"Miss Walker... I..." Remus Lupin hesitated, seeming as though he wanted to say more, but ultimately holding his tongue.
"Very well, Mr. Remus Lupin, I have no intention of making enemies with you. Just like that biting dog—one night after Harry defeated Quirinus Quirrell, I quietly broke its leg and then healed it. So you see, my healing methods are genuinely effective. Trust me, I will return a completely unharmed Sirius Black to you. After all, I still need him to take care of Harry, and I'm sure you wouldn't want me breaking some dog's leg again on some future day! At the very least, I can promise that everything is wiped clean after this. Isn't that for the best?" After a moment of thought, Rhea spoke gently. She still needed them to protect Harry and to replace Professor Snape, so she didn't want to make things too tense.
After a long silence, Lupin said defeatedly, "Very well. I hope Miss Walker is a woman of her word."
