Fifteen Phases

[lupusnonfacit]

Oh, no. This isn't very good.

This isn't very good at all, I don't think.

And with only a couple of days. More than an inconvenience, really, but as disturbing as those problems may be, my own problems can't even be the worst of it.

Not good.

Hm? What's up?

[lupusnonfacit]

Severus Snape has gone.

[the_wheezy]

Oh. Well that's--

2/3

[the_wheezy]

Hm.

[conjury]

Are you alright?

[lupusnonfacit]

I'll live.

Sorry, that was somewhat rude of me actually, there's been a minor setback, thank you for your concern Merlin.

[conjury]

That's all right. But what's-

Is it because of the last curse?

[lupusnonfacit]

This curse, certainly not. A curse, partially. A colleague of mine has gone missing at a very inopportune time and, predictably, I have no Plan B.

It's complicated, really complicated. But survivable.

I'm- I'm trying to go through his notes, but they're difficult.

It won't work in time for this cycle, will it?

Regulus isn't a very good hand at potions either, is he?

Two days? Not unless you've got a miracle hiding up your shirtsleeve.

No, he's- well, between him and Neville, I'm honestly not sure who're fare better.

The potion might take longer for me to master, but I'll- I'll try. I'm sorry, Remus, I'm truly sorry.

Perhaps I'll search around the store a bit longer... surely he must have left some stores of it around.

If I recall, I was once informed (and somewhat disapproved of) the fact that you managed a Polyjuice Potion in your second year. I honestly don't think it's beyond you, although the both of us are aware that I think you're particularly talented.

This shouldn't be your responsibility, though.

[lionesscouchant]

Professor?

[lupusnonfacit]

Everything alright, Lucy?

[lionesscouchant]

Well, I feel like I should ask you that.

[lupusnonfacit]

I've got all of my fingers and toes, so I'll be fine. It's just that someone I worked with has left and left at a bad time.

Though I don't know if there is a 'good' time for that.

[adamantined]

All you can say is 'inconvenience.

[lupusnonfacit]

We didn't have the sort of relationship that gives me the right to say anything more.

[adamantined]

That doesn't mean it's just an inconvenience.

[lupusnonfacit]

What would you have me say?
