alt_siriusRight, I know you and Allie want me to play nice with that git, but what in Mordred's name is he on about, 'some people weren't as privileged as you'? If he wants to call being practically locked in my room for that whole summer with nothing to do except work on the transformation privileged, then I suppose I was.
I'll tell you one thing: I don't half like him underestimating our Terry like that.

Date: 2011-09-27 03:15 am (UTC)Besides, Terry had a few lessons with me before he got taken away. He can do it, I'm sure. It'll just take time.
And something else: I don't like the way he talks to you, either. Ordering you about like Laszlo's exists only to get him his supplies.
... What sort of 'research' has he done to determine whether the Animagus transformation would work, anyway?

Date: 2011-09-27 03:28 am (UTC)He's not going to get a rise out of me by ordering me about. First of all, some of those are to make the wolfsbane. Which I am truly grateful for, especially with Bea in the house. Second -- it would only give him satisfaction if I snapped back.
As far as his research, maybe you could ask Minerva? She's surely got plenty of books about the theory and practise of the animagus transformation.

Date: 2011-09-27 03:37 am (UTC)Does it occur to the pillock he could ask like a normal person? No, it does not.
Minerva's far too indulgent with him, you ask me. You don't think ....

Date: 2011-09-27 03:48 am (UTC)Why don't you ask? I'm not giving him that satisfaction, either.

Are you about done locking up? I've found a couple old chairs with some broken slats two streets over. Should do for the back but I don't want to bring them round until the place is empty.

Date: 2011-09-27 03:29 am (UTC)Why do you think he wants to come? Do you suppose they've twisted his arm at all, somehow?
no subject
Date: 2011-09-27 03:33 am (UTC)I suppose I don't blame him for playing along. He doesn't have to get quite so chummy with everyone, though.
Then again, he's possibly the most affable kid I've ever met - and that includes Peter when we first knew him.
no subject
Date: 2011-09-27 03:35 am (UTC)Perhaps he's so chummy because he's lonely.
no subject
Date: 2011-09-27 03:39 am (UTC)He's made a few friends since then, though.
