Al was just about to ooze under the table as the focus of over two-hundred people - but especially Mum and Dad - turned on him. He seriously considered countering Jamie's Sonorus with 'No hugs please, still sore from last night," which was technically - sorta true.
He stood up and gripped Severus' hand, and peered at the hall filled with people.
He looked down and took off his glasses then - the crowd looked less imposing when Al wasn't looking at it through them, anyway. Al turned to Severus then and, still gripping Severus' hand like a lifeline, planted them on top of Severus' head like a crown.
"We didn't exchange rings," he said in a voice soft even through a cast Sonorus, "I promised him my glasses when we're older."
