Remus joined in with his own quiet laughter. "Because at some point they have to stand on their own and parents never want that to happen as quickly as the children do. You should have heard the row Tad and I had when I told my parents I was moving to a flat in the city with Pads after Hogwarts.

Although, I'm sure you've already heard that from Lily. The students seem excited about it. I just hope it gets enough of them interested in really learning to defend themselves."
Remus grinned. "So, we've discussed the depressing, what was your silver lining for the week? I may have to insist you find one each time we speak, you realise?"
