I knew I loved you---- 4 October 1980

James Potter wrote:In all the years I had known Moony, I did not recall him ever being so happy.  I smiled and put my arm around Lily.  I knew that this day was even more special to my best mate than to any one of us when we got married -- he had found someone to be himself with.  Something he never thought would be possible due to his furry little problem.  And Chloe... she looked gorgeous.  I was not sure if I had ever seen her this happy, either, to be honest.

I leaned on James as we watched the pair of them in the middle of the room with cameras in every direction. " Now, I know how they felt." I said as I blinked a few times as I continued to watch the new married couple share their first dance.

I smiled, leaning down and giving my wife a kiss.  "I have to say that I remember that feeling like it was yesterday, love," I whispered to her, knowing that she knew exactly what I meant.  One does not just simply stop remembering that.

I held onto my husband's hand and leaned my head on his shoulder.  "They look so happy, don't they?" I said softly.  I was so happy to see that.

I smiled as we watched, the song ended and we were about to be told it was party time. we had awaited for that. " Let's have some fun." I said as Remus and Chloe made their way back to their seats.

"Do you think we'll even be able to eat at any point tonight?" I asked my new bride with a smile.  I looked around at our friends.  My dad and Cathie were keeping Penelope from spilling something down the front of her flower-girl dress.

"Lil, how about you take my sister and go show them how to groove," I said, seeing Mr. Lupin and Mrs. Lupin.  "I think I have a little girl that I'm going to snag... give my second dad a break."  I winked at her, walking over to the Lupins.  "How about I grab Penny?  She probably would prefer dancing with me anyways..."

I laughed slightly when James came over to us.  the boys were like sons to me.  "Well, James, we'd greatly enjoy that," I said to him as Penny seemed to enjoy the fact.  For a five year old little girl, she was very personable.  "Behave, missy," I added when I saw her impish grin -- which James matched.  "You too, James."  I grinned at him when he took Penny away.  I was so happy for my family -- even the extended ones.  Everyone was finally making it where they wanted to be... and with little ones on the way as well.

Holding her close as I swayed, " They really do....about time too. " I said with a grin. Knowing that this was a long time coming. Something they totally deserved, I was happy for them.

I giggled and went away from my parents and to Uncle James.  "Of course!  Let's dance!" I said, grinning.  I waved at my parents and Uncle James took me out to dance.

I held little Penny and started to dance like a goofball with her.  I knew that John and Cathie would enjoy a little time to themselves.  They were practically a second set of parents to me.  Especially John.  I spun her around and let her stand on my feet.

Rushing over to Ember, " let's dance!" I said as I led my sister in law to the dance floor. " james wanted to dance with a pretty little girl." I said as I stole her away.

I laughed, barely able to give Sirius a quick kiss on the lips when Lily stole me away.  "Sounds about right," I said, seeing James with Penny.  "He's trying to win over some points, I think."  I winked at Lily and laughed.

Grinning, " As if you want me to share all that with you!" I laughed as I brought her to the floor. " Y'know.....we haven't heard something in a little while." I teased. She better remember what I mean and with Chloe I am surprised we haven't heard it yet.

I found Sirius and stood next to him.  "Looks like Ems just got stolen from you, mate," I said, taking a bite o chocolate that I had.  I knew that I needed to eat something.  I was tired, but I was happy.  At least we were able to get this together without any issues of the full moon interfering too much.

<< And what are you talking about that Ems should know any about?  I'm confused lol >>

"Let's go dance with the babies!" I said, stopping to look for Dean, Harry, and little Will.  I loved them so much... I wanted to pay with them.
