[ It's only slightlyunsettling to wake up with an unfamiliar lady calling you 'dear,' finding a little girl calling him 'daddy' next was the real kicker. As if Ron could ever spawn a child that looked like that. Actually, come to think of it, why was he even at that house and waking up in that bed anyways? Wasn't he last thrown into a dungeon of

[When Sirius picks up the phone, he immediately jerks it back and holds it away from him as though it's covered in plague germs. After moving it a tentative inch or two closer to make sure the shouting is done, he pulls it to his ear.]

Hello, Ron, mate. Listen, could do without the shouting, right? Phones aren't howlers.

[ Holy crap, he died, didn't he? Now everything made sense. Wait, no, it didn't. ]

S-Sirius?

[siriuslyadog]

Very Sirius.

[Pun, clearly intended. But his tone is grim, anyway.]

I've got good news, and I've got bad news. Which would you like first?

[lightsguide]

I don't know, how bad is bad and will I need to be sitting for this?

[lightsguide]

IS THAT A BAD THING?

[lightsguide]

Why would it make anyone mad? Unless they're the kidnappers in charge. THEM I DON'T CARE.

"Please quiet down. I'm not certain there is anyone to give terms."

[lightsguide]

THERE'S ALWAYS SOM-- Er, oops. There's always somebody to give terms to when you're kidnapped. It's like, in the handbook or something. Besides, everyone keeps answering, that has to mean one of lot is the true evil mastermind behind all this.

"Actually, its just the captives talking really. I suspect that if the captors spoke it may invalidate the experiment."

[lightsguide]

[swornto]

Ow, yeah, hello there. You really don't have to yell!

[lightsguide]

YES, I DO.

You can't be heard otherwise!

[swornto]

Just talk normally and you'll be heard just fine. ( a beat. ) But to the point, I really don't think those in charge are much up for any sort of negotiating.

[lightsguide]

Do you even know who's in charge? Who are you again?

[phone]

[lightsguide]

HARRY!

You're here! We don't have time to talk about yelling, we need to GET OUT!

[phone]

[lightsguide]

Harry, mate, I know the details are a bit fuzzy for me right now but I'm pretty sure we haven't been separated for that long.
