Order Only: Private Message to Remus

[alt_sirius]

You know, I don't want to pry into their business but something's not adding up.

• Ron wants to know about transfiguring animagi into other animals and what effect that might have, as a precaution in case Glozeman tries transforming him


• He also asked about the forced reformation spell, since someone in their class knew it and they weren't already familiar with it (and why didn't Albus teach it to him? That's a question for another day)


• Private messages among Harry, Ron, Sally-Anne, Justin and Pansy (which could be anything, I admit)


• Harry asks us about Peter because he's been 'thinking about other animagi'?


• Sally-Anne asks me (and the other Animagi) about remaining in animal form for 'a really long time' and whether if one did so for sufficiently long periods, if one would turn into that animal


• And now, after we've been discussing Peter with Harry, he sends them all another Private Message

....

Doesn't Sally-Anne have a pet rat?

What was it you told Harry?

He always liked the vulnerable girls.

[alt_sirius]

Don't I know I just told him that!

And Peter did, too, remember? The ones who thought no one would ever notice them and so were pathetically grateful for his attention.

[alt_lupin]

I do remember.

'I play in my own league,' was that what he said? To James. When James was stuck on Lily, and Peter was trying to persuade him to move on.

Ugh.

[alt_sirius]

Yeah. What was her name? He was so proud of himself. Becky? Becca? Thornbush, right? Year below ours, Hufflepuff. Rather on the chubby side, if it comes to that. Anyway, he was insufferable that whole spring. Never lost a chance to remind James that he'd finally come first in something among the four of us.

Stands to reason he'd latch on to our Sally-Anne just when she needed something to make her feel more secure.

I'm going up there. Tonight. He has to be stopped before he can sell out the next generation, too.

[alt_lupin]

That makes no sense, though. If he'd wanted to sell them out he could've done it years ago. Years! Why hasn't he done it, if that's what he were going to do?
