That doesn't make it okay. He wants to kill him, Remus! Have you talked to him? He wants to kill Peter and I can't be okay with that, future or no.

[ but the question makes him quiet, because he really needs to think about this and suddenly it all looks a little different. not that different, though. ]

I wouldn't kill him, that's for sure. He hasn't actually done anything yet and I'm not going to let a future that hasn't happened decide his life.
