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.

[ Usually play from Hogwarts time, but hit me with your best AUs - However you want to message her works. ]

Hey, do you mind sparing some free time at a moment’s notice? I could use some help at this time.

[ Drops everything.

What are the possibilities: charms or potions homework help? Friend issues? Bullies - she will not abide such nonsense? Oh- is this request for dating advice? Lily. Is. Here. For. Harry.

But she knows she has to reign back that motherly enthusiasm so the message takes a moment to compose.]

Of course, Harry!

What do you need? Floo power for fireplace communications? Charms to assist owls in speedier deliveries? How instant did you mean?

Maybe we can use charms to help the owls in bringing up the delivery fast. I just hit a snag on a homework in Transfiguration that left me scratching my head. Thankfully its due date is a few days away.

I was going to ask Hermione for help but she is too busy at the moment with some homework of her own.

Charms it is. And if we need to switch to the fireplace, we can do that, too.

Transfiguration is more your father's area of expertise, but I'll help you as much as I can before dragging him in.

What's stumping you?

Sure we can do that as well if needed.

Well, we had just a lesson on advance level Conjuring spells and the assignment had us trying to apply and observe the changes done on a transfigured object of our choice. It turns out that one of the spells was a lot tricker than I was hoping it would be.

I think it is the one where I had to turn a teapot into a gerbil.
