"I'm not," Sirius quickly denied, though not exactly convincingly. He knew he couldn't lie to Remus. Not that it would stop him from trying. "I've been busy. You know, wands to make, places to be, people to do. Tell me more about that beings stuff, it doesn't sound boring at all. You know I care about the werewolf legislation, and I've been researching the Goblin stuff too. I'm helping Roxanne make the wands, after all. Figured I'd learn Gobbledygook, get ahead of the curve. You can talk to me about your work Moony. Even if it wasn't interesting I'd still listen. Are you actually working on ghost stuff too? How does that figure in?"
