REMUS LUPIN: 26 January, 1976

[synodic_pup]

Dad,

Most horrifying experience of my life is now over. I can safely say that I have forever lost the desire to raise children if it means doing that again. Send Mum my apologies that she will be bereft of grandchildren. Perhaps you can invest in that puppy you never let me have when I was little and sweet and never asked for anything other than a

HUGE amounts of love for this letter. And you, of course.

*smile playing around the corners of her mouth* All right there, Remus?

[synodic_pup]

Send all your love to Remus. I take nooo credit. LOL

*makes a noise that sounds suspiciously like a whimper*
*mutters*
Had to explain the mechanics of sex to a sheltered second year. Just guess how "all right" I am.

[leavingforlove]

Love to Remus, then. :D

*winces* Oh, dear. That couldn't have been much fun. Still, at least it's over now, yeah?

[synodic_pup]

Remus loves Andy back. :D

*sighs*
Could've been worse, really. But yes, it's over, and I can go back to thinking all a Prefect does is rounds and ignore his friends when they're Up To Things. *small smile*

[foreverwidow]

*LOVES*

[synodic_pup]

Hee! *loves back*

[foreverwidow]

Lupin, dah-ling! You seem... distraught. *smirks*

[synodic_pup]

Mm, I wouldn't quite say "distraught", Madeleine. More like stupdendously relieved that I've already encountered my Most Embarrassing Moment, and can now relax for the rest of my life rather than worrying about when it'll jump out at me.

*pops head up in the middle of Remus' letter*

My, my Mr. Lupin. With your......current interests, I shouldn't think your parents would have to worry about having grandchildren, anyway.

*giggles*

[synodic_pup]

*jumps at Myrtle's sudden appearnce, then scowls*
*irritated voice*
What are you doing out of your loo, Myrtle?

*deliberately ignores everything she said*

[outofthetoilet]

*glares*

Can't a girl go for a little stroll on a dreary winter night?

[synodic_pup]

*voice is overly innocent*
Rather hard to stroll when you can't walk, isn't it?

[brave_phoenix]

*randomly passing through the halls of Hogwarts*
*nods a greeting*
Remus! How are you?
*looks him over*
You look... relieved about something?
*raises an eyebrow*

[synodic_pup]

*smiles*
Hallo Edgar! What brings you around tonight?

*laughs lightly*
Bit relieved, yeah. Do you remember a while back I told you that some kid had asked me what sex was?

[brave_phoenix]

*grins at the greeting*
*shrugs*
Oh, just, erm, dropping by to say hello to my little brother...

*nods*
Yeah... yeah, I remember...
*suspiciously*
Why?

[synodic_pup]

*chuckles*
That's nice. Does it embarrass him awfully?

*sighs and shakes his head*
Wrote to his parents to tell them about it. They wrote back and told me that since he obviously trusted me, I ought to be the one to tell him.

*shrugs*
So I did.

[favourite_son]

*wrinkles his nose*
Animals as substitute grandchildren? Didn't I always say that you were abnormal?

[synodic_pup]

*small smirk*

Well I might have suggested that my parents procreate again and hope that their second child might be more inclined to continue the family name, but then that would result in another half-blood in the world, and I really can't see you approving of that, either. What else am I to do?

[favourite_son]

*pulls a face*
Please, there's no need to say something so horrific. I'm already mentally scarred from the thought of you adopting an animal.

[synodic_pup]

*frowns, confused*

I never said that *I* would adopt the animal. Rather that my parents should. That still might scar you, but I feel it is important to be accurate.
