7 ∆ i solemnly swear that i have four legs ( action/dictation )

[toerags]

Merlin's beard, I have missed you!

[ James Potter is talking to his legs, of course. Being stuck as a stag for a good two weeks was fun for a little while, but every time he wanted to eat or drink or simply talk to people he was unable to

sob placeholder :( also dictated forever!

[wornbright]

What's a Butterbeer? Who was mean to a stag?

it's a beautiful placeholder!

[toerags]

Everyone! [ said a little louder than necessary. He is very sensitive. ]

It's Wizard beer! Best kind in Hogsmeade. The alcohol here is alright, but, doesn't tickle me like Butterbeer!

[wornbright]

Were you on a loss?!

Oh! I'm still a minor in my world, so I can't drink alcohol yet.

[toerags]

If I couldn't change back at will until now, does that make it a loss?

[ Give James a moment. He's thinking of a way to work around this. ] What about wizard beer? I was drinking it at sixteen! [ Not that he was allowed to, but he's leaving out details here. ]

[courageous_wit]

I thought I recognized that stag...

[toerags]

[ ... ]

Recognised it?

[ He's taking the piss out of you. ] It's handsome, isn't it? Just like me.

[courageous_wit]

[so very amused] Oh, yes. Quite.

[toerags]

[ Super grin. ]

You are probably a hit with the stags. Thinking they're quite lovely creatures.

I'm surprised there aren't more animals roaming around here.

dictated/ I promised you a Bonnie to him~

[bonniewitch]

Butterbeer?

No offence, but that sounds gross.

dictated/ SCREAMS!

[toerags]

Don't judge a tankard by it's name! It's the best Wizarding beverage in Hogsmeade. Puts the Muggle stuff to shame, really.

You should try some. [ Once he bothers to wish it up or make it. ]

dictated forever/ :D

[bonniewitch]

Still don't know if I'd like it though.

Hey, did you just say Muggle? I know someone here who told me that term. Are you a friend of Hermione Granger's?

[toerags]

How 'bout you try it and then you can make me try something you like?

I know Miss Granger. Lovely girl. I'm James Potter. [ Just in case she's mentioned him. Which is a bit arrogant on his part. ] It's good to meet someone who knows the term for once!

[malfoy_purity]

You were a stag? Animagus or castle?

[toerags]

Both?

Was an Animagus for all of it, but couldn't change back because of the castle.

[ ... Oops? ]

[malfoy_purity]

There were rumours and things, particularly with Pettigrew and Black but...huhs. I suppose it must have been true.

[toerags]

[ Oh, bollocks. It's too late to play the dumb game, isn't it? But he's genuinely curious about these rumours. ] What must've been?

[stalkershiki]

[Shiki just sighs.]

I wish I knew what it was with the castle and turning my friends into animals... but I'm glad you're back to normal now!

[toerags]

Thank you, Shiki.

But how do you feel about friends who can turn into animals without the castle's influence?

[stalkershiki]

On their own, by their own choosing? Then that's awesome! I just... don't have a lot of friends who can do that, you know?

And by "a lot", I mean "not any".

[toerags]

You have one. [ SUPER PROUD GRIN OF EPIC PROPORTIONS. ]

If my mates were here, you'd have three more by default, but unfortunately, you're stuck with me for the moment.
