Notes: This is old and the beginning of a story I don't realistically think I'm likely to finish. (I am setting it free.)
Remus could live in filth. It was not important to him that the kitchen be spotless. The ants were friendly. The cobwebs were just fine where they were, thank-you. The moths that fluttered about and somehow ended up in the shower made life more interesting.
Each day was enhanced with the knowledge that a rogue piece of cutlery might make itself known to you at any moment. Dust was inevitable; the only sensible course of action was total surrender.
Washing served only to wear out the sheets. Dirty laundry, it had been scientifically proven by Muggle scientists, was the equilibrium state of all clothing. The washing was done only, only, when there were an embarrassingly small number of clean pants remaining.
His room was as it should be. This interest on the part of others in carpeting and hardwood flooring was bizarre and tedious. His filing system was unmatched by any institution. He could always find whatever book, newspaper clipping, scroll, or any other piece of paper he was looking for. He was organised.
