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.

[lupercusna]

Yes, I know you enjoy that task immensely. Do try to contain your excitement. I've just had the floors waxed.

[just-harry.livejournal.com]

That's kind of disappointing. I mean, I was hoping I could wax them with my toothbrush or something.

[lupercusna]

You are an odd little fellow, aren't you?

[just-harry.livejournal.com]

Me?

[lupercusna]

No, Ron.

[just-harry.livejournal.com]

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.

[lupercusna]

I actually did mean you, you little snot, but now I am absolutely concerned about Ron.

[just-harry.livejournal.com]

Ron doesn't even speak German.

[lupercusna]

What did the letters say, then?

[sinistra.livejournal.com]

Remus, will you pick me up a miniature tea set while you're off? There's a dear.

[lupercusna]

If one strays into my path, I will collect it for you Sylvia.

[sinistra.livejournal.com]

I don't see how you could possibly avoid it.

[lupercusna]

Well, I have heard that tiny tea sets are a tad skittish. I'm quite old and slow, you know.

[sinistra.livejournal.com]

You have my faith.

[lupercusna]

And with that, I may conquer the world.

[wehaveseven.livejournal.com]

you all come back now you hear?

[lupercusna]

i hear.

[scotchtartan.livejournal.com]

Best of luck, Professor. I am certain that I needn't remind you to be careful.

Professor M. McGonagall

[lupercusna]

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.livejournal.com]

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.

[lupercusna]

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.)

[knight-to-h3.livejournal.com]

Huh?

[wehaveseven.livejournal.com]

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.)

Good luck on whatever it is that you're doing, Professor Lupin.
