I do

(Bring out the tissues. Second to last chapter before the sequel.)

"JADE WAKE UP!"

"LILY SHUT THE FUCK UP!" I yelled back and sat up rubbing my eyes. "Honestly, what's with all the shouting. I'm only getting married today."

The girls stayed silent and looked at me with smiled in their faces.

"OH MERLIN'S BLOODY BALLSACK I'M GETTING MARRIED TODAY!" I stood up from the bed and started to cry. "I'm getting married today!"

"Well this isn't the reaction we expected from her but we'll take it." Marlene said and hugged while Lily and Dorcas wiped my tears. "You're getting married, Jade."

"I can't believe that one of us is getting married!" Alice said walking in the room with Mum holding some boxes and a bouquet of roses. "Sirius sent the flowers, James sent the box and your Mum is holding the dress."

"My Princess is getting married! I never thought I'd see the day." Mum smiled and hugged me.

"How are my boys, Mum?"

"Sirius woke up about an hour ago and started screaming, Remus has been trying to calm him down but started to scream also, Peter is trying to keep the peace, and your brother hasn't stopped crying." Mum rolled her eyes and placed the dress on the bed.

"Typical boys."

...

~Sirius POV~

"Prongs, can you stop crying?"

"NO!" James yelled and wiped his tears. "My Padfoot and my Didi are getting married. I'm walking my twin down the aisle, I CAN CRY IF I WANT TO."

"Well technically Padfoot is the one who should be crying and he's not." Remus shrugged and slapped James. "Get it together. I don't want to see your reaction when you marry Lily."

"I can see him now. Him not sleeping and crying the entire day." I laughed and put an arm around James.

"It's my childhood dream, Pads. Let me be."

...

~Jade's POV~

"Two hours left. You wanna start getting ready now or do you want to cry a bit more?" Lily asked and rubbed my back.

"I never thought this would happen. I always thought I was going to stay single forever and that Sirius was going to get bored of me." I smiled and looked at the flowers he sent. "I love him so much."

"There's a note, you know?" Mum smirked and handed me the flowers. I opened the note and immediately started to sob once I read it.

One for each year we've been alive. The black ones symbolize the years I spent without you, the red ones symbolize every year you spent by my side.
I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you.

Love,
Your Padfoot

"Okay now that's cute as hell!" Lily cooed reading the note also.

"You girls decent?" I heard James knock on the door. Alice opened the door and James was immediately by my side. "Getting cold feet?"

"No. She just read the note Sirius sent." Lily smiled and kissed his cheek. "Why are you here?"

"To tell you that Dumbledore, Minnie and Hagrid just arrived to the Manor. Same with the Weasleys and guess what? They have twins! And I came to see how my Didi is doing."

"Your Didi is looking like a hot mess." I laughed and hugged him. "Wait twins!?"

"Yep. Two boys named Fred and George. That makes five kids already."

"Merlin's beard, I can barely imagine myself with one kid, let alone five. All boys?" Lily asked.

"All boys." James nodded.

"Can you apparate home and tell Molly to come along with Bill and Charlie? I have an idea." I smiled. James nodded and left.

"What do you have planned?" Mum asked.

"An idea. That's all."

...

"Can we come in?" Molly knocked on the door and I opened it smiling. "Jade, it's so good to see you! Congratulations!"

"You too, Molly. Congratulations on the twins. Let's hope they don't turn out like James and me." I smirked and looked at the boy next to her. "Bill and Charlie?"

"Well go ahead, introduce yourself." Molly moved and the boy smiled at me making me smile back.

"My name's Bill! You're very pretty."

"And I'm Charlie. Nice too meet you!"

"Why thank you, Bill. You're two are very handsome as well. My name is Jade. Do you want to help me with something?" I asked them and they nod excitedly. "Well you see, I don't have anyone to carry the rings and the flowers and I was thinking if you boys would do me the honor of helping me out with that?"

Bill and Charlie looked towards Molly who nodded.

"I call flowers!" Charlie yelled. 

"I do the rings!" Bill yelled making me smile.

"Then it's settled. You two are going to be the stars of this wedding." I hugged them both and looked at Molly who was smiling at me. "Molly, do you mind helping me put on the dress? Alice can take the boys downstairs and get them ready."

