March 3rd 1979

≪ Regulus ≫

"Moooorning!" Sirius wakes Regulus up earlier than really necessary seeing as they were out yesterday evening (not drinking too much but enough to make them tipsy).

Regulus groans as his older brother jumps onto his bed. He hated not having Danica with him last night.

"How early?" Regulus says groggily as he rubs his eyes. "It's still dark."

"Indeed it is, dear brother. But it's your wedding day!"

Regulus grins and sits up, any tiredness now completely forgotten about.

"Morning Reggie," James says cheerily as he walks into the room, an apron on over his pyjamas.

Of course, the three boys are used to getting up at silly o'clock for quidditch practice so they shake off their sleep very quickly.

"Morning James," he says as the bespectacled man passes him a black coffee. "Thanks," he smiles. "How'd you sleep on the sofa?"

Sirius looks at him and shakes his head.

"Have you not learnt anything in the whole time you've been at Hogwarts with us?"

"Umm..."

"We shared the bed," James supplies and chuckles. "Come on," he says, now sitting on Regulus's other side, "we're basically brothers... and Remus and Lily don't mind."

"Nah," Sirius says, grinning widely. "Not when there's a proposal on the way."

Regulus almost chokes on his coffee.

"What!?" He smiles wide and looks at Sirius.

"Mhm," he nods and crosses his arms, reclining onto Danica's pillow.

"I'm proud of you mate," Regulus says and ruffles Sirius's hair.

"Oi!" He says. "My hair!"

James and Regulus laugh at him.

"It's still neat, Mr Perfect," Regulus teases.

Sirius pouts dramatically.

"Anyway," James says, bringing their attention back to the day. "Marquee will be here at eight. We all need to be washed and changed by twelve. Then the ceremony starts at twelve-thirty. After-"

"Okay! Okay!" Sirius sits up and shuts his best friend up. "We know, chill out, Prongs. How's the breakfast?"

"I better get back to it," James says and smiles as he gets off the bed and heads to the door. "It will be like a Saturday morning at school before quidditch: bacon, sausages, eggs, toast- you name it," he grins and rushes back downstairs.

"What a tosser," Sirius says jokingly.

8:00
≪ Danica ≫

Danica wakes up at a much more reasonable time. She shifts in the huge bed that is her and Regulus's every time they stay at the Potters'. She smiles as she rubs her eyes and pulls the bedsheets around her. The small gap in the curtains reveals a clear blue sky.

"Perfect," she whispers to herself.

Slowly the door creeps open and Remus steps into the room.

"Morning bubs," he says and sits next to her on the bed after placing down two mugs of tea.

"Morning," she says brightly and sits up. "It was strange not having Reg."
