Re: Remus - Sirius
Remus rolled his eyes at Sirius. "If I can show up at his residence unannounced and come away unhexed, I'm sure he can manage to refrain from hexing you in your own home -- which, by the way, I shouldn't have to hear of from your brother. Moving in with James and not telling me," he teased.
Sirius' reaction was baffling, if Remus was honest. None of them were the same people they'd been before. Was it really that earth-shattering for he and Regulus to be able to converse pleasantly? All right, so they had practically nothing in common on the surface. But that was true of Remus and many of his friends. "Yes," he said slowly. "I like him. I tend to like people I can have an intelligent conversation with.
"Good," Remus said with a smile. "Don't let him think that. I'd hate to see you two miss out on your second chance," he added with unvarnished sincerity.
