“I loved him.” Remus said. “But he wasn’t you.”

Grant left Remus in the kitchen, with two cups of tea - one for Remus, one for Sirius.

Grants character 😭 this speaks volumes of his kindness, strength and selflessness

“You’ve been my little bit of magic.”

Just twist the knife. My heart wasn’t broken enough, clearly

“You’ll break my heart if you go now.” Remus said, aware he sounded sulky and petulant.
Grant shook his head lightly, holding his ground. “I’m sorry, love. But it’s breaking my heart to stay.”

What the fuck. Possibly. No. Definitely !! the saddest part if this whole book.

“You had him at his best, ok? I had his worst.” He smiled, a little, “And I was glad to do it. I have one part of him. You have the other. Can we agree?”

This is heart wrenching😭

“I was only ever looking after him for you,” Grant said, raising a hand to keep Sirius quiet, “I was never it for him. That’s been you, all these years.”

No grant. Remus loved you. He does. He really does 😭

Sirius couldn't help smiling to himself, thinking about Harry. That incredible, brilliant, brave kid. James would be so proud…
James, James I'm so sorry….

I’m crying 😭

Remus had never looked at Grant like that, not really.

STOP THE CAMERAS I CANT DO THIS

Grant had worked hard to keep the softest parts of Remus safe. And he had; he’d done a good job. He’d taken care of him, until Remus didn’t really need taking care of anymore. It was perhaps time to let go.

This makes me so sad :((

“Remus had been different for a while, but until that bloody black dog showed up Grant had thought there might be hope for recovery.
But now it looked impossible - Remus did not want things back the way they were. He hadn’t said it - maybe he didn’t know it - but it was very obvious to Grant. ”

Grant is stronger than me fr because if that had been me. After 12 YEARS?! I would have wound up at the psych ward.
