hc that euphemia and fleamont get very sick and it gets to the point where they've only got a few hours left and all the marauders are going in one at a time to say goodbye (bc they were parents to all of them), when sirius comes in. he sits next to the bed, and starts talking about he's going to miss them a lot, etc etc, and then this:
------
"I'm going to propose to Remus tomorrow."
Euphemia smiles, patting his hand. "You are?"
He smiles sadly. "Yeah. I wish you could be there. And at the wedding, if that happens."
She smiles. "He'll say yes."
"He will?"
"Of course he will. He loves you more than anything."
They hug for a long time, Sirius leaning over the bed. He turns to Fleamont next.
"Thank you."
"For what, my boy?"
"Being my Dad."
They hug as well, and it all gets very teary and emotional. Eventually Sirius has to leave, to let the others in.
"Well," he says, sniffing. "I guess this is it. Goodbye. I love you so much, thank you."
They both return the sentiment, Euphemia giving a faint wave with her fingers, Fleamont wiping tears from the corner of his eyes. Sirius inhales deeply, before stepping out of the room, to where the others are. He nods to Remus, who is comforting James, signalling that it's his turn. Remus rubs James' back as he leaves their group, and James turns to sob on Sirius' shoulder.
Inside, Remus is speaking to both the Potters. "I wanted to ask you one last thing, if you'll allow me."
Fleamont tilts his head. "Of course, what's on your mind?"
"I wanted to ask for your blessing."
Euphemia's face splits into a grin as he asks.
"Tomorrow I would like to propose to Sirius, but I wanted to ask your permission first."
"Of course, dear boy." Fleamont beckons him forward. Remus bends down to hug him, before hugging Euphemia too, at her request.
He exhales long and low. "Thank you. I don't know what I would have done if I hadn't asked you."
They exchange final goodbyes and Remus leaves the room, allowing James to step in. Sirius looks at him.
"Go okay?"
"...Yeah. Depressing, as expected, but also freeing."
"Yeah."
They stand in silence for a while before deciding to sit against the wall opposite the wall of the bedroom, waiting for James. Neither of them speak, simply absorbing the magnitude of the situation.
