The world turns and we get dizzy.
Right, my desk is as organised as it's going to get - not that Hagrid can bloody use it, as he's the same size as the desk itself. But everything's where it should be in case he sends anyone in looking for something. Which I doubt, since he will likely ignore everything I've written out for him in favour of educating you all on the eating habits of the chimaera (preference: small animals, birds and first years). I wish you all the best of luck with your lessons, and whoever's left when I return will recieve a load of house points for your bravery.
Harry, don't forget to feed the Menagerie while I'm gone, and I think the Runespoors were asking after you. Or, they wanted their tank cleaned. It's hard to tell, with three heads chattering away at once.
Oh, and would someone be a dear and make certain that my owls are kept active? I don't want them to become lethargic in my absence. Add them to the school Owlery if you must, just keep them busy. Bip is speedy, but Bop doesn't drop things nearly as much.
Right. I'm not very tired, so I think I will have a bath and perhaps read a bit. I suppose I can sleep on my journey, but I'd rather not. I need to be alert.

Oh good. I was afraid the Runespoors wouldn't need their tank clean and then I wouldn't get to do my favourite thing ever.
| lupercus @ 2003-11-21 08:59 pm UTC |
Yes, I know you enjoy that task immensely. Do try to contain your excitement. I've just had the floors waxed.
(parent)| just_harry @ 2003-11-21 09:00 pm UTC |
That's kind of disappointing. I mean, I was hoping I could wax them with my toothbrush or something.
(parent)| just_harry @ 2003-11-21 09:11 pm UTC |
Well yeah. He told me that he wrote letters to the German Minister of Magic for a couple months once to let her know she had his support.
(parent)| lupercus @ 2003-11-21 09:16 pm UTC |
I actually did mean you, you little snot, but now I am absolutely concerned about Ron.
(parent)| just_harry @ 2003-11-21 09:23 pm UTC |
I really can't say, I think Ron will be kind of hurt. I mean you can't just talk about things like that. It wouldn't be fair.
He doesn't go take baths and read books on Friday nights, though, so he's not too bad off.
| lupercus @ 2003-11-21 09:24 pm UTC |
Ah. So these were deeply personal missives to the German Ministress of Magic, whom to my knowledge he's never met? I see.
And I don't see you having any hot dates tonight, pal.
| lupercus @ 2003-11-21 09:27 pm UTC |
Because you wouldn't hold out on your dear old professor if you did.
(parent)| just_harry @ 2003-11-21 09:29 pm UTC |
You didn't ask! You just figured I don't have anything to do, didn't you?
(parent)| lupercus @ 2003-11-21 09:42 pm UTC |
I appreciate you sacrificing one of your valuable Friday evenings for me, as you are such the hot ticket.
(parent)| just_harry @ 2003-11-21 09:44 pm UTC |
That's okay. I forgive you. You're going to make it up to me by getting back fast.
(parent)| lupercus @ 2003-11-21 09:45 pm UTC |
Yes. I am going to do just that.
You will of course look after yourself?
| lupercus @ 2003-11-21 09:49 pm UTC |
Brilliant.
And everything else I asked you to look after?
| lupercus @ 2003-11-21 09:54 pm UTC |
Good.
You'll be fine. I know this. Both of you.
And now I think you ought to go and get some sleep.
| lupercus @ 2003-11-21 09:58 pm UTC |
Oh yes. How could I forget. Are they beating down the door?
And here I wanted to revoke your license. What was I thinking? You're positively a stud.
| just_harry @ 2003-11-21 10:05 pm UTC |
Not yet. Which is good because I don't really want them to do that.
(parent)| just_harry @ 2003-11-21 10:22 pm UTC |
Yeah. I know. I don't know who will make me listen to songs about girls with fat bottoms now.
(parent)| lupercus @ 2003-11-21 10:28 pm UTC |
You mock my superior musical taste.
Just for that, we're listening to Tie Your Mother Down on repeat, when I get home.
| lupercus @ 2003-11-21 10:40 pm UTC |
Much to learn you still have. Help you I can. Yes, mmmm.
| lupercus @ 2003-11-21 10:48 pm UTC |
Very funny.
I am appalled that you have not seen Star Wars.
You are so off my friends list.
| lupercus @ 2003-11-21 10:51 pm UTC |
That is because I am witty and clever, and you are not.
Shouldn't you be off on one of your hot dates by now?
| sinistra @ 2003-11-21 09:48 pm UTC |
Remus, will you pick me up a miniature tea set while you're off? There's a dear.
| lupercus @ 2003-11-21 09:50 pm UTC |
If one strays into my path, I will collect it for you Sylvia.
(parent)| lupercus @ 2003-11-21 09:55 pm UTC |
Well, I have heard that tiny tea sets are a tad skittish. I'm quite old and slow, you know.
(parent)| scotchtartan @ 2003-11-21 09:55 pm UTC |
Best of luck, Professor. I am certain that I needn't remind you to be careful.
Professor M. McGonagall
| lupercus @ 2003-11-21 09:56 pm UTC |
Thank you, Minerva. You don't need to remind me, but it's always good advice to hear.
Tell Albus I'll contact him upon arrival.
| wehaveseven @ 2003-11-21 10:51 pm UTC |
I'll keep in close contact with Bip and Bop for sure, Remus, I thought you might have took one or both with you but just stay safe, there's a lad.
| lupercus @ 2003-11-21 10:53 pm UTC |
Oh, I don't dare take either of them with me. I'm far too fond of them.
You'll notice that I never did change the names. They grew on me.
Take care and look after your brood, Arthur. I'd like them all in top form when I get back.
(Er, though - you might want to keep an eye on Ron. He worries me.)
| wehaveseven @ 2003-11-21 11:54 pm UTC |
I did notice, indeed. Warmed the old heart. It's hard to rename things anyway, you'll know.
Top form and a big family dinner will be in order when you're back.
(Can't help but agree from time to time.)
