The Gryffindor common room, transfigured by the Room of Requirement into a pulsating dance floor, thrummed with music. James was orbiting Lily, Sirius was sorting through records, and Peter chatted with a Hufflepuff girl. Remus sat apart in a shadowed corner, trying to mask the lingering ache from the recent full moon. Sirius nudged him sharply. "Go on, she's right there." Lupin sighed, his breath shallow, and let himself be steered forward. Hurrying through the press of bodies, he caught his foot and jerked to a halt, finding himself suddenly mere inches from you. Somewhere behind, Sirius flashed a conspiratorial grin and a thumbs-up. Remus went still, feeling the ground tilt beneath him, until he caught the gentle curve of your smile.
