. Thanks to: happysmiles500, Ranma's girl1, I'm a Witch So Deal With It, &&&& KC2016.

Lily sat at her kitchen table the following morning waiting for her parents and sisters to wake up. With a small smile she held her hand up and giggled. She was going to be the future Mrs. James Potter.

'What is that?!' Lily gave a small jump at the shrill voice behind her.

'Tuni!' With a grin, she stood up and crossed to her sister. 'James… he asked me to marry him. I said yes.' She held her hand up, and bit her lip.

'Why would you say yes?' Petunia asked with a sneer. She crossed to fridge and pulled out the gallon of milk. 'He's a freak. You're going to be married to a…'

'Think wisely before you finish that sentence, Tuni.' Lily warned in a low voice. Sighing she pulled out a chair, and sat down. 'Why can't you be happy for me? We used to be so close when we were younger. What happened?'

'You want to know what happened?' Petunia demanded, slamming the milk on the counter. She turned around and crossed her arms. With a look of loathing she said, 'I realized who you are. Not only were you the prettier sister, but now you became the 'special' one to.' Shaking her head, she grimaced, 'How is it no one saw your.. magic for what it is?'

With tears in her eyes, Lily bit her lip. 'Tuni.. I – I'm not prettier or -'

'Save it, Lily. I don't care.' Shaking her head Petunia grabbed a glass and poured herself some milk. With a humorless laugh she narrowed her eyes. 'Congratulations on your engagement. Sorry; but I won't be at the wedding. I've got plans.'

'But -'

With a raised brow, Petunia walked out of the room.

'- I wanted you there.' Lily said on a sigh. She felt the tears fall from her lashes, and buried her head in her arms.

James sat with his three closest friends at the Three Broomsticks. With a grin he nodded his head, 'Yup, she said yes!'

'And just think, yesterday you were freaking out.' Sirius said with a laugh.

Peter looked at three around him, 'I didn't even know you were thinking about proposing, Prongs.'

'Maybe if you actually wrote us back once in a while, you would have.' Sirius said, with a frown.

'Padfoot.' With a quick shake of his head, Remus looked at Pettigrew. 'Has everything been okay Wormtail? We've all owled you, this is the first you've gotten back to us since graduation.'

'Uh.. yes.' Frowning into his cup, Wormtail drummed his fingers on the table. 'I've just been busy lately.'

'With what?' James asked, his eyes narrowed on the young man's fingers, and their constant drumming.

'Just stuff.' Standing abruptly, the squat man pulled out three knauts and dropped them on the table. 'I've got to go.' He scurried out the door without a backwards glance.

'Well, that was helpful.' Sirius said. Leaning back in his chair he sighed and closed his eyes.

Running a hand through his hair, James frowned, 'Something is up. I just don't… know what.' Glancing at Remus, he said, 'Did you catch the drumming?'

With a nod, Lupin said, 'Yeah. You'd think after six years of us pointing it out he'd catch on to his nervous habit.'

'I wish I knew how to help.' Cracking his knuckles, James sighed.

Sitting forward, Sirius looked at his friends, 'Want me to talk to Regalus, see if he has anything to say?'

Shaking his head, Remus said, 'Doubt that'd help at all. Plus we don't even know for sure that Wormtail is involved in… that.'

'True.' Sirius tapped his fingers on the table. 'So, get this. Couple nights ago, I'm down in the front room. And Regalus comes home in a hurry. Goes into the kitchen and about ten minutes later leaves again, with that bloody house-elf. Saying something about how the 'Dark Lord' needs him for something.'

Raising a brow, James leans forward, 'Did you hear what he needed?'

Shaking his head, Sirius replied, 'No. Wish I had, but nothing.' Glancing over his shoulder, he said, 'All I know is about twenty minutes later Reg comes back. But no Kreacher.' He runs a hand over his face. 'I waited up a couple hours, but my mum wouldn't quit with the questions. You know how she is. So I left. Went over the next morning, said I forgot some stuff. And Kreacher was down in the kitchen, making breakfast. He looked sick, but was there.'

Sitting back, Lupin asked, 'What do you mean he looked sick? House-elves don't get sick often.'

'I know. That's why I thought it strange. He had this sickly tint to his skin. It was… waxy looking, and sounded as if he had a mouth full of sand.'

'Huh.' Running a hand through his thinning hair, Lupin shrugged. 'I don't know.'

'That's wonderful darling!' Lily's mother gushed. 'He's such a sweet boy. And obviously makes you happy!'

Lily smiled, and looked to her father, 'Daddy?' she asked in a small voice.

'You sure this is what you want?' William Evan asked. A thoughtful frown on his face, 'I mean, you've just recently graduated. You're still a baby!'

Holding her hands to her heart, Lily smiled. 'I love him, Daddy.'

Running a hand down his face, he snorted, 'You're barely eighteen years old. What do you know about love?'

'I know that when I'm with him, everything else around me vanishes.' Closing her eyes, Lily sighed, 'I know that when I think about my future… he's always standing next to me, holding my hand.' Opening her eyes, she looked at her parents, and smiled. 'I'm going to marry James. And I want you guys there. Please.'

Giving her youngest daughter a watery smile, Clara Evans wiped her eyes, 'Of course we'll be there darling.'

With a sigh, her father stood and crossed to her. Running a hand through her hair, he gave a small smile, and said, 'With our blessing.'

With a laugh, Lily jumped up and hugged her father. 'Thank you, Daddy!'

'Okay, Lil's.' Emmaline sat next to her best friend with a smile. 'We need start planning. Date, dresses, maid of honor, menu, everything!'

Alice sat down across from the girls, and pushed her glasses to the top of her head. 'Let's start with the date. And build everything else around that.'

Laughing, Lily took a drink of her milkshake, 'We can't start till my mum gets here!' She giggled and smiled at Alice, 'I still can't believe your mum is gonna make the cake for free!'

'I only said I'd do it for free so I knew I'd guarantee a spot at your wedding darling!' Said a short, round woman behind their table.

'Awe. Mrs. F you'd be invited even if you didn't wanna make it. But now you've got to!' Lily said with a laugh.

'Well damn, should've thought before opening my mouth.' The woman said with a wink. 'Here comes your momma now. She always seems lost when she's wandering around the Alley alone.' She said with a laugh, 'Clara! Hi dear.'

Stepping into the shorter woman's open arms, Lily's mother laughed. 'Of course I look lost walking around here alone. I'm out of my element, and don't know half of what's being said around me.'

With a laugh, Alice's mother nodded, 'I know that feeling. Owning the only ice-cream parlor in the Alley brings a lot of teens for our business. I never know half of what they're talking about.' With a shake of her head, 'But what can I get you to drink?'

'I'll… have whatever it is Lily is drinking.' She said, with a smile.

'One butterbeer coming up.' Sticking her pen behind her ear, she started away.

'Okay, now that Mrs. E is here, let's start planning!' Emmaline pulled out a pad of parchment and a quill, 'Now Lil's, what do you think a spring wedding?'

'Hmm… well, we were planning on something a little sooner.' Lily say, playing with her straw.

Narrowing her eyes, Emma pursed her lips, 'How sooner?'

'Um… like before Halloween.'

'What?!'
