Aaaaaawwwwwwwwwww!!! Adorable and heartbreaking.

I don't know how smart it was for Remus to tell the entire world that Harry visits that park every night, as it could make him an easy target. But I guess there are people looking out for Harry too, so perhaps it'll be all right.

Actually, that's a rather good point. We don't know for sure how far the protection of the Dursley's reaches, so it's quite possible that the park isn't covered, so to speak. I doubt that Remus would have mentioned it if he were in his right mind, just in case it isn't protected, but I don't blame him for getting a bit.. enthusiastic with Harry.

I think Harry will be ok; Mrs Figg will hit anyone who tries to harm him with large, heavy bags of canned cat-food.

I can see this park being a nice meeting spot after a Certain Someone gets his License.

Remus is such a loving sneak, I bet they've had this planned for a while. It was much need for them both. Sirius come home!

Actually it was Harry who gave away the fact that he goes to that park. And I suspect that he knew what he was doing, and was just making sure that if people wanted to visit him they should go to the park at nightfall since it's closed.

i was thinking the trick had to do with the cue.

Remus is so very groovy.
I wonder what this announcement is? And what sort of state Harry was in when he got back to number 4.

I'm thinking it's something to do with Harry's birthday, which is coming up soon-ish. Maybe a surprise party, or something. Especially the 'lists' bit.. possibly a guest list?

portkey @ July 13 2003, 13:27:08 UTC

Actually, Remus' new icon, with the keywords "we are family", leads me to believe that possibly they've taught/are teaching Harry to become an animagus. Hrm.

notapipe @ July 13 2003, 13:44:53 UTC

There are several problems with that idea, that come from what we know from when they did the animagus class back in August.

1) Harry's form is not one for frolicking much, it's a snake.

2) Harry wasn't selected to go on, he's just not all that good at it, apparently.

babytyggeryss @ July 13 2003, 14:15:51 UTC

I think he used that icon (my new favorite) because he was able to spent time with his dear boy. There are very few things that mean so much to Remus as Harry.

theantimodel @ July 13 2003, 14:22:44 UTC

I was thinking something more along the lines of a legal adoption of Harry, however I'm not sure that they would be able to do that because of the blood-protection thing. Or, as you suggested, it could be a surprise party for Harry, since his birthday is coming up, re-thinking a bit I'd put my money on that before anything else.

See, now that would make sense. I think I need a better imagination. I seem to be at a loss about everything at the moment.

Aren't we all? Well, minus the boy and plus the girl. He's brilliant.

Found myself south of London last night, completely unexpected of course as it takes a Floo, a journey on the Muggle Underground, and the Knight Bus to get where I wound up, which was remarkably close to a certain neighbourhood in a particular part of Surrey.

Overwhelming feelings of love. Gorgeous. But now I miss Sirius even more.

Aw, Harry's such a lightweight.
