So you're a tennis muggle who....talks like you just popped out of one of those old Wild West films? Interesting. Or at least I assume you're a tennis muggle. Most of the muggles seem to be tennis muggles.

[rodeo_billy]

Sir, what's a muggle that you be talkin' about?

[chocolatehelps]

Why, non-magical sorts of course. So unless you've a wand about you somewhere, that makes you a muggle.

[rodeo_billy]

Heh, are you trying to be playin' tricks on me as well, Mr. Lupin? Cause I sure don't git it.

[chocolatehelps]

Tricks? Indeed not! Well, not at the moment at any rate. Your hair color is safe for the moment. Hullo, name's Remus Lupin, you seem to have worked that out. Judging from your username you would be....Billy?

[rodeo_billy]

Yeah, the Internet told me, look - Thread started by Remus Lupin . Is your first name really 'Remus'? That there's a funny name.

Yup! I'm Billy Cassidy. What's my hair colour got to do with the price of bread?

[chocolatehelps]

Oh, did it? Smart thing, the Internet. Still don't get how it works, but that's life. It looks like a bunch of strings and bits of metal to me. Amazing creatures, you muggles. Electricity and all.

And yes, that's really my name. Remus Lupin. It's a good name, don't you know your mythology?

...It's got nothing to do with the price of bread. It's got everything to do with tricks, as that's generally the first thing to go. Next is any sense of dignity you thought you may have possessed, so when your hair suddenly turns, oh, say magenta or something? Watch out.

[rodeo_billy]

Well shucks. You sure know how to tell a tall tale, Mr. Lupin.
Figures never lie, but liars can figure, you know?

Why would I wanna be dyin' my hair magenta??

[chocolatehelps]

My tales are generally short, though my tail is rather long, I'm told. Can't generally see it myself, you know. And I can't say I quite follow that second bit there. Have you been hit with a confundus?

Now, I never said it was something you wanted, merely that it might turn magenta. Or any other number of colors, for that matter. And it wouldn't be a trick if you dyed it yourself. Not to mention that dye takes far too much time and effort.

[rodeo_billy]

I was jus' imposin' some wise Texan logic on you there, Mr. Lupin. Think about it for a while. Y'might git it soon.

But how would my hair turn magenta without dye? And I don't WANT my hair dyed, thank you very much!

[chocolatehelps]

I find it amazing how difficult it is to work through your speech patterns even when they're typed out. Where in Merlin's name did you learn to speak?

By magic of course. It's really a very simple charm. Swish and flick, you know. First year stuff.

[rodeo_billy]

What's wrong with the way I be speakin'? My father spoke like this, and my granddaddy before him, and so on! It's the Texan way!

Swish and flick? Mr. Lupin, are you bein' crude?

[chocolatehelps]

Ah, Texas. That would explain it. I'm from Bristol. Live in London these days though. With Sirius, who I believe is pestering you in the thread above this.

Crude? Honestly, no. I was merely referring to the wand movement involved with several simple charms. Swish and flick. Bit of movement, short spell and flash! Your hair is now magenta. Or, it would be if I were there and had actually done it.

[rodeo_billy]

Ah no sir, he ain't pesterin' me at all!

I sure do find it there funny how you two are claimin' to be wizards an' all.

[chocolatehelps]

Yet, at least. He's a good sort. Just a bit exuberant sometimes. I tend to end up with drool in my ears far more often than necessary.

Well, we claim such because we are such.

[rodeo_billy]

You sure are missin' a load o' cards from your there deck, Mr. Lupin. But I'll go along with your little game there!
