Remus, Sirius figures, would have heard about everything, and would be able to tell him everything he missed. He would be able to explain what had happened to the Longbottoms—the healers won’t tell him yet, but he thinks he caught sight of Frank while being led to his room—and their son who was Harry’s age, and where was Harry, then, if not with Alice? And besides, even if he didn’t have all the answers, Moony always made everything better, and whenever the healers told him to think of a happy memory instead of the image of James lying dead on the ground, or Harry screaming over his mother’s corpse—well, Sirius just remembers his and Moony’s first kiss, tipsy and elated at James and Lily’s engagement party; or the look of wonder and hope on Moony’s face when they showed him their animagus forms; or the way Moony looked when he was thinking up a clever prank.
