I can't believe Princess Di died. We're all mortal when you get right down to it, but seeing someone so utterly untouchable pass like that is mad. I remember watching her wedding when I was a little girl. And making fun of the dress, but it was still magical.

Does anyone know what a sugar glider is? One of my neighbours cornered me outside my flat today and all but demanded I take one. I don't know what it is though.

	Sugar gliders are fantastic! With the big eyes and the long tail and the wingy skin... Lucky sod. ~~I'm avoiding talking about the lady who died since I barely know who she was~~ [Private to Tonks] Are you up for a bit of possibly work-related talk? I have an issue. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	But what are they? Sweets? Animals? I don't get it. -Barnaby- Sure, mate, what's up? No one trying to kill you, are they? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	They're animals. Please tell me you haven't licked one to find out if it's sugary. [Private to Tonks] Just the Cannons trying to shame me to death... It's the Professor Babbling thing. I have a bad feeling about the whole deal. I think my employers at the ~~Prophet~~ are spouting bollocks again. What do you think? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I haven't even seen one yet. She just told me she was going to drop one off tonight. How big are they? Do they poo? Will it eat me? I don't taste very sugary. -Barnaby- Why are they trying to shame you to death? I haven't been keeping up with the Babbling thing much. Er. What sort of bad feeling?

They're tiny, probably as long as your hand but for the tail. It won't eat you; you're not a bug. And yes, they poo. And wee. So you'll need a cage with a few copies of the Prophet on the bottom.

[Private to Tonks]
Just Quidditch--not that important. What is important... I don't think Babbling's on the Isle of Muck. The whole thing smelled rotten from the moment she disappeared... I just have a really bad feeling that something really bad happened to her.

	But what if I don't want one? This woman is a demon, Barn. You wouldn't bloody believe it. Didn't give me any choice in the matter. -Barnaby- Have you tried to contact Babbling? Rather than risk your own neck, if something really doesn't feel right, file your suspicions with the Auror Department. Rather us get fried than you, yeah? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You know what... If you don't want it but you can't not take it, I'll adopt it from you. Fair bargain? [private to Tonks] I've got leave time I'm thinking of taking. I was going to head up there to look for her. Perhaps I'll stop by the DMLE first instead... You wouldn't happen to know who was working the case when she disappeared, would you?

	Fair bargain. You're the best, Barns. She's bringing the bloody thing over later today. -Barnaby- Contact the DMLE first. As romantic as it sounds to head off on your own to solve the mystery, that usually ends in a grizzly death. And I like you loads too much for that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'll see you tonight, then, and free you from your marsupial mummy duties. [Private to Tonks] Aw. I feel all loved and stuff. I'll stop by tomorrow, probably with the sugar glider on my shoulder. The desk sergeant is going to love that... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smokyiris 2011-09-02 03:41 am UTC (link)
	Thank you. -Barnaby- Let me know right before you're going to stop by. I want to see the look on his face. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I remember when her wedding was all over he telly too. She looked like she was drowning in fabric. Shame she's gone though. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Really is a pity, especially for her kids. Oi, you, what've you been up to, eh? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	misterpadfoot 2011-09-02 04:47 am UTC (link)
	Yeah. Least they're not in nappies, so they'll be able to remember her and all. The usual, tinkering in the garage, mucking about in the shop when I'm bored. What about you? Putting in long hours at the Ministry? (Reply to this) (Parent)
