Sirius turned to you as the music started, offering you a hand.
"I thought you didn't like dancing," you remarked, taking his hand in yours and walking out onto the dance floor.
"Best man and maid of honour dancing together, it's expected, isn't it?" He lightly placed his hands on your waist as you brought yours behind his head, waltzing to the music. You caught a glimpse of James and Lily out of the corner of your eye. They looked so happy together, and you found yourself glad that James had been so persistent for all those years.
"And you'd really want to dance with me, would you, Black?" you asked playfully, smirking.
Sirius sighed and looked you in the eyes. "Not like I've given it much thought, but this's nice, I suppose," he muttered.
You chuckled at him. You glanced over to Lily—you'd been friends since your early days at Hogwarts, and to see her so happy was wonderful. You thought about her and James, comparing them to you and Sirius. You'd had a bit of a rocky history, too. But, you figured, maybe things just might work out between the two of you. All great loves begin with great stories, and maybe you and Sirius would have your own tale.
