1 " I love you,” Sirius whispered, “I love you so much.” He squeezed his eyes shut, “Don’t worry, you don’t have to say it back.”“Of course I love you, you idiot,” Remus gasped, not sure if he was laughing or crying, “I never stopped. "

2 " Remus tipped his head back and took a deep breath,“CH CH CHANGES! TURN AND FACE THE STRANGE CH CH CHA-ANGES! "
3 " I loved him.” Remus said. “But he wasn’t you. "
4 " I live with Sirius,” Remus said, raising his eyebrows a little bit to see if his old teacher took the hint. But apparently not. Why were grownups always so dense? "
5 " You’ve been fine,” Grant smiled, without a trace of blame. “You’ve been my little bit of magic. "
6 " I’ll keep coming, long as you need me.” He’d say, cheerfully as he flitted about. “Us care home yobs gotta stick together, innit. "
7 " He was right - Grant was generally right about humanity. "
8 " You love him, don’t you?”“I…” Remus felt the familiar panic rising at the sound of that word, but as it was just the two of them, and he felt he owed it to her to be honest, he nodded. “Yes.”“And he loves you.”“I think so. Yes, he does.”“That’s all I need to know, then.” She smiled again. She let out a great sigh, “Love. It’s the only thing you get to take with you, you know. "
9 " He climbed into bed and rolled onto his side, facing the wall, to prove that he couldn’t care less which way Danny ‘swung’. Have you seen my boyfriend?! He wanted to say. As if I’d be interested in you, you big lump. "
10 " Mary came to Remus’s rescue, in the end, as always "
11 " They had all received instructions to start using fake names when out on Order business, in case anyone listened in. Remus wasn’t overly fond of ‘Kevin’, but he had to admit it was probably better than his own ridiculous name. When the marauders first heard about the codenames they’d wanted to use Paul, John, George and Ringo, but Moody told them it was too obvious. "
12 " Yes, Harry, your dad was my best friend, butSirius Black was my everything "
13 " No one owes you a happy life. But you owe yourself one, love "
14 " Not James! He was the very best of them. He was the one who had to make it, no matter what. How could there be a world without James Potter? You might as well picture a world without kindness, or laughter, or mischief. "
15 " But why does it have to be you? Any of you?! Let Dumbledore fight, if he’s so powerful as everyone says. Why does he need kids to help him? "
16 " She could have ripped each of their throats out the night before without stopping for breath. She was a force of nature; queen of the night; she was one of the strongest people he had ever met. She was one of the only people in the world who truly understood what it meant to be a wolf. "
17 " Is Lily ok?” Mary asked.Marlene nodded, “Of course she is. Nothing stops Evans. "
18 " And so, as per usual, it was James and Lily who managed to bring everyone out of that gloomy winter slog, just in time for spring. The marauders and their friends faced the rest of their year with fresh eyes and renewed purpose. Because fighting a war was one thing - but fighting for the Potters’ future child made every challenge seem more worthwhile. "
