| | Letter Writing Station
Off to the right of the entrance, in a rather bright area, a long row of old writing desks can be seen. Each desk is kept as clean as possible; however, some of the wooden surfaces have deeply engrained ink stains, and more than a few have been scarred by those who enjoy leaving messages scratched into tables. An enchantment has been placed on the desks now, to ward off those who would try to leave their mark, so I suggest you don't. In the top drawer, one might find an excess of barn owl feather quills for writing. The bottom drawer is home to various colours and types of ink, provided for your letter-writing needs.
The chairs at the desks, while cushioned, are a bit hard. They are comfortable enough to sit in while writing a letter, but not so comfortable as to make it desirable to spend an excessive amount of time in them. After all, you're not the only one here to write a letter, are you? However, please do have a seat and take your time, and remember to clean up after yourself when you've finished.
Also, please make sure you don't accidentally put our quills/ink in your pockets. You never know what kind of charms the shopkeepers may have put on them. Premises Map |

| YesJess! | Captain Goggles | Mama Badger | Eva's Soul Sister | An OG™ | It's all in the Numbers Dominic had no idea why because it was definitely not one of his finest decisions, but he somehow ended up in the Owl Post Office on his trip to Diagon Alley. Actually he knew why, but he also had for the last three and half years tried to convince himself to move on and that it was foolish to linger over someone so cold as the former-Ravenclaw captain. She was the one who stopped talking to him right? Who wanted to cut off all ties with him?
Of course she'd been backed by none other than her cunning Slytherin friend, his co-head gender. But still, it was HER decision. What he done? Not communicated with her for a whole summer after he stole a kiss from her? BIG DEAL! It wasn't like they were in a relationship; just friends, but she ruined what could have been something spectacular. He had no idea where she was now; probably playing Quidditch for some big-name team as she was quite talented, but wherever she was, an owl would find her. And hopefully, even if she didn't want communication with him ever again, she might see the error of her ways. At least a small part of him hoped that - or at the very least, that she maybe speak to him again.
Heaving a sigh, Dom dipped his quill into some navy ink and set off to writing the letter of the decade.

Leticia had decided to take to cleaning the owlery, and since she preferred to avoid cleaning that room when possible, the young woman made no complaints in taking to restocking supplies.
She was mildly surprised to see someone at one of the desks, thinking the place devoid of any costumers. Seeing how he seemed to be focused on his letter, she decided to start of the furthest desk as to not disturb him.

The first immediate thoughts as Dominic heard heels were Celandine Toussaint or Anna Greingoth Newell. Ugh; those girls were insane to get married. But more so were the poor grooms - why would they subject themselves to such . . . feminism? At least the one girl on his mind wasn't exactly the most feminine, high-heel wearing girl in the world. Upon even from his peripheral vision though, the 21-year-old knew that this woman was none of familiarity.
Cleaning person? Stock girl? Whatever the case, she was clearly not here to write letters. "Do you need me to leave?" He asked suddenly. Because he could totally finish start this letter tomorrow.

Asami had silently cast a cushioning charm on her seat before descending into it. Flicking her wand again in a few quick motions, she watched as a few drawers were pulled out, and the quills and ink wells from the box floating to their proper place. She could have done this by hand, but the sooner she finished, the sooner she got to go to lunch.
Her eyes flicked over to the young man sitting a few desks away from her own, a small smile forming on her face as she shook her head. "Your fine, just doing a bit of restocking. Let me know if I'm disturbing you though." She could always save this for after lunch.

