Huh. Well, that was surprising. He thought wolves were wanderers so more space would be better! "Huh, really? But isn't the point to make her okay with being contained? Less stressed? I would have thought the reverse in a way." Too bad those large bags witches used which could hold more space couldn't be used to contain a werewolf in an expanded space. "It's too bad we can't design a locker like the ones from school to just put you in whenever your eyes start glowing. Then I could keep you in my bedroom all the time."
Patting her leg he chuckled. "I watch out for my girl, gotta make sure she is safe and trying to restrict her breathing just doesn't sound 'safe,' you know?" Regulus did have to laugh out loud when she mentioned the forest column location! "Confusing hikers and wildlife alike! Might pop back out to find a confused bear falling into you when he was rubbing against it for his itches."
Rolling his eyes at her silver comment he tossed his hands up. "And poison quite a few drinkers too yes!" Any liquid metals were questionable in a potion, but actual silver would be like killing oneself, werewolf or not. Powdered silver would be a very different ingredient and transformable whereas liquids worked differently in the way they diffused themselves.

"Ah... perhaps she would prefer that, but my peace of mind thinks otherwise."
New methods of things needed testing before woflie got freedom.
"We can give it more space once we're sure it works and the bangles are done. Then again, bangles will keep me from doing much moving about anyway, you know?"
She grins. "Oh, yes. The plus side of the dreary, drafty, dungeon Slytherin common rooms would be that fact I would be able to curl up in your arms at night."
She then grinned. "Or we could join those noisy parties they seem to have on occasion."
She hums, "perhaps not in that way, no. But there are many ways one can restrict ones breathing safely and make it fun too."
She shook her head. "Unless the bear was my dinner." A laugh.
"Fine, fine, no silver... can't say I didn't think of it though."

Right. Her peace of mind came first. Even at his young age Regulus knew that much! "Gotcha. I'll keep that in mind." She spoke about the bangles and he smiled quietly, enjoying the secret. "I totally understand. And yes, they will restrict her a lot yes. You won't have to ever worry about this piece of art right here," touching her cheek, sliding across her chin with a caress.
A chuckle about the dorm. "Ha! No, not in school! I meant my bedroom actually. Or wherever we are. You wouldn't have to ever worry about others if you were in the trunk and I would be right there to pull you onto the bed when it's all done. Half the thing about being a werewolf is having to seek out isolation right? We could use bed and breakfasts." And what a great dream that was! No more tracking issues.
Well, muggle credit cards could track anyone he heard but still.
She appreciated the bear at least. "Silly. If you can collapse the column in wolf form there would be no command words. That's like the entire point." Yeah she had to work on a lot on getting used to the new ways.

Her eyes closed at his touch and she grinned and leaned close. "I love you."
She waggled a brow.
"What about a footlocker that had some sort of magic on it that it was bigger on the inside?"
Once again giggling at her own joke. She loved making muggle references around purebloods, they never got it.
It was fun.
"Well, you're right about that. Wouldn't want her escaping and eating a neighbourhood."

A smile popped up whenever she said the word love so he guessed he really was in love. In addition he knew nothing of the earlier misunderstanding so thought everything was good between them. No problems was much easier to believe in anyway. "I love you! Wow never thought I would be saying that..." And it felt really good.
Sitting up he turned to look at her oddly. "That is what I've been talking about. Did you seriously think I would put you in a regular small locker?" How did she see him? "Lovely, I am not the type of person who keeps people around till it's convenient." Now his parents, that was another story entirely.
She started giggling and he looked back at her again oddly not getting it and then just laid back down again. Werewolves. Who knew what was so funny about the woods. "Well yeah that goes without saying. While having your brother around for you to fight would be one thing but I think your guilt over anyone else would be horrible for you right?" He hadn't asked this before. ..

