Excerpt:
“Listen,” said Sirius earnestly, “I’m just about to go on my lunch break. I was thinking maybe you could use a break, too? My treat. No pressure, or anything ….”
Remus hesitated. Was Sirius asking him on a date? He knew he should not encourage Sirius, but he also could not afford to turn down a free meal.
“Yeah, all right.” He began to put his books and papers into his bag.
Sirius’s grin widened. “Great!”
He moved to help Remus gather up his things, and Remus almost took a step back, his heart suddenly beating faster. It felt strange to have Sirius so close, without a desk or a book cart between them.