Mizuki walked over to the letter writing station, She took her favorite peacock feather out of her purse and borrowed some ink and began to write on the parchment stationery she had brought with her.
She addressed the envelope, placed the stopper back in the ink bittle and put it bavk where she got it from. She then put her quill back in her purse and after putting the letter in the envelope and sealing it, stood and made her way to the counter.

| HOLISTIC ACTRESS {X O} EVERYTHING IS CONNECTED After receiving a rather important letter from her sister Charlotte decided to pass the information onto Alicia Devereaux, her aunt. Quote:
Hi Alicia,
It's Charlie, I just got some wonderful news from Hogwarts! Kyle is doing well - she's making new friends, and well - one thing that might be important is that Katra - Jac's daughter is at school. And she said her mum sent a good hello from Aurelie - mum's not dead!
I feel so happy, mad, and sad at the same time.
Anyways, Love you dearly,
Charlotte A. Manning.
She finished writing the letter and smiled.

| Dalliesa | Ab-Bot | Hogwarts Trojan War | Marina pulled a chair for herself and made herself comfortable. She took a deep breath before laying the parchment and the ink on the table. She had to check on Louisa, the girl never sends owls unless Marina urges her to. It was rather tricky to take care of someone not your family.
She unfolded the parchment and started, Quote:

By the way, I know about the broom you bought and I'm not mad. You just had to ask for it instead of sneaking behind my back and getting one. I'd recommend something. However, how did your flying training go? I want to hear it all.
Your mother called me two days ago and she told me that Johnny's sick a bit. Nothing to worry about though. I'm going to send you the things she wanted you to have. She sends her cheers and promise to call you the first minute you're home with Mrs. Brown. Jason and Danny say hi too.
I'd like you to keep me posted on what's going on with you, please. I thought we agreed to be friends in the summer?
Looking forward to your reply,
Love,
Marina. She read the letter two times before folding it and praying the young girl doesn't respond emotionally to the news, especially that she was kind of unsupervised at the mo. Hfff. The woman dragged herself off the chair and headed out to the service desk. |

Hogwarts RPG Name: Xavier Rodriguez Fullmer First Year | Dancing Through Life Leo sat down at a desk, and began replying to his sister's letter. Quote:
Dear Presley,
While I agree that I really am in charge, you should ask father for conventions sake. That being said, yes you may go spend summer with your friend. Provided I get a letter from Luna's parents saying that this is okay and they have approved it. I'm really glad you're doing well hun. It's great news. As you already know, I now work in magical transportation, and I'm loving it. Presley, I haven't seen you enough this year. At all. Tell you what, I am free on Sunday, and if Headmaster Tate agrees, I'll take you out for lunch and we can catch up. Sound good? Write back with your reply and Tate's.
Love Your Favorite Brother,
Leo
Finished and satisfied he sealed the envelope, set the quill back in the drawer he had pulled it from, and stood up to leave. |

Hogwarts RPG Name: Glenn Reyes Fourth Year | Mandie sat down at the desk and unfurled some parchment some her bag along with: a dove feather quill and a small pot of black ink, the latter being placed back in the bag and her using the inks supplied.
Her quill hovered above the parchment for a few seconds while she thought about what she wanted to say. It wasn't as easy as muggle films made out writing heart felt letters.
Mandie finally decided on how to start the letter, it wasn't the best but it didn't matter too much besides, she hardly knew the girl. Mandie had met Glenn's mother a while back while doing an assignment for "Muggle Association" at University; Glenn's mother was a muggle. Glenn's mother, Elena, had told Mandie about Glenn getting her Hogwarts acceptance letter and Mandie had always meant to write but never got onto it. Quote: Dear Glenn,
I hope everything is fine at Hogwarts. You may not know me that well but I met your mother when I was at University.
I hope you don't find it too strange that I'm writing to you. You see, your mother told me about you not having many friends at Hogwarts and, as a former Hufflepuff myself I thought I should write to you and tell you not to worry. You'll make lots of friends in the years coming. I didn't make many friends until my third year at Hogwarts!
Just focus on school work at the moment. It may seem boring but if you get good right now you get to do lots of fun spells, I can turn my skin purple now! Though, please don't try that. The professor almost had a heart attack when I walked into class purple.
I don't particularly mind if you write back or not - I would understand if you don't. Just keep my advice in mind, I don't want you to feel left out of anything. Mandie paused. She wondered if it was acceptable to put love at the end of a letter to someone you hardly knew. She gave a mental shrug and did it anyway. Quote: Love,
Mandie Elliott Though not entirely satisfied with her letter, Mandie folded it into an envelope. She then got out a letter from Elena, Glenn's mother, although this one was written on lined paper with (presumably) a pen and folded it neatly into another envelope.
Mandie placed the pot of ink she'd been using away on the shelf and placed her quill into her bag and stood up and head over to the service desk.

