Prompt 21 - Rank

Previous part First part

Remus’s hands had healed within days of the last moon. His Lycanthropy gave him accelerated healing abilities. James hadn’t had the heart to tell Regulus his potions would be useless this month as he’d loved watching him at his simmering cauldrons as he researched anything and everything that could help Remus. 

“Oh— Er— Thank you.” Remus had stuttered when Regulus pushed the numerous potions into his hands. Sirius had snickered at the stunned look on Remus’s face. 

“Aww, Moony, I think he likes you.” Sirius cooed as he plucked one of the vials from Remus’s hands. “What’s this?” He asked Regulus, holding up the unfamiliar potion. He uncorked it and gave it a tentative sniff. “Hmmm, not as rank as I thought it was going to be.” 

Regulus squirmed a bit shyly at James’s side. James wrapped an arm around Regulus’s waist, grounding him. 

“It’s a calmer for his skin,” He told them. 

“I don’t recognise it,” Remus said, peering at the bottle as well. 

“It’s my own concoction. I tested it a few times and tweaked it until it was right. That's why it took so long. It should help with your healing scars, make them less noticeable quicker.”

“That’s pretty impressive,” Peter responded. He looked around at his quiet friends. “Well it is.” 

“Thank you,” Remus said earnestly to Regulus. “No, I mean it. Thank you.” Regulus let a smile tug at the corner of his mouth.  Sirius looked between the two.

“So, on a scale between 1 and 10, how likely are you to leave me for my brother?” He asked jokingly. James reflexively tightened his grip on Regulus. Remus smirked. 

“Oh, it’s a solid ten,” He winked at Regulus. James looked down at the boy in his arms and saw that mischievous look on his face. Oh, Regulus was enjoying this. 

“Looks like I’ve almost got the whole collection. Only Pettigrew to go.” Regulus snickered back, reaching out and pulling Remus closer. 

“No offence or anything, but no thanks.” Peter took a step away from the little group. Remus burst out laughing. It was beautiful and carefree, it had been a while since James had seen that laugh. 

“Go put your potions away, Moony. It’s time for Hoggy Warty Hogwarts.” Sirius exclaimed. James felt the thrill of anticipation shoot through him. He couldn’t wait for the chaos that was about to ensue.

More thoughts on Scores.

So Dash or R does stand for rank them. This breaks things down to:

Categories 1,2,3 and any combination i.e. 12, 23, 13 (would a 123 be possible?)

(R)ank A,B,C and any combination i.e. AB, BC, AC (Same Q? ABC?)

I saw someone else's post on this and it looks like we are headed in the same direction. I suspect CAT;

1 - caused by person/avatar/monster

2 - cause by a place/location

3 - cause by a thing (not necessarily tangible)

However, Ep. Give and Take (DPHW basically stands for "A MASS gathering of Stuff" Agglomeration means "collecting in mass" and a congregation is , for the purposes of this, a gathering of people, animals, or things) and Doll, Watching don't fit this. I see the argument for both these events happening "at a place" (the "donators/employees" came and brought the stuff to a "location" and doll don't move, so you kinda have to go to them (a place/location)), but they also involve "things", but... this should be as good segue as any

(R)ank;

A - Dunno we've had 1 episode with this rank

B - Regret

C - Obsession (Compulsion)

I'm assuming they all have to do with fear, right. This is a horror podcast, horror is meant to cause fear. So I'll be working with this assumption until I'm told/proven otherwise

CAT2RC would be "Fear cause by an Obsession with a Place"

That still doesn't satisfy Dolls, Watching or EP. Give and Take for me though.

Kinda fits for Making Adjustments

CAT3RBC "Fear cause by Regret and Obsession with a Thing (the Tattoo, Perfection, Her Body)

CAT3RB for "Rolling With It" and "Futures" is "Fear cause by Regret due to a Thing" (Dice, Application and both statements emphasize how much is wasn't a "compulsion")

TMP CAT Scoring theory.

Mild Spoilers

I retract my earlier stance on specifically R(ank)

I still haven't a clue what a R(ank) A could be. But:

B is Bodily Harm

C is Cognitive Harm

I could see A being Spiritual Harm if we wanna go with the Body, Mind, and Spirit trinity.

But I don't know.

This fits better with the scoring we have so far.

“It’s ok not to be ranked first, second or even third. Compare yourself not with others but with the old you. Like yourself for making an honest effort. And continue to have faith in yourself.”
