every good gold-digger's gonna wind up there.
I don't want to be listening to Nickelback. My boss is playing it on her computer. Gah.
Because I love her, I finished tangleofthorns's request.
pants on fire:
1. later, he is forgiven
At the end of his first year, he says earnestly to James, "I'm not a werewolf."
James furrows his brow and stares into Remus's eyes. Remus stares back and doesn't even think about trying to look like he's not lying.
"Okay then," James says. Sirius grins and slaps Remus's back.
2. he deserved it anyway
In the headmaster's office, he stands with his hands behind his back. His fingers aren't crossed. He doesn't look at Snape, dripping yellow and glaring acid-tipped daggers. "I don't know who did it," he tells Dumbledore.
3. a small, white one
In his office at Hogwarts, he tells Harry that he has never been in love.
4. in the spare room, a hippogriff sleeps
Outside his flat in Waltham, he tells the Aurors he hasn't seen Sirius Black since the Potters died. Inside, a black dog is sitting beside his chair.
5. another small, white one
There is a little girl in Lithuania, her hair in two long braids over her shoulders, her wand broken in three places. Her knuckles are white around what's left of the handle. Sirius comes up to where Remus is sitting with her at the roadside and tells them her parents are dead. The girl doesn't speak English, but she knows because she saw the Death Eaters come up the road. She shudders, her breath hitches and Remus puts his arm around her back. "You're safe," he tells her.

I don't know Remus very well at all, I'm afraid.
Bye.