Kyleigh walked up to the letter writing station she had quite a big letter to write today and to her former school time crush. This was going to be hard for the awkwardly shy French girl. Her accent had somewhat softened in the time since she had left. Quote:

Kyleigh Elizabeth Manning No that was too formal in the ending. It needed something simple, something sweet, something funny and ironic about it. And not to mention that was just too forward. Quote:

I'll be in Diagon Alley for about a month or so - right now I'm staying with my aunt once more in a loft in London but if you want to visit just send me an owl, or call.
Anyhow I wanted to tell you a late Happy Birthday!
~Kyle Manning
PS
I know this is something I probably should have had in the body and not in the post script - but I just realized I needed to say it and knowing me in person I would choke up and lose the nerve. So here goes. I don't know why but I never told you this - but I kind of had a crush on you back at school. Honestly you don't have to respond to that but I just thought its better out in the open then left unsaid yet again. I actually tried to tell you but I couldn't for some reason I think the pirate in me wouldn't let me. Okay that worked. With and without the Post Script.

| Super Slytherin Buddy || ⅓ She-Snake Trio || 'I taste like chocolate and potatoes' With Anya's letter clutched in her left hand, and her right hand holding tightly onto Carter's jacket, dragging him behind her, Destiny Shepard made her way towards the writing station. All her trips into Diagon Alley, and this was the very first time she was ever in the Owl Post Office. She never really needed to be there before, but after her little owl, Travis, decided to go missing, well, she needed to send letters somehow.
And she was not going to use Carter's owl. She was sure that thing hated her. So what she let her cats swat and hiss at him? There was no reason to chew up her letters!
Pfft'ing at the thought of whatever his name is, she didn't even care!, eating her letter to Anya, Destiny let go of Carter once they reached the desks and threw herself in a chair. Laying Anya's letter out on top of the desk, she began rooting through the drawers, pulling out all the things she was going to need to write. She had no idea what she was going to write.. "Don't think you're getting out of writing a letter, Carter." She pulled the chair next to her out for him, "Sit."

Hogwarts RPG Name: Stuart Kynaston Ravenclaw Sixth Year Hogwarts RPG Name: Rome Keller Drechsler Gryffindor First Year | Sardine VIP || Shark Attack! || D A R T E R || Captain Oblivious But...but... but... It was Carter's day off! All he wanted to do was sit on the couch and "hog the muggle box" (as she often worded it).
It was HIS mugglebox! Err... television. "I don't see why I can't just write her some other time." he complained as Destiny dragged him to the owl post. "You read the letter she wrote to me. What am I supposed to say? 'Congratulations on making friends with a bush and not getting detention'?"
Okay. So he was being harsh. He'd just had his heart set on beating the next level in his "muggle box game box". Seriously. Carter was tempted to buy a label maker and labeling EVERYTHING since apparently Destiny couldn't remember the name of anything.
He took a seat as instructed then peered over Destiny's shoulder. "What are you writing?" he asked. It would give him ideas on what he should say.

| Super Slytherin Buddy || ⅓ She-Snake Trio || 'I taste like chocolate and potatoes' Being around Carter for so long, Destiny knew exactly what he was thinking. But...but... but... It's my day off! All I want to do was sit on the couch and "hog the muggle box"!
Yeah, it was actually kind of scary how well she knew him. But, no matter how much he wanted to hog the muggle box, he had a letter to write and neither of them were leaving the Owl Post until he wrote it. Destiny would wait there all night if she had to! And everyone knew the owls were more active at night. There was no way Carter would be able to sleep.
Rolling her eyes, she pulled the piece of parchment she was going to write on closer to herself. Did he really have to ask what he was supposed to say? "She's YOUR sister. You should know what to say." Like, he could put how much he missed her and yes, he should put congratulations for making friends with a bush. He saw the picture! It was an awesome giraffe bush!
She used her arm to cover up the parchment, though, when she noticed him peeking. "No cheating." She didn't want him to copy off her 'Dear Anya' greeting.