"I would be honored, Jade. You look very beautiful." Molly smiled and helped Mum and Lily put on my dress as Dorcas was searching for the veil and Marlene was holding my hair.

"Thank you, Molly. But seriously, five boys? When's the girl coming already?" I said making her laugh.

"Hopefully one day. We can only hope." Molly smiled and put on my veil. "Beautiful!"

"We can only hope that the twins won't turn out like mine, Molly. Merlin knows I've had my fair share of headaches keeping up with these two." Mum laughed and kissed my forehead. "I'll go get your brother. It's almost time."

"You love us, Mum!"

"You have no idea."

...

~Sirius POV~

"Mate, we're ready for you." Remus walked in the room smiling. "Little Vixen is on her way with the girls."

"Have you seen her?" I asked nervously.

"Nope, only James. He's waiting by the entrance for her so we need you to go to the gardens." I nodded and walked out with Remus.

"I'm nervous, Moony."

"I'd be surprised if you weren't."

...

"MINNIE YOU'RE HERE!" I yelled and hugged her tight.

"Of course, Mr. Black. I wouldn't miss this for the world." She smiled.

"We can drop the formalities, Minnie. It's Sirius now." I smirked and walked towards Hagrid. "I'm so glad you could make it. It really means a lot for us."

"We wouldn't miss this for the world, Sirius." I smiled and hugged Hagrid.

"Professor Dumbledore! I'm so glad you're here."

"Minerva dragged me from my office to come here. Congratulations." Dumbledore said smiling. I smiled back and walked towards the alter where Remus was already standing.

"You okay?" Remus asked fixing my tie.

"Can you blame me if I say I'm about to shit my pants?" I chuckled.

"Not at all, surprisingly. Now I gotta go, I think the girls are here already."

Here we go!

...

~Jade's POV~

"DIDI YOU LOOK AMAZING!"

"James, lower your voice. All of England heard you." Lily rolled her eyes and fixed my train. "You okay, Jade?"

"I'm shaking like a damn chihuahua, you tell me." I chuckled nervously.

"Let's go inside for a minute." James took my hand and we walked inside. Once we entered his room he started to cry.

"Bam Bam?"

"My Didi is going to be a wife today. Looks like we're not kids anymore." James wrapped his arms around me and I hugged him back fighting my own tears.

"I'm still your baby sister, James. Nothing and nobody is going to change that. I still need my brother to help me survive this crazy world. Nothing is going to change the bond that we have, not even Padfoot. Okay?" I wiped his tears and smiled. "It feels weird wiping your tears since you always do that to me."

"How many times have we practiced this?"

"About a thousand times by the age of six and nothing compares to the rush we're feeling right now." I chuckled and kissed his cheek. "Are we ready to do this?"

"I don't think I'll ever be ready for this moment, but I'm willing to try." James said wiping his tears one last time. "Now let's get you married before I start crying again."

...

~Sirius POV~

"Are you doing okay, son?"

"I'm nervous but in a good way, Fleamont." I smiled. "I've been waiting for this moment since I proposed and I can't believe it's finally here."

"I have no doubt in my mind that you'll make her happy." Fleamont smiled and James ran towards us.

"Pads looking snazzy as always. Dad, Didi wants to see you. She's inside." Fleamont nodded and left with James.

"Don't look so nervous." Peter stood up with Marlene and walked towards me.

"I can't help it. I don't even know of my vows are properly written and-"

"Sirius Orion Black The Third, that is enough. You have been stressing about every little detail since the moment you two started dating and everything has turned out perfectly okay. Just let things happen. If you forget your vows, just improvise. That's what you guys the infamous Marauders, you five profe yourselves in improvising when things go wrong. Stop fucking stressing out and let's do this shit." Marlene slapped my arm and sat back down.

"It's time, you ready?" Frank asked since he was officiating the ceremony. I nodded and he gave a thumbs up to Remus who immediately ran back inside.

"I can't wait."
...

~Jade's POV~

"It's time." Remus said walking back inside. "Bill, Charlie, you two ready?"

They both nodded and got in line.

"You okay now, James?" I asked him as Lily handed me the bouquet. He nodded shakily and sighed.

