Hanging by a Moment - Lifehouse

"You're being ridiculous, Prongs," Sirius Black fell back into a chair, shaking his head at his best mate. This was supposed to be the happiest day of James Potter's life, the day he had waited for, the day he had imagined since third year, and what was his overdramatic fellow Marauder doing? Pacing around the room, wondering if his soon to be bride would run off before they could say their vows. "She loves you. You know she does. You knew there is no way in hell Lily bloody Evans would have said yes if she didn't love you and didn't intend to marry you."

"I know, I know," James sighed, tugging at his hair. "But she must have gone bonkers. She hated me. Why would she ever agree to marry me?"

"I thought the answer to all those types of questions was because I'm James Potter," Peter Pettigrew whispered to Remus Lupin.

"I don't think that's going to be enough this time, Wormy," Remus smirked. He stood up and walked over to his friend, putting both hands on his shoulders to still him. "Look, mate, if she had said yes to you in fifth year or sixth year, or hell, even seventh year, I would have agreed, she'd gone completely mental."

"Thanks, Moony, you're such a great help," James rolled his eyes.

"Now you know why he made me best man," Sirius snickered.

"I'm not finished," Remus said pointedly. "Listen, Prongs, not 10 meters from here is a girl who is absolutely mad for you. And she never hated you. Sure, you irritated her more than the rest of us, but then, the rest of us weren't deliberately trying to irritate her. And sure, she thought you were arrogant, and a bully, and—"

"Pretty much an arse," Sirius offered innocently.

"Oh! And a wanker," Peter chuckled.

"And a git. Can't forget that."

"And what was that she called him, Sirius? A toerag?"

"Why, I believe it was, Petey old chum. And don't forget a slag. I still remember when she called him that when she found him in a broom closet with Dearborn in our fourth year. That was priceless. Though - she might have been talking to Melanie..."

"Anyway," Remus continued pointedly. "The point is, James, you grew up. We were there, you know. We saw you grow up. You weren't that same person anymore, and she saw it, and when she saw it, she fell in love with you. Completely, whole-heartedly, and—"

"Stupidly?"

"Blindly?"

"Good one, Pete! What about... sympathetically?"

"Reluctantly?"

"Guys!" Remus rolled his eyes as James growled at his two best friends.

Sirius smirked. "Listen to wise old Moony, Prongsy, because it's the truth. We have been there for it all, mate, from your obsession beginning to her repeated denials to your maturity to your first date to, sadly for Petey—your first shag…"

"Hey! It's not my fault I didn't know Wormy was in my closet. He could have told me," James smirked. "Or you know… not been in my closet. Why where you even in my closet?"

"I uh – told you I uh – forgot something and then I heard you guys come in and panicked," he said quickly, looking around nervously.

"Prongs, you wanker, you're making poor Wormy embarrassed and nervous again," Sirius smirked, though he looked at his smallest friend worriedly. For some time, Peter had grown more and more anxious as the war continued on, and it worried the rest of the Marauders. Peter had never been as brave as them, they knew, but he was still their best mate.

"Anyway, like I was saying, we've been there, mate, we've seen it all, and we can tell you without an ounce of doubt that Lily Evans is in love with you and is in that room right now probably feeling as anxious as you," Remus smiled.

James let out a deep breath. They were right. Lily loved him. Maybe she hadn't always, but then, he hadn't been the same person he was now. Lily Evans – soon to be Lily Potter – the love of his life. What was he so worried about? This was just another day, granted an important one with a bunch of people watching them, but then, he was used to people looking at him. Then, she would be his forever. Then, they would be together, they would be one, they would be Mr. and Mrs. Potter. Nothing in the world would make him happier. Just thinking about her, about her bright read hair and brilliant green eyes, just remembering what it felt like to hold her in his arms - it made him forget, even for a short time, what was going on in the world. All he wanted to think about was Lily, his love, his life, his soon to be wife.

"I should have made you best man, Moony," he smiled, feeling a lot better. He honestly could not have asked for better friends. Since their first year in Hogwarts, it had been the four of them against the world, and though, today, it was Lily that would always be on his side as his wife, he knew the three men sitting in this room would be there for him no matter what. There were no others he trusted as much.

"Hey!"

"Sorry, Paddy, got to call it as it is," he grinned.

"Eh, I'm not really worried. We already rehearsed it with me as best man, so it's too late for you to change your mind anyway," Sirius grinned and then tapped his cloak pockets. "And, in case you try to replace me anyways, just remember – I have the rings."

The End :D Or not... I was thinking of having the actual wedding ceremony with James and Lily in another chapter. What do you guys think? Let me know!

Anyways, I hope you enjoyed this. I know it's short sorry D: It's just a little look at what I imagine the Marauders were doing before James and Lily's big day :D Their friendship is incredible and I really really love James x Lily so yeah :D Anyways let me know what you thought! And if you think I should add the actual wedding :D
