Perhaps I don't want to sit and read with you Remus, you sound as though you frequent seedy places.
[ Which couldn't be further from the truth. If he wanted to spend time in the bottom of a well, Lily would resign herself to having a soggy book. ]

[ Lily reached out and rest her hand on his, considering Remus' face. She had her suspicions, but not enough to speak on just yet. ]
When does Pomfrey say you'll be up and about Remus? I intend to steal you away as soon as you're sprung.
