Re: Remus
The miss was near, as far as Kingsley was concerned, but it was enough to drag him (at least partially) out of the melange his brain was making of all this chaos. "Wah huh?" he mumbled, shaking his head. This really was no time to be distracted.
Still, some old habits died hard, Kingsley realized as he stopped himself from reaching for his wand.
"All right, Remus," he half-lied. Okay, it was a flat out lie, but it was an attempt to fool himself into believing it. "And if I say that enough times, I might believe it. What about you?"
