As soon as Dumbledore had disapperated Remus felt suddenly rejuvenated and barely felt the ache in his chest. Hope and Lyall, as worried as they still were, were brimming with happiness at the sight of their very excited son. Remus Eagerly opened the letter:

A surge of warmth spread through the young boy's body as he read calligraphic cursive of the Deputy Headmistress, especially over the word 'accepted'. He never thought he's be accepted in any society. He quickly took out the second sheaf of folded parchment.

"Can we go today?" Asked Remus. He was practically bouncing out of his bed.

Lyall grinned, the first real grin in six years.

"We'll go in the afternoon." He promised. "That is if you are feeling well enough."
