It's snowing!
I was letting in an owl a few moments ago and saw that everything is covered in white. I could feel it coming but I didn't know when in fact it would begin to fall. It's really quite lovely, and as always it puts me into good cheer. I think the house-elves were in while I was in the bath becase the fire seems a bit warmer than it did before I went in. Might be a good time for a spot of tea - or maybe something a little stronger.
Harry, up for a snowball fight at the weekend? It's been a while since I've had one and I'm feeling rather feisty. You can borrow some socks if you need them (and perhaps explain to me what this sock business is, that's going round the castle? I'm highly entertained, if slightly confused).
Of course, the weather does mean that my lessons shall have to be moved inside for the remainder of the season. We've got a very large room on the sixth floor, across from the statue of Finglas the Fungal, which I'm very pleased about. Plenty of room for the creatures. Next week's lesson for the sixth years should be very interesting - Firenze has graciously agreed to come in and speak on centaurs. I'm quite looking forward to it. Firenze is a delightful fellow.
Oh, there's the door. I'd best be off, and I should probably answer this owl before I become too distracted.
Er, also - Sirius, I should like to speak to you at some point this week on a matter fairly urgent, if you've the time? Let me know. It's been ages since we've talked.

I'm up for it if you are, old man.
I don't need any socks, though. About ninety people have offered them to me but I have enough, I mean it.

Just who are you calling old, pipsqueak? Them's fightin' words.
Well, I'm sure that whatever sock surplus you have would be appreciated by Dobby. Rather disturbing fetish the little fellow has.

Old? You must be hearing things.
I tried to give a pair to Dobby for Christmas last year, and I reckon he thought it was so nice he wanted to give me an extra pair, because he just sewed some extra stuff on the top and gave them back. So now I just have the same socks, but they go to my knees.

Hard to mishear things when they're written right up there, wise guy.
That's very sweet of Dobby. I think this year you ought to give him a set of underpants and see what he does with those.
You. Me. Saturday morning. Outside. Prepare to eat snow.

I've been busy with classes, Remus. Try my office or my rooms, if you need to see me.

Of course. I've popped by a couple of times but I seem to have missed you.
Where are your rooms again?
| jadedsirius @ 2003-11-07 08:09 pm UTC |
Are the house-elves on strike, that you can't get directions from them?
Charms corridor, second tapestry on the left, up one flight of stairs, painting of Hogwarts' first quidditch team. Sometimes you have to whistle to stop them playing long enough to give them the password.

Well, it seems rather silly to go all the way down to the kitchens just to do that when I can just ask you here.
Right, I remember now. If you flirt with the Keeper he'll tell you all sorts of castle gossip.
Tomorrow, I'll find you.
