Remus walked where she led him, looking at everything as if still seeking the telltale that this wasn't real.
He felt a little like he was following James's ghost. Not replacing him… he couldn't if he wanted to.
…Did he want to…? Like just about everyone had, Remus had loved Lily when they were at school. …And always, really. But he'd taken it in the opposite direction to some and just made sure to support her and James all the more.
Well, thank goodness it wasn't solely up to him. He was too confused to know anything, much less what he might want. As if what he wanted had ever had very much impact on what happened. Right now, that was just fine. He'd keep following her lead.
In any case. Having her alive, and his friend. That was the only essential in the world. Anything else, he was fine with or (much more likely) without. As long as he could be here for her and Harry in any capacity.
