“He can control his wolf?” Remus looked over the table to the younger man who smiled and nodded. His one real eye shined with knowledge as the other gleamed under the lights of the cape.
“It took time and he can lose control if he is pushed to far,” Xander replied, taking a drink of his soda. “I have the journal he wrote during that time. It talks about how hard it was to find the mental balance needed to accept his inner wolfiness but it gives all the steps to controlling the abilities and transformations that comes with the virus.”
“It sounds like I may need to leave for somewhere quieter,” Remus mused, tapping the table top as he gazed out of the windows.
“You’ll want somewhere stress free and where the land isn’t soaked in magic that has been tainted the way it has been,” Xander stated, the wolf looking at him in some curiosity.
“What do you mean by that?” he asked, wrapping his hands around his coffee cup.
“First of all, muggle borns are chosen by magic to add new blood to the lines,” Xander started, frowning. “So each time a so called pure blood line intermarried instead of a new line, they taint and weaken their magic. You do that enough and you start getting squibs.”
“So that’s why we get witches and wizards from families with no magical blood…” Remus mused.
“Yeah. Another way the magic is becoming tainted is because you guys use wands as focus’! You should be learning to use your magic by the time you’re 4,” Xander stated, pointing to Remus’ wand. “Hell, Merlin didn’t need a wand. What you call wandless magic is the true form of using your magic, tapping your center.”
“So we’re weakening ourselves by using wands and not weaning ourselves off of them,” Remus sighed.
“Yep.”
“It looks as if I will have something else to practice while I’m away,” Remus mused. Xander just slid over a list of books with a smile.
