It didn't take long before his smile widened another fraction of an inch.<br/>"Then you haven't been paying attention," he said, almost certain Lily had only recently addressed him by his surname.<br/>Lily, on the other hand, had enough foresight to realize Remus wasn't easily letting Sirius off the hook. Feeling like the most merciful thing to do was to put the man out of his sufferings. Tucking her legs under herself, she poured herself the last half glass of wine left.
