Re: Marlene/Remus
"Oh Merlin and Morgana," she said, stepping in and hugging him. She rushed back, grinning. "I'm so sorry, but love, I've never seen you like this. You're smiling and laughing and it has nothing to do with your friends. Do you know how rare that is? I'm so happy for you, for both of you. He's rather like you. I know not a Gryffindor, a werewolf, spoilt brat, a Black, blah, blah, but when you look into his eyes, he's like you. You're both old souls, mature beyond your years."
Marlene laughed. "That's all right. We'll never have to find out if he cares, because I don't plan to get naked in front of him. I was trying to make him feel welcome past Severus and Sirius. Even without knowing you, I knew that getting naked would not have helped. I know we will never agree about what the Order is, but when I see boys, and he is a boy, I can't help but try to make things a little easier for them. Call it the curse of being an older sister."
She raised an eyebrow. "Will you? Do you have anything in mind? And can I help you with it?" she asked. "You know if you need anything, I'm all yours."
