[But Remus has never, ever been good at this game. He scowls at Sirius.]
Oh, you can just stop right there, because I am in no mood--

That's precisely why, Sirius. Can we please get this over with--
She is, at that. A very good friend, in fact.
Just-- good.
[His ears and cheeks have gone awfully pink.]
Would you just make fun of me already so we can end this?

Really. You think it's well done. Really.
[He hesitates-- and then, as indifferently as he can manage:]
Well-- go on, then.
Well-- go on, then.

[Remus hesitates-- but that's stupid, isn't it? It's not as if they're in first year anymore; Sirius isn't going to laugh at him if he says yes.]
Well-- I mean-- yes. Obviously. Or else I wouldn't be here asking for advice.

[Sagely, he nods.]
Yes. Of course. Obviously. But the first step in this is admitting that you fancy her. If you were still going to pretend as if you were just friends with her, this would all be for nothing--but! You fancy her.
So then you've got to make that clear. Easy.

Oh, yes, really quite easy.
[He gives him as dry a look as he can manage-- and considering it's Remus, that's saying quite a bit.]
I'll just walk up to her and say that I fancy her and I'd quite like to go out with her and oh, yes, just forget about that one time I came over and tried to turn her into a werewolf, we'll try kissing again and it'll be fine.

[He feels a little twinge--part sympathy, part guilt, part something else--but he manages to give Remus a dry look in return (though slightly less so; he has less experience).]
Edit that slightly, Remus, there's a lad. Would you hold off with the sarcastic comments for two second, please! Two seconds.

[He keeps up that flat look.]
It's true. Sarcastic or not, there's no bloody way this is going to work, not least of which because I tried to turn her into a monster! And god knows why she forgave me for it, but-- Merlin, Sirius, that blew that chance.

[Somewhat irritably now, he raises his eyebrows.]
Except it didn't, as she did forgive you--and better than merely forgive, as she's still friends with you. So that's something, that's some interest and that's all you need, now get out of it.

[He scowls at him-- it's not so easy to just get out of it, not even now-- but doesn't keep arguing.]
Well, even if-- if that's true, I can't simply walk up to her and say it. And don't argue, Sirius, because it's nothing to do with lycanthropy and everything to do with personalities. You might be able to, but I'm not-- not built for that.
