"You've changed."
"What do you mean I've changed?"
"You're different. You aren't Lily, not anymore."
"Bloody hell, Remus! What are you on about now?"
"You aren't… you. You aren't wild and aren't crazy and look, you're socks match."
"I'm still me. I'm still wild and odd and I still like you to pour my pumpkin juice at every meal."
"You're growing up, Lily. Fifteen and beautiful."
"Shut up! Shut up right now. I am not growing up. I'm not getting old. You get old. I don't."
"I'm already old."
"So old, so sad."
"Tragic, too, right?"
Giggling
"Yes, Remus. You are so very tragic."
"And there's nothing like a good tragedy?"
"Nothing in this world."
"I feel like I haven't seen you in days."
"Only two."
"We used to not go two hours without seeing each other."
"It's Amos's fault. Yell at him for monopolizing my time."
"Diggory's a prat. I don't see why you waste your time."
"It doesn't matter what you see or not. It matters what I see."
"And what do you see besides a head full of hot air."
"Amos is very smart, you know. On track to be head Boy."
"If he can beat James."
"James will never be head boy."
"Why not?"
"Puhlease, Remus! You know perfectly well why not. James is James. James isn't Head Boy material he's too… wild."
"Like you?"
"In a very different sense."
"How?"
"James he's wild like…like 'I want to conquer the world nothing can hold me back' wild. Me, I'm a free spirit just dancing to the beat of the drum, flying in the wind."
"You're both crazy."
"Yes, but he's insane crazy. Barking mad, that one. I'm cute crazy."
"You're meant for each other."
"Don't say that. I hate it when you say that!"
"Why? It's true."
"It makes me feel… it makes me feel as if you want me to be with James. As if you're trying to be rid of me. Well, I have news for you, Remus. James isn't who I want."
"Not yet."
"Not ever." "Why Remus? Why do you always go out of you're way to make me feel so… inconsequential."
"Because! Because everyday I have this bomb ticking over my head just waiting to blow up in my face. Because James is your destiny, no matter what you think, and because I'm just waiting for the moment for you to leave me for my best friend."
"I don't want James. I want you. And Amos, but that's only a fling."
"A fling?"
"Yeah, he's a player, you know. I don't like playing the game."
"Why are you with him anyway?"
"He makes me laugh."
"I make you laugh."
"But, he doesn't make me want to cry. Everybody needs a break, you know."
"A break from what?"
"From tragedy. Everybody needs a few days immersed in romance and fluff and than… than I can go back to my tragic lover and dramatic life with a smile feeling content."
"I never get a break from tragedy. I eat and sleep and breathe tragedy."
"I know."
"I miss you. Every day, I miss you."
"I miss you, too."
"Remember third year?"
"If you bring up that time I kissed James…"
"No, although it was funny, I think it was the best year of my life."
"You don't like this year?"
"No."
"Why not?"
"Because I spend all my time missing you because you aren't around or missing you because you are around."
"That doesn't make sense, Remus."
"It used to make sense."
"Why doesn't it anymore?"
"Because I've stopped growing down and you've started growing up."
"I'll never grow up, Remus. I'll be like Peter Pan and fly away from reality."
"Peter who?"
"Doesn't matter. All that matters is that, that will be the escape we've been looking for since last year."
"We can't really escape reality, you know."
"If you believe in it enough, you can do anything."
"I don't know how to believe."
"I know."
"You once promised to teach me."
"I know. I'm sorry."
"Why?"
"Because I couldn't give you faith. Because I've become such a bad friend."
"You haven't. We've just…"
"Drifted apart?"
"Yeah"
"I don't want to be apart from you, Remus."
"Why?"
"I'll miss you too much."
"I miss you right now."
"I'm here right in front of you this very moment."
"But I still miss you."
"Is this about Amos?"
"No, not really."
"I'm sorry if it is."
"When will you dump him?"
"As soon as I catch him snogging Catherine behind my back."
"He's two timing you?"
"Yeah, tragic, isn't it?"
"I would say so."
"When did this happen, Remus?"
"What?"
"When did our time together become so morbid, so… depressing?"
"You changed."
"You still love me, though, right?"
"You know I do."
