AFTER 8 PM
Remus tried to listen to Lily, and wanted to believe all of the things she was saying. She made some good points, really, but that didn't make it hurt any less. His heart was broken, and truthfully he wasn't sure there was anything that could be done to repair it at this point. Time was said to heal all wounds, but he didn't think there were enough years left in his life for his heart to truly mend itself.
He was grateful for her compassion. Lily was truly a special girl, and her friendship meant a great deal to him. It made him feel guilty, though, for having to keep secrets from her about himself. He couldn't dwell on that right now, though, for he felt enough sorrow as it was over this whole situation with Sirius.
Remus shook his head slowly when she asked about getting him something warmt to drink. Hot chocolate could cure a lot of ailments as far as Remus was concerned, but he didn't think even that would properly remedy his broken heart. "I think I'm just going to go to bed," he said. "But please, let me walk you back to the dance."
