Peter! You look like complete shit. Are you sick, mate? If you're sick maybe you should go infect people somewhere else to the Hospital Wing. Don't want to you uh exploding in the rooms, do we?

Remus? Why haven't you forced him into the Hospital Wing yet? Or force-fed him soup? I have no idea what I'm doing taking your Mother-Hen position. This is

The Ministry isn't doing its job, Peter looks just fine to me, no explosions, and have you seen my Arithmancy text? I could have sworn it was on my bed just this morning, but now I can't find it, and I really need it for these proofs we're doing...

[chasing_james]

Well, you know they could be coming up with something new. Maybe they're spying on the enemy, just waiting to serve justice!

Um Remus, are you sure that you're all right? Peter is pale and sweating and his eyes are watering and he can't stop fidgeting. Hmm, now that you mention it, you're kind of -- and the subject changing -- did you catch his sickness?

[howlsoftly]

Maybe. Or maybe they're inept and nothing is being done because they have no idea what to do.

I'm fine, I don't know why everyone keeps asking, and Pete's just nervous about Carrie, I think. You know how he gets.

[chasing_james]

Yes well, we can't all be amazing with the ladies.

I don't know though, I don't think that's quite right. PERHAPS THIS BUG IS MAKING IT SO THAT THE PERSON INFECTED DOES NOT THINK THAT THEY ARE INFECTED!

Unless of course it really isn't illness, but something else. Is it something else Remus?

[howlsoftly]

Too true, I'm afraid. I really don't think Peter and I are sick, though-- we're not sneezing or coughing or anything, and even if we were sick it would probably be two different things. Still, I think you're just making up symptoms. If you're bored, you could help me look for this book.

[chasing_james]

"Making up symptoms" as you put it is far more interesting than looking for your book.

You really should tell me what's wrong with you and Peter.

Is there someone being mean to you both? Exploding your inkpots? Setting your parchment on fire? Being an evil kniving Slytherin? Do we get need to go down and hex some snakes? You know me n' Sirius would do anything for you guys.

[howlsoftly]

No, not really.

[chasing_james]

Gee that's convincing.

I'm glad you're being so helpful to a concerned friend.

[howlsoftly]

You're concerned for no reason, though!

[chasing_james]

Oh right. Silly me, thinking I knew something about you and Pete. Of course you're both perfectly fine. I'm terribly sorry for showing concern for no reason. I'll know better next time.

[howlsoftly]

...James.

[chasing_james]

Didn't you have a book to find or something? I don't want to take up too much of your time. It's not going to find itself, after all.

[howlsoftly]

Stop that.

[chasing_james]

Sorry? I don't really understand what you want me to stop doing. I'm not doing anything.

[howlsoftly]

You're doing that, and please please stop it because, James, I am very stressed about this book and I am tired and I forgot to eat lunch today and... just... please don't do that, okay?

[chasing_james]

"That"? Remus. I'm not doing anything. And I told you to go find your book. So go ahead and find it. No one is stopping you.
