Remus was alive because of Neville.

Neville, who had wept into his pillow when Remus resigned from Hogwarts. Who had got blind drunk on the day of Remus' wedding. Who had thrown himself across Remus' body, wailing in abject grief – and had thus discerned a faint, erratic heartbeat.

"How can I repay you?" Remus asked.

Neville shook his head. "Just be happy. That's all I've ever wanted for you."

The warm, unexpected press of Remus' lips against his made his heart leap.

"I want you to be happy too."

"I am now," Neville whispered, parting his lips for another kiss.
