Remus and I walked hand in hand throughout the mall, gazing through all the shop windows. I tugged on his hand and turned around with a smile on my face hoping to find no resistance. After witnessing a smile equally big as mine, I pulled him further along towards the shop I had in mind. Build-a-bear.

"Rem! We have to get matching bears! Please," I whined out of enthusiasm. To further prove how badly I wanted it, I squeezed his hand real tight.

"Well, what else would we get?" He asked, throwing his arm over my shoulder to continue walking into the store. "But which one is the real question."

My eyes go wide as I search the wall for which one to pick. After coming across a display of the Hogwarts houses, I knew exactly what to get.

"How about the Harry Potter bears?" I said grabbing two of the brown fuzzy bears and handing him one. He agreed, and we both walked to the next station.

While my eyes scan the different options for sounds and my hand's press against the different options, Remus told me I couldn't know what he was putting into his. When he shoved me away and walked to the other side of the stand, I couldn't help but laugh. I peaked my head around, and he aggressively shooed me away with his hand and turned around. Which resulted in an even louder laugh from me, and even a couple turned heads.

I picked out an 'I love you' sound and waited for him to be ready. He jogged up to me with a grin that told me he knew something I didn't. He refused to answer any of my questions on what it was, choosing to stay silent instead.

We reached the spot where we got to press the pedal to stuff our bears. The lady asked us if we wanted a stuffed or cuddly bear, and in unison, Remus and I answered cuddly. We picked out our hearts and did as we were told, we rubbed them on our stomachs, hugged them, and gave them a kiss. Giving them back to be placed inside.

Once we got our bears all stitched up and handed back to us, we headed over to pick out what our bears will wear and dress them up.

"Love, what accessories should we get," Remus asked.

"Um, I think we should just get our house scarves. These can get expensive," I responded simply.

"You're right," he kissed my head and grabbed a scarf for each of our houses.

Remus named his bear Teddy, and I named mine Moony. I dressed Moony in my house's scarf, while Teddy was dressed in a Gryffindor one. We happily walked out of the mall with our hands interlocked and our others holding boxes of bears.

When Remus dropped me off at home he reached into the backseat and gave me my bear. And a quick kiss goodbye. I passed the doorway into my room plopping onto my bed and realized that I had the wrong bear. I quickly got my phone out to text him. He only responded by saying, "Listen to it, it's yours." Which honestly took me a minute to realize he meant the bear.

So I picked it up, pressed the button inside it's right hand, and listened to Remus's voice saying, "I love you, my moon."
