Summary: Remus and Sirius live in an enchanted cottage by the sea. This is Dumbledore's note instructing Sirius how to find it. (Fanart based ondustmouth's very lovely gift to druhkayris, Spinning in Place, and a postscript for it. If you haven't enjoyed this gift yet, please go view it first. You will be delighted.)
Notes: Thank you so much for pinch-hitting for us this year,dustmouth!
It is a small house near Findorn. Travel north--past Inverness, past Nairn. Look for signs for Foress. Follow the mouth of the River Findhorn.
The house will be at the end of Dunes Road, overlooking the North Sea.
Lie low, Sirius. I will send an owl when you and Remus are needed.

Date: 2017-01-13 11:29 am (UTC)I am so thrilled by this, I cannot even put it into words! I felt so incredibly spoilt, waking up to this thismorning.
I've spent the entire day, smiling like an idiot at random times, remembering that you had made this wonderful thing for me.
I am so in love with your map making skills, and the blue print that you did I think last year? I can't believe you made one for me <3 <3
The entire look of it is so amazing- all scrawly and inefficient in the way that only the most magical of things can be. An excellent choice of map, I'd say!
And I love Dumbledore's note at the top. It is all incredibly mysterious and creates such a mental image of their journey to the house.
Oh this is just so, so wonderful! Thank you for creating such a brilliant piece of cartography for me. I'm sure that the marauders would be terribly impressed by you, you wonderful thing <3 <3
