"I'll give you that, and he's certainly not interested in money and how famous your family is, but still-" Peter laughed. "I do know people in important places now." He knew that the second part would be a tough sell. "You know that if we say anything, they'll tell us that it's irrelevant, because we're never going to try it, so what's the use. I think we can go with the first and sometimes you clear your mind, you just think of other types of magic," he said with a grin. "Yes, I heard tidbits about men having children and I don't think they meant surrogacy. I think this was a lot more intrusive and maybe more forced. Were they actually trying to reproduce people? I mean that might solve the problem with people not wanting to deal with children, especially if you could reproduce someone at age eleven, send it off to Hogwarts and then they are grown people." It sounded like something out of a Muggle sci-fi novel, but at this point, he wouldn't put it past them.
"And that's why we need the Department of Mystery again. Or whatever they want to call it. The name isn't as important as figuring things out." He thought about what Remus was saying. "Then again we had people like Cassandra, Glenda, and Cho who weren't related. I think we need to look at everything instead of trying to make the facts fit what we think. I do agree that there's some kind of design, even if it's one that doesn't make sense for us."
Peter smiled at Remus. "Same here. I told you that I'm putting you first, although if we find our perfect soulmate, then it's okay to put that other person first, although-" Merlin this would not end well. "You just compared Regulus with Cassandra. Do you want it to be more than friends? The reason I'm asking is not that I mind, but-" He rubbed his face with his hands. "Okay, so you know I talked to Sirius a while ago, right? Besides the fact that he said we shouldn't have the Marauders anymore, so I'm not sure we can make a new generation, he's sort- He's convinced himself that he's in love with you and James," he said with a sigh. "I don't think he is, with either one. I think he's so afraid of losing you that he reacts in a typical Sirius way, but if you start seeing his brother, you can see how that might be a problem, yes?"
