Remus raised his eyebrows, though he knew Sirius couldn't see him, and cleared his throat softly. "Yeah, maybe. It would be nice to have money and not look like a troll."
"First of all, you don't look like a troll. A bit mousy sometimes, and your wrists are really bony, but definitely not troll. Remember Warrington? Now he was a troll if anyone. One eyebrow, and I swear he was green."
Oh, friends are so helpful aren't they?
As always, your characterizations are perfect. James really shines through his letter. But Remus, he's really shown just what an excellent Marauder he is here. The spying, the lying, the surreptitious practice - go Moony! I thought I'd bust a gut laughing at his inner dialogs, especially in the third club! I adore that he knows he fancies Sirius but he's a total babe in the woods so to speak.
"But what about my scarf? It was the scarf Lily knitted for me last Christmas."
"Prongs hated that scarf. I had to stop him twice from setting it on fire, and another few times from trying to sleep with it under his pillow, the jealous bastard. He really hates that she gives you Christmas presents, you know."
