Backdated to July 30th because I fail and keeping track of the current date

[Phone A, filtered from Lily, James, Remus and Sirius]

Has anyone else have people show up in Mayfield from... really far before them? All these people keep showing up that are about my parents' age, but here they're barely older than I am. I'm... really not sure what to do about it.

[Action: Around Mayfield]

[Neville really is just trying to go about his business, but it seems the drones just won't leave him be today.]

Happy birthday, Neville!

Uh... thanks?

[Person I don't actually know...]

[Action: In front of 1486 Kramden]

[And how is Neville spending his birthday? Tending his garden, of course.]

[Phone B]

So, uh... could someone explain to me why all the drones keep asking me if I'm going to get my license now?

Action! Kramden Rd

[James is on his way to visit Remus (well, that's what he'll tell himself and anyone else. He definitely isn't going there to see a certain redheaded lady, no indeed. Their house is just down the road from Neville's, and James stops by, leaning on the little white fence. smirking a little] Beautiful day for some gardening, isn't it?

[Neville might even believe he was looking for Remus. If he wasn't from the future.]

It is. Herbology's always been the one subject I'm actually good at.

[nonmetus]

[Welp. James' cover is ruined before it began]

That's not something you hear often. I'm awful at it. Always manage to get the plants to revolt.

[infourbooks]

I have a bit of a knack... I guess it makes up for Potions.

[nonmetus]

Potions are a beast even if you are good at them. [Like James is]

[infourbooks]

Potion Masters that have it out for Gryffindor don't help.

[nonmetus]

Do they? Pity. I suppose that dungeon does attract some horrid characters.

[infourbooks]

Yeah... have they always done double potions with Slytherin or did we just have rotten luck?

[nonmetus]

Oh, yeah, of course! It's to build the rivalry, make us compete to work harder, you know. And to laugh at their sorry arses when we beat them.

[infourbooks]

In case Quidditch and the House Cup weren't enough?

[nonmetus]

Obviously not! We need a real fighting spirit, of course.

[infourbooks]

I'm just glad we finally took the House Cup back my first year. They'd been winning it for years.

[nonmetus]

Had they?! Now that's a shame! We should always win, and always get the Quidditch cup. Our team is brilliant now that I'm the captain.

[infourbooks]

The trophies are still there from that.

[nonmetus]

Oh yeah? Brilliant! Or... does that mean we haven't won enough since?

[infourbooks]

Mostly I think you were really memorable.

[nonmetus]

Well, that is what I always aim for.