Hogwarts RPG Name: Stuart Kynaston Ravenclaw Sixth Year Hogwarts RPG Name: Rome Keller Drechsler Gryffindor First Year | Sardine VIP || Shark Attack! || D A R T E R || Captain Oblivious Carter frowned. Those aliens were NOT going to defeat themselves. "Fine. Fine." he said pulling a piece of parchment closer to him. She was going to make him stay ALL night if he didn't finish. And that was the last thing he wanted. "Can we at least get some cheesecake while we're here?" he asked. He really didn't want to be in Diagon Alley just to send an owl. Especially because he had a perfectly good one at home. And really, it wasn't his fault Apollo didn't like Destiny. Maybe she'd learn to control her cats. "That doesn't mean I know what to say." he said staring down at his blank parchment.
He picked up a quill and started with Hey Sis. He then peered over Destiny's shoulder again. "I wouldn't cheat off that anyway. Mine is way better."
Now... what should he write about?

| Super Slytherin Buddy || ⅓ She-Snake Trio || 'I taste like chocolate and potatoes' If her fingers weren't already all inky from writing the greeting to Anya, Destiny would have used them to push the corners of Carter's mouth up into a smile. Yes, she didn't miss that frown on his face and he was just being a overly dramatic Quidditch player! The muggle box would still be there when they got back. It wasn't like they were going to be out all day.
Or..maybe they were.
Tearing her gaze away from her parchment, Destiny stared at Carter for a moment before shrugging her shoulders. Sure, sure, he could go get cheesecake. "As long as you're going to buy me something." That was fair. Well, at least she thought it was fair. "We should stop at the Magical Menagerie!" She wanted a Streeler for the longest time.
Her quill touching the parchment once more, she ignored Carter and his complaining and..if she knew what to write, he should know. He has known Anya for much longer than she had. "We'll see about that. When she writes back to me and not you."

Hogwarts RPG Name: Stuart Kynaston Ravenclaw Sixth Year Hogwarts RPG Name: Rome Keller Drechsler Gryffindor First Year | Sardine VIP || Shark Attack! || D A R T E R || Captain Oblivious Carter shook his head and chuckled as he worked on his letter. "Merlin Destiny. You're worse then a little kid, ya know? You don't need something every time we go out."
But of course, she always ended up with something that he paid for.
Which made him wonder what the former snake did with her own money.
What?! He blinked and looked at Destiny. "You're not thinking of getting another pet are you?" he said in disbelief. But as soon as the words left his mouth he knew that that was probably the case. Destiny did love animals. And strange ones at that. He was pretty sure he'd come home after practice one day to 3 gnomes and a crocodile.
He shuddered at the thought. They seriously needed to make rules about pets. "You do know that we just got dogs." Three of them! He was going to need to buy a MANSION at the rate that new animals were introduced into the flat.
He narrowed his eyes slightly at Destiny's "challenge." Professional quidditch had made the former lion a bit more competitive. "Please. She's my sister. Of course she'll write me." And she'd probably right him back first.
Especially if he offered to take her to Disney World over the summer.
And with a smirk he got busy writing that bit. Take THAT Destiny. His letter was now TEN THOUSAND times more interesting.

| can the crocodile live in the BATHTUB!? XD Super Slytherin Buddy || ⅓ She-Snake Trio || 'I taste like chocolate and potatoes' What was Carter talking about?
He was the one who was worse than a kid. Destiny was fine with just going into the Owl Post, but HE was the one who needed to get something everytime they went out. He was the one who mentioned getting cheesecake. Really, it was only fair that she get something, too.
Only she didn't like cheesecake that much, so she was going to get another pet instead. Like he had to ask that question. "Why else would I go into a pet store, Carter?" Honestly, all that Quidditch that he played muddled his brain or something. "And dogs, pfft." she waved her hand dismissively without looking up from the letter she was writing, "I want a Streeler. You know their shells change colors?" And they also leave a trail of venom, but she wasn't going to mention that unimportant bit of information.
Excited about her new pet, she wrote down a few more words on the piece of parchment before glancing at Carter. Why was he looking at her like that? If it was anyone but Carter looking at her like that, she might have been a little scared, but it was Carter and..dropping her quill down on the table, Destiny made a grab for his piece of parchment. "You better not be writing down lies, Carter! Let me see your letter!"

