Order Only: Private Message to Remus

[alt_sirius]

Right, 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.

An eel! Oh, excellent. He's slippery enough, at least.

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.

[alt_sirius]

Yeah, slippery, slimy, disgusting and gives a shock to anyone who tries to touch him!

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 ....

[alt_lupin]

I REFUSE to think.

Don't give me nightmares, Padfoot!

[alt_sirius]

Not that, you idiot.

Blood magic. Animagi.

[alt_lupin]

I'm not following what you're suggesting.

[alt_sirius]

He's testing whether blood magic can be broken by transforming, Moony.

How would one go about doing that?

[alt_lupin]

He can't possibly be experimenting on Minerva. Does she spend any time at all at her house, once school is in session?

[alt_sirius]

No idea.

Why don't you ask? I'm not giving him that satisfaction, either.

[alt_lupin]

Or at least, if he is experimenting on Minerva, it's a joint venture, not subterfuge.

[alt_sirius]

Hmph.

Don't be so sure.

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.

[alt_lupin]

Dora sent the last stragglers on their way a half hour ago. Now's fine.

[alt_sirius]

Good. On my way, then - see you in ten minutes.

[alt_sirius]

Besides, she'd never. It's me she's got a crush on, said so herself.

(Which is enough to give me nightmares, but better that than the other!)
