Re: Remus/Hermione
"Thank you. Coming from a witch with your reputation, that's quite the compliment." Remus smiled at her enthusiasm for the subject. He could easily see her being one of his future self's favourite students if she'd approached her school work with this same kind of attitude. "So Harry did get his hands on it, then? That's good. It feels like something that should have been passed down...carefully," he added with a laugh.
"But, here." Setting his drink to float beside him, he reached into his pocket to pull out his journal. He'd been making some notations to refresh his memory of the spells they'd used on the first Map before they got into actually working on the new one. He wouldn't show her the new work, but... "This is the modifications we added for the security piece to work," he explained, holding the book open to the correct page. "See, this rune here along with the change to this calculation is what allows for mimicking four methods of speech instead of one." It was one of the more simple modifications they'd made. He wouldn't give away their real secrets, of course. But, Remus had never met an opportunity to help someone else learn that he didn't like.
