"It does, yes." He wasn't going to lie. He trusted that Harry would know better now than to sneak out to walk around the grounds by himself, anyway. "The night air helps me clear my head. So if you would ever like to try that, we can."
The joke made his lips quirk upwards before he chuckled again. "Thank you. I will definitely keep that in mind."
What Harry did, resting his head on his shoulder and squeezing his hand, brought a mixture of comfort that was inexplicable. His heart ached at the memory of the nightmare and how here he was, so willing to comfort him, but it was easier to remember it had all just been a bad dream. He would give his life for this boy that he loved so much. There was no way he would ever harm his nephew.
"You already do that, actually. It really is very comforting to know I can rely on you." Remus returned the gentle squeeze, and he leaned his head against Harry's as he smiled. "Knowing you are not alone helps to make things easier, and you are doing a fantastic job at reminding me of that."