[googlefont=Dancing Script] Soon comes the cold, and the night that never ends.
She grinned at him as he returned the sentiment.
She had to test it, and even though he said it kinda with a wonderous sort of tone, he still returned it.
She'll let it settle, for now.
She snickered, "of course I don't think that." She nuzzled his cheek with hers. "Though, uncharmed footlockers are rather spacious. My brother and his friends locked me in one, as a prank, one summer. I rathered it over green hair."
It was one of their lesser pranks, but it still had fueled that anger for being disrespected. Even during summers hols, she wasn't free from the torment. Because she was a Slytherin. The only recluse she could ever get from them is.. well, locking herself in a room, running away, and voluntarily being locked in a school footlocker.
It really was much better than green hair.
She was certainly glad he wasn't that type of person! She wouldn't be if he was. "I know, my love, I know. I wouldn't be here if you were."
She pressed a kiss to his cheek.
Speaking of... "I would have guilt over even my brother. I don't think I would be able to do it." She quirked a smile. "I would make a terrible servant. While I don't really have a side... it would be hard to get me to attack people I do actually care about. Even if I am upset with them."
And that's really where she stood with her brother. Sure, she could leave the country, but he would always be on her mine. Though, if she did leave, she at that point would find herself sending him an owl. Because she knew he wouldn't be able to get to her, nor their father.
Having seen her brother in Hogsmeade though... she wondered if he was there of his own volition and guilt. He looked rather unhappy with everything. She wondered when it was going to catch up with him, their rift.

Having apparently said the right thing, Regulus was pleased. He was not aware of several things about couple dynamics nor stuff he should even now be putting in her place each time he returned to it. Co-habitation would rear it's head later on and he would be just as confused then. "What? For how long?" That was not something you did with a lady of any age! He felt a bit angry with her brother for it despite it happening long ago.
And then "Green hair? Se--Really?"
"True. If my Mother ever caught you, you'd be wearing a chain attached to a collar in the basement. That would be after she hexed you with a number of things and then sealed me into my room." And the way he said "sealed" didn't sound like something simple to undo. His parents were serious about making sure to enforce their displeasure if he was unlucky enough to trigger it.
Raising an eyebrow he questioned this. "Sorry I know you are just saying this, but your wolf wouldn't hold back because of your brother, would she? I am curious how much control she has after a transformation." And almost exactly one minute later "Hang on, how does your brother's werewolf side feel about your regular wolf animagus?"
Knowledge was power.

[googlefont=Dancing Script] Soon comes the cold, and the night that never ends.
She seemed to try to remember.
"It was an hour at least. I remember being rather upset about it, but then again. He has dyed my hair green. I did prefer the footlocker... green hair dye is terrible to try to get out without destroying my hair.... muggle or magic wise."
She frowned at the word 'sealed'. "Well, it's best we keep it under wraps, then."
She blinked, "my wolf recognizes my feelings if that's what you're asking. Again, she is me, I am her. It's just easier to refer to her separately for some things. Because I do, in a way, blackout, and another part of me takes over."
She sighs. "as I said, I am only safe 30 minutes after my transformation because at that point I will be completely aware of my surroundings - rather, in control of them. If you let me out of my column before then, I cannot guarantee your safety, even if she doesn't decide to attack you."
And her brother... "He hates anything deal with the curse. His patronus, my wolf animagus, my patronus... all of it."

An hour. A few minutes as a tease, even Regulus could understand a few minutes of fun, but an hour? That was the way of horrors in nightmares for years! His face twitched at the thought and could not stop himself from speaking about it. "Anything would be better then an hour in a locker Merlin... That would have given me nightmares when I was small. How young were you?" So hair dye was bad?
Regulus had no idea about hair, he really didn't. Did people have a lot of trouble with it? No way! All he did was use a comb and a brush! "Is...is hair that hard to work with? I thought they were always kidding about girls brushing their hair a thousand times before bed." Somewhat defensively he asked her "It really was that bad in your hair?"
"That's what I've been trying to do! I didn't want to, but I don't think there is a safe way to work around her otherwise." His father was one thing, but even other families considered his mother formidable. Regulus' eyes narrowed. "Technically that really isn't an answer. Or are you saying your brother wouldn't be harmed because you know he's really your brother even under the furry influence?"
He had to understand this werewolf thing. Had to.
This was family was starting to sound more dysfunctional then his own. "You know, your brother sounds in big time denial of everything."

