Who: Remus Lupin
Broadcast:
When: January 14th, early evening
[Remus sits on the floor in James' room, back against the bed, holding the communicator in one hand. The other is tangled in his hair; he pushes his hand through the tangled curls again and again throughout this little speech. Still, he smiles pleasantly enough. This first part is easy, after all.]
Right, hello. My name is Remus Lupin, I've been here a few months, and I've noticed a bit of a trend among those taken. There's quite a few of us with-- well, abilities, for lack of a better word. Abilities that most human beings don't have. They vary, of course, but-- it's an odd consistency. I've met more people with magic than I usually do in a year. Something to think on, perhaps.
In any case: even if it's a meaningless connection-- something that has no significance beyond sheer entertainment value-- I'd be interested to hear what everyone can do. Whether you call it magic or alchemy or even if it's-- god, I don't know, if you have a talent for juggling, I'd be interested. I want to know more about what kind of company I keep.
[His smile fades, now, and he hesitates visibly.]
For example, I, ah. I'm a wizard. Wand and all. I can do magic, which means anything from transfiguration to charms to knowing what plants to use to brew a good cold remedy. It's hardly infallible, but it's certainly useful. And, ah . . .
I'm a werewolf as well. The sort that only changes once a month. It's lasted here, but I seem to have control over it. I take quite a few precautions, so-- so it won't be a problem. I'm not the only werewolf here, nor the only other supernatural creature, but--
[He shrugs. His face is pale, now, the little scars standing out sharply against his skin-- but he forces himself to keep talking.]
I'm used to keeping it a secret at home. And I'm sure others are as well. So I suppose this is a . . . a way to let everyone know. Even if they don't want to tell anyone else, they know they're not alone.
[His mouth twists in a wry smirk.]
That, and I'm tired of keeping it a secret.

Sounds like maybe you did too. You all really became animagi without anyone finding out. How? [In the curiosity there was also the one that she was impressed.]

[ james, sirius, and peter are quietly very brilliant students ]
Lots of hours of hard work and muckups.

[That was absurd, there was no way such young wizards could do that sort of magic. Let alone get away with it.
But, hadn't they often vanished? Come in late at night with no witnesses to how they'd done it. clearly the proof was in his ability to do it.]
That's actually impressive. I meant it, really impressive.
video; private
[ so. the sooner the start, the better. the moment it was discovered, they set to work. ]
And thank you, though you'd have to congratulate Sirius and Peter in turn. We wouldn't have been able to do it if we hadn't worked on it together.

[But..second year? It was powerful dangerous magic. And they had not only managed it but each other them had made it their own. It was, well it was sort of incredible. So much for thinking he was squandering his brains on pranks all the time.]
You're not what I thought you were. [She shook her head in amused if begrudging admiration.] The lot of you I mean.
[Right, because otherwise it would sound like a compliment.]

We'd get caught if we were stupid, Lily.
[ a bit teasing
have a bit of faith jeez ]
video; private
[Damn teasing ... She tried not frowning and looking apologetic at the same time. Her face only had room for one expression. She went with casual.]
No wonder you always scored so well on your OWLS and NEWTS.

[ that and a lot of natural ability, but hey ]

[Clearly they had but she was hit with a lot of new information in a short period and she was still adjusting.
According to Remus we all get through school well enough. So it must work for you.
