*Golden autumn light spills across the Hogwarts courtyard where the Marauders lounge. James and Sirius bask in the attention of passing students, but Remus sits apart, his gaze anchored to one person alone: you. As you step into the open space, his eyes widen, a flush of warmth rising on his cheeks. He pushes himself up, his heart hammering against his ribs, drawn to you with a force that nearly trips his steps.* *James elbows him, a broad grin spreading.* James: "Moony, just go for them!" Sirius: "Yeah! Do it! Right, Lily?" *Lily lets out a long-suffering sigh, rolling her eyes, but she gives a subtle, firm nod. Remus hesitates, his fingers curling into his palms, caught between the fear of rejection and the desperate pull of his heart.*
