“I’ve tried, believe me, but just when I think I’ve guessed it, you do something that throws all my conclusions out of the window.”

She smirks. “It’s called being a woman, Remus.”

*LMAO* I do believe that's one of our specialties... XD

“You’re wrong, you are a Gryffindor,” she says suddenly. “Only a Gryffindor would say “no” on the grounds of social etiquette. You’re saying that it wouldn’t be right for us because we don’t fit society’s notion of a good couple and it would be rude and selfish to take me away from all the young men. I take it back: you are chivalrous. And it’s bloody stupid. This is my choice. You want Hufflepuff common sense? Fine: I like you. You like me. There is nothing stopping us from being together apart from your over-active conscience and your chronic lack of self-esteem, both of which can be overcome if you just let me try. How about that for logical reasoning?” She smiles at him, triumphant. Remus can’t think of anything to say. He shakes his head.

*snicker*

“I'm a Gryffindor, I don't have any sense,” he reminds her.

“Which is another reason why I'm perfect for you,” she says cheekily.

Classic! And utterly true.

I'm in love with this series. It's a perfect blend of everything. =D

Thanks! I think that's like life.

Have you read the 'prequel' to the series, Mentors? I realised yesterday that when I wrote that story (pre-DH) only one of the characters in it was dead; now only one of the characters survives. Damn you, Jo. *cries*

[morrighangw]

I have! I just didn't know how to leave a review for it... I just about died when the twins started bowing down repeatedly in homage and then there were all those other parts that I just loved. ^^

And yes, we must all mourn that only one character in that one survives after DH. *wails*

[sea_thoughts]

*hugs you*

Good to know you loved it, even though reading about all those dead characters will make you depressed. :/ I loved writing the twins' reaction.
