A/N: I watched the fifth Harry Potter last night… I hate seeing Sirius die. Especially after reading all these fanfics about him being young and at school:( I think it bothered me the most when Sirius died out of all of the deaths, all he wanted to do was protect Harry and let him have a good life for once! Also, I would like to apologize for all of my grammar. I have terrible grammar hahaha. At school I actually get all A's then there is my English grade: C+ XD haha it makes me so mad.

Chapter 3

Lily's POV

"James?" I asked him. He was looking at the Dailey Profit, when he looked up from the paper I let out a chuckle.

"What?" He asked looking at himself. "Is there something wrong with me?"

"No, you just looked so much like my dad when you looked up. Especially how you have your glasses barely on your nose, just tops it all off." We both start laughing. It was the first good laugh that I have had in a while.

Things have been rough the last few months. Right now it is a cold winter day in January and it's the day right before my birthday. I'm not really that excited, but James seems to be ignoring it.

o.O.o

I just woke up. It's my birthday. I am nineteen years old now. I smile. Next thing I know I feel James' arms around me and he is kissing me.

"Happy Birthday, Lily dear." He says with a ear-to-ear smile on his face.

Once James and I get dressed we go out and have some brunch.

"Can I please have an orange juice for right now?" I ask the waitress and she nods. James whispers something to her before she leaves but I don't know what. When the lady comes back she has a bunch of co-workers with her all smiling.

"Happy… Birthday.. Happy… Birthday…. Happy… Birthday… to you!" Each time they say "Happy Birthday" they say it faster. I look at James and smile. The waitress all the way to the right puts a stack of pancakes on my placemat. I smile to her and say thank you. One they all leave I glare at James.

"Bloody James Potter. You know I hate attention." HE laughed and I smiled at him. He leans over the table and kisses me very lightly. He sits back down.

"You know you love me." He smiled.

We had a wonderful time and when we left the waitresses said "Happy Birthday". We got back to the house. When James turned on the light I got the biggest surprise ever.

"Surprise!" Everyone yelled, popping up in different places in our living room.

"Oh, my Merlin." I said in shock. Marlene raced up to me and hugged me.

"Happy Birthday!" She exclaimed. I looked around the room and saw a giant birthday cake with streamers and a pile of birthday presents in the corner.

I look around to see so many smiling faces. All from James, Marlene and Sirius, Alice and Frank, Mary, Remus, Peter, Dumbledore, Mr. and Mrs. Potter, Mad-Eye Moody and surprisingly sitting in the corner, with a pouting look on her face and her arms crossed is my sister. Once I walk in she gets up and walks over to me.

"I just wanted to say 'Happy Birthday'. I'm not staying." She said with an angry look on her face.

"Why?" I asked, still surprised she was here.

"I am not staying here with a bunch of freaks!" She exclaimed and stomps out of my house.

"Well, that was pleasant." Sirius said coming up to me and hugging me.

"Happy Birthday, Ms. Evans." Professor McGonagall said coming up to me and giving me a sweet old lady hug.

"Thank you, Professor." I said smiling. I turned to James and smiled.

"Oh, god how I love you." I said to him, kissing him on the cheek.

"IIIIIIt's cake time, everyone!" Sirius yelled with open arms. Everyone started laughing and Sirius went and grabbed a knife from the kitchen.

"Oh, woah, let me take that," I said taking the big knife that Sirius grabbed away from him. "No one should ever allow you to use a knife. Ever." I said with the most serious face, then started laughing. Sirius put a pouty face on.

I went over and cut the cake. Man, that thing was big! James and Sirius both book a large piece and they started racing on who could eat it the fastest. I gave Marlene, Alice, Frank and Mary normal size pieces, while James came back for more complaining that he ate his cake too fast. I chuckled.

Peter and Remus both wanted big pieces but not the size of James' and Sirius'. I gave Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall, Mr. and Mrs. Potter and Mad-Eye-Moody all small pieces because they were complaining that they were too old to eat cake. I grabbed a normal size for myself and went to sit with Marlene, Alice, Mary, James and Sirius.

"You guys are such pigs!" Alice exclaimed looking at James and Sirius.

"That's why I love them." I said, blowing a kiss to James.

"Hey! What about me?" Sirius yelled when I didn't blow a kiss to him. We all laughed.

"You have Marlene for that." I looked at her and she blew him a kiss. He smiled and he one back to her.

"OK, enough of this lovey dovey stuff." I quickly smeared cake on my lips and went over to James and gave him a big fat kiss right now his cheek, covering it with cake. I tried to run back to me seat but James had wrapped his arms around my waist.

"Oh, no you don't!" He exclaimed. He quickly took one of his hands off my waist, grabbed some cake from his plate and smashed it into my face. All the girls started laughing and so did Sirius.

I went back to my seat, grabbed some cake and threw it at Marlene.

"Oh, no you didn't." She said trying to get the cake out of her hair.

"Oh, yes she did." Sirius said in the same exact tone, waving his hand around.

