I told Professor Dumbledore what I did now that I'm back at school. The one in my time, I mean. I told him what I did, why I did it and that I would be handing in my Prefect badge. I know acted rashly and childishly, and... I won't be surprised if Potter never wants to speak to me again. I told Professor Dumbledore I don't deserve to be a Prefect anymore because I sunk down to Potter's level, and maybe even a bit further than that. I turned into a bully, like the students I stand up to on the behalf of those who get pushed around, simple as that.

And he made me keep my badge. He told me that it was a human reaction and even the best of wizards have acted on their tempers. It was strange, but before I left he said something about "sadness flying away on the wings of time" and not forcing forgiveness. ...Bit odd, that. I don't see why I would force him to forgive me....

When you see this, can you meet me outside the History of Magic classroom? I have something to talk to you about and it's very important.

I should have known they would have figured it out before me. As much as I loathe to admit it, they're all smart and they do spend more time with you, having you in their dormitory for five years. [She notices that and only gives him a questioning look, but doesn't inquire further.]

[Remus pulls back, having collected himself enough to be embarrassed, but still grateful that she had hugged him nonetheless. He's going to have to go and tell Sirius about this, though, after he's done here. Possibly get some quality cuddling time with him as well] ...I'm sorry. That I overreacted. It's just. [He sighs] No one's supposed to find out about this. I... I must not be being careful enough...