[googlefont=Dancing Script] Soon comes the cold, and the night that never ends.
"Mm, had to be... summer of my second year, right before the third year. I think. I kinda pushed it out of my mind. But the locker thing reminded, me."
She laughed lightly. "Well, I don't think it's quite a thousand times, but I do like to take care of myself. You know I like my baths. I find that the rugged werewolf doesn't quite work on me, you know? Unlike my brother, where it seems it just works." She bites her bottom lip. "As for hair dye... yes. If not done right. It's bad. But what's worse is the method I have to use to remove it from my hair. And... magic hair dye is a whole different ballpark then muggle methods."
She shrugs, a sigh. "I get it, I really do. It's amazing I was let into Slytherin, really. Being low class as I am. But, 0here we are."
She blinked at him, "well, he changes and is affected by the full moon the same as I." Had... she not mentioned he was a werewolf too? Both of them had been attacked? She tried to remember. Perhaps not.
"He'd be a wolf at the same time as I am. We used to change together, in the Shrieking Shack. We never attacked each other. Actually, the only time we're safe is around other werewolves or other animals."
Again, a shrug.
"He... really is. It made things difficult, obviously, but the whole not-talking-to-him thing."
She leans on him slightly, she really didn't like talking about her brother. "I tried to work this out with him, but he just wouldn't have it. Stuck in his ways. 'Rose, all those people are just out to kill you and the people you love. You can't hang around them!' Can't get to know people in my own house? Can you believe that? And yet, he and his friends rejected me and I became part of their pranks just as the rest of the house. Like I was a bully."
She scoffed.

Wow, well at least not single digits then, right? "You must have trusted him a lot back then. I think Sirius was still pulling off that-rug-is-alive jokes on me back then. He even had me convinced croûtons were dried out pig brains at one point." Trust had never been a big thing in the Black household back then. "There were a lot of things I grew up thinking I hated because of his teasing. Of course, he never corrected any of those..."
His eyes on her, he nodded. "Not quite the every stream bed type of girl then?" Camping right? She probably knew a lot about camping. He had always been curious about what it was like. "Do those tent things really hold in any heat? They look so thin to me and I've never been able to go." Rugged. No, that was not a word that fit her well and his hand came up to touch her shoulder. "But you clean up really really well..."
Low class high class. There were reasons why some people were kept low, but she didn't seem the type to keep there. "Eh, it's a mix I think. There are people in each class that don't belong there. The surprise ones can really throw you off. I'm sure you could make millions of galleons and if you spread them around you'd be suddenly invited to all the best parties." He held up the hand on her shoulder as he added "Sorry if I ask too much, just trying to figure out the whole interaction thing. Like, never heard anything about how a family of werewolves live with each other or is it like always everyone for themselves."
How much of a danger was Remus? Maybe he'd better add some capture spells to Hogsmeade, nail him down somewhere.
"What?" Regulus was suddenly looking very confused. "That- that's not even logic! I can't remember a single time you were pushing the house in other people's faces like the worse of our house does. And there has yet to be a Lion with restraint!"

[googlefont=Dancing Script] Soon comes the cold, and the night that never ends.
She sighs and shook her head. "Yeah... I was a patient person for a very long time."
She trailed off then, frowning. Making her think about her brother just made her realize how much she missed him. Her anger had been long diminished, which is why she just mostly avoided him.
She sighed heavily and rose a brow. "Do tents hold heat? Well, sure, if you know the right charms."
She snickered.
"I pride myself on cleaning up really well," at this she leaned in to press a lingering kiss to his lips. Pleased with the praise.
She snorted. "Sure, let me cheese my way into high-class social parties and orgies. Sounds like fun. A high-class werewolf! Can you imagine?"
She rolled her eyes. "I'm not much for it anyways. I like having a somewhat quiet life. Separated from the hubbub and politics. Funny, given what I've dived into here, but..."
She shook her head, "no. You don't ask too much. It's expected. You're learning about me. I know you're not just after the casual fuck; not after all we've talked about."
She smirks at him, "oh, Fenrir has his packs, but they're no way considered families. Everyone's scared shitless of him. Believe me, I found some and stayed with them a few days to figure this out. It is not a pleasant place to be, but they can't leave either, or they risk death. Fenrir hates wizards but gives him a wand and he's free to use whatever unforgivable he wants to keep people in line!"
She looks to him, sad expression in her eyes. "It isn't logic, but that's how James and Sirius worked, and Remus treasured his friends more than our bond... so, that's how it was."
She swallowed heavily and looked away, her eyes wet with the unshed tears. She closed her eyes and the moisture trailed down her cheeks.
"I... miss him. My brother. You've been asking so many questions about things that I've been really thinking about what happened... and.."
The words stuck in her throat. It was obvious it was something that pained her terribly. She put up a brave front a lot of the time.
"He is an ass, but up until we started Hogwarts, we were a pack. We had a bond. Those ties aren't so easily shattered. Regardless of human frivolities. I miss him terribly. Even if I'm still angry, or I'm not. I don't know anymore... I just know that I've been missing him more and more."

