Remus gets editing work for UCL and enjoys marking exam papers for local schools while Grant thrives in his social work career. During one of his walks through London museums, Remus bumps into his former Hogwarts classmate Christopher Barley outside a gay sauna in Soho. They have coffee and catch up, with Christopher mentioning that he fled to Sweden during the war and discussing Sirius's crimes. Christopher propositions Remus to come to his flat, but Remus declines and hurries home to Grant, feeling grateful for what he has.
