[There's a pile of books beside the beanbag this wolf is sitting in, a collection that seems to dip into some fairly advanced magic. Remus frowns as he flips through the pages. He's decided that he really ought to take advantage of his time here, and this little studying session promises to be the first of many. He seems preoccupied, though, and occasionally stares off into the corner of the room instead of at the pages before him, thinking about all he has to look forward to when he heads back to the cottage.]

It's slightly possible - only slightly, mind you - that you were considering being moderately mopey about it.

[novumlupine]

Now, that, Padfoot. That is preposterous.

[thirdtimelucky]

You dare accuse!

[novumlupine]

I dare indeed, sir.

[thirdtimelucky]

Blasphemy! Outrage! Scandal!

[novumlupine]

[Stop making him giggle.]

[thirdtimelucky]

I can't think of other words. But if I could-- [Fist shake in mock anger!]

[novumlupine]

[Leans in to kiss Sirius's cheek.] Thank you. [Sirius knows what that's for.]

[thirdtimelucky]

[He rubs their noses together briefly.] Welcome.

You haven't even made a list, yet, Moony. What kind of studying is this?

[novumlupine]

Are you criticizing my methods?

[thirdtimelucky]

Yep.

[novumlupine]

Now that's funny, when you know that I could run rings around you academically.

[thirdtimelucky]

Hey. My marks were perfectly decent.

[novumlupine]

Oh, absolutely. Perfectly decent.

[thirdtimelucky]

Is this where we toss around phrases like doesn't apply himself, and doesn't work to his full potential?

[novumlupine]

I'll even throw a scolding finger shake in for good measure, if you'd like.

[thirdtimelucky]

And some private tutoring, to ensure I don't backslide?

[novumlupine]

It will be a hardship, but I might be able to arrange something.

[thirdtimelucky]

It'll be your prefectly duty?

[novumlupine]

Something like that.

[thirdtimelucky]

And you're never one to shirk a duty.

[novumlupine]

[Laughs.] Who speaks that way, "shirking duties?" Except me, of course. Obviously.

[thirdtimelucky]

See? You're already helping!

[novumlupine]

Commence praising my intellectual prowess.

[thirdtimelucky]

Oh, Remus! You're so smart and stuff! You know so many big words, and you can use them in a sentence!
