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.

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?

[just-harry.livejournal.com]

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.

[lupercusna]

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.

[just-harry.livejournal.com]

Who said I don't?

[lupercusna]

Because you wouldn't hold out on your dear old professor if you did.

[just-harry.livejournal.com]

You didn't ask! You just figured I don't have anything to do, didn't you?

[lupercusna]

Yes, because you're sitting here talking to me.

[just-harry.livejournal.com]

Well that's just what I have to do.

[lupercusna]

I appreciate you sacrificing one of your valuable Friday evenings for me, as you are such the hot ticket.

[just-harry.livejournal.com]

That's okay. I forgive you. You're going to make it up to me by getting back fast.

[lupercusna]

Yes. I am going to do just that.

You will of course look after yourself?

[just-harry.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Or Hermione will. Same thing, really.

[lupercusna]

Brilliant.

And everything else I asked you to look after?

[just-harry.livejournal.com]

Yeah.

I will.

I'll try to, anyway.

[lupercusna]

Good.

You'll be fine. I know this. Both of you.

And now I think you ought to go and get some sleep.

[just-harry.livejournal.com]

Well I still have all those dates lined up.

[lupercusna]

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.livejournal.com]

Not yet. Which is good because I don't really want them to do that.

[lupercusna]

Yes. Doors are important, and hard to replace.

[just-harry.livejournal.com]

That, too.

[lupercusna]

I am really going to miss you, boy.

[just-harry.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I know. I don't know who will make me listen to songs about girls with fat bottoms now.
