Re: Remus/Alphard
Remus intellectually knew he left Tonks behind when he agreed to escort Alphard to the dance. Well, they weren't technically together here, were they? Remus thought he should send her an apology note, but maybe she was out with someone too? For a Gryffindor, he could be a coward. Why hadn't he asked Tonks what they were before agreeing to this date? Yet, Alphard's touch pushed sour thoughts away. Remus smiled as he thought about that blond hair and regal smile. Even if Alphard was on the shorter side, he carried himself in a way that made Remus forget. He was certainly a Black, but also entirely himself.
"Lions and snakes, on my. Opposite and yet seem to have so much more fun together." He slipped his hand to the very bottom of Alphard's back. "Let me show you adventure then, my dear snake."
