I had a most interesting luncheon yesterday. Remus Lupin invited me out to what I had thought was a meeting prefects. In actuality, it was all a ruse to get me to have lunch with him. Which is sort of sweet and endearing the more I think about it. Granted, that's not a way a gentlemen normally goes about catching my eye but it certainly was strange

Private to Emmeline

I'm sorry I was such a prat about it all.

Private to Remus

[sagaciously]

Apologize accepted. I just hope you won't continue to be this nervous all the time.

Now that I know that you're not going to laugh in my face, I won't be.

Private to Remus

[sagaciously]

You must have me mistaken for someone else. I don't laugh in anyone's face. They're backs may be a different story. Are you sure you have the right Emmeline?

[grimlyamusing]

Hm, I suppose interesting is a promising word. Glad to hear you didn't curse my mate's head off. Would've had to hurt you if you'd done that, and I never like to hurt a lady...

[sagaciously]

Cursing him would have been most inappropriate in such a nice establishment. And it really wasn't something that merited that. Water throwing on the other hand...

Your loyalty to your friend is most admirable, and so are your manners. Although I have noticed that you never like to hurt a lady. Then I take it, you're not above hurting one at all?

[grimlyamusing]

Well, in most cases, ladies don't deserve to be hurt at all. (There are names for the types of women who do, but I won't mention any of them.) Occasionally, however, there are circumstances in which hurting one is acceptable and probably even advisable, that arise without compromising the honour of the woman as a lady. Cursing or hexing Remus would have been within your rights, I'd imagine, but would have constituted one of those instances.

[sagaciously]

Well, that's some relief I guess. I suppose there are exceptoins to every rule then.
