Remus Lupin

You've left off all the other Players from the 'Absent' list. Dorcas, Emmeline, Benjy, etc.

I didn't say we're going broke. I said we're on a thin margin these days and we need to be careful.

Too right about Terry. He managed it a full two months before I managed it and I got it a month before James could do. Though like Terry, I was pretty much prisoner in Grimmauld that summer. But unlike Terry, for me, there was nothing else to do but to practise.

For the purposes of accurate minutes, Remus, I sneezed.

But you really should call him Grouch.