Had he been so as well? Not really. If he was honest, he had been a little snot, mostly because his older brother was the focus of the family, good and bad parts combined. To get attention he had to toe the line, but give his brother sh!t for not doing the same. Not the best of memories really. "Patience must have helped later on when things were tougher." She had already left him an impression of very bad times. She answered his question about camping simply and he nodded.
"Oh. I didn't think they looked very comfortable, but I've never been in one before either." Why anyone would when they had a house he had no idea, but whatever. She had to do it, it was in the past. Hopefully. "Well of course you do! You're one of the prettiest women I've ever met!" He kissed her back in full approval of her thinking. Then she spoke about a high-styling werewolf and he chuckled. "Hey, you'd sure change the impression people have of them!"
If they did what they had spoken about they'd want to be out of sight anyway. He didn't object to that part much! "I think I need to practice more disguise spells this year." She'd know why without words. Her words actually made him look a little shell-shocked! He wasn't-- Manners. Manners weren't for everyone he knew, but it still took him aback. "Uh, right, I'm not. I hadn't even been thinking about it when you surprised me with it."
He wasn't proud of that innocence. "I really didn't have my priorities in line. You've taught me a lot in this last month for sure." Fenrir? Oh yeah, now he remembered hearing that name. No, he had thought most werewolves were like that to some degree before Hogwarts. She was more education then he would have ever believed. Like now mentioning her brother again. Getting up he moved right next to her wrapping his arms around her and nuzzling his head on her shoulder. "I'm sorry things are rough for you with him, Rose, but you have another pack. You have better options then before, right?"
And that would always happen as life went on. Most families broke up as the kids went out on their own and made their own famil--packs. "We'll be better and he can be jealous of how happy you will be!" And he pursed his lips a moment before adding "And when you are ready we'll send someone to bring him to us so he can see how well you are."

She shrugged. "I guess."
She smirked. "Would you like to go camping? With me? It's fun. Especially in the summer, but not when it's too, too hot."
She rolled her eyes, "would I, really? I sincerely doubt it."
Like her brother, those types of people didn't just change because that type of person showed a different face.
She giggled at his shell-shocked expression. She was sure it was because of her use of language. She had warned him. She rolled her eyes with a laugh.
"So innocent. So Proper. I'll break you of that, eventually, I think."
Right, better options. She nodded. "With you, I'll never be alone."
She turned and grinned at him, resting her head on his shoulder. "He'll be extremely jealous or angry. One of the two."

Camping. Well, if they kept up with the current plan in a year he'd be having probably a lot of experience in camping he supposed. "I suppose I would have to lean on your for the experience anyway in a year" with a thoughtful look on his face "but I'm not sure how to manage that before then. Do you have a tent or would we need to get some things?" He had some impression specific equipment and clothes were needed, but didn't really know.
He very softly snorted. "If someone is using a lot of money successfully, you would definitely make them think about jumping to the normal conclusions." Most of the richest would consider anyone else still someone to crush under their feet for their own advantage of course and a good number of those were in the twenty-six. That wasn't going to change much. He wasn't yet sure things should change much, not while he had to consider his own survival naturally. She laughed at his reaction, but it had just been so blatant!
"Uh, I'll take the proper and leave the other off thanks" as he shook his head. "It threw me off cause I've been taught how to handle the older generation more then the new. Manners with them are a big deal so yeah, have not heard someone say it so out in the open like that before." She probably would if he heard that more often! Long as he didn't start doing it himself...
His head on her shoulder he said softly "Will I still be very useful when I'm out of money, Rose?" He knew he had magic and all that, but galleons still ruled the way of things. Shame. What would he do to make money? "What will I do for work? Hey, did you do anything other then waitressing and such for an income?"
