Current mood: worried

I've just returned from a visit with Remus at his room at The Leaky Cauldron and I am ever so concerned about him. Not only did he not touch any of the top shelf vodka that I had brought for him to consume (although I did insist on leaving it with him in case he felt so inclined later on to partake of it), but he looked positively bedraggled! Unshaven, unkept. . .why, I have never in all my life seen the man to be in such a state! At times detached and at others shaky or, dare I say, bitter, Remus and I did converse at length. I am quite sure that he did not confide everything he is going through right now but he did share a little. What he left unsaid I did not follow up on as he shall tell me when he is ready to speak the words.

Remus and I have much in common and it is no stretch of the imagination to say that our relationships with the men in our lives are quite similiar. I had a very strong sense of deja vu whilst speaking with Remus and I did urge him to take the time for himself as I did and live life for himself for a while.

I shall send him an owl after tea to see how he is doing.

Remus, my offer still stands.

I am sorry that I was not more gracious a host, Narcissa. I am not myself these days.

Thank you for your visit and your advice. We will speak again soon.

You do not have to apologize to me, Remus. Ever. You are not yourself with good reason. It will pass. It is just going to take some time.

Please do not hesitate to owl me for anything.
