A/N: The prompt for this one was the song Feeling Good by Michael Bublé.
Minerva McGonagal had decided that being in charge of Hogwarts also made her something akin to the mayor of Hogsmeade. The impact of her work was most evident in the Hog's Head. Under the witch's patronage the inn had turned from a dingy and unwelcoming place to a successful business.
Live music had become common on Friday nights, and Remus was a regular. He would occasionally bring his acoustic guitar along and play a song or two at the crowd's insistence, usually in accompaniment to travelling minstrels and the like. Sirius, who had given up on music as soon as he'd discovered that playing an instrument required actual effort, rarely came along.
'Good evening, ladies and gentlemen,' Aberforth greeted one Friday night. 'Tonight we are in for a treat! Our very own Remus Lupin has a new song he'd like to share with us.'
There was a round of applause, and someone at the back shouted a question, 'Who's singing?'
'Remus himself, believe it or not,' Aberforth answered and stepped away in order to give the floor to the werewolf.
'Hello, everyone. For those of you who don't know me, I'm Remus. It's been awhile since I've written anything, but my partner and I recently purchased a house in Hogsmeade. We moved in last week and the song more or less popped into my head. Anyway, here goes.'
The room went dead quiet as he set on the wooden stool reserved for performers and started playing. His voice was deep, melodic and surprisingly smooth. The song itself wasn't a love song, as many expected, or at least not obviously so. No, it was a song about happiness, about sunny days and peaceful nights.
'It's a new dawn, it's a new day, it's a new life,' Remus sang the last few lines with closed eyes, 'for me. And I'm feeling good.'
The audience's enthusiastic applause only increased when Sirius emerged from behind the counter, where he'd spent a good portion of the evening unobserved. He embraced Remus, ignoring the good-natured teasing of Aberforth and several of the regulars.
'I was wondering,' Sirius whispered timidly in his lover's ear, 'whether you would do me the honour of calling me your husband rather than partner?'
