What's this? Why'd you call it- no, Sirius, stop I-

[ there's a pause, sounds of a struggle and what could probably pass as a triumphant laugh. ]

Right! Name's James Potter. 'pparently you can leave things here for me to read later? Brilliant.
Uh, what am I even supposed to say?

Wait, no, this is my bloody-

[ and the feed is cut off. blame sirius. ]

Don't smirk at me. I can hear you smirking, don't.

You are asking for advice, aren't you?

[ SHOULDN'T YOU BE NICER TO THE PERSON YOU'RE ASKING FOR HELP? ]

What all do you need help with?

With . . . you know . . . when we finally get into bed.

[ . . . ]

Okay. [ not grinning. his voice is completely calm. ] Did you have a specific question or--

[ okay sorry moony but he has to ask: ]

You do know how to do it, right?

Well, obviously, James, I'm not a bloody idiot! I just-- I don't-- I want it to be good for her.

[A few seconds-- and then he gives up.]

No, you know what? Forget it. Forget I said anything, clearly this was a bad idea, just forget I asked--

Whoa, whoa, hey. Calm down, Moony, sheesh. I just needed to make sure where we're starting from here.

[ He's actually being serious at this point, too. ]

See, the thing is that with girls...it's different. For each one. There're some basic things, sure, but most of it you're going to have to find out for yourself.

[Which is, more or less, what Sirius said. Remus exhales sharply.]

I just don't want to be absolute rubbish the first time. What basic things, then?

You're really worried about this, aren't you?

[ James isn't making fun at this point, it's a lot more honest than that.

After a moment he exhales and it comes out almost like a whistle. He's thinking really hard about this, Moony, you should feel honored. ]

Well for one, go slow. Slower than you're probably going to want to. [ boys and their inability to be patient. ] Either she'll like it or she'll try and make you go faster, by telling you what to do. You her first, too?

I, er, dno't think so, no.

[There's the sound of tapping; Remus is totally writing this down.]

Oh, experienced ladies. I'm impressed.

That should help, then, too. She'll know what she likes, what she wants from it. You just have to make sure you give it to her. Sex is great and all, Moony, but what you have to realize is that it's all about her. If she's enjoying it, you'll enjoy it, and if she's not...well.

[ you'll know. ]

And whatever you do, be confident. The only reason a majority of us guys get where we are is because we act like we know what we're doing. Even if you don't. More so when you don't.

[He sighs.]

Right. Bloody hell, but this is complicated. Sirius said about the same thing. Thanks, mate.

You asked Sirius about this?

[ Oh no, Remus no. But ten points for James for holding back that laugh. ]

Just don't think too much, mate. You think too much and you'll end up tripping over yourself. Go with your gut and keep it about her and you'll be fine.

Right. I'll keep that in mind.

[Actually, all this talk about Raven reminds him--]

Er-- you haven't met her yet, have you.

As it so happens, no, I have not.

[ He's not slightly bitter about this at all. ]

Right. Well, she's a little-- I mean, she's beautiful, but she's--

[A beat. A sigh.]

She's blue. I mean, her skin. It's blue. And she's got-- you know-- scales. So just so you . . . know.

Blue.

[ Okay, well. Remus told him about how she has the ability to change shape. Kind of like a metamorphmagus. So it wasn't...strange. Necessarily. Interesting choice of shape, but not too strange. ]

And scales. [ Another pause, just to make sure, and then James kind of just shrugs. If Remus liked her, that was all that really mattered. ] Alright then.

So when do I get to meet her?

[Thank god. Not that he thought James would reject her, per se, or even make fun-- but still. James' approval has always meant the world to him.]

Er-- whenever you like, I suppose. I'm not keeping her away from you.

You're not, no, but you do have to introduce us. I'm not about to go around searching for whatever blue girl I can find on the ship, Remus.

Oh, honestly. Come by my rooms sometime, then, I'll arrange a meeting.

I can be there in twenty.

[ he's kidding ]

James . . .

Really though. It's not like I have many other plans.

Whenever you wanna do it, I'll be free.

Yes, I understand.

[A beat.]

Er. There's something else. There's other werewolves here. And-- and it's not a secret anymore, what I am.

[ a pause, while that sinks in, before a very excited laugh. ]

Really? And they're okay with it? Remus, that's fantastic!

[ but wait... ]

How come some bloke told me to be careful about it, then? Said something about hunters?
