‘ professor snape ’ he adds pointedly. harry doesn’t mind being a smart ass when it suits him, and right now it suits him fine. ‘ –now that i know you’re not doing anything important, i was wondering if you might tell me more about my parents. if you felt like it. ’
all remus has for that response, however true it might be, is a pinched expression which verges, almost, on amused. it doesn’t last, though that’s not out of any ill will. he watches harry for a moment and thinks about being in this classroom under entirely different circumstances, a student not a teacher, with friends, with the whole world ahead of him. harry’s like that, too, though he thinks with a weight on his shoulders, a different weight to remus’ own, but heavy nonetheless.
‘ — what would you like to know? ’
