005 - Animagi
I've been giving it a great deal of thought, and decided that I am going to resume the studies I had nearly completed twenty years ago and become an animagi. Unfortunately, as magic was not nearly so important to my life when I was away from England, I am feeling a bit rusty and out of practice. It's hard to remember the time when I was a skilled duelist and a transfiguration specialist. It seems so far away (and I suppose it was).


James, Sirius, Peter
You are all registered now. How are the final stages of becoming an animagi? It is going to take a lot of work for me to ready myself to that point again, and my memories of doing so are a bit foggy. Also, what does it take to become registered? I can't remember.
/

I'm also on the market for an apartment. Any suggestions? I absolutely hate searching for a place.

Actually, I'll be moving out of my flat soon. It's a two bedroom - I converted the second bedroom into an office. Hestia and I just bought a house that we'll be fixing up and she still has her place in Hogsmeade in the meantime.

So if you want to take a look at it soon and you like it, we can just pack all my stuff up and store it in the new house and I'll just stay with her until our house is ready.

Really? That sounds fantastic. Though, I would never ask you to move out of your place before you are ready. Take your time.

I would love to come look at it, if possible. What is it going for?

We're looking to be into our new house by August, so really, this will just be motivation to get my things packed away. It's no trouble at all. We've been spending time between our two places, anyway.

I'm free Monday after work, if you'd like to stop by then? It's affordable and in a nice neighborhood - my landlord would be willing to negotiate, I'm sure. I've been in this flat since I was twenty, he likes me.

That sounds excellent. I start work at 10PM on Monday, do you happen to have time between work and then?

Is he willing to rent the place rather than sell it? I'm not financially sound enough to make a purchase.

It takes a bit of work, but you can get back into it. Hestia and I have been dueling together for over a month now, just because I know I was a bit rusty whenever I was attacked.

If there's anything I can do to help, let me know.

Perhaps we should duel, then. It has been quite a while for me, and I am certainly rusty.

And, admittedly, lately I've been a bit nervous about Mulciber certain Death Eaters that keep making their presence known.

Is there a certain day or time that works better for you?

Anytime before eight or ten on most weeknights. I've been working bar shifts. I really need to find a better job.

We all know how that would end. I would punch you in the face, and there aren't any professors to pull me off of you this time. So, if what you want is a broken nose and to black eyes, sure.

You think so? I always knew you loved a good bloody nose. Challenge accepted.

Except not.

I know a quaint place in hell where you could stay.

While it's great that you want to rent out your permanent residence, you can back the fuck off now.

Now now, she asked for a suggestion and I gave her one. And I don't live in hell, but If I did I wouldn't dream of renting my place to her.

Unfortunately, your advice is worth less than horse shit, so. Tough fucking break, yeah?

Tell me how did you manage to escape death?

Unless Hell has frozen over, then I can't say that I am.

Merlin, don't you Death Eaters actually talk to one another? I figured you would all know by now.

Excuse me, but, is the study to become an Animagus very hard? I think that maybe I'd like to do it.

[info]_dorcas_

It is very physically and mentally taxing. A mistake during a transformation can result in irreversible damage. That is why so few people are actually animagi. However, if you're interested, I'd be happy to help you work in that direction. How are your transfiguration skills?

I'll be honest... I'm not the best or the brightest. But I am the hardest worker, the most dedicated, and I do want to learn... I've passed all my exams so far, and I just scraped an E in Transfiguration. Do you think that I could do it?

I realize that we are strangers, allow me to introduce myself.

My name is Auror Edmund Proudfoot, and I am also a registered Animagus. If you would like to practice your transformation work at any time, I would be happy to work with you. Just send me a message.
