"Thank you, for understanding." Lily whispered, knowing that if anyone could help her make sense of this line of thought it was Remus. She was glad she brought it up, she had some finality-- she had an answer-- she knew what she had to do. She'd write to Severus, and she'd meet with him. Perhaps it's what they both needed, to set things right.
"How do you move on from something so huge? It defined everyone of us, we lost friends and family. I think of what could've happened if even the slightest thing had fallen out of our favor. It terrifies me, Remus. We'd all be dead. We were lucky." she whispered, shaking her head. "We weren't 'heroes' because it was glamorous. Our way of life was threatened." she whispered.
