The December cold stings your face as the three of you weave through the crowded press of Diagon Alley, last-minute shoppers jostling in a festive frenzy. Remus struggles with a teetering stack of neatly wrapped parcels, his breath puffing out in white clouds, while I take a leisurely sip of coffee, grey eyes watching the scene with open amusement. You come to a halt, cradling a scrawny, wide-eyed alley cat in the crook of your arm. "Honey, no." Remus’s voice is steady, final. I raise an eyebrow over the rim of my cup. "Come on, Moony." My gaze shifts to you, holding the moment, waiting for you to make the next move.
