November 3 Note Conversation between James and Sirius while purposely ignoring Slughorn who tells them for the 3rd time of his escapades with Jiminy Sanderson the great wizard who took on a full grown Hungarian Horntail by himself to save the Egyptians:
J: Do you really believe he knows these people?
S: Um… I don't really know. He might be bluffing, but what's the point. Who can come up with the Schribberlygibbet's Convention for Inquisitive Siberian Painter's, anyways?
J: Yeah. How'd he end up in Siberia in the first place?
S: Dude, the S.C.I.S.P. is held in the Dominican Republic. DUH! Who doesn't know that?
J: Wutev… anywho, what do you think of my plan?
S: Sounds good. But if we're going to use the Room of Requirement for figuring out the castle, how're we to know if there are any books on the stuff we find in the castle?
J: I don't really know… but we'll have to try, right?
S: DARN TOOTIN'!
J: Oh, God. I'm rubbing off.
Note from Remus after being show the note between James and Sirius (shown above):
James-- Did he seriously say "darn tootin" ? --Remus
James's reply:
Darn tootin', he did! --James
Remus's Diary, November 3 at midnight:
Today we tried out James's plan of using the Room of Requirement. IT ACTUALLY WORKED! We stood in the hallway and all got our minds on thinking, "I need a plan of the castle." The door popped open and there on that same table we saw last time, sat the plans of the castle. Written on the top was, "PROPERTY OF THE HEADMASTER".
We discovered that we had only missed a few classrooms, but otherwise their were passages galore. Some led to Hogsmeade, some went underground to all traces of the castle and one even led to the kitchens. We copied to whole of it without mercy. The Room of Requirement didn't happen to be on it, but all the same our map was complete once we'd copied it.
Note from James's parents:
Dear James,
We have some bad news. Your blue fireworks went off in the trash can. When you arrive home for Christmas, you are in huge trouble. YOU'RE VERY LUCKY THIS ISN'T A HOWLER! Hope you're having a lovely time at Hogwarts with your friends. Have fun! Learn lots!
Love, Mom and Dad
A/N: Sorry this one took a while. I've just been wrapped up in my Kenshin and Dragon Knights obsession. Okay, well, ya'll got to read my other fanfic! It really is awesome and my thoughts for the future for that one are epically proportionate. If you haven't read Inkheart and Inkspell then grab your jacket and off to the library you go! BECAUSE INKHEART AND INKSPELL ARE THE MOST FANTASTIC BOOKS THE WORLD HAS EVER KNOWN!
