Owl Post meme, a bit late, sorry sorry.

[madam_rosmerta]

OWL MAIL Wizards might not text with a mobile phone all that often, but they do have other methods of communication available when it comes to a quick chat with their mates (or enemies) at any hour of the day. Post your characters, name, and preferences in the title area. You can include a generic starter if you want, or just post a blank. Anything goes. 1. OWL MAIL This might be a little slow for quicker chats, especially if you're close by, but it's good to give the bird some exercise! 2. FIRE CALL Just pop your head into that fire and chat away. Probably not recommended for drunken calls. 3. ENCHANTED MIRROR Those little reflective surfaces that show your friend's face whenever you might need to tell them something. Maybe you can enchant them to connect to any reflective surface around your chosen contact? (Maybe not the bathroom...) 4. HOWLERS Ever received one? It's supposed to be absolutely horrible. 5. OTHER MAGICAL COMMUNICATION The ones above are hardly the only way wizards can reach out to each other for a quick chat. Feel free to invent new items or use something like enchanted notebooks that you write in and the other sees the text at their end. You could also use flying letters, talking portraits, or, well, cellphones, if you will.

Prongs-

Preface: Everyone's fine, situation being taken care of.

Parents targeted. Mum wailed DE in the face with cast-iron skillet. Bastard never saw it coming. Helping Dad put stronger protections up. Won't be over tonight.

-Moony

[firsttogo]

Good to hear everyone is okay. Do you need anything?

Who was it? Did you catch them?

Keep me posted, Moony. Firecall if you can.

-Prongs

makes up a DE for hope lupin to smash in the face

[wolfymcwolf]

New dinner maybe? The one she'd been making ended up on the floor for obvious reasons and we're all a bit shook up.

Anning. Wizard or not, cast-iron skillet swung at the face with force will knock a man out. He's caught, been collected already. Gonna wake up with a headache and a nasty burn. Somehow can't find any pity for the sod.

-Moony

rip invented de

[firsttogo]

I'm glad nothing else happened. Perhaps your parents should consider moving for a while.

I suppose we can count that name out of the list then. Good riddance and fair well to Azkaban.

Your mum is impressive. Congratulate her in my behalf, won't you? Also Lily sends her love and regard. Please stay safe, all of you.

-Prongs

[wolfymcwolf]

It's being discussed. They've not had to move in so long, though, I hate that they have to again. I know they'd be targets either way but I can't help but think this is my fault.

Of course she is, she's my mum. Passed on the well wishes. Might stay with them a few days if nothing urgent comes up. You stay safe, too.

-M

[firsttogo]

Your dad married a muggle, mate. He'd be a target no matter if you were in the picture or not. And you can't blame yourself. But look, it's only going to be temporary. I will help with the funds. The main point is that everyone will be safe.

Stay, as long as you need to. Just try to convince them to leave the country for a bit. If my parents were alive, I'd usher them out as quickly as possible.

And I'm serious (almost wrote Sirius) if you need anything, I'm just a firecall away.

-Not Sirius

[heritant]

Prongo! Prong-boy. Prongy. Now listen quick, we're taking bets on it in the Commons, two Knuts a piece: so, pile of Galleons, a Niffler, a goblin and a dragon. Who wins?

A. Dragon fires up and scorches the Niffler and goblin, sits on the gold.

B. Goblin summons legalease, gets the dragon and Niffler thrown into Azkaban, banks the gold.

C. Niffler cutesies its way by the goblin, coos at the dragon, grabs the gold, then dashes out.

I've got coin on the Niffler. Where do you stand?

[firsttogo]

You would, wouldn't you, go for the Niffler. It's basically your MO, isn't it, mate? Look, if we're being serious about this, it's going to be the Goblin, because real life is boring. But I have to put my money on the dragon because I'd be betraying all my instincts if I weren't.

Get your paws on that gold now, a true Niffler won't leave it just for a chance but charm his way through the obstacles.

