Remus Lupin was one of those people who could not sleep past a certain time in the morning, despite only getting to bed a short time before. Today was no exception. He had gotten off work at 6:30AM and was up by 8:30. He wasn't too pleased by this but it was how he worked. He had done fixing up around his home and figured it was time he bought food.

He headed into town and was lingering at the fruit stand.

"No. It's really a shame you didn't get here this past weekend. You could've seen how normal everything is here. There was a festival - Quidditch games, volleyball, chess. It was a fun time. It seems overwhelming now, but it'll ebb."

Remus didn't know how to approach the topic of Lily and James. "Yes. that Lily. She was pulled from 1980. James is here as well. This pull has been a wonderful thing for a lot of people. It's giving a lot of people a second chance. James and Lily have a chance to see the rest of their lives." Not to mention Remus and Tonks and several others as well. That was for later, though. "Plus, we don't have to worry about Voldemort here."

"That sounds about right for my luck," she joked weakly. Even games and a festival wouldn't have made much of a difference as far as her ability to believe this was all real went. Or at least she thought so. "You said you've been here a month? Is it the norm for you now?"

It made sense. People who'd died before their times - people like Lily and James and Tonks, she realised. It was a second chance, in a way, brutal as this all was to take in. Yes, she'd lost three years in her own time, but she'd gained countless here.

"No You-Know-Who is definitely good news," she said, taking another sip of water. "I just..." She paused again, and finally she looked at him properly, her eyes locking with his. "How did you die? Do you know?"
