Very cute! I do like the idea that Remus has the perfect excuse to let girls down easy.

It had to be something tragic and dramatic, otherwise she wouldn't have bought it. :-D Thanks for the comment!

*chuckle* Poor Sybill doesn't really stand a chance, does she? Lovely little snippet! :-)

I love that Remus lets Sibyll down so very gently - he's a true gentleman.

I'd started with a different idea, but I didn't want Trelawney jerked around, so I made sure that she came out okay. It was hard coming up with something she might buy, though. :-)

Glad you liked it, and yes, Remus is a true gentleman. Maybe the only one in the books except for Dumbledore. :-)
