September 3, 1971
REMUS approaches the doors to the hospital wing, which are already ajar. He enters to find several students lying on random cots throughout the large hall. POPPY is attending on PANDORA, who has bandages on her right wrist.
POPPY: Be sure to keep these on tight for the next few days.
PANDORA: Thanks again, Madame Pomfrey. No matter how hard I try, these old wounds keep reopening themselves, and then they never stop bleeding.
POPPY: It's a common ailment. Stay away from any strong herbicides in Potions class. Now, be on your way! I don't want your teachers complaining about how long I've kept you.
PANDORA rises and makes her way out of the hall. As she passes REMUS, she offers him a small smile. POPPY waves over to REMUS.
POPPY: Ah, Mr. Lupin. Step into my office here, if you would.
REMUS follows her into her office, and shuts the door.
POPPY: You are aware that the next full moon is this Sunday?
REMUS: Yes, ma'am.
POPPY: So we will have to enter the safe house before dusk, to be safe, and you may leave the following morning.
REMUS: Yes, ma'am.
POPPY: I've seen the place, and I do believe it will be suitable. I'm sorry, son, but these are the precautions that the Headmaster sees fit to instal in order to maintain the safety of the other students.
REMUS: I understand.
POPPY: Very well. I'll meet you at the entrance hall at five o'clock on Sunday.
REMUS: Thank you. (He leaves the office, and takes a look around the quiet and peaceful hospital wing before he sets out into the corridor, alone once again).
