Fact: James Potter housed me and supported me monetarily for a decade of my life and made sure that my every need was met. Out of the goodness of his heart.
Do me a favour, from friend to another friend, Remus. Let me live my own life and make my own decisions. Let me make my own mistakes -- you didn't try to convince me of Potter's sanctity when we were young, don't do it now, when he's not here, and when I can pretty much believe anything.
If I fall in love, ever, with anyone, I want it to be my own choice, and not -- I want it to happen naturally.
...how long have you known Harry for, exactly? I don't mean to be presumptuous, but it seems a little strange for you to be declaring undying adoration when most of what anyone could have told you about Harry are those same stories that you're denying his father.
Lily, don't ask for facts unless you really want to know. I know that there are consequences that come with knowledge, and being of a similar mindset, you should realize that as well.
Also seems that it's a little disrespectful to Harry's wishes to be prodding around specifically when he told you not to. But I suppose I did suspect that this would happen.
Five months, with plenty of time in between to get to know him.
I was not asking for facts, actually. I was simply stating that should I ever fall for James Potter, I hope it will be on my own initiative, and not others' tales.
And I was not, I assure you, prodding. At all. But one can hardly blame me for hearing things and reactions and not logically relating them and forming theories! That'd be denying how I think.
Then you must be far more well-adjusted than I, to be so sure in the existence of your son after five months.
In that case, as Ron stated below, I doubt that what we say here will have any bearing on what happens in our world. I know that Harry had other theories about this place, but they don't align with any of my own, particularly given my own experiences. The former version of myself must have learned things within the City, but I certainly didn't remember any of it back home, nor do I think I was affected by it.
It's possible to turn a blind eye. I'm just telling you that Harry doesn't want you to know certain things. At the same time, not voicing something doesn't really... change matters. But it's your future, and you ought to do with it as you please. I won't bar anything.
If you've already learned that it has happened, with certain of us being from your world's future and all, is it really all that bad simply assuming that it happens without interference from this place.
When people come and go, they forget the City. At least... That's how it usually seems to go.

Because I want you to fall for him that badly.

We learned that we did not remember this place once we got out of it, and that time carried on exactly the same.
I'm scared. Very unGryffindor, but there you have it.

It's hard, though. I don't, most of the time.
