Hi, everyone! I'm fine! I'm updating from Dudley's computer because Uncle Vernon is rolling around on my bedroom floor tangled up in cords. He's been trying to get the cable connected to my laptop since right after we got home, but the wires are way too smart for him. I almost offered to help, but it's really funnier this way. Also, just watching him get purpler and purpler as the we got closer to the end of three days has been a blast. I'm only in Dudley's room now because listening to Dudley howl about it isn't anywhere near as awful to my aunt and uncle as the idea that Sirius might show up on the doorstep. Anyway, I'm okay, you don't have to worry or anything, and this is actually the best couple of days I've ever spent in this house. I should have thought to bring a convicted mass murderer and a werewolf to meet them ages ago.

I'm going to cut it short because I can't watch Uncle Vernon from here, and anyway, this room really stinks.

FISH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


erniemacmillan @ 2003-07-03 07:13 pm UTC

Oops, cut that off before I meant to. Hey, Potter, that was a really brilliant idea! With the fish! Where've you been! My dad said it was really wicked, too, you know, and even though you're gay maybe you're not all that bad. Fish! Unbelievable!


lupercus @ 2003-07-03 07:43 pm UTC


The mass murderer and the werewolf are pleased to see that the boy is doing well, and also wish that the boy might send them a few photos of his uncle battling with those malevolent wires, as it is causing much hilarity here at Dogear Wryde. If Sirius rolling around on the floor laughing his fool head off is any indication.

Rosie sends her love, dear, and she misses her favourite chew-toy. Which would, naturally, be you.

Keep in touch.

Love,
Remus (and Sirius, who I fear is about to wet himself if he does not stop laughing)


jadedsirius @ 2003-07-03 10:48 pm UTC

I'll have you know I haven't wet myself since first year, Moony. That was James.

lupercus @ 2003-07-03 11:21 pm UTC


No, no, pretty sure it was you. I recall the melodic squish of your walk. We considered building a pier in your bed.

James, now, James had an unfortunate issue with radishes. We learnt that the hard way. There were just not enough windows in that dormitory.

Ah, memories. Like the corner of my mind.

jadedsirius @ 2003-07-03 10:47 pm UTC

I'm glad to hear from you, Harry, though I admit I was looking forward to a bit more threatening and violence. Pity. At any rate, it does sound like you're having a decent time of it so far. If your Uncle starts to backslide, be sure and tell him all about the fact that Remus and I are quite capable of many and various quite showy magics to impress the neighbours and, unlike you, are perfectly allowed to do whatever we want. And I'm violent.

We miss you, Harry. Please take care of yourself.

~Sirius


lupercus @ 2003-07-03 11:18 pm UTC

And I'm violent.

He is. You should see him when he kills spiders. It's gruesome, truly. Especially the victory dance.

Vicious guard dog we've got here, Harry James. Bloodthirsty. Possibly rabid. Mostly housebroken.

Pity he sheds.

Well, I was planning to give Harry a pair of leather pants for his birthday, but now you've given away the surprise.

(parent)
lupercus @ 2003-07-04 01:20 am UTC


You most certainly will not. The boy's reputation shall be ruined. We might as well pack him off to Knockturn Alley right now, where he will live in sin and depravity, and leather trousers.

Don't make me get the newspaper.

(parent)
jadedsirius @ 2003-07-04 01:23 am UTC

Just because he's wearing leather trousers? Are you implying something about me, then?

Don't answer that.

(parent)
lupercus @ 2003-07-04 01:28 am UTC


Me? I never imply, my darling. You're a horrible old man in squeaky pants who is leading our innocent boy down the road of wretched fashion sense. Nothing implied in that, it's all right out there in black-and-white, twelve point Helvetica.

Though, I suppose, considering that you are of course a dangerous ex-criminal and I am a terrible beast, it was only a matter of time. Between the two of us, Harry will no doubt wind up clad in tempered cowhide and gnawing on the ottoman.

Woe.

lupercus @ 2003-07-04 01:50 am UTC


No, because while you do most certainly shed, steal my blankets, hog the pillows, wear squeaky trousers, and eat disgusting green leafy things, I love you more than life itself, and I would be very unhappy if you and all of your wonderful flaws went to sleep on the couch.

However, I am afraid that we have now ensured that Harry won't want to come within fifty miles of either of us, because we are rather horrible old men. Oh, dear. Whatever will we do?

Harry darling I'm so sorry I couldn't have a word with your aunt and uncle at the train station but you understand how it is trying to gather children, what with the twins there too. But don't you worry, I'm arranging a little something just for your uncle, and don't forget to let them know you'll be allowed to use magic after the 31st.
