I don't know, Pads. I've never really met your parents. Would something like that really work with them?

[why_so_me]

Probably not. But. It's worth a shot!

[lycanthropy_101]

I suppose...

I mean, you should be careful about lying to them about stuff like that. Make sure not to go anywhere where you'll be seen. Granted, if you're at mine, that won't be a problem, but. James's family is pretty famous, it might be harder there. Look, I just don't want you to get into worse trouble than normal, here.

[why_so_me]

Yeah, true. Hmm.

Maybe I can really do the shack on the beach, then. 'S not like they ever go swimming. Or, you know, I could hide under your floorboards and pretend to be a ghoul.

[lycanthropy_101]

I doubt you'll be spotted out at my place, Pads. We're pretty far off the beaten road. Have to be, with, you know, my furry problem or whatever it is that you and James call it. Can't have that many neighbors, they might start asking questions or, you know, asking us to move.

[why_so_me]

I guess that makes sense. I just hope I can get out of the house and over there first before being angrily chained to the upstairs railing.

[lycanthropy_101]

...have they done that before?

[why_so_me]

Not literally, but they've grounded me and put wards up to let them know if I try to sneak out.

[lycanthropy_101]

Merlin, Sirius. I really mean it. The sooner you get out of that house, the better. Of course you can come over to mine. I...have to tell my parents about it, so it's going to probably have to wait around a week until after we're out, but. My parents are nothing if not understanding people. I'll send you an owl when the coast is clear, yeah?

[why_so_me]

That'd be fantastic. Thanks, Moony; I owe you one.

[lycanthropy_101]

That's alright, I'll just add it to your tab. Though, at the rate that you're going, you might just have to become my permanent indentured servant, by the time we graduate.

[why_so_me]

I'm okay with that so long as I can be fed regularly and have a dry corner to sleep in.

[lycanthropy_101]

Yes, yes, alright. I might even give you toys to chew on, if you're really good.

[why_so_me]

Just don't make my collar too tight.

[lycanthropy_101]

I'll try not to. I can't promise I won't keep you on a short lead, though.

[why_so_me]

That's okay, so long as I'm walked regularly.
