When Remus first saw Sirius, walking up to the outcropping in the woods where everyone was gathered, he felt like he couldn’t breathe. Here was this tall, gorgeous man in a fine suit, his thin lips turned in an eager smile, his hair in a ponytail wearing a flower crown and he was here for Remus. Sometimes Remus almost forgot to remember how gorgeous Sirius was. He gulped and wondered where all the moisture in his mouth went to. Remus mouthed Sirius’s name almost without control and choked back a sob. Hold it together, Lupin, he kept telling himself.
Pandora’s friends sang a song while she danced with her four year old daughter, Luna, and Luna’s friend Ginny Weasley, her husband smiling with approval. The birds were chirping, the sun was shining and the man who would soon be his husband strode down the center of the circle that made up the party. Remus faintly wished Sirius had been there to watch Pandora’s friends cast the circle to ward off negative energies.
Upon closer inspection it was obvious that Sirius wasn’t even trying to hold it together, a stream of tears falling from his grey eyes. Sirius finally arrived to stand opposite Remus, a pagan priestess friend of Pandora’s standing between them, her red hair and green eyes painfully reminding of his departed friend who was unfortunately absent today in the physical but present in his heart, soul and mind.
Even still, Remus leaned over and whispered in Sirius’s ear, “I wish they were here. James and Lily.”
Sirius bit his lip and nodded, wiping at his face with the back of his hand.
