RP: Hey Soul Sister Date: July 10, 2000 Characters: Lily Evans and Remus Lupin Location: Brighid's Books Public/Private: Private Summary: Remus and Lily try to talk again after their major row a few days ago. Status: Incomplete
It had been a long and god-awful week, as far was Remus was concerned. He was sure it was going to improve either. He'd been in a fight with Lily, which had made things tense ever since. He should probably try and make up, but he wasn't sure he had anything to say. James was an arsehole who was already trying to control her, and all signs were she thought that was fantastic. He wasn't sorry that he felt those were bad ideas. She, of course, would be livid with him for daring to hit James... which had been unfortunate, and not as fruitful as he had hoped. He'd gained little for his efforts, and Lily was likely to read him the riot act.
Lily's words had hurt, a lot, dismissing hundreds of lives saved and lost over the years... because it wasn't fast enough? Remus was the first to admit there were issues, but they did good work damn it. They did get things done. It was worth it. But just telling himself that didn't help much. He stayed busy at work, doing inventory, finding reasons to keep directly out of Lily's path. The show was once again closed, though this time, Remus was tucked away in his office counting the till to prepare it for the next day.