Marlene was all done with her cake so she had to go over to the cake table. She grabbed a handful and threw it towards me. Bu, the cake didn't hit me, instead it hit Dumbledore square in the face. Everyone was so shocked. He slowly whipped the cake off of his face, grabbed some off of his and threw it back at Marlene, hitting her in the forehead.

"Yes! Cake fight!" Sirius yelled getting up and grabbing cake.

All of the adults suddenly ducked under tables, except for Dumbledore who was enjoying the fun and throwing cake at his former students.

James noticed that his parents his behind one of the chairs, grabbed some cake and went over to them.

"Hey, Mom, Dad." They both turned around and James quickly pushed some cake into both of their faces, smearing it all over. I started laughing but quickly turned into fear as both of his parents went to the cake table and started throwing it at him.

James had a look of shock on his face while everyone was laughing. I went over to the table and grabbed a handful of cake.

"Heres some from me, too." I came up from behind him and smashed the cake into him face, smearing it all over. I laughed and he turned around and kissed me, now getting the cake on my face. Everyone started laughing.

I looked around to see Marlene and Sirius having a cake fight, Alice and Frank were, Professor McGonagall had come out from behind the chair and was throwing some at Dumbledore. Remus and Peter were throwing some at each other and Mr. and Mrs. Potter were smearing some on each other's face. Mad-Eye was still behind the couch, shaking his head disapprovingly at the scene in front of him.

Once all of the cake was gone, Sirius and James were eating cake off of themselves. Marlene, Alice, Mary, Mr. and Mrs. Potter, Frank, Remus, Peter and Professor McGonagall were cleaning the cake off with napkins. Dumbledore was just sitting there smiling, with cake all over his face. I walked over to him.

"Uh, Sir?"

"Yes, Lily?" He looked up at me.

"Sorry if this sound rude, but why are you keeping the cake on your face?" I asked.

"I heard that its very soothing to have cake on your face." He answered very wisely. I let out a chuckle.

"Alright, Sir. You have fun with that." I laughed and walked away.

"Lily! You need to open your presents, now!" Marlene exclaimed while she ran up to me.

"Alright, alright." I went over and grabbed a bag that was black and had a dog card inside.

"That's from me." Sirius said, smiling. I opened it up and it was a book that read. How to Fly: A Book for Those Who Just Can't Fly! I chuckled.

"Thanks, Sirius." I said putting it down. The presents went on for an hour. After I finished opening the presents everyone left.

"Well, that was fun." James said trying to pick up some cake so his House-Elf, Tinky, wouldn't have a heart attack.

After a while with cleaning up James and I sat down in the kitchen drinking some tea.

"Lily?" James spoke up.

"Yeah?"

"Er, when do you want to have children?" James asked. I could see his face go red.

"Er, well, after we are married obviously. But I want you to myself for at least six months. Then we can have children." I said to him smiling. Next thing I knew Marlene, Alice and Mary were barging through my front door.

"Lily?" I heard Marlene yell. I raced to the front door.

"What? What?" I asked, panicky.

"You need to get a wedding dress." Mary said sternly, grabbing my hand. Before I could say anything she apparated to Diagon Ally. She pulled me into the dress shop.

"Oh, hello ladies, how many we help you?" She asked.

"Wedding dresses." Marlene said quickly.

"Ok, they are in the back. Have fun! And good luck with your wedding." The lady said as I was being drabbed into the back.

Once they saw all the wedding dresses, they looked through a few. By the time they were done looking I had about fifteen dresses in my hand.

This part of the store was very big. On the left side of the room was about six different racks of dresses with about one hundred dresses on them each. On the right side of the room were about ten dressing rooms. This part of the store was empty so it made it even better. Behind the dresses there is as small hallway leading to the storage room.

The first one I tried on was strapless. It was tight down my chest and puffed out at the waist. I stepped out and all of the girls shook their heads, I agreed. Within the next hour I tried on many different dresses. Some that stuck to my body all the way to my calf's and then puffed out; I could barely walk in it. I tried on ball-gown style and traditional style. I started to think that none of the dresses were for me.

When all the girls were done looking, I decided to go look. All of the dresses were separated by style. I wanted to get a traditional dress so I went over to the rack which was all the way in the back by the hallway. I looked through all of the dresses but they all looked the same. Just as I was about to give up, I saw a white cloth sticking out from the hallway. I started walking towards it. When I picked it up, I fell in love with it. This was the one for me.

I looked at the dress. It had spaghetti straps. It looked like it would be tight around my torso but it started to puff out at the hips. On the torso it has white lace on it and everyone now and then, when two lines touched on the lace, there was one sparkle. I loved it. It wasn't too fancy but it wasn't too dull. Hopefully it would look good on me.

"How about this one?" I asked them. They told me to try it on. When I put it on I instantly feel in love with it all over again. I walked out of the dressing room smiling. The girls smiled and started nodding their head. Marlene was the first one to speak.

"Everyone, I would like you to meet, Lily Potter."