"I'll never be ready but I know you'll be happy with him. Let's do this." James kissed my forehead.

Lily smiled and linked arms with Remus as he opened the doors. Bill walked first, followed by Charlie.

"See you out there, Mrs. Black." Remus smirked and walked out with Lily.

"Getting cold feet?" James asked smirking.

"Hell no. According to everybody, I know no fear." I looked at James and smiled. "Thanks for doing this Bam Bam."

"Anything for my Didi."

"Can everyone please stand?" I heard Frank announce and I immediately felt a rush run through me. James smiled and tightened his grip on my hand.

"Let's do this." James and I said in unison and we walked out.

As soon as we walked out, everyone gasped and there wasn't a dry eye in the place. I looked towards the altar to find Remus holding a crying Sirius upright and whispering to him.

"You make him weak in the knees." James choked out. I looked at him to find him crying again.

I laughed and started to tear up also. We reached the altar and Sirius was still sobbing.

"Honestly man, get a grip." Remus whispered and gave him a nudge.

"Who is giving her away?" Frank asked wiping his tears.

"Her brother, James." James choked out and looked at me. He wiped my tears and kissed my forehead and then turned towards Sirius. "A hair is missing from her head, and you're dead."

"No talking about death at a wedding." Frank scolded and everybody laughed. Sirius nodded.

"I love you, Bam Bam." I smiled at him.

"I love you more, Didi." James smiled back and sat down next to Mum and Dad. Sirius grabbed my arm and started to cry again.

"You look so beautiful, sunshine." Sirius gave me a hug and everybody aww'ed. "Frank hurry up, I want to kiss my bride already."

"Calm down, Sirius." Frank rolled his eyes and everybody laughed. "Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to watch these two troublemakers tie the knot. We always knew this would happen but not so fast. Now let me start before McGonagall comes and kills me."

...

"I understand that the bride and groom have written their own vows?" We nodded. "Well this should be fun. Sirius whenever you're ready."

"Almost eight years ago, I walked into the Hogwarts Express not knowing what my faith was going to be. I was so terrified about the type of person that I was going to be that I even sat in a compartment alone. And that's when I saw you and James. You two walked in and I immediately smelled trouble-"

"YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT ME!" James yelled and I rolled my eyes at him.

"I'm having a moment, James! Anyways, that was the day that my sunshine walked into my life. It may sound cliche but my life was full of darkness until the moment I laid eyes on you. Soon you were sorted into Slytherin and I felt my heart ache because you were in the house that I was desperately trying to escape from. Fast forward to third year and I made the biggest mistake of my entire life by letting you think that I hated you because of your cunning and ambitious ways when in reality, I was falling for you and falling hard. Seven years by your side have been anything but easy but I replay those moments in my mind every single day. I fell for you in the most dumbest way possible. Everyone said that I was attracted to your looks alone but that is far from the truth. I fell for the way you tilted your head when confused, the little dances you do when you finally understood something, among others. I fell for you because you were the only person who brought light into my darkest days with just a small smile and a hug. Hell, I could just think about you and my day would already be better. So, I'm looking forward to spending the rest of our lives together. I promise to care for you, help you, and hold your hair back when you're kicking ass. I promise to be your shoulder, your rock, and most of all, your favorite idiot. I will take your love to give me hope, give me joy, and make me a better man. I love you, my beautiful sunshine." Sirius smiled and wiped my tears.

"Okay, so I hate Sirius for making me cry. Jade, get your act together and say your vows." Frank said wiping his eyes making us laugh.

"My favorite idiot, my best friend. Seven years with you were filled with a lot of adrenaline rushes and small heart attacks, but I wouldn't have it any other way. Out of all the stupid shit you've done, you dangling from a chandelier in fourth year has got to be the most stupid of them all.-"

"HE WHAT!?" Everybody yelled.

"Yes, he dangled from a chandelier and almost fell to his death, yet he still survived and Jade almost killed him for this." James calmed everybody down. "Continue, Didi."

