[Comprehensive HP colleagues] That year

Half a month after the poison/drug base was smashed, Alice and Frank finally held their wedding in the canyon outside Campbell Castle in Scotland, and Lily was the bridesmaid.After the wedding, James also put Lily's marriage on the agenda, because the Potters said they couldn't wait.

Three days later, the Evans house.

James was dressed in Muggle attire and sat nervously on the stool. Opposite him were the serious-looking Evans parents.That's right, this is the so-called, meet the parents.

Of course, this is not the first time James has met Lily's parents. He has been to the Evans' house countless times, and he has long been familiar with Lily's parents.But this time is different. This time, he wants to marry his daughter.

At the same time, Sirius and Lynn sat in the small garden outside Evans' house with Lily who was also restless, waiting nervously.Seeing Lily standing up and sitting down for a while, and looking into the living room from time to time, Lynn and Sirius couldn't help becoming nervous.

In the living room, Papa Evans looked at James seriously.

About ten years ago, because of that boy named Severus Snape, he had learned that his daughter was a witch.In the years that followed, Lily and Snape's relationship grew from strength to strength.

This made him, a father, always worried.As a man of conscience, he felt sorry for the child who had an unfortunate childhood, but as a father, he didn't really like Lily and Snape getting too close.No, no, it wasn't because Snape was a wizard, his own daughter was a witch, how could he reject wizards?But Snape, alas, how should I put it, looks gloomy, doesn't care much about hygiene, and has a withdrawn personality and harsh words since he was a child. This has not changed in the slightest as he grows up.He knew that Snape couldn't be blamed for this, there were many reasons for Snape's parents, so he never blocked his daughter's friendship with Snape, and he also hoped that Lily could make this boy a little more cheerful.

But that didn't mean he wanted his daughter to have a romantic relationship with Snape.

Before her daughter's fifth-year summer break, Snape was the only boy she had brought home.The only one, what does that mean?

It's like everyone in the world pities Quasimodo, but how many parents would like their daughter to marry a person like Quasimodo?What's more, he wasn't even sure if Snape had a kind heart like Quasimodo. Snape had never concealed his dislike for Petunia, and he had never been polite to himself, Lily's father.

How could he trust Lily to such a Snape?

Finally, during the summer vacation two years ago, he found that Snape never came to see Lily again, and Lily had been depressed when she returned home from vacation.He asked Lily what was going on, and Lily said she broke up with Snape, but Lily refused to say what the reason was.Lily's other classmate and good friend, that Lynn Bruce, often comes to accompany Lily to go out to relax.It was not easy for him to pry the girl's mouth open, and he finally knew that it was because Snape joined a "wing" organization in school, which specifically bullied Muggle-born classmates.

He originally thought that the organization was a small fight among classmates, but a month later, when Lynn's parents were killed by a black wizard, he realized that things were not as simple as he once thought.

After Lily and Lynn became friends, he had a lot of contact with the Bruce couple. He admired the family very much, so he was very sad about the death of the Bruce couple.

Their family temporarily adopted Lynn, and during the time Lynn lived in their house, he met the male classmates of the other two daughters, James in front of him, and Sirius outside.

James' thoughts on Lily, he discovered on the first day he saw him.Because of Snape, he already had a shadow on male wizards, so at the beginning, he was always indifferent to these two boys.But after more than half a month of contact, he had to admit that this James Potter was actually a very good date.On the one hand, James has a cheerful personality and talks humorously, without any contempt for those who don't know magic in his words; on the other hand, he is willing to compromise for Lily.

Yes, compromise.On the first day of meeting, Petunia treated James just like she did with Snape. When James was curious about some household appliances, she called him a country bumpkin who had never seen the world. When helping to cook but accidentally broke the bowl, call him a loser...

Whether it was because he was open-minded and didn't care about these, or because he compromised for Lily, at least James tolerated all of these, instead of scolding Petunia or turning his head away like Snape did.

But he is a wizard, and he already knows that there is a war going on in the current wizarding world.He didn't want his daughter to be involved in this war, but if Lily married a wizard, she would have to be involved.

Going back to reality.

"James, we don't doubt your relationship with Lily, and we believe that you are willing to take care of her for the rest of your life, but we also know that your wizarding world is now engaged in a war. Yes, we know that although Lily is hiding it from us, But we still accidentally discovered your newspaper. And we discovered that this war is aimed at children like our Lily who were born in an ordinary world and whose parents are ordinary people. We have always hoped that Lili can return to China after graduation. She came to the ordinary world, but she chose to stay in the wizarding world in the end. As parents, we want to know how you can ensure our daughter’s safety in the wizarding world.” Father Evans’ voice was resounding, with an unavoidable majesty.

