Technically technical all the time Bookaholic Poppy couldn't help but smile at his nickname for her. He certainly was a a very charming kid so, she decided to let his little indescretion go. "Well, I suppose I can overlook what you did to Mr. Snape, just his once. But, I want you to keep out of trouble from now on," she said. Sirius gave her a genuine smile and insisted he would be good from then on, but she knew better. Poppy could see in his eyes that he was going to be a troublemaker and probably end up paying her a visit at least once a month....
Thinking about seeing a student once a month, she remembered that she needed to start preparing for Remus Lupin's special requirements. The full moon was fast approaching and she was supposed to help oversee the planting of a rare, whimping willow at the start of a tunnel which had been built to lead down to a house in the village of Hogsmeade. "Well, I'm afraid I have some business to attend to. But, I'm sure your friends will be along at any minute to visit," she said and then fluttered off to her office.
