Big Parade
"Come on, it'll make you feel better!" Lily tugged on Remus' hand, but it was as if his feet were glued to the ground on which they stood.
The small town of Cokeworth in which Lily resided was holding a fair in the local park. People had come from neighbouring villages to join in on the fun, and Lily had invited Remus. He had been feeling down lately, and she thought this would cheer him up.
"There'll be a big parade in the middle of the day," she tried.
Remus hesitated.
"Come on, what are you afraid of?"
Before he could even open his mouth to answer her question, she was continuing.
"They're all Muggles here. They won't even know. Come on." She tugged his hand again, this time managing to get him to take a few steps forward. It was always difficult with Remus leading up to the full moon.
Lily grinned. "I'll win you a big teddy bear!" she exclaimed. "It'll be all yours."
That statement finally got Remus' lips to curve into a smile. "A bear," he mused. "Interesting…."
"You want something else?" Lily questioned.
Remus pretended to think, and then returned her smile. "I can think of one thing better than a big teddy bear," he said.
"What?" Lily asked.
He took her hand, this time being the one to take initiative to go. "You'll just have to wait for the parade," he told her as he dragged her towards the park.
