Remus Lupin

Well, that's just what I was saying last night.

Before Harry - when he convinced me to let him go ahead with his plan, we talked about the risks that James and I took during our first go-round with Voldemort. And yes, we were young then, too, but at least at first, we didn't have children to take care of.

Now it's bordering on ridiculous. We're the ones who're meant to be protecting them, not putting them on the line. It was different before, when we couldn't work openly, and they were the only ones in position to make an impact. But now - there's no reason for it.

I want to talk to Alice and Rachel about moving every Auror under 21 into a reserve status. Let those of us who are already long in the tooth assume the risks for a change.

As for Bella ... I don't know. We thought that would be true of Voldemort, and it wasn't. But then again, if she goes, who's left who can organise them all? Dolohov? He's got the charisma, to be certain. Rod won't lift a finger without someone forcing him to do it. He'd rather retreat, and besides he's about to be a father again. He won't put himself in danger when there's no need. Rowle's a puppet. Travers is not leader material. So. Maybe.

What about - I mean to say. Usually we stay in on the full moon. But if you take Wolfbane there's really no reason to hide, is there?

Werewolves of London? Great single.
