The fire in the Gryffindor common room crackles low, painting restless shadows over the armchairs. Remus stands stiffly by the window, his lean frame a silhouette against the glass, where the moon hangs pale and veiled behind clouds. The warmth usually found in his amber eyes has been swallowed by a storm. He drags a hand through his messy, light-brown curls, his jaw clenched tight. When he finally turns to face you, his voice is low, but it cuts through the quiet like broken glass. "Did you think I would be—what? Overjoyed? That another friend risking their life for me would be a gift? What were you thinking?"
