It was just that the full moon was falling on the night before a big Transfiguration test,  and Remus knew he couldn’t be in class the next day for the test.   ❝I can work something out with Dumbledore.  It’ll be fine.  You  aren’t  taking the test for me.❞

❝I don’t know exactly what you’re going through.❞   That was true.   The nature of their curses weren’t exactly similar,  other than being entirely out of their control.    ❝But I do know that when I’m sick or going through a rough time,  chocolate always helps.❞  He offered Astoria a large bar of chocolate from Honeydukes.

Eyes flicker across the table and catch Tonks’ gaze,  but quickly breaks the eye contact.   ❝You prefer your tea with sugar?❞   He asked,  gaze still on the table as he smiled.  Two sugar cubes were hovering in the air over-top of her cup of tea.

❝Molly’s rules are Molly’s rules.   And  I’m sorry,  Harry,  but I agree with them.  You should be worried about whether or not you’ve completed your summer assignments,  not all this business with You-Know-Who.   Your too young to be fighting in what I fear may become a  war.❞

❝Ah,  I don’t mind the rain very much.   In fact,  I find it quite  relaxing.   Perhaps a bit  too relaxing  on such a busy day.❞   Remus offered a smile.   With a flick of a wand,  he dried his own robes off.   ❝Would you like me to   . . .   ❞   He gestured gently,  offering to do the same and make them both dry.

❝You mustn’t think of it as merely attacking an opponent.   Deflecting spells is just as important,  if not  more so  than actually using a hex or jinx against someone.❞   Remus explained,  offering a bit of a different insight.   ❝If you’re having trouble with the spells themselves,  deflection is even more important and I think you should focus on that.❞

❝I like your pink hair  --   though I tend to agree with everyone   else when they say it isn’t exactly  discreet  for a mission.❞  Remus explained.  He liked being paired with Tonks for missions with The Order.  She was a refreshing change in pace and she definitely knew what she was doing.
