Lockheart had been a frustrating but welcomed loss as he had been one giant lie to the Wizarding community as a whole. Lupin's lips thinned even more, watching as students started to move away, but still kept his voice down when he said, "ah, of course you would say that, considering your sniveling git of a lackey still hasn't been offered the position." He might have known more about Snape than most, and truly couldn't hate the man that had come to their side any longer (still dislike, yes) but he couldn't act like anything but an enemy to the man.

"Why don't you toddle off to tea why those of us who have real work to do, do so?" How was it that just the mere sight of Malfoy could send him into the same mindset of a teenager again?
