Here it is.  I swear, writing this one was like pulling teeth.  A bored Sirius, a full moon night, and a potentially frightening discovery.

May 13, 1976:

Madame Pomfrey comes for Remus as soon as classes let out, which strikes Sirius as distinctly unfair, especially as Prongs and Wormtail are upstairs working on something for Divination and have left ( Read more... )

I feel virtuous, finishing an hour and a half before deadline like this.

In other news -- it's hot in Georgia.  This hotel has AC, though.

In wedding news -- my mother has infected my girlfriend with insanity.  Vegas is sounding better every day, or y'know, it would if we could actually get married there.

Sorry.  The heat makes me cranky.  Onto the ( Read more... )

Two hours early... ha!

In other news, Stardust is an incredible movie.  I didn't think that it would be able to do justice to Neil Gaiman's writing, but it very much does.  Plus, Robert DeNiro plays a gay, cross-dressing pirate, and does a fantastic job.  I'm not kidding.

Go see the movie.  Trust me on this one.

And now? The airspeed velocity of a ( Read more... )

Hah!  I'm caught up!  (oh, so I'm seven minutes late.  hush.)

This one's short, but the next one should be longer.

Day eight of thirty one -- a dusty Sirius and a studying Remus

May 8, 1976

James and Sirius don't come back until well after midnight.

"You missed dinner," Peter says, as the portrait hole swings open to disgorge the pair of them, messy- ( Read more... )

Day seven of thirty one, in which is mentioned the difference between meteors and meteorology.

May 7, 1976:

Sirius is drumming his fingers on the arm of his chair and bouncing the heel of his boot against the leg in a counterpoint rhythm.  Remus thinks it should sound a lot more like the knell of doom than it actually does.  It is, after all,  a sign ( Read more... )

So, so sorry for the late update.  Still, this one's extra-long, and has some hint of an actual plot.  Plus? I get to leave Alabama the day after tomorrow and go home, home, home.

Here's day six: a swimming expedition, an encounter with a centaur, and hints of dark doings afoot.  (This one's a little more slashy (slashier?)  than they have been so ( Read more... )

After the airport debacle of yesterday, I got the fantastic news that I'll be spending the next four days in Alabama.  I have nothing against the South, but it's hot there and the transportation systems suck suck suck.

Yes, I'm a Yankee.  Why do you ask?

On an unrelated note, The Kill Point, on Spike TV, is one of the best television shows I have ( Read more... )

I got stuck at Kennedy International today, but at least I finished early!  Two served detentions and a Hogwarts lunch.

May 4, 1976

"Bloody Slughorn," Sirius moans, dropping heavily onto the bench next to Remus.  "Three hours scrubbing out cauldrons, and I had to spend the entire time listening to him jawing on about Blacks he's known and sucked up ( Read more... )

Again, I'm cutting this right down to the wire.  Nevertheless, here is day three of thirty one, in which there is a History of Magic lesson and some spilled ink.

May 3, 1976:

"D'you think Binns was this boring while he was alive?" Sirius asks.  At the front of the classroom, the umpty-umpth Goblin War unfolds in the professor's dusty ( Read more... )

2 August 2007

Twenty-five minutes before midnight, and here's the story!  No prompt this time, just a little bit of set-up for some of the stories to come.  Sirius is oblivious; James has a Plan.

May 2, 1976:

"I have a Plan," James announces.  His eyes would be shining behind his glasses if one of them weren't still bruised from Evans' fist.
