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.

I won't hurt any children wrapped up in this mess if I can help it.

I suppose a lot of things were different during the first war. I still don't think I could have just ignored the fact that people I loved were doing heinous things.

Then again I've never had your values either.

Neither will I.

You share the values of those who raised you, of your friends, your family, and the man you love. That isn't so different, and it isn't as if Azkaban used to be filled with pureblooded criminals alone. By the time the transition to brutal, endless killing was made, it was already too late to leave.

It's hard to turn away from values held by everyone you love, I can see that. Doesn't mean it can't be done. I'm sad that if it ever happens for you, it will be too late for so many things.

Can I ask you something? What did you see in Lucius? Not very relevant right now, I know, but I can't help being curious.

What an odd question. He is charming, intelligent, handsome, he cares deeply for Draco and myself – and we have quite a few shared traits, albeit I doubt you would consider them particularly endearing.

My turn, then: why the werewolf?

[surnameonly]

It's not an odd question if you've only ever seen him from the angle that I have, trust me.

The werewolf has a name. I married Remus because he is kind, because he is brave, because he makes me laugh. Because he is an amazingly intelligent man with so much to offer those who care to see him as a human being. I married him because he loves me, and because I love him more than I have the words to express. I married him because I've spent long nights sharing things with him I've never told anyone to pass the time and forget about the possibility that we might get killed any moment. I married him because the first time he kissed me my toes curled and my hair probably turned every colour of the rainbow.

Like you said, in some ways we aren't so different. When you think of my husband, you think of a monster. It's the same for me when I think of yours.
