So, I've never spoken to you before, but my name is Sirius Black. Your new Warden is a dear friend of mine. Play nice and do what he tells you to do. He's a good man and he'll do right by you if you let him.
Bugger with him, and you'll answer to me.

Date: 2011-08-16 03:35 am (UTC)Didn't know my new warden came with a body guard. [nonplussed] Are you a warden too?
Tag-teaming? Is that even fucking legal?
[Private]
Date: 2011-08-16 03:41 am (UTC)This isn't a tag-team, if that means Remus and I ganging up on you. He doesn't know I sent this. Tell him if you want. He'll yell at me. That's fine. Doesn't change anything. If you hurt him, I'll end you.
Re: [Private]
Date: 2011-08-16 03:46 am (UTC)[Why the fuck can't his friends be here if this guy was here? Remus had been nice, kind even-but Hoffman was suddenly jealous and annoyed. So much for a warden as devoted to his interests as Sarah.
So much for a person who had to be his friend.
Hoffman's expression goes blank.] He doesn't do shit to me, I don't do shit to him. I'm surprisingly fair that way.
Re: [Private]
Date: 2011-08-16 04:03 am (UTC)[Granted, there were, oh, sixteen years in there that he didn't know anything about. But half of his lifetime to date was still a long time.]
Good. That's all I ask, that you don't hurt him. If you don't agree with his policies or whatever else, find a way to tell him without resorting to violence. He'll listen to you. He may not agree with you or do what you say, but he'll listen to you.
: [Private]
Date: 2011-08-16 04:14 am (UTC)[He tries a bid for power. Still.]
Listens to me. Listens. We'll see. [He does not believe you.]
[Private]
Date: 2011-08-16 02:02 pm (UTC)He'll listen. He's very good at listening. I'm the worst sort of moody prat, and he's always been there for me.

Date: 2011-08-16 07:17 pm (UTC)I don't know. I guess the Admiral doesn't want it that way?
Re: [Private]
Date: 2011-08-16 07:47 pm (UTC)He didn't have the facts yet. So he draws in a breath and nods slowly]
Fair enough. We'll see how this works out. Too fucking early to make decisions like this.
I've had two wardens since coming here and your friend makes number three. We'll see how good he is at this shit.
[So far the man has just been nice and saved him from being blind. That's...Hoffman still doesn't know what to make of any of this. It's taking a lot for him not to throw the whole thing out the window.
Make decisions. Decisions.]
[Private]
Date: 2011-08-16 07:54 pm (UTC)But I like the one I have now. He doesn't know the first thing about magic, but it's almost nice in a way.
Re: [Private]
Date: 2011-08-16 08:00 pm (UTC)Magic?
Like, turning people into shit magic?
Re: [Private]
Date: 2011-08-16 08:44 pm (UTC)Yes, magic. I'm a wizard. [He...has no idea how to answer that question.]
Actual shit? That's disgusting.
Re: [Private]
Date: 2011-08-16 09:36 pm (UTC)[hoffman lets the sally about his blue-collar language pass] Cute. Real cute.
This Remus guy know you're a wizard?
[Private]
Date: 2011-08-16 09:57 pm (UTC)Yes, he knows I'm a wizard. [And...Remus needs to be having a chat with his Inmate, but Sirius isn't going to be the one doing it for him. He doesn't want to interfere if Remus is keeping that from him for a reason.]
Re: [Private]
Date: 2011-08-16 10:19 pm (UTC)[Straight up very fair question.]
Re: [Private]
Date: 2011-08-16 10:50 pm (UTC)Re: [Private]
Date: 2011-08-16 11:23 pm (UTC)[Hard to explain]
Jesus fucking Christ this should not be this hard to explain.
Re: [Private]
Date: 2011-08-16 11:27 pm (UTC)Of course I don't bloody torture people with magic.
Re: [Private]
Date: 2011-08-16 11:33 pm (UTC)He drew in a breath.]
I...
...Have been on the business end of angry wizards and witches so it sort of. [pause] slipped out.
[Private]
Date: 2011-08-16 11:47 pm (UTC)It's alright. If that's all you know, I don't blame you for thinking that's all it is. I'm not a dark wizard. Remus isn't either. We both fought against the bad sort in a war. Actually, two wars, only for me the second one hasn't happened yet.
Re: [Private]
Date: 2011-08-17 12:43 am (UTC)[Hoffman might relax by a hair. Then he puts two and two together.]
So your friend's a wizard too?
[he holds up a hand] Don't worry, I won't ask him the same question about torturing. Contrary to what the rest of these fucking idiots think I know about...friends. And what you'd do for them.
Re: [Private]
Date: 2011-08-17 01:06 am (UTC)Yeah, he's a wizard. But he's one of the good guys. He was the best of us, really. He always followed the rules.
A lot of people don't get that. The friend business.
Re: [Private]
Date: 2011-08-17 11:39 pm (UTC)[to himself] good god, they stuck me with Gibson. [Stickler for rules. Probably a guy with a stick up his ass. He shakes his head for a moment]
No they fucking don't.
