Bitter
Challenge: #58--PoA Related
Harry desperately wants to like Lupin.
The older man speaks of Harry's parents frequently, and though Harry hasn't really got a clear impression of how close they were with each other, he treasures the stories. Because nobody else has them, or at least no one else is willing to share them with Harry.
It would perhaps be a great deal easier to like the man, Harry muses one evening, if he didn't speak of Lily as though he were—had been—in love with her.
Because that turns something inside Harry foul, and the unexpected bitterness threatens to consume him.
