At least the weather is nice today. I am thinking about taking a walk.

[Cottage]

Would anyone be opposed to me bringing flowers in to brighten up the place?

	But at least it wasn't like being cooked in a world-shaped oven. I have gone through so many bottles of sunscreen. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm glad I missed out on that bit. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yeah. It's still warmer than I like, but the summer was terrible. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I've never been to the south States in summer. I've never been to the States at all, actually! Until now! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Me either. It is not exactly what I expected. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's very ... sandy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	zunia 2017-10-11 09:42 pm UTC (link)
	Yes. It is fairly sandy. I work at the Dustbowl Museum. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I need to find a job. So, I figured it out. You said your sister is Lily. Is she Lily Potter? Or did I miss the mark completely? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	zunia 2017-10-11 09:57 pm UTC (link)
	That's always the difficult part. It's got to be difficult to find something similar to home, though. No. That's my sister. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I was an Auror back home. I don't know what I can do here. Ha! Sharp as a tack, I am. I've been to your house. Aren't you the muggle that raised Harry? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I only worked as a secretary shortly. Nothing since then. Yes, I am. Only I don't remember everything that everyone else remembers past 1982. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sorry, yo wonkytonks 2017-10-11 10:23 pm UTC (link)
	Oh that sounds bloody awful. Another timeline thingie! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	s'cool zunia 2017-10-11 10:26 pm UTC (link)
	Well, I suppose there weren't a lot of options at the time. Or perhaps I didn't try to find one. I don't know. Yes. Not long after Voldemort disappeared, something happened and...well, I suppose it's much like a muggle horror film after that. I've spent the last nine or ten years fighting zombies. No one's really sure what happened, just that it did. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I don't know how the muggle job market works. Zombies? Like inferi? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I am only somewhat more apt to explain it than others here. You may have better luck with them. Things are more advanced technologically now than they were when I was working.

Something like that, but I've been told there have always been zombies in the southern parts of the United States. I read a few of the books at Hogwarts out of sheer boredom. Though, this bit of information was relayed to me by my son.

	I know a little, I think. My dad is muggle-born. Always? Another reason to stay away from the US. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	zunia 2017-10-12 12:40 am UTC (link)
	Oh. I didn't know that. ~~At least I don't think I did. Did Remus ever - no, I don't think so~~ Apparently. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wonkytonks 2017-10-12 12:47 am UTC (link)
	Yep! Ted Tonks, destroyer of Black family trees. The heat, the zombies, the accents. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	zunia 2017-10-12 12:57 am UTC (link)
	He is the destroyer of them? The accents are interesting. The heat is intolerable. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wonkytonks 2017-10-12 01:01 am UTC (link)
	Because he's muggle-born and the Blacks are very into the "pure" blood shite. I like jumper weather. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	zunia 2017-10-12 01:11 am UTC (link)
	Oh. Yes, I do remember hearing some about that family. It is nice. It's hard to find clothing that manages to be sensible and keep one from being overheated at the same time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Do you know Sirius? Layers, I'm all about layers. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	zunia 2017-10-12 01:49 am UTC (link)
	Yes. He stayed with us for a while before Pettigrew was found dead, therefore clearing his name. Layers are very difficult here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wonkytonks 2017-10-12 05:40 pm UTC (link)
	Not very long, then? Better than the 13 years he served in my timeline. I wear a jumper in the morning and regret it by the afternoon. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	zunia 2017-10-13 12:16 am UTC (link)
	Yeah. Once the zombies took over, it was hard to keep people in jail. Understandably. The best ones are the wool jumpers. Only here they are a terrible idea. I have a feeling Remus is going through jumper withdrawal. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
