You're well enough to carry your own books, Padfoot. I was referring to that particularly nasty volume on transfigurations that you "borrowed" from the library. Don't want you to hurt yourself.
[He rolled his eyes; sleep wasn't something any of them got at this time of year.]
Oh yes. "Raise your wand across at an angle of 45 degrees before rotating counter-clockwise. Repeat 'Asinus Aurum'. Remember, keep your wrist lucid but not dainty."
[He purred the fake spell instructions before rolling his eyes again.]
Getting sleep is easier said than done, Siri. Besides, I had three scrolls to finish before class since I've been otherwise disposed.
We've done this trust exercise before. I will drop you.
It might be boring for you, I think I will enjoy sleep much more when I'm not up late at night tossing and turning over whether or not you and Prongs will burn the castle down around me. What were you doing with all these?
[He started sifting through the stack Sirius dropped in front of him.]
[He gives a long-suffering sigh, making a show of rolling his eyes dryly at his friend.] Don't you trust me at all? Even if we did burn the castle down, Prongs and I would figure out a way to rebuild it.
[Sirius frowns a bit, arching his brow at the question.] Would you believe me if I said it was for a school project?
[Remus didn't look up from pile of books, but he could feel Sirius's eye roll from his sigh. 'Always the dramatic.'] I do trust you. I just know your tendencies to get into trouble have a pattern of building to colossal proportions.
And no. I wouldn't. Not unless it has something to do with the school rather than for it.
[Grimacing, he took a mental note to remind Sirius that he was funny. He was just more subtle than the show-off.]
This is true. You do spend an exorbitant amount of time with a variety of questionable characters and have a knack for getting into things you really shouldn't. [He let out a sigh] I guess I'll have to help then. Make sure you don't blow yourself up.
[That's okay, Sirius thinks you're kind of adorable.]
Okay, I don't know who these 'questionable characters' you speak of are, and I get myself into things I should be getting myself into. As far as the not blowing myself up... okay, I could probably use your expertise on that one.
[Making a face, he squeezed his lips together off to the side. A common look he gave his friend when he didn't believe him.]
Of course you don't. They'd all have funny nicknames and belong to a secret society. Which is really more of a four-man gang that go on top secret assignments that could get them maimed, killed or expelled. I'm pretty sure you'd know them if you were a frequent with them. And yes. You do need me to make sure you don't blow yourself up.
[Yes, Sirius knew that face well, and he was holding back a groan.]
This secret society sounds nothing like what I'd be interested in. Quite frankly, it sounds completely dull, my good man. [Yes, he had adopted a 'posh' accent there for a bit, but it didn't last long.]

I'm touched by your concern.

C'mon, Moons. You know you've got to get more sleep around this time of the month.

I was just going to... research a bit, try and get a leg-up on some spells. Prongs is too busy spending all his time with Evans, so he can't help me.

Would you like a hand?

Date: 2014-06-08 12:24 am (UTC)Well, it will put me off track a bit. Potentially behind on certain subjects. But I think I can pencil you in sometime. Lets say...
[He holds his chin, pretending to think.]
How does next Spring sound? Unless it's interesting. At which point I'm on board.

Alright, you'll be on bomb disposal duty, then.

Disposal, interception and building I'm sure.
