006 - Home?
Now faced with the prospect of moving out of the Leaky after several months, I've come to realize that I have no furniture. I suppose I ought to go shopping, but lately I've just been so... tired. Some days in can't even get out of bed. I feel like I've just been letting time pass by. I've even called out of work here and there, because I just can't fathom the idea of moving.

Private to Edmund Proudfoot
Are you really interested In helping me brush up on my animagus skills?

Private to Rainer Savage
Sorry for my behavior the other night. I get a tad... Well more than a tad emotional when I'm drunk. I should've warned you.

	It's a skill I'm not particularly suited for. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Of course. I know that we don't really know one another, but it's a difficult skill to master and as not many magical folk can - I feel it's important to help pass on the skill when I can. How far along in your training were you when you stopped? And how long has it been since you tried to transform? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I was nearly there -about to take the test, really- but the war got in the way. Now, after twenty years... I'm just worried that I would screw something up if I were to try again without assistance. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Had you gotten as far as determining your form? Knowing that will make re-starting a bit easier, as it were. And your hesitance is well warranted, it's not something that should be entered into lightly - especially if you haven't attempted it in that long.

I have my hands fairly full with a case at the moment, but I should be able to spare some time this weekend - are you free?

	A fox. Though I wonder if that can change over time. It has been twenty years, after all. If you're busy, it's fine. I suppose I can email McGonagall. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

That's excellent - you really were very close to the end of it, then. And they don't usually change, unless there have been significant life alterations since then...in which case they might. The form is tied into the core essence of the person, so it usually remains constant.

I'm never too busy for this - I really enjoy it. I'm free on Sunday afternoon if you are.

	Well, there has certainly been significant life alterations. I was nearly killed, my family was murdered, and I spent twenty years in hiding ~~among other things~~, so... yes, I suppose that is just something I've been wondering about. As a note - my patronus did change. Sunday afternoon is fine. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Ah. Well. Yes. That definitely could cause a change. ~~Wow~~.

Well, let's go with the assumption it's still a fox. We'll try to have you connect with the core essence of a fox, and if it doesn't work there are a couple of ways to narrow down what the new animal form might be.

Excellent. Meet me at the Three Broomsticks - there are some good spots outside of Hogsmeade where we can work on this.
