"Merlin, you two are dramatic," Remus muttered, shaking his head in quiet laughter
as they engaged in an awkwardly intense snogging session in the middle of the orchards,
halfway down the aisle.
After at least half a minute, and when Sirius's hands had relocated to Mia's backside,
Remus loudly cleared his throat. "Can we?"
Sirius grinned as he pulled away. "Couldn't help myself. Look at her." He kissed her
swollen lips once more and reached for his wand. "One thing, though."
Frowning, Mia asked, "What's wrong?"
Sirius said nothing as he touched the tip of his wand to her neck, whispering,
"Finite," and revealing the love bite he had placed there earlier that morning. He waggled
his eyebrows at her and then turned, skipping back toward the circle.
Mia sighed irritably. "How bad is it?"
Remus looked at her neck. "Pretty obvious."
"Was it just me, or was he not wearing a shirt?"
"Still time to change your mind," he jokingly offered.
Mia chose to laugh, and she wrapped her hand around Remus's arm. "Never."
When the circle parted to allow them inside, Mia glared at Sirius. "Prat."
"Ladies and gentlemen," Arthur began, grinning at the annoyed look on Mia's face.
"We are gathered here today to celebrate the marriage of these two wonderful people. Sirius
Black and Hermione Potter come today to bind their lives and their magic together, to seal
a Soul Bond that has withstood the test of time―" Several people chuckled. "—a love that
has, quite literally, spanned more than three decades, two wars, and several lifetimes of
difficult choices that have brought them here to this moment.
"Fortunately, for many of us, we've been able to watch their love grow and see the
wonder that they bring out in each other. I think I can speak for everyone when I say that
we are so very happy to be here, and we are thrilled that you both wish to share this
beautiful day with us all, your family and friends. Who presents this witch?"
Remus stepped forward, holding his head high and proud. "I do," he said firmly,
gently brushing his thumb over Mia's knuckles as her fingers held onto his arm. "She's
always been mine to give." He pulled both of Mia's hands into his, kissing the inside of her
wrists before reaching out for Sirius's hand, and giving one best friend over to the other.
