As soon as James and Remus had parted ways at the reception, he’d spotted Doe just across the room form him. Once laying eyes on her, Remus felt a sting of guilt for how long it had been since they’d seen one another. Yes, he made sure to send letters keeping her up to date with life but owls only traveled so fast and nothing compared to sitting down one on one with her. He didn’t think about anyone else as he made his way across the room towards one of his closest friends. No, Dorcas was more of a sister to him than a friend. Chosen family is what she was. They might as well have been blood. A thought that made that pang of guilt throb once more.
He slipped through the crowd and hoped that she hadn’t seen him coming. Not before he got behind her and covered her eyes with his hands. “You cannot begin to guess who this is.” Remus told her over the chatter of others. “No way on earth you’ll ever deduce it, Doe. Might as well just give up now.” He went on in a teasing tone, his hands still covering her eyes for a long moment before moving away so she could turn and look at him.
