A solemn occasion
Horace's boyfriend Elphias is helping him put his tie on for Albus' funeral.
Horace asked, "Are you almost done, my dear Elphias?"
Elphias stepped back and smiled. "There you go, Horace. You look very dashing."
Horace sighed. "It's such a shame that the first social event we're attending together is the funeral of our very dear friend."
Elphias frowned. "Indeed, but remember the toast that brought us together."
Horace said, "I will never forget it, my dear Elphias."
Elphias stated, "He would have been glad to see us together at last."
Horace agreed, "Indeed, he would be. The old boy would be delighted."
Elphias let a single tear roll down his cheek and suggested, "Let's go do this thing together."
He held his hand out.
Horace took his hand and promised, "From now on, we will do everything together."