"You better not be writing down lies, Carter! Let me see your letter!" "We are NOT getting another pet. I already trip over the ones that are there!" Carter exclaimed. But him tripping over the animals mostly had to do with Destiny owning very fat cats. "And we are especially NOT getting one that trails venom!" And she thought he didn't pay attention in Care of Magical Creatures class.
Okay... so he didn't. But after realizing that Destiny wasn't going to leave... and that she brought all her things over for her 'visit', he reread Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find them. Why? Because he wanted to be prepared for a moment like this.
Hoping that Destiny was distracted enough by her letter to drop the subject, Carter got back to working on his own letter. He finished the recap of his last few weeks. He wrote about the vacation with Destiny.
And he had just finished writing about how all his vacations should occur at theme parks and that he was thinking Florida was next on his list when.... "HEY!" he said making a frantic attempt to snatch his parchment back. "Whatever happened to NO cheating?" Knowing Destiny that rule probably went out the window when she realized his letter was going to be WAY better then hers.
Typical girl. "Of course I'm not writing down lies!" He just wasn't writing down truths either. The thought about Disney World hadn't even crossed his mind until a few minutes ago.

| Super Slytherin Buddy || ⅓ She-Snake Trio || 'I taste like chocolate and potatoes' What. Did. He. Just. Say!?
Destiny glared at Carter; if he thought just because he told her no, she couldn't get another pet, that she was going to listen, he needed to think again! It was just like when they went to pick up their puppies. He was only going to get the two of them, and NOW look! They had THREE. "Maybe, JUST MAYBE, you should look where you walk. Then you won't trip over my pets." And if she had to, she would do that pouty thing. He wouldn't be able to tell her no then.
Letting out a HMPH, she gave Carter a poke with the feathered side of the quill she was holding. She was getting a Streeler, and if he didn't like it, he didn't have to look at it. "Their venom isn't even poisonous! Unless you're a Horklump." Which he was not. "Or some sort of vegetation. But I promise I won't let it anywhere near your feet." Bwaha, because he had fungus toes.
Laughing at her oh, so funny joke, and the fact that she had managed to steal his letter, Destiny read the thing over and over again. She could already see a few lies written down! Okay, no she didn't, but she couldn't possibly be wrong, so she needed to pretend there were lies. "I'm not cheating! Like I would want to copy off this." She waved the paper in front of his face before slapping it back on the desk in front of him. "Just wait until I tell her I'll buy her a giraffe."

Hogwarts RPG Name: Stuart Kynaston Ravenclaw Sixth Year Hogwarts RPG Name: Rome Keller Drechsler Gryffindor First Year | Sardine VIP || Shark Attack! || D A R T E R || Captain Oblivious "I shouldn't have to watch where I'm going." Carter said crossing his arms across his chest. Really. Her pets should be smart enough to not try and run under his feet.
And her pets shouldn't always be everywhere.
He eyed her. "Well, what if I wanted a house plant?" Not that he wanted one, but still. "Besides. Venom is messy. I don't want snail goo all over the place." His poor house elf probably had a hard enough time making sure there was enough food in his place. "And I do not have foot fungus." That was gross. And even if he did (which he did NOT) they made powders for it. "You're just jealous." he said after Destiny returned his brilliant letter. Destiny was jealous that not only did she not come up with such a brilliant thing to say, but that he was going to take his sister and not her.
So hmph!
He blinked. "What?! You can't get my sister a giraffe!" She'd have no place to put it!
And... also... pet stores didn't sell giraffes.
And Carter already told Destiny that he was not helping her smuggle animals. Unless, of course, that animal was a pickpocketing toucan.

