Remus has once again tossed me aside.
Tuesday night was highly… interesting. Lucius Malfoy, an old acquaintance, invited me to share a bit of wine and conversation. I readily accepted, as we have not met in many years. It was tense at first, both of us highly aware that our political views vary wildly. We finally settled on talking about our past. And that trip to Borneo. Before we knew it, it was well past midnight and we were well past sober. Let it be known that I, Sirius Black, accused Lothario of Hogwarts, can, in fact, be seduced. It is true.
Last night was Remus’ transformation demonstration. I was afraid that he was going to turn on me in his anger after his transformation was complete. I am positive that he could smell Lucius on me. There has always been a bit of bad blood between the two of them. The transformation, however, went off without a hitch. If anything, I would say that Remus was downright tame as his werewolf self.
Snape, for his part, handled the entire experience with grace. I am gagging as I write this. Remus stayed close to him throughout the process. It was almost as if Remus was protecting Snape. I suppose it was just Remus marking his territory. Don’t worry, dear Professor, I have no need of him.