James took a deep breath and replied word by word: "Mr. Evans, I can say that I will never let Lily do anything, but I know that would be a lie. During the war years, anyone's There is no guarantee of life. Although this is a war in the wizarding world, it is not safe in Ma...I mean in the ordinary world. The initiator of this war is an extremist who hates ordinary people. In fact, there have been many terrorist attacks by his men in the ordinary world. Including you know, Lily's friend Lynn, her parents are also ordinary people, and they died in such terrorist activities. I can't Said, I can guarantee Lili's life [-]%, I can only say that no one can cross me and hurt Lily, unless they step over my dead body."

The Evans couple looked at James earnestly swearing, and looked at each other again. After a long time, Evans' father called several people outside the door into the house.

As soon as Lily entered the door, she ran nervously and grabbed James' hand, asking how he was doing with her eyes, and James gave her a look that he didn't know.

Father Evans stepped forward, held the hands tightly held by the two, and sighed: "James, I believe in you and will protect Lily with your life. I hand over my daughter to you. You must Be nice to her."

Lily wept with joy.

After passing Lily's parents, everyone began to plan the wedding in an all-round way.The wedding is scheduled for a month later.

Since James Sirius and Lily have to participate in Auror training every day, they only have Sundays to rest. Peter also works full-time in the Muggle world. Take over most of the wedding planning.

Speaking of Remus' work, these friends have always been on their minds.In fact, Remus has always had excellent grades. When looking for a job, every employer's eyes lit up when they saw his report card, but they immediately shunned him when they heard that he was a werewolf. My long-term job is just doing odd jobs for some shops.Remus has a strong nature and refuses to accept help from James and the others. He always says, "I can't rely on you all my life. I must learn to face life by myself."

Speaking of which, Remus' most stable source of income so far comes from Bathilda, and this is a small trick discussed by Lynn and Sirius.Once Lynn chatted with his teacher about werewolves, and found that the teacher expressed sympathy for the unequal encounters many werewolves suffered in society.After she went back to the apartment and informed Sirius of this, Sirius immediately asked Lynn to go back the next day and ask Bathilda if she would like to hire an extra assistant.Bathilda learned of what happened to Remus, and after looking at his History of Magic grades, she agreed to hire Remus, but since Bathilda herself was not rich, she decided to only hire Remus on a part-time basis. , working three days a week.In order for Remus to accept the job, Bathilda even agrees to act in a play for Lynn and the others.She invited the group of six to her house, and pretended to appreciate Remus when she saw Lynn sorting out the historical materials, and immediately asked Remus if he would take the time to help her, the old lady.Of course Remus was very happy, although he was a little skeptical that Lynn had arranged this, but he really needed the part-time salary urgently, so he agreed on the spot.

Half a month later, Auror training was on vacation, and Lynn finally had the opportunity to take James and Lily to try on wedding dresses, with Sirius as his companion.Lily's is a classic and nostalgic ivory wedding dress. At first glance, the style is very simple, but if you look closely, you will find that there are countless hollow lilies embroidered on the wedding dress, which also implies Lily's love. name.Alison's Chinese grandmother is a well-known wedding dress designer in the Muggle world. As soon as Alison heard that Lily was going to get married this time, she immediately helped Lily choose. It is a pity that the team went to Africa for inspection and could not be Lily's bridesmaid.Those lilies were embroidered stitch by stitch by Alison's grandmother, and Alison cast magic on them, so that the lily patterns would slowly open and close under the sunlight.Lily fell in love with the wedding dress as soon as she saw it and couldn't wait to try it on.When Lynn led her out of the fitting room, James was dumbfounded.

Don't say that James has beauty in his lover's eye, even Lynn and Sirius saw it, and Lily was stunned into silence for a long time.Putting on a wedding dress and some light makeup, Lily is simply not as beautiful as a woman in this world.

Seeing that everyone was staring at her with good eyes, Lily felt very embarrassed. She coughed lightly, and then asked, "How is it?"

Sirius was the first to react, and said exaggeratedly: "It's over, you're dressed like this, it's too frustrating for James to stand beside you."

"What are you talking about?" James gave Sirius a hard turn, then continued to look at Lily with good eyes.

Lynn couldn't help laughing: "James, Sirius is right. You see that your saliva is about to flow out now, what if you behave like this at the wedding?"

"No, no, no, I have to ask the designer to help me change my groom's dress." James said as he ran away to the fitting room at the back, which made Sirius and Lynn laugh out loud.Lily said helplessly: "Sirius, help me go in and see him, it's just a wedding dress, he won't be able to."

Sirius suppressed a smile and went to find James.

The groom and the best man left, and Lynn, the bridesmaid, helped the bride, Lily, to sit down.Lynn was still looking at Lily and smiling, but Lily herself smiled and her face calmed down.

"What's wrong? Why are you suddenly in a bad mood?" Lynn was a little puzzled.

