Minerva seethed with a visible fury and moved to get away from Sirius's grip, but
he took that moment to dip her low to the ground, grinning when everyone around them
cheered, no one louder than Remus and Mia from the head table.
"Come on," Mia demanded.
"Come where?" Remus inquired, following her as she tugged at his hand.
"You, come dance with me."
"Mia," Remus whinged.
"Aww, you're cute. You thought that was a request."
She pulled him onto the dance floor, wrapping her arms around his neck and smiling
when his hands settled on her waist. "You're smiling already."
"Well, I happen to be dancing with the second prettiest witch at this wedding,"
Remus said, glancing to the right where Sirius was trying to get Professor McGonagall to
twirl. Everyone stopped to watch, laughing when, after she outright refused, Sirius stopped
and twirled in a circle in her stead.
Mia sighed happily, pressing her cheek against Remus's chest. "This is a good day.
I'm going to remember this forever. Jamie and Lily, just like that," she said, gesturing to
the couple in the corner of the room snuggled up together as they danced slowly, wrapped
in one another's embrace.
"They sure do set a high standard."
"May I cut in?" Sirius asked as he appeared beside them, hand extended outward.
"Be my guest," Remus replied as he stepped back. Though, instead of gripping Mia's
hand, Sirius grabbed Remus and pulled him further onto the dance floor.
Mia threw her head back and laughed loudly. Sirius entertained the crowd by
dancing close to Remus, laying his head on the other man's chest, while Remus struggled
to get out of Sirius's tight embrace.
Before she had a chance to return to the table, a large pair of hands gripped Mia's
waist from behind, lifted her up, spun her mid-air, and caught her when she came down.
"Jamie!" Mia shrieked. "You're rotten."
"What?" James feigned innocence. "Can't a groom dance with his little sister at his
own wedding?"
Mia smiled at him, previous annoyance forgotten at the look of joy on his face. "I'm
so happy for you, Jamie."
