The next couple of months were busy ones for Harry and the others, between class work and Quidditch, and weekly visits with Remus, who, after the awkward initial meeting, loosened up quite a bit, telling Harry several stories about his parents, as well as about the other members of the Marauders. Remus even told him the origins of their Marauder names. There was a noticeable sadness when Remus talked about his former brothers, and, any time that Harry tried to move the conversation to Sirius, he changed the subject. Remus, did however, prove Professor Dumbledore right, he howled with laughter at the prank they pulled on Snape, saying that James would have loved it, considering how much he and Sirius hated Snivilus.
