*The first thing Peter does is to ring George, partly because he misses him, partly because he's overheard whispers of a reshuffle and if anyone's going to have inside info, it's going to be George.  He still hasn't managed to crack the charms on the phone, but he moves the equations from the manuscript to campbell's book for safe keeping, reasoning that people were somewhat less likely to pick up and flick through the latter.

He ignores breakfast when it is brought.  Magical binding or not, Peter has read that some werewolves are able to transform voluntarily and if that's the case, then it's a weapon he means to add to his currently meagre arsenal.  He stares at his hands, trying to draw up the feeling of transformation.  Are the hairs on the back of his hands a little longer?  Perhaps not.  He refocuses and tries again.

By lunch time, Peter's famished and in need of a nap.  He's just about managed to get fur to grow, but his human self reasserts itself after about 5 seconds.  He collapses into a chair and almost inhales the plate of food, ignoring Black Rod's disapproving glare.  After lunch, he curls up on the bed and dozes off.*

I know. But let's get through the DEFRA visit first. Once they sign off on John's stewardship of you our legal position will be considerably more robust.

Besides, I think we both know you're a flight risk.

...very well.

If that is the extent of the restrictions they require, then I believe I have monopolised enough of your time and will return to reading the briefings before tomorrow.

*Frances is a little surprised by the lack of argument. A month ago she would have said a cooperative Peter would be a vast improvement, but it's strangely uncomfortable to see him so subdued.*

Goodnight, Peter.

*She leaves, hoping to hunt down Bercow and ask him what the hell he's playing at leaving Peter completely unguarded.*