"No, it's just that the wedding dress is very Muggle-style. I remembered Petunia's wedding. At that time, Petunia didn't even want me, her only sister, to be her bridesmaid, so she was a little unhappy." Lily said with a sigh.

"Petunia...does she know that you have already set a date for marriage?"

Lily sighed again: "Understood, this is another reason why I am unhappy. Petunia said that she was not sure if she would accompany Mr. Dursley to the business banquet that day, so she might not come To the wedding. Actually, I know, she's not happy that I ended up marrying a wizard."

Lynn didn't know how to comfort Lily, she had never encountered such a thing before.

Just as they were talking, James and Sirius came out from behind talking and laughing, and Lily immediately put away her slight sadness and greeted James with a smile.

Lin En looked at Lily's smiling face without any trace of worry, and couldn't help sighing secretly: Sure enough, life is never truly complete.

Time flew by in the busyness, and in a blink of an eye, it was the day before the wedding.In order for James and Lily to recharge their batteries and hold the wedding in the best condition the next day, Lynn asked James and Lily to go to his and Sirius's apartment early in the morning, and they were not allowed to participate in the Potter House. The layout of the wedding scene (fortunately, there is no rule in the wizarding world that the bride and groom are not allowed to meet the night before the wedding).Lynn, Sirius, Remus and Peter, this day is busy from morning to night: Lynn and Peter are responsible for confirming the arrival time of each guest and the band, as well as the final check and confirmation of all kinds of gifts at the wedding, Sirius And Remus used magic on the outside wedding venue to arrange the venue according to the decoration plan that Lynn and Remus had determined before.When everything was ready, it was already six o'clock in the evening.Lynn and Lily lived in the apartment that night, while the other four men spent the night at Potter House.

This is the last night of Lily's maiden life. After today, she will become a young woman and truly start a new life.Thinking of this, Lynn couldn't help feeling that time flies by.The scene when I met Lily for the first time in Diagon Alley is still vivid in my memory.But at that time, no one could have imagined that they would become best friends, and she would also be her bridesmaid.

The encounters in life are really amazing.

The next day, everyone got up early again.In order to ensure safety, every guest cannot come here directly with Floo powder or apparition, so the men have to go to the designated place one by one to welcome the guests who arrive through the door key, and Lynn has to stay on the spot to help Lily make up, Guide the guests to the seats according to the seating chart, and repeatedly confirm the wedding process.

Today, the lawn in front of Potter's house is quite different from the past few days.Here are rows of purple lavender, and a pale golden translucent tent was set up by magic in the middle. There is a long orange carpet at the entrance of the tent. They all emit a soft light under the sunlight. There are rows of chocolate and white chairs, and lilies of various colors are wrapped around the pillars.

At ten o'clock in the morning, all the guests arrived.The melodious music came to mind on the grass, Evans' father took Lily's hand and walked along the aisle, and the wizards gathered in the tent praised the bride in unison.

Finally, Lily walked to James' side, and then it was their time.

The voice of the witness, Professor McGonagall, was melodious and cheerful:

"Ladies and gentlemen, we gather here today to celebrate the union of two faithful souls..."

"James Fremont Potter, would you marry Lily Louise Evans..."

"Lily Louise Evans, would you marry James Fremont Potter..."

"...I declare you to be partners for life."

Professor McGonagall waved his wand high over the heads of the newcomers, and a cloud of silvery stars fell on them, swirling around their now embracing bodies.The ceremony was completed, and their souls were bound together.

There was thunderous applause at the guest table.Both the Potters and the Evans were on the verge of tears (in fact, Mrs. Evans did).

While Lynn watched this scene, he was sincerely happy that James and Lily finally got married, but at the same time, he also thought that Sirius and her, one was expelled from the family, and the other died of both parents. Doomed not to get the blessings of their respective parents, I'm afraid this will eventually become a pity.

"Hey, what are you thinking?" Sirius' voice rang in Lynn's ear, and Lynn realized that all the seats had been lifted into the air, and the scene had turned into a glittering dance floor.

"Beautiful lady, may I ask you to dance?" Sirius bowed and stretched out his hand to Lynn.

"Of course." Lynn desperately chased away the unhappiness in his head, then put his hand on Sirius's with a smile, and slid onto the dance floor with him.

And at this very moment, in the Dark Lord's manor, a black-haired boy who looked exactly like Sirius was helped up by the Dark Lord himself.Just a minute earlier, he had knelt down to undergo the marking ceremony, becoming the first wizard ever to join the Death Eaters before graduating.

He was so excited, completely oblivious to the burning sensation in his arm.He knew that he was about to follow the greatest man of this century to do something big.

But he would never have thought that the Dark Mark, which represented glory at this moment, was just his death talisman.