"Anyways, I never thought that just a few months later, we would be going on our first date on Christmas Eve. Every single moment with you has been one full of adventure and mystery which would make the normal girl run screaming for the hills. Lucky for you, I'm not your normal girl. I was once told that for you to fall for me, I had to act like everyone else, but I refused to bow down. Why? You once told me that when the world tries to change who you are is because you're doing something right. Thanks to you, I learned to not back down and when the world bites, I should look at it dead in the eye and bite back. Unlike everyone, you never treated me like a delicate little Princess, you treated me like an equal and even challenged me to be better than the person I was yesterday. I know that I'm far from perfect, believe me, I know. But I love that you treat me like I am. I stand before you as a woman with no reservations, choosing to spend the rest of my life with you. I long to grow with you in mind and spirit to live together all the days of our lives. To have a soulmate it doesn't mean to have a peaceful coexistence, it means to have someone to challenge you, who keeps you honest, and who makes you be the better version of yourself, no matter how hard that is. I promise to love you, care for you, and kick ass alongside you. I promise that when everyone has turned their backs on you, you will always have a home with me by your side. I love you, Padfoot." I leaned up and wiped Sirius' tears smiling.

"Dammit Jade, I'm not supposed to be the one crying here." Frank mumbled. "Do we have the rings? Please? Before I start crying again."

Bill handed the rings to Remus and Lily who handed them to us. Sirius smiled big and put the band on my hand and I did the same to him.

"Sirius Black, do you take Jade Potter to love and hold, in sickness and in health, in rich or poor, until death do you part?" Frank asked smiling.

"I do."

"Jade Potter, do you take Sirius Black to love and hold, in sickness and in health, in rich or poor, until death do you part?"

"I do." Everyone laughed at the dance Sirius did.

"Well by the power vested in me and the Ministry of Magic, I now pronounce you husband and wife. And yes Sirius, you can finally kiss your bride." Frank closed the book smiling.

"Well it's about damn time, Frank." Sirius smiled and kissed me. "Why hello, Mrs. Black."

"Hello, Mr. Black."

...

"Please welcome, Mr. and Mrs. Black!" Marlene yelled once we entered. "Now can everyone stay standing for their first dance?"

"Care to dance?" Sirius smiled and held out his hand.

"I thought you'd never ask." Sirius chuckled and wrapped his arms around me.

"If you would've told me the night of Bella's wedding that I would be dancing with you as husband and wife, I wouldn't believe you." Sirius said and kissed me.

"Why?"

"I never thought we'd live long enough to see this day. I thought I lost you fifth year." He shrugged and held me tighter.

"You're not getting rid of me that easily, Padfoot. I'm here for the long run." I smirked.

"So am I, sunshine."

...

"Jade, someone's here to see you." Lily whispered to me. "It's him."

"What!?" I whispered back and ran towards the entrance of the Manor to find Regulus hiding behind a bush. "I know you're there, Reg. How did you-"

"Word got out. I don't know who did it. There was going to be an attack since Dumbledore is here, right?" I nodded.

"But how are you here?"

"I told the Deatheaters that there is no wedding since my brother is a 'hothead' and won't marry you until the war is up. Then I took the Nightbus about twenty blocks from here and took a lot of detours just in case." Regulus shrugged and looked at me. "You look beautiful Jade, Sirius is a very lucky man."

"Do you want to come inside and have some cake?" I asked concerned.

"I think it's best if I don't stay very long. You always give me advice, so it's my turn to give some to you. Someone wants to do you harm and I don't know who it is since I'm not in the inner circle despite Mum's wishes. Just watch your back and don't be afraid to strike back. I'm so sorry for ruining your special day like this." I rolled my eyes and hugged him nonetheless.

"I will, Regulus. I promise. But thanks for letting me know you're okay and not in the inner circle. Take care of yourself and write to me, okay?" He nodded and sighed.

"I'll try but I heard they're intercepting owls, so I apologize in advance if I write in code or not write at all."

"Just let me know how school goes and an update in your life every once in a while and we'll be fine. Now, you should go before your demon Mum starts searching for you." Regulus laughed slightly which made me smile.

"All right, all right. I'll see you, Jade. And I'm very happy for you and Sirius. Tell my brother I said hello." Regulus hugged me one last time and left.

"Watch your back, Jade."

...

"Where were you? It's speech time." Sirius asked grabbing my hand.

