[James has been busy today, but he's been in very good spirits lately. There's an extra skip in his step and a bright smile as he goes down every single hall in the mansion and tosses a red invitation beneath every door that looks like it might have someone living behind it. It reads:

James Potter & Lily Evans
Request the honour and pleasure
of your company at their marriage on
Saturday the twentieth of June
Two thousand fifteen
at three o'clock in the afternoon
in the Gardens of Wonderland.
Reception to follow in Ballroom

He's admittedly gone a bit overboard with distributing them. In addition to slipping them under doors, he's charmed several of them to stick to the walls and doors, and there are even some strewn about communal areas like the kitchen and the tea rooms. The idea is for no one to be able to go anywhere in the mansion at all without learning the good news - that not only are James and Lily getting married, but they have a date.

At some point in the middle of distributing them, James decides to take a break and sits right down on the stairs. He sends out a message to the network, holding up one of their invitations.]

So! You might've found one of these already, but if not I'm sure you will soon - Lily and I are getting married! In two weeks!

[He sounds like he can hardly believe it himself. He's so excited, and so happy. Happier than he's been in a few weeks even.]

I just wanted to be absolutely clear - everyone's invited. We could all use a bit of a celebration, don't you think so? And we know there's always the chance an event could come and derail things - if that's the case, the 27th will be the...err. "Rain" date, let's say. [It's not really, but everyone knows what he means.]

Anyhow, I've got to give out the rest of these. [He waves the invitations in his hand.] We hope to see you all there!

[Then he stands up and shuts the camera off, getting back to work. He can be contacted by video, or he can be found distributing more invitations all over the place.]

Certainly! Why wouldn't I?

[He's talked to her plenty and never once has he had reason to think otherwise.]

Because most people...

[But she trailed off, shaking her head. No, never mind. It didn't matter what other people thought right then. It was a compliment--one she very seldom got a chance to hear--and she would savor the moment for as long as it lasted.]

Thanks, James. Really.

[It's easy enough to pick up on where she was going with that, so he makes certain to smile.]

You're welcome. Most people don't know what they're talking about anyhow.

See, that's what I keep thinking.

But then everybody else seems to get what they're saying, so then I'm never quite sure.

[James shrugs. He can understand it.]

Happens to me often enough here. Four years in Wonderland and sometimes muggle things still don't make any sense at all to me.

You have no idea how good it feels to know there's somebody else as lost as I am.

[No offense; she means it in the most empathetic way possible.]

I'm glad to hear it.

[Really, no offense taken whatsoever.]

Anyhow, I'll let you know as soon as we get a song picked out, alright?

Sweet.

I look forward to it.
