hh_mirrorDear Ryuuji,
Trying to figure things out. I know you are too, and I hate to trouble you; regrettably, I will be busy for some time with this particular research project. Please make sure nothing explodes while I am otherwise occupied. Also, please factor something of a time delay into your arrangements with Cox. I would not have him think me reluctant to settle our dispute on the field of honor, but some matters take precedence over dealing with the likes of him.
Have not heard from McGinnis again; would let you know if I had.

Dear Susan,
I have thought much about what you said, when we discussed certain matters having to do with time. I will be researching this very intensively for the next little while; I tell you this so you will not worry if you look for me and I cannot be found.
Take care.

I am trying to figure out what happened. Do not be alarmed if you do not see me for some time.
S. Maturin.
Remus,
The lake will have to wait, I am afraid; something has come up. I do wish you luck with your friends. Contact Ryuuji should a certain one of them need Calming Draught.

Date: 2006-05-27 04:28 pm (UTC)Best of luck with your project. I will do my best to hold down the fort in the meantime, and will make sure to not schedule the duel for at least a week, unless you think more time is needed. I'll also see about keeping everyone else out of trouble, as usual, and make sure that no unruly House Elf mischief is caused.
Thanks. Only one week left before he's back, I hope.

Date: 2006-05-30 07:34 pm (UTC)Ah. Would you like any help? I must confess that I find myself with
absolutely nothing to take my mind off waiting for Terry to get backfar too much free time. I'm spending a lot of time in those dorms, lately. I could always play gofer and bring you anything you might desire.~Ryuuji

Date: 2006-05-28 12:14 am (UTC)Thank you for the well wishes. Hopefully the Calming Draught won't be needed. The lake will still be here when you get back. I hope you're doing all right.

Date: 2006-05-30 12:51 am (UTC)The lake is indeed still here, as I happily found today, having emerged from the library for a small boating excursion. I also see the school is in one piece, so I deduce the recent troubles are at an end or nearly so.
Of course I am all right, have never been better. Looking forward to our next expedition.

In your absence, I have acquired a new friend - Sarcophilus laniarius by name (though I prefer to call her Ella). You'll get to meet her soon.
cheers,
Remus

Despite your assurances, I confess I am concerned, andI hope that it helps, and that you are well. Do not hesitate to contact me if ever you need to.-S

Date: 2006-05-31 01:06 am (UTC)DearStephenProfessor MaturinStephen,I do not mean to pry, as I know you said you would be gone some time, but
I'm worried about youI wanted to make certain you weren't too occupied with finding out more about all of this. I don't want my appearance to have altered your day-to-day life in any way.Sarah
no subject
Date: 2006-05-31 01:17 am (UTC)DearSarah,How could it but alter my lifeI would not have you blame yourself for anythingI missed you the whole time andI have no answers yet, but I mean to have them.

Date: 2006-05-31 01:58 am (UTC)DearestStephen,I appreciate all the work you are doing.
I want to see you again.If I can be any help at all, even reading and outlining books to give you the notes, please let me know.Sarah
no subject
Date: 2006-05-31 02:05 am (UTC)My dearSarah,Anything you can find out would be immensely appreciated, of course.
I have wanted to see you again for ages; I did not dare.No book in the Restricted Section has helped thus far. I have begun to query applicants.- S.
no subject
Date: 2006-05-31 02:11 am (UTC)DearestStephen,Perhaps asking people would work better than the books. There is one person I could ask that would lay a great deal of this to rest. Not that he would help me without a price, but it could still be worth speaking to him. I can do it to help us.
Sarah

Date: 2006-05-31 02:12 am (UTC)My dearSarah,You are to consider this may be what he planned all along. I would advise against your seeking his help, particularly as you say he would exact a price from you.
now I will worry even more- S.
no subject
Date: 2006-05-31 02:17 am (UTC)DearestStephen,I know, if he is involved, that he is waiting for me to ask him. However, I don't want his help, just answers.
Seeing him is a whole new problem, but I'll do it.Believe me, I will watch my words more carefully than I did when I was fifteen.Sarah

no subject
Date: 2006-05-31 02:58 am (UTC)DearestStephen,I would, but I wouldn't want to upset anyone by showing up at the wrong time. I don't want to cause you any problems.
I wish I could take you with me.Sarah
no subject
Date: 2006-05-31 03:01 am (UTC)My dearSarah,On this I will brook no argument from anyone. You may consult me at any time, wherever I may be.
I wish it were now- S.

Date: 2006-05-31 03:16 am (UTC)DearestStephen,Thank you, I appreciate that. I hope I am able to bring you something worthwhile when I do
and am not completely upset when I get there.Sarah
no subject
Date: 2006-05-31 04:36 am (UTC)My dearSarah,Would there be any way at all to dissuade you from this course of action?
-- S.
no subject
Date: 2006-05-31 04:42 am (UTC)DearestStephen,If you only knew all it would take is for you to tell me no.Why would you want to? If he knows something, I can find out, even if I don't find out exactly what he knows right away. If I don't like how it is going, all I have to do is walk awayeven though it's not ever that easy.Sarah
no subject
Date: 2006-05-31 04:49 am (UTC)My dearSarah,Why would I want to dissuade you? Surely you need not ask why. Should something befall you --How will you tell whether he knows something or merely pretends to know something?What if he will not let you leave?-- S.
no subject
Date: 2006-05-31 04:59 am (UTC)DearestStephen,Actually... I don't really know how I will tell. I just know I need to do something and he needs to be confronted in some way. I don't intend to let it get out of hand, as much as I know he wants me to hold and use one of his damn crystals.
I'll be fine.It's the only way to learn anything from him, it does us no good to search in the wrong direction.Sarah

Date: 2006-05-31 05:01 am (UTC)Take care, sweetheart.
