second spell - video/action/text

[wer]

[ Back at Hogwarts, Astronomy was one of Remus' best subjects. That's not to say it was one of his favorites, but out of necessity, he'd become quite adept at studying the night sky. That's why, after he'd taken the time to settle in, he'd asked his closet for a telescope and started hitting the roof after sundown. Most nights he could be found up there, studying the moon and stars. It was for this reason that he'd been able to calculate when the next full moon would be (rather sooner than he'd like, but there was no changing that), and also made a fascinating discovery.

One night, from the roof, he decides to share his findings with Wonderland at large. He pulls out his cell phone and records a video. ]

Has anyone noticed that the stars keep changing? I mean, night after night, the constellations are different. Sometimes they're not where they ought to be, and sometimes I see ones I've never seen before. I'd thought maybe I could try and learn where Wonderland is, geographically, but I'm more confused now than I was when I started.

[ He ends his broadcast, then, fiddling with the settings, sends out a message to his friends. ]

[ Private to James Potter, Sirius Black, and Peter Pettigrew: ]

The full moon is the 8th. That's this Wednesday.



[ ooc: feel free to run into Remus either on the roof, if your character is so inclined, or in the stairwells with his telescope! ]

I don't know what the stars look like from America or Italy, but it's a thought. Are you American? You can look at my star charts and see if anything looks familiar…

[formercheerio]

Yeah, I am. I don't know if I'd find anything familiar - I don't look at the stars that much. ( She should. It could be nice. There's a pause, and then: ) But I could still look. I've never seen a star chart before.

[wer]

I'm up on the roof if you want to come up, or I could come to you. It is a bit nippy if you don't have a proper cloak.

[formercheerio]

I'll make sure I get something out of the closet before I come up.

( Good old magical thing )

I'll be there soon.

[ When she arrives, She'll find Remus peering through his telescope, sheets of parchment spread out around him with maps of the stars and drawings of the moon. ]

( Quinn has a light jacket on her, a scarf tucked around her neck also just in case. It had gotten cooler quick in Wonderland, or maybe it would have anyway at home.

Her steps are quiet when Quinn comes out onto the roof, although the noise of the door behind her is a little louder to grab his attention before she speaks )

Hey.

[wer]

Hello. [ He stands up from the telescope, and smiles at her. ] I'm, uh, I'm Remus. Here, come have a look at these.

[formercheerio]

What exactly am I looking at?

( Other than stars and maps, she had that figured out from before she'd come up )

[wer]

These are the charts I've made the last few nights. These stars here, [ He points at a certain constellation, ] were here on Monday, but if you look at Tuesday's chart, [ again, pointing, ] They've changed.