Do your worst, you beautiful disaster you, and let me know how it turned out.

[heritant]

...the dragon. Really, James. Come on, now. Come on. The - dragon - ? Ahead of a Niffler?

You're messing with my head, mate. Or you've turned dull.

Merlin, I should have gone to Peter, he's got the knack for it.

[firsttogo]

You asked my well educated opinion, and you got it. Don't whine when it's not to your liking. A dragon is hardly a boring choice. It's big, it's beautiful, it's fantastic and I bet flying on one would be lovely.

Can you fly a Niffler? No, you can't.

Show me your Niffler skills, Sirius. I'm waiting. I bet you can still turn the tide.

[heritant]

Well, now I can't, can I, mate?

I push my win, you lose. Because you're... picking the dragon. Had to pick the dragon.

Fine. We're picking the dragon. There.

[firsttogo]

Oh, come off it, mate. Fine, Niffler is fine if you have to get your knickers in a twist because of it. I'll support you, even if you're being outrageous.

[lightmagic]

James,

I'll be late home, we got into a spot of trouble out on Order business. Everyone's fine, just sorting things out at the moment.

Get some tea ready, won't you? I'm knackered.

Love,
Lily

[firsttogo]

Love,
You wouldn't lie to me about everyone being fine, wouldn't you?
What happened? Should I meet you half way just in case?

Tea will be waiting for you, a bath drawn as well. Stay safe.

Yours,
James

[lightmagic]

Darling,

Have I ever lied to you about that? Hardly the time to put important things lightly, after all. An unexpected skirmish, from which all parties on our side got away clean save a bloody nose. One arrest for the other side. Off looking for one other wounded now.

No need for the escort, I'll be on my way and home as soon as we're done.

Love,
Lily

[firsttogo]

Love,

No, you haven't. And please, never do. Be careful even if the missing one is wounded and focused. Let me know when you're done and everyone is safe.

I hate the idea that you're there, in possible danger, without me.

Yours,
James

the thought of owling while hunting down a death eater is cracking me up tbvh

[lightmagic]

Darling,

And so I never will. Besides, you know there's no one there that can best me, my most reckless of husbands. (This is a joke.)

I'm all right. I'd say don't worry after me but I always worry after you.

Love,
Lily

Lily why do you do these things???

[firsttogo]

Love,

Here I am, waiting for you at home and you're fighting death eaters, and you call me reckless. You are outrageous, Lily Potter.

But outrageous or not, please come safely home.

Yours,
James

PROCRASTINATING TO THE VERY LAST SECOND

[brighteyedsacrifice]

I've had an epiphany over this morning's tea while you were gone. You're like an electric blanket that I can have very thorough and gratifying morning sex with. Please come home soon, xoxo

LIFE IS WAITING FOR YOU TORI

[firsttogo]

I'm an electric what? Wife, your logic never ceases to surprise me. Do you need those little things to fire me up, what are they called? Electricity containers?

WORK IS NOT LIFE, BAH

[brighteyedsacrifice]

A blanket that utilizes electricity to keep one warm. It's rather fitting. You keep me warm at night in a number of inventive ways, and I receive the added benefit of spectacular morning sex to start the day off proper. Hence the epiphany.

Electricity containers? You mean batteries? Oh no, I have other means of firing you up :-)

[firsttogo]

So basically what you want is a blanket with a dick? I hear they make electric dicks in muggle world.

However, since this seems to be a mutually beneficial deal, I am officially interested. How do you suggest firing me up?

[brighteyedsacrifice]

No, you silly thing, I want you. And muggles call them vibrators.

You have a number of options for that. My hands, my tits, my mouth... I could go on?

[firsttogo]

does it vibrate? that's pretty sweet. and i think i've made my intentions clear. i'll be your vibrator whenever you want, love.

you got this covered. i'm sold. so where do i sign?
