It's a lie. Remus knows they could. Spells that rob it, blows to the head, but here and now, it's something no one can take. "I know it seems cheap now, but it's true. When everything is gone and you have nothing, nothing but the clothes on your back, those memories will keep you warm and they will keep your chest breathing and your heart beating. The memory of his smile will lighten dark nights and the weight of his gaze will keep your hunger at bay. The fury of his death will keep the spark in you going when you might otherwise curl up and wilt like leaves at the end of summer."
