Yeah. [Peter expected as much. How many times had he tried to offer Remus a solution to his problems? How many times had the offer been politely declined. He knows he isn't the only one. He's overheard James and Sirius say as much before. Still, maybe one of these times Moony will take the advice.]

You should still think about it. The Ministry is shit, but it's always been that way. Not everyone in it is a raging arse. Maybe all it takes is just one person to look the other way. At least you'd be more comfortable in a larger room. No one would have to know of the other reasons.
