They spent the next half hour happily recounting their favorite childhood memories. Remus and his cousins truly did sound feral. His entire family spent each summer at the cottage, sharing bedrooms and sprawling on couches and mattresses on the floor. All the kids would spend entire weeks camping rough in the woods and on the beach, starting fires, building forts, drinking from streams, splashing through tidepools, digging for clams and cooking them in coal pits, right in the sand. It was clear where Teddy got his wild, joyful freedom.
