[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.]

Geographical Oddities; or How to Make Your Grounds Unplottable.

...you know, the perimeter stuff they use for that would be handy.

From:

novumlupine

That could, with some modifications, keep newcomers out entirely during certain times of the month. It's tricky and I'd need your help with that one.

The two below are for finding whatever is currently there. Keep in mind that we're looking for animal as well as human inhabitants - I don't intend to indulge any desires for hunting.

From:

thirdtimelucky

Didn't we use that one for the map? Couldn't we combine the perimeter spell with one to find a perimeter to begin with - or to set one - then tweak the people finder for the map and apply it to the forest?

From:

novumlupine

That was my thought. But I'd rather not go through and physically move every rabbit, so adapt the Undetectable to... convince those we find that it's better to be elsewhere, and have it fade when they leave the perimeter we set? That's a bit Dark.

From:

thirdtimelucky

Not if you restrict it to the night of the full. Set a timing sensor that encourages them all to forage elsewhere for the next three days the night before you change?

From:

novumlupine

Still Darkish.

From:

thirdtimelucky

Yeah... but with good intent? Cutting down on fluffy bunny snacks?

From:

novumlupine

Well... alright, yes.

From:

thirdtimelucky

Of course, yes. Intent is important.

You. Uh. Don't want to leave any so you don't decide chasing me is a good idea?

From:

novumlupine

I'm not going to hurt you.

From:

thirdtimelucky

I know. But you were worried, the other night. Wanted to give you options.

From:

novumlupine

It's less difficult to forget, I imagine, when there are literal fangs involved.

You ought to look through the rest of those books, refresh yourself.

From:

thirdtimelucky

Eh, you're not so bad. [Placating with love?]

Give us one, then? I do know all, but if we're going to create new spells I should reacquaint myself with how not to blow things up.

From:

novumlupine

Considering that one of the things involved will be me, I would appreciate it.

[Study, study... oh, he might as well admit that he needs to lay his head down against Sirius's shoulder and heave a little sigh.]

From:

thirdtimelucky

I can categorically state that I would never blow you up. [But the grin as he drops a kiss into Remus' hair says nothing about other sorts of blowing. Heh.]

...alright there?
