Follow Your Heart, But Take Your Brain With You: 1975 (Dorcas&Remus)

Remus repeated the words in his head as he packed away his books and threw his backpack on. Making a quick change from his uniform and then hurrying across the school so he wouldn’t be late.
Fixing his hair as he took a deep breath and looked around for once particular face. He became incredibly insecure when it felt as though everyone was staring at the panting half dressed nerd. Realising the state of his appearance he tucked in his shirt and straightened his cardigan. Just breathe Remus.
He hadn’t felt this nervous in a long time, the last time was probably the first time he’d transformed while at Hogwarts. Calming himself down as he took a deep breathe and waited. It felt like a few minutes became a lifetime. Today was a big day. He’d thought through every word and practiced them in front of the mirror although he still felt completely helpless.
A grin crossed his face when he spotted her in the crowd and he felt his shoulders loosen and his expression soften. “Hey... you look nice- pretty. Um yeah- you look good” he smiled a little bashfully before rubbing the back of his neck out of a nervous habit. “You ready to go?” he asked. Making a bold move as offered his hand out to her and hoped she’d take it.
