Flourish and Blott's; a safe haven.
The smell of old parchment and heavy leather covers.
And the faded ink and crumbly pages.
This place almost seemed untouched by modern life.
I liked this place.
I put the book I'd been browsing through back on the shelf and pick up a different one.

A girl walks into the shop, but I only spare her a brief glance and a nod before returning to the book I was leafing through.
I vaguely recognised her from Hogwarts but couldn't recall her name.

My eyes start to itch with the tiredness of reading for so long and the amount of dust in the old shop.
I sigh and place the book back on the shelf.

I feel a lump appear in my throat at the mention of the name Fenrir Greyback.
I used to pity him, knowing what it's like to transform and lose control, until I'd found out the truth about how he really was.
"You saw a werewolf?" I say, feigning surprise.

' ya it was near the shreiking shack it was with a bunch of animals ' i scrunch my eyebrows together 'why would there be animals hanging out with a werewolf' i ask my self

Post by Remus Lupin on Mar 30, 2007 18:22:09 GMT
"I don't know. Maybe the person the werewolf is, has a way with animals. Or maybe the animals are interested in the werewolf because they know it isn't something they recognise or see often. I don't know." I shrug.

"Greyback?" I ask. "Same with m-...my friend. He was bitten by Greyback too. He used to pity him. But then he found out that what Greyback was like."

'oh im sorry about your freind' i say knowing that other people have loved ones that were bitten 'i wonder if there are any werewolfs at hogwarts dumbledoor would probably let them in'

"Yes, he's kind like that. As long as certain safety measures are taken, there's no problem with werewolves going to school with normal kids. Dumbledore see's it that way. It's a nice way to look at it, I guess." I nod.
