☽ 002 [ Waning ] -- Dictated / Filtered / Action

[lupinotuum]

 [ In the past week or so, Remus has taken to wandering about the castle when not in the company of his friends, both to familiarize himself with his surroundings and for another, somewhat darker purpose. ( One that will obviously not be divulged to anyone but his inner-circle, of course. ) 
Today, he has found the Library and is now perusing the shelves with utter abandon, apparently in awe of the fact that this library has three floors.

If the Marauders were able to lose their Moony in the one at Hogwarts, they'll most assuredly lose him in this one. ]

I've never seen so many books ... not even Hogwarts has this many ...
I wonder if -- oh, there should be something here about the castle, right? 

There should be something ... Ah! Yes! Here we are!

[ Yes, he's mumbling to himself, but this is what Moonies do. 
Nonetheless, you'll now find him gathering just about every relevant book he can find and piling them at a table in a secluded little corner. I don't think any of you will see him for a while. ]


I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I think we need to talk about my "furry little problem" as it was put so eloquently...
I have until the 27th, and I don't know about you, but I'd much prefer it if I wasn't allowed to roam freely about the castle where I can bite or ... or k-kill someone.

I guess I'm just trying to say that we need a plan and we need to think of something now, before it's too late.

Remus, I live on the fifth floor, so if you need help finding books just let me know. There's also a very nice young dragon who maintains it.

[lupinotuum]

... I ... I'm sorry, but did you say dragon?

[courageous_wit]

Yes. Oh, he's very nice, Remus. His name is Spike.

[lupinotuum]

... Huh.
I take it he is very different from the Dragon's back home?

Oh, and before I forget, we'll need to plan a time for me to show you those spells? I'd much rather do it sooner than later. If you don't mind, of course...

[courageous_wit]

Quite different, yes. He was raised by ponies so he's very sweet and friendly.

There aren't very many good practice areas in the castle. We could go out in the courtyard or the Shooting Range, if you think we need the space.

[lupinotuum]

Raised by Ponies?
Well ... I suppose that would certainly tame a Dragon...

The spells I need to teach you don't require very much room, just somewhere quiet so we can concentrate. Perhaps we can occupy a corner somewhere in the library?

[courageous_wit]

I live next to the library, so I already know a few quiet places we can go.

[lupinotuum]

Good. Wonderful.
Just let me know when you're free next, I suppose.

[courageous_wit]

I would say "anytime", but there's always the chance the castle may do something to change it.

[lupinotuum]

[ He chuckles. ]

Well, perhaps we can meet up tomorrow then? Mid-afternoon?

[courageous_wit]

I can manage that.

I think Prongs is the one to talk to, mate. I'm still learning my way around here and he won't tell me these things. [ He may or may not have just muttered 'wanker'. ]

Have you made sure their moon works the same?

[ You can practically hear him rolling his eyes at you, Sirius. ]

Yes, yes, I've been watching just about every night, Padfoot. It's exactly the same as ours, and it's rather lucky that I've been given a month to prepare. If it had been any closer...

[ He seems a little annoyed, tired maybe. He's worrying about it a little too much. ]

Re: Dictated

[heirofficium]

[ Now that tone has him worried. ]

Hey- Hey, Moony, calm down... Where are you? Let's talk about this in person, alright?

Dictated

[lupinotuum]

I'm ... [ There's a huff, a sigh as he takes a moment to pull himself back. ]
I'm in my room.