"I was seeing Regulus. There was about to be an attack tonight but he managed to stop it saying that we weren't married yet. He couldn't stay long since the demon is probably searching for him." I said and Sirius sighed sadly. "Hey, don't let this get you down. Think of it as Reg's wedding gift to us. None of us are dead and it's still a good night."

"I know. But who could've said something?"

"I don't know and I'm not thinking about it. It's speech time." I smiled and watched as Remus stood up.

"I honestly don't know how to start this, so I'll make it up as I go. Now, these two idiots are the most dense and stupid people you'd ever meet. Sirius has been dragging my ass since fifth year stressing out for every little detail in order to keep his sunshine happy. Jade has actually been the normal person in the relationship which actually surprises me. We all know that Jade is terrifying every waking moment but she's actually a total sweetheart, especially when she's with her favorite idiot. A love as pure as theirs is really rare to witness and I'm so happy that both of them have each other. Jade can be the one kicking ass and Sirius can focus on being pretty and making sure that Jade is kept in check when she's pissed. Because let me tell you, she scares the daylights out of me when she's pissed. Anyways, congratulations to my two best friends and I wish you a lifetime of happiness and ass kicking side-by-side." Remus raised his glass and we all did the same smiling.

"I LOVE YOU REMUS!" Sirius and I yelled at him. Lily grabbed a glass and wiped her tears.

"Two complete polar opposites. A Gryffindor and a Slytherin. And yet, they're the same person. Jade, my best friend and my sister, and Sirius, your local idiot. The moment Jade and I became friends in first year, I knew that she was going to fall in love with Sirius. If you saw how the two acted when they were together, you'd understand why. As Remus said, a love as pure as the one they share is almost impossible to witness and we're all lucky to be present in this moment. Two troublemakers ready to raise some hell together and we're all here for it, honestly. Congratulations to my sister and my friend and I wish them a lifetime of joy and good vibes as the two of you embark this new journey together. I love you both." Lily smiled and raised her glass to us.

James stood up and grabbed a glass and Lily had to wipe his tears since he was crying again.

"This should be fun." Sirius whispered to me and kissed my cheek. I nodded and smiled at my brother.

"My Didi and my Padfoot got married today and Merlin knows that I haven't stopped crying. I'm giving two separate speeches so brace yourself and my plan is to make Minnie cry even more. First of all, to my dear twin sister. A whole life by your side and I never prepared myself for this moment. My sweet Didi. I never thought this day would come. I was up last night thinking about the argument we had back in fourth year. I have never seen you so mad at me for something that was completely my fault. I never apologized for that, so right now, and in front of everyone, I'm apologizing to you for breaking your heart and for not letting you be truly happy with the only person I deem worthy for my sister. Jade, I love you with all my heart and if I could choose, I'd always choose to be your brother and best friend. So here's to my sister, the badass, the queen, my best friend, and my other half. May you have a lifetime with happiness and even more adventures." I cried as Sirius hugged me and kissed my forehead.

"I love you, Bam Bam."

"I love you too. Now onto the good stuff. PADFOOT! HOW DARE YOU STEAL MY SISTER!? You're lucky you're my best friend and that I trust you with my damn life or else we might've had a problem here. Honestly, I have to thank you for everything you've done for my Didi. You were there to hold her, defend her and love her when I was to blind and stupid to see that she wasn't okay. Thank you for loving my sister like you do and for having the patience to deal with her because let's be honest, she's a handful."

"Watch it, James. I can still beat your ass in this wedding dress." I smirked.

"See!? She's relentless. Anyways, here's to my brother. I wish you a lifetime of happiness, love, hope and lots of patience. So here's to the bride and groom, from your brother who's always by your side." James wiped his tears and raised his glass at us. "May you both always be satisfied. And let there be a lot of ass kicking together because we're dealing with a couple of badasses."

...

"You do know that you can put me down and I can walk up the stairs right?"

"Fuck no! Besides, knowing you, you'd probably trip and fall on your ass and I'm not spending our first night as husband and wife tending to your wounds." Sirius rolled his eyes and laid me on the bed. "I love you, Mrs. Black."

"That'll take some time to get used to." I laughed and Sirius chuckled against my neck. "I love you too, Mr. Black.

"Ready to spend the rest of our lives together?"

"Bring it on."
