Order Only Private Message to Remus Lupin
Aug. 26th, 2014 09:55 pmRemus, in the course of my travels this summer I've collected an assortment of things I thought you might find interesting or useful, all of them small enough that I've tucked them into my portmanteau and carried about, thinking that the right moment would come to add a quick visit at Grimmauld Place to my itinerary. How we've got nearly to the end of August already, I've no idea, but if I don't get these items to you now, I'll quite miss my opportunity to look at them with you.
The first is a quite an ingenious glass for seeing who's coming up or down the Conduit before they reach the shop.
Then there's a proper door warden--a lion with a rather severe manner about him. If the wrong person tries the knocker, I imagine he might take the hand off at the wrist. I like him. However, while I feel certain he'd quickly learn whom one trusts to enter, I do think, really, he'd send the wrong sort of message if I were to hang him on the entry to the hospital wing. I thought, perhaps, you'd find him useful, though: perhaps you'd have fewer visits from your local Watchers.
There's also a good, strong finding stone. I've tested it over a few miles distance, and it works a charm. I believe it could be used as a directional stone, as well, if you asked it to point you. If you don't have a use for it, perhaps you could hand it on to one of the people who pass through on their way Elsewhere.
And I've an assortment of other things: a pair of amulets warded against night dangers, a nice package of copying parchment that will take up an image from anything you ask it to copy, a pair of decidedly dodgy dice, and the thing I most want you to have a look at--a book to tuck in a robe pocket that makes a list of the names and details of anyone you meet. It's worked a treat for me in a variety of settings (gave me a complete roster of my companions last night at the Cap and Bells in Holyhead, for instance).
I don't suppose you're still up this evening, but perhaps tomorrow? I've several stops in the morning, and an appointment at one o'clock in Tutshill, but after that, I'd be free to pop through either to the shop or to Grimmauld Place.
