Re: DINNER
Remus' eyes widened as he felt Sirius gripping his hand tightly beneath the table. He squeezed back, wanting to make sure he knew he would be a constant presence and pillar of support, but he really felt uncomfortable and just wanted to go home. This had been a terrible idea and more than anything they needed to just get out of there. For Sirius' sake, and for the sake of everyone else.
For a moment, he let his gaze settle on Sirius' younger brother Regulus. He looked just as miserable behind a mask of civility. He briefly wondered if Regulus hated him and James. His attention returned to Sirius a moment later, when he was addressed directly and put on the spot.
His ears burned, and he chewed the inside of his cheek for a second before answering. "Very festive," he said quietly, hoping no one heard.
