Who: James and Lily Potter and all their guests.
When: 14 July 1979
Where: The reception
Rating: Likely no higher than PG
Summary: After the wedding, everyone assembles for the reception. There's food, beverages, cake, music, and everyone will party like it's 1980.
Status: In Progress
By the time Lily and James arrived at the reception, most of their guests were already assembled and helping themselves to the food both her mother and James's mother graciously prepared. Music was quietly echoing around the room, though Lily was unable to make out the words of the song over the chatter from everyone in attendance. Her head felt heavy and her eyes stung from both holding back the tears throughout the ceremony and finally letting them go when her mother grabbed her around the neck shortly after she was newly named Mrs. Potter. Everything had flown by in such a whirlwind and she had to keep pinching herself because she could barely believe it was true.
She was a married woman. Just thinking about it made her head heavy. Her hand tightened around James's, whose hand she had only relinquished a few times since they left the Registry. But despite being overwhelmed, she was obliviously happy and couldn't keep from smiling even if she wanted to. Even while she ate and shared her first dance with James, the smile never disappeared. When they cut the cake and James messed ruined her makeup by smearing the cake across her mouth and cheeks, she laughed throughout her false indignation. She also got him back, too. And then, after the cake was eaten, the bouquet and the garter tossed, and more dancing...she was still obliviously happy.
