"But I'm not dismissing it, I'm just saying that it's not a defining quality. It can be a part of who you are, without being you. You're not a werewolf, just like you aren't a Gryffindor. Those are parts of who you are, but in the end, you are Remus Lupin, a wonderful, modest, brave, loyal, reserved, shy, prudish, smart, cautious, aloof, secretive, friendly, caring, angry, loving wizard. The fact that some of those qualities are in contrast with each other only makes you more interesting," she said, smiling.
Marlene chuckled. "I'm not your casual observer. I find out a lot of truths that I shouldn't know just by paying attention. However, if you like the questions, then questions you'll get, but be warned, if you start getting too esoteric in your explanations, I will stop you." She reached over and squeezed his hand. "This is very interesting, love, but I need you to get Stephen for me, or Alastor and tell him to get Stephen. The wounds are pulling more now so unless you want me to bleed out on you, getting Stephen is more important."
