Re: Harry and Remus
"You might be," Remus chuckled. "But, that was my condition for attending -- not that I was given much of an argument. My own preferences are decidedly not on the level with his," he added fondly. To Remus it was just clothes. If his dressing a certain way made Regulus happy, it was a small thing for Remus to do.
He smiled as he followed Harry's gaze to where Ginny stood. Adoration was clear in his friend's eyes.
Harry had mentioned previously not being happy with Severus, but had not explained why. Had the relationship been what he'd meant? Remus had known for months, of course, ever since James had said something about it when Al and Severus first began seeing each other shortly after Regulus chose Remus. It hadn't crossed his mind to see anything wrong with it.
"Well," he replied slowly, thinking out his response, "I can't speak for half one's age. But, technically there are at least ten between myself and that previously mentioned certain someone, which at our age isn't far off the mark for half one's age." And thank gods Regulus was of age at least or Remus would feel like a cradle robber in truth! But, Regulus wasn't your average teenager, either. "Age isn't really a factor in these things when other things, like intellect or interests, emotional involvement, are equal."
