Owl Post meme, a bit late, sorry sorry.

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.

Wait, you're serious?

[ That actually was an attempt at flirting in the workplace? ]

[pottersluck]

Yep. Unless you'll be like pissed or something, in which case... of course not?

[Did he mention he was really, really bad at this?]

[surnameonly]

Nice save.

[ Read: terrible save. ]

I'm not pissed, just confused.

[pottersluck]

[Confusion is not outright rejection! Win!]

Have dinner with me and let me try to clear up your confusion?

[surnameonly]

Harry, what's going on here? Why aren't you taking Ginny to dinner?

[pottersluck]

Oh, right. I forgot we kept it quiet.

Tonks... we split up.

Six months ago.

I didn't want... her to suffer because of my fame, and negative reactions so... we just never said anything.

[surnameonly]

Oh, I'm sorry.

Not so worried about me suffering then? You really are bloody awful at this.

And I know I should know this but I have completely lost track. How old are you now? I got you a ruddy gift and everything and I still can't remember.

[pottersluck]

There's nothing in this world you couldn't beat, Tonks. I've never been worried you couldn't take care of yourself.

And... like I said, I kind of forgot that we kept it quiet. I haven't thought about it in months.

I'm nineteen.

[surnameonly]

Far be it from me to judge someone for wanting to be with someone who is older than them but come on now. I can't date a teenager.

[pottersluck]

Ah.

Okay.

Well... I won't bother you then. Sorry?

[surnameonly]

You don't have to be sorry, you haven't done anything bad.

[pottersluck]

Thanks, Tonks,

You're an awesome person.

[surnameonly]

So are you. If I were a single nineteen-year-old and not a grieving single mother I would be very lucky to go on a date with you.

[pottersluck]

Thanks.

I should probably stop abusing office resources and let you get back to work, too.

See you around, hey?
