A flat with Lily was a great idea! They'd share the rent, share the chores, Remus could look after her better, he didn't need to suffer James' wrath for letting her on her own, it would just be like home! But it was an idea Remus was not very enthralled about and it could be seen from the smile that flickered in his face and the hollow way he nodded and said, "That's brilliant." He would love to live with Lily, if only his wolfish nature permitted her safety...
"I had been hearing about the Sterling-Cooper. It's one of those big names," Remus said. "I'm glad you managed to find employment there, if only undeserving of your skills and talent. But it would be enough for until we get back home..."
He paused for a moment. "Actually, I had been thinking about home. It's curious and maybe even ridiculous but..." looking up to face Lily, he asked her, "Do you remember what Dumbledore said? That help will always be given at Hogwarts to those who ask for it?"
