Romulus and River
"Thank you, Romulus," said Lee into the microphone silently nodding in thanks to Lupin who was carefully drinking from a piping hot mug of hot chocolate. "That was very informative. Greyback is one nasty character...This concludes tonight's broadcast of Potterwatch. I'm River. Keep safe everyone and remember Amelia Bones."
Lee switched the magical microphone off and leaned back in his chair, arching his back into a stretch. Fred and George hadn't come back yet from scrounging up supplies. He swiveled around in his chair to face Lupin. "So, how's Tonks?"
"Very well," said Lupin."She's had a strange craving for chocolate of late and I take that as a good sign."
"Know what he or she will be yet?"
Lupin shook his head,"Either way it'll be a pleasant surprise...She does like surprises."
"An excellent surprise," grinned Lee. "Kingsley need us to do anything?"
"You three?Not at the moment," said Lupin quietly. For a moment Lee thought he saw a flicker of discomfort as if his former professor wished the question hadn't been necessary. Lupin continued, "He was very amused about the special on the American holiday of Halloween safety tips. 'Inspect your children's candy-' "
" '-and take the best for yourself. Cite cavity statistics if needed.' Yeah. We thought it would help lighten things up a bit."
