[strayed]

[The video clicks on to show Cora looking really annoyed about the fact it's video. She'd prefer to go text, but if there's the off chance seeing her face will speed this process up, she's going to take it. It's been several hours since the memories started again, and she's already nursing a migraine. If there was one thing she could say she completely hated, these days, it was feeling ill.]

I'm looking for a guy called Sirius. Padfoot.

[Her tone conveys exactly what she thinks of both these names.]

If that isn't enough I've got a head full of waving sticks around and flying on brooms. And motorcycles. Hogwarts. Gryffindor. Regulus and Slytherin.

[That last one might be straying too close to the things she doesn't think she should broadcast openly, and she frowns, looking even more annoyed - even if it's actually at herself.]

Just respond so I can get rid of this damn headache already.

ok
remus is a friend
and for what it's worth, derek calls him pack
he's a wolf but he transforms differently. his hurts and he turns in to an actual wolf. but he uses some kind of wolfsbane potion to keep himself docile
sirius is a friend of his from their world. they're both wizards at the same school
he's kind of the type who uses magic for messing around and practical jokes
so just. idk be careful?

You just let him poison himself?

[Yes, that's the main part she got from all of that.]

I got the general summary on Sirius from the trip through his skull. I'll be fine.

it doesn't work the same for him as it does for us
it's different for a lot of wolves here

just don't let him use magic on you

[strayed]

Do you really think I'm going to let magic anywhere near me?

[he's definitely really damn glad they're not having this conversation in person]

I'm not hiding things.
She knows what magic users are capable of.
You don't need to tell her.

Just ease off.
