Loathe as I am to do this publicly, I am uncertain who has arrived and who has gone. The Door seems to have taken a particular interest in our kind of late - to the point of playing a shell game.
It will have to serve. If this applies to you, I expect you will pay careful attention and, more importantly, adhere.
If not, do have some courtesy and disregard this broadcast.
[Snape asking for courtesy? That's rich.]
Remus Lupin made certain to establish an armistice here in Anatole. Those who have been here for some time will recall his efforts and have, out of respect and a desire for peace, continued to uphold that truce.
[...Well, he just asked for courtesy. Is it that much of a stretch to think he might have a little respect for Lupin?]
I am not suggesting that any of us go so far as to exchange wands as a measure of trust. The idea was ludicrous and served only to cause confusion, not to mention the occasional botched spells. However, the war is not here. Our society is not here, and many of us are not particularly eager to fight for either side on principle alone.
There are dangers enough here without us dragging our squabbles to Anatole.
If you are unable to agree to a cessation of hostilities and attempt an alliance of sorts, then I suggest you stay away from one another.
[And that's enough of that.]
If any of you have arrived without a wand, contact me privately. Otherwise, I suggest you do what you can to make yourselves at home. [There's a sort of soft, resigned snort here.] None of us are going anywhere.

And it isn't a question, her response. Does he really need to reply?
Can he blame her for things she doesn't remember?]
It does seem a stretch to suggest it was my own idea; admission of the source would make it better received.
[There. Completely neutral.
Why is she contacting him and why doesn't she remember?]

This is a surprise.
A bad one.
He doesn't come back to respond to this for a very long time. Part of him is quelling the urge to seek Black out and put him down like the dog he is. The other part is wrestling with a faint feeling of resentment: why is it Black and not Lupin? And atop that, disgust with himself for even asking that question.]
Since he so wisely unburdened himself of the company of convicts and swine.

So is this what you were talking about earlier when you said I'd need protection? Not from our people, but other people?

Mmm, with this sudden influx of newcomers from your world - or more generally, from the same world - reminding people is probably a good idea.
This city has already had a bit too much war happening to it, no?

[If that isn't the most passive aggressive, sulky response, nothing is.
He can hold this grudge forever, Yuui.]

[ Yeah guess who's not really feeling friendly ]
[voice]
He's not surprised to hear this voice: Yuui told him Potter was here. He is, however, infuriated by it. It's like nails on a chalkboard. For all that he did for Harry, seven years of sheer hatred on a personal level have given him an almost instinctive response to hearing the boy's voice.
When he was a teacher, he couldn't hex him.
And now that he has promoted Remus Lupin's truce, he still can't hex him. Impotent rage is as familiar as breathing some days.]
We shall see.

[Especially from you, Gellert.]
After all you've learned, does that seem unreasonable?

[And then he looks over the responses, grimacing slightly.]
Somehow I doubt that this lot will see you as the voice of reason.
Private Audio
[Granted, he hadn't thought Sirius would be here at the time of the broadcast: he did it because of Narcissa's concerns.]
Think of it as a warning, rather than a plea for peace. A line in the sand. You've lived here peaceable enough for months now, and with some...acceptance which you might not have displayed before.
[Martha, specifically.]
I refuse to allow some irascible teenagers - or their guardians - to disrupt our respective lives and drag us all in to another war. Particularly now when your wife and son have been reunited with you. If their behaviour must be policed because they cannot accept the terms, so be it.

Nice idea. Does it work?

Generally. There are a few aberrant individuals like Bellatrix who zealously adhere to the politics for which they have been fighting literally all their lives.

Theo would almost like to question the authenticity of this, but considering he's almost sure that there is no one in the world who could possibly imitate this level of distaste and displeasure while offering assistance at the same time--]
With all due respect, Sir, I think there may be more pressing concerns for some of us than upholding social niceties.
[Voice]
[He would be surprised...except for the fact that he really isn't. The Door seems to have favored the Wizarding World this time.]
Your concerns can not be nearly so pressing as the desire to not be murdered by a fellow wizard over a war which has no meaning here. Getting home - or, indeed, merely surviving here - will be far less difficult without a wand aimed at your back.
Do you understand?

She rather hoped Dumbledore showed up so she could give him a bit of her mind, however.
But in the end, Martha can't wait til she is home to see how this has played out, and instead she asks softly:]
Do you think they'll agree?

So complicated that it will take several hours to explain it all. Conversely, it would take far less time for you to explain to me what that idiot friend of yours has done to Spike.
