Remus was actually already planning on starting his research as soon as Poppy would let him leave the infirmary to recuperate at home. ...all right, maybe not that soon since he didn't want to get Tonks too worried about him, but he was definitely planning on doing a lot of reading whenever he had a chance.
Peter's name brought a mix of a sad and slightly bitter smile to his lips, and he couldn't help but wonder if someone had informed Benjy about what Peter had done. But, instead of asking, he just gave a faint nod to say that he remembered that part as well. Merlin, and it felt so long since then...
"He might have, if you weren't that far from it," Remus responded with a slightly bigger smile. "If he did, however, it took him about ten years since you...stopped your own work for it. It was still a relatively new discovery nineteen years ago."
He couldn't say 'since you died.' The word just seemed to get stuck in his throat.
