*He looks good too—but, somehow, not as incandescent as she remembers him. Still, though, as she gives Evan her arm, she can't help grinning. Today is a good day: she's finally gotten a letter from Remus, and she's on a date, of all ridiculous and unexpected things, and is walking through Diagon Alley arm-in arm with someone more than presentable. He's downright handsome, in fact, and has a way with Lucretius to boot. She's left with the feeling that he's plucked her from her dingy surroundings like a pearl from a pigpen, and the idea is an attractive one. Her smile is, for the first time, totally unaffected.*
