Private Message to Dora and Moony

Either of you seen that little pair of nail clippers?

Bea's claws need a trimming.

I thought I saw the things in the bathroom next to the nursery but now they're gone.


Moony, is he going to come or still hold himself aloof?

Last I used them, we were in the rocker. Try the table by the window. I might have tucked them in the drawer.

[alt_sirius]

Ta, luv, found them.

Walden's coming, and he wants to give us a pet -- a young boomslang he found somewhere.

[alt_sirius]

Okay, good that he's coming.

He does know we've got an infant in the house, yeah?

I'll see what we can do about a terrarium. Maybe there's something in the still room.

And let's think carefully about how to instruct Kreacher so it doesn't get out 'accidentally.'

[alt_lupin]

I hadn't even thought about bloody Kreacher.

I'm sure Walden's had a hell of a time just keeping it warm, where he's been living, and that's why he's trying to give it to us, but perhaps Alice could take charge of it. Or someone at Moddey.

[alt_nymphadora]

A boomslang.

Brilliant pet for a just-crawling sprog.

Remind me why we're asking him here?

[alt_lupin]

They shed, you know. I imagine that's why he thinks we'd be interested. I'll try to find out once he arrives if he expects us to keep it or if we could find it a home with another Order member -- someone at Moddey, perhaps. I imagine he thinks it'll be easier for us to keep it warm and happy than for him to manage it in Sherwood.
