Peter grinned when he found the note, and read it quickly, careful not to let anyone else see. It was like being back in fifth year again, passing notes during History of Magic to keep from falling asleep.
Remus,
Marlene's gift has to be something else. She owled wanting to know your reaction, the tricky minx. I think we should cook up something extremely special for her. I don't think I've seen you turn that shade of red, well, ever.
You're welcome for the book. I have a copy for myself as well, but I thought you'd find it useful.
Regards, Peter
He used the same charm to send the note back to Remus, feeling more hopeful than he had before.
