text; logs are for losers.

[fullmoon]

Hello. This is Remus Lupin. Harry told me your number. I'm sure you have a lot to deal with right now, but I wanted to make sure you had mine in case you need it.

[frizzard]

[ Oh my god, it's Remus Lupin. She types Professor, frowns at her device, deletes it. ]

Thank you. You've been here for 13 jumps?

text;

[fullmoon]

I suppose I have been.
Sirius has been here for nearly 40.

How are you handling everything?

text;

[frizzard]

As well as can be expected. Apparently I was lucky enough to arrive during one of the more complicated jumps.

[ More honest than "fine", anyway. ]

He wasn't here alone all that time, was he? Before you arrived.

[ Alone meaning something very specific, of course. Other worlds don't count. ]

text;

[fullmoon]

This was a bad one.
Maybe that means the worst is behind you.

[ Probably not. ]

No, he wasn't. I was here. I can't remember it, though. People come & go.
Lily Potter was here until recently.
Draco Malfoy & Severus Snape, but Sirius might have preferred being alone to that.
James Potter & Peter Pettigrew, but that was before what I can remember.

[ And her, of course, but that's a head trip he doesn't want to be the one to take her on, if she hasn't done already. ]

text;

[frizzard]

Wouldn't that be lucky.

[ Very dubiously. So no, probably not. ]

Harry told me about Lily. It's good that he got to meet her, I think.
Do people always lose their memories of this place when they leave?

text; logs are absolutely for losers also hi plot stuff :"]

[doggedly]

[frizzard]

[ After a pause to squint at Harry's texts. ]

You've seen one on the ship?

[doggedly]

text; apparently important; evidently plot

[bespectacle]

Morning Hermione!

Did you get flobberworms in your locker? I don't know if Sirius is already asking you.

And whether you did or not, would you mind telling me what you did get?

[He sounds a bit cagey. He's definitely being a bit cagey.]

text; 1/2

[frizzard]

[ eyes roll out of head, down corridor, out airlock, etc. ]

Don't tell me you've got a craving for flobberworm fritters.

text;

[frizzard]

[ And, much more reluctantly (but very objectively, in appearance): ]

My wand, Bellatrix's wand, a few sets of clothes, my handbag, the Time-Turner, one revealer, and several books. Why?

And morning, by the way.

[bespectacle]

[Harry's answer comes immediately on the heels of her second text.]

I could swear I saw your Time-Turner just now. Quick glimpse. Have you been using it?

I promise you won't drive me mad. And I promise this isn't about flobberworm fritters.

[Of course it's not. The Time-Turner. With the last couple Jumps he's had--]

[frizzard]

[ Quick turn from mildly aggrieved to very, very concerned. ]

What? No, of course I haven't been using it. Harry, where did you see it?

[bespectacle]

Kitchen, 5th floor while I was looking for some food.

Maybe it was a kitchen utensil or something. It just looked really gold and perfect.

Should probably check you've still got it anyway. In your bag, or your locker still?

[frizzard]

[ After a very short pause to dig through her bag— ]

It's right here. I'm holding it in my hand.

Have you also seen the flobberworm, or was that just Sirius?

[fullmoon]

Do you have your Apparition license?

[ The shooting hasn't started yet—not quite yet, it may begin during this very inbox thread—but they're thinking ahead. Hermione should be proud. ]

[frizzard]

[ She's so proud. ]

Do you think it's possible to Apparate off-ship?

[ Which is to say: yes. Also, she's either gotten very good at this mind-reading thing or has been mulling over tactics herself. ]

hi actually

[doggedly]

[--because, unexpectedly for Hermione but perfectly expectedly on Remus' end (as he did, telepathically, take Sirius up on his invitation to ask), this has now become a group text.]

want to find out

[doggedly]

[Oh, also, before Remus has a chance to step in:]

how old are you

[frizzard]

[ Wow you're ridiculous. And also making her miss Harry + Ron hijinks, thanks for that. ]

Yes, I've passed the test. And yes, I think I would like to find out.

[fullmoon]

Say you're at least 17.
For me.
