"Verity," Remus said, glad for the reminder. He was pleased to hear that she thought he was one of the best teachers she had, and smiled modestly. He did miss it, teaching. Quite a lot. "Thank you. And being polite is hardly a bad habit."
He nodded, glad to hear that she was having fun. "It's nice to enjoy your work."
Verity's apparent shock over him calling the young girl hers made him wince. "I'm sorry," he said quickly. "It was the hair. I wasn't sure..." He let his voice drift off and gave her an apologetic look. "So you're nanny for the day. I don't know whether it would be fortunate or harrowing to bring her here, but I suspect it might be the latter."