| Super Slytherin Buddy || ⅓ She-Snake Trio || 'I taste like chocolate and potatoes' That had to be one of the most ridiculous things Carter has ever said. He shouldn't have to watch where he was going.
Destiny found herself staring at him once again before poking him with the feathered part of her quill once more. "Do you listen to yourself when you talk? Like, did that make sense in your head?" Because, if it did, she was going to take him somewhere where it is IMPORTANT to watch where he was going. Crossing a street in muggle London sounded good. He needed to watch out for those big muggle carps.
Leave it to him to want a houseplant. Destiny pfft'd and wrote something on her parchment along the lines of 'Your brother should never had graduated.' "What are you going to do with a houseplant? Get Flicka to take care of it?" And honestly, it wouldn't be the Streeler's fault it would leave venom around! It's in his nature to do so. "I'll put it in a tank. My room is big enough for a tank." Hehe.
... "Yes, yes you do." That's why everyone on the Quidditch team called him Foot Fungus Phillips. Or..they were going to, as soon as she told them to.
JEALOUS!? Destiny Shepard did not get jealous! Well, she hadn't in a long time, but that was besides the point. She read his letter, there was nothing to be jealous of. She wasn't going to say anything about that, though. Instead, she simply rolled her eyes and continued writing. "I can do whatever I want." Plain and simple.
Anya was getting a giraffe!

Hogwarts RPG Name: Stuart Kynaston Ravenclaw Sixth Year Hogwarts RPG Name: Rome Keller Drechsler Gryffindor First Year | Sardine VIP || Shark Attack! || D A R T E R || Captain Oblivious Carter blinked. Did Destiny seriously just ask him that? Destiny of all people. "Yes Destiny. The things I say make sense in my head." Otherwise, why would he say it? Or even think it?
Carter was not one of those crazy people that thought about things that didn't make sense. "What wouldn't I do with a house plant?" he retorted. Okay... that was pretty much the lamest thing he'd ever said. And the fact that it came right after he said that he made complete sense didn't help his cause at all.
Maybe Destiny wouldn't notice?
He frowned. She just had to rub it in that she had the bigger room now, didn't she? Destiny should have been grateful that he didn't have any other friends that would keep him company he let her stay with him.
But noooo. She had to insist on having the big bedroom and making those girl eyes.
Carter really needed to work on not being so nice.
And he'd start by just ignoring the fact that he was willing to let her get another pet if it stayed in her room in a cage.
He rolled his eyes. "Right. Because you sniff my shoes." Assuming foot fungus smelled. He didn't know.
Do what ever she wanted? Pft. "Yeah. Except give my sister a giraffe." he mumbled as he finished off his letter.

Kyle made her way into the letter writing station - this time she was on a mission. A mission to send her best friend form school some news.
She was still in shock about what hat happened. Where they? She didn't know. All she knew was that it had happened.
After writing the letter, she simply crumbled it and threw it away. How was she going to tell him anything now. It was too odd. She'd try again later.

| Carter. Super Slytherin Buddy || ⅓ She-Snake Trio || 'I taste like chocolate and potatoes' Well, in that case, Carter should just stop thinking altogether. It obviously didn't help him when he spoke, because nothing he said ever made sense. And just when Destiny was thinking of a way to prove her point, he made it all the easier for her. Really? What wouldn't he do with a houseplant? She could tell him a few things he should do with it, but she was going to be nice and not say anything.
She did shake her head, though. "You can't smell foot fungus, you can only see it." But, if foot fungus was smelly, she was sure she would have been able to smell it on his feet even if he wore shoes and socks. That's how bad his fungus was. "Your toes look like they are growing talons." Instead of toenails, he had toetalons. Easier to open up sealed boxes, she supposed.
Shrugging at her own thoughts, and trying not to imagine Carter opening up a box using his feet, it was kind of freaky, Destiny wrote down a few more words on her parchment. She was almost done, just had to mention buying a giraffe. Or not.. "Fine then. I promise not to mention anything about buying Anya a giraffe, if you promise me I can get TWO Streelers." She had to make it two. She deserved them both! Because he annoyed her so much.
