This is the wrong journal for this but HARRY!!!

Someone needs their childhood buddy but someone also needs their canon childhood buddy's kid as well AKA hello I play John Lyall aka Remus Lupin here and I would LOVE to work out something of a backstory with you?? John has been an English Lit prof at the University for nearly a decade now so it's possibly Jamie could have had him? Especially if he were in Derek's class!

tl;dr I'm so excited

[phoenixchild]

(Evil laugh) Oh yes, indeed! Two for the price of one. I actually would love to take it. We shall inform the Draco/Derek player about it, I really want to talk to them already.

[reticence]

ALSO it looks like Jamie has a deeper appreciation of English/writing than some of his classmates would have, I've always said that John's teaching style was kind of like Keating from Dead Poets Society, which means that people who get it really love it and him and then there are probably those who don't get it and think he's just plain weird. He might have been associated with some clubs through the years, maybe not which is a roundabout way of saying how much do you think Jamie appreciated him as a professor through the years/how well do you think he got to know him while at RU? :)a

[phoenixchild]

Oh... I saw Dead Poets Society myself, it was quite heartbreaking in the end. Well, Jamie might have him as an entrance exam proctor firstly before he found himself in Professor Lyall's class along with Derek and his current sweetheart. Let's just say that they hit it righ out of the park with their interest in Literature and Prof Lyall could give tips in writing for news, mabye he could be the head of the Book Lovers Club in Recolle U during Jamie's time there. As I mentioned above, Jamie just loves to troll around couple shippings, even pairing Derek with his crush on said girl before they could date each other officially. Even though Jamie wasn't heading for a full-on Lit degree, he still can keep in touch with Prof Lyall even to this day.

You can thank Jamie's adopted mom for his love for Literature and Writing as a whole, she's a former English high school teacher.

[thole]

Then John certainly does thank her, because he thinks reading and writing are some of the most important skills a person can have, no matter what profession they can go into what is it with you Remus and getting along with Harry's moms...

ANYWAY that sounds brilliant to me c: I can see John not staying on as the head of a club forever, especially because I'm going to start phasing him into high school classes rather than at RU so maybe he turned over the Book Lovers Club a few years back but he was helping to run it while Jamie was there! He'd be more than happy to give tips on writing and help Jamie out by giving him all sorts of extra reading material/practice on the subject, and ofc he'd have been more than happy to write/act as a reference on Jamie's behalf for his professional career! I'd love for them to still be in touch -- John, like Remus, is kind of a lonely bachelor. His wife died so he found himself a teaching job in America at RU and he's been there ever since. (Also similarly to Remus he's technically Professor RJL, Randolph John Lyall, but who wants to be called Randolph anyway, so John it is!)

[phoenixchild]

Sure thing. Not a problem at all.
