But, even as he spoke, there was concern in his eyes - she was walking rather gingerly, and he had a feeling that ankle might hurt. Bad.

"Foot alright, Dani?"

"Thanks Fyo." she said with a small smile. She giggled when he asked about there arguing. "We do get along, but he was upset cause I 'left him behind'. I did not, he just walks to slow." she told him. She stopped, looked at her ankle and then back to him. "Its fine, really. I think it is more my pride then anything that is hurt." she said, then she glared at Torin. She was really going to blame this on the ice.

It was not your fault. Me and ice don't get along." she told him. Then she heard her brother's comment. She wheeled around and glared at him. "Yeah, remember that when she comes to bite you." she said. She walked slowly, rubbing her backside, to where she dropped her bag. She was going to so hurt later.

Oooh, she was angry again. Not that he really cared. "Oh, get over it, Dani. You just need to learn how to walk on ice better." He didn't mention the fact that not too long before he had slid on ice and slammed into Honeydukes. No, she didn't need to know that.

His eyes flickered, widened at Torin's words. "No way," he said, pupils huge. "No way." Then the string of questions gushed out, an irritated, not-so-happy fountain of inquiry, part-disbelief, part-further disbelief. "When did this happen? Where? Why didn't you tell me?"

Oh. Was she trying to be nice? "I'm still sorry," Fyo said, but he fell quiet as she turned to glare at Torin.

"Foot alright, Dani?"

"Girls? No, not girls." He knew that Fyo would know what he was talking about. This was a topic that they had discussed so many times that he couldn't count. "Oh, you know, she was actually nice to me recently! She said she liked talking to me." Well, she had in so many words. And he was still so happy to have heard that. He grinned.

And he had a feeling that Fyo would be asking him questions. He felt bad for not telling him sooner but well.. Fyo had just gotten back and all that. "Well, this was a little before you decided to come back. In the secret passage of the dungeon. And I wanted to tell you and Reese when I first saw you, but it was just such a nice day that I didn't want to spoil it." Hopefully Fyo wouldn't be mad at him now.

"Well, we're opposites," he explained to that last comment. "Besides, she's keeping tabs on me. I can't afford to be suspended again or I can't continue my magical education. I'll have to go to a Muggle school." Stupid parents.

After gently attaching the letter to Rivendell, she sent him off and turned to the two boys that she had met in the ice cream parlour over the summer.

"Well well, Torin and Fyo, Hogwart's very own dynamic duo. What manner of bad deeds are the both of you up to now?" She smirked.
Really,she had no evidence that they were ever up to no good, but they looked like trouble makers and she liked teasing them.

Now hearing someone coming up the staircase, he turned his gaze towards the doorway. Then he saw Rhea. He smiled at her greeting and replied, "actually, nothing right now. We're not going to plot in front of my sister."

He watched her as she then proceeded to send a letter off. "So how are you? You have that little problem sorted out now?" He remembered her asking him for advice about a boy.

He rolled his eyes at his sister's dramatics.

Rhea turned more towards the other person there. She hadn't noticed, man now she looked rude.
"Oh! I didn't know that you had a sister Mr.Popular, very interesting." She proceeded to smile at the girl.
"Excuse my manners. I'm Rhea Bellaire, fifth year Hufflepuff and future editor and chief of The Daily Prophets."

She turned to Torin and frowned slightly.
"Unfortunately I haven't fixed that problem just yet. I think I'm waiting on the right time to do so."

Dani glared at Torin. "Gosh, you are certainly in a bad mood today. And all I did was not wait for you." she said mocking him. She was really hating how he was treating her in front of his friends. "And as for the ice, little brother, I am working on it." she said.

Danie smiled at the other girl. "Hi Rhea. I am Dani. Torins twin sister. Nice to meet you." she said. Now she was getting to meet more of her brothers friends.

Quickly frowning Tammy gripped the enveloped letter in her hand, and darted up the stairs of the Owlery. Okay, darted wasn't the right word to use. More like tip toed. On the balls of her toes -toe knuckles as she called them- and making sure not to slip or tread in anything EWWWWish in her heels.

EUGH.

WHY?
WHY?
WHY?
Was the floor so icky yacky EWWWIE?

Did they not have a cleaner? Bird poopy wasn't NICE!

She sighed, ignoring people that were in tehre, this letter was important. Sealed and ready to send. "Hullo Bristol. How you beeen." She sang quickly, raising a hand to stroke the owl that hadn't been used much.

Okay, well. The letter wasn't finished. "I'll send it in a bit Bristol. You want some treats? EY?" Giggle. Placing down some treats before the owl, Tam took a seat. WOW. atleast it was clean .

Peeling away at the recently stuck piece of envelope she slid out the folded letter and began to re-read. Not wanting to sound suckish.

Quote:

Helga,

School's okay. Nothing big really. Apart from christmas present buying. I want to ask you something though. . . But don't get telling Aunt and Uncle please. It's something I want to keep private for now. Until it's certainly mine. Certainly happening.

There's this apartment you see. And well, I'm leaving school in a couple of months and well. . . I dont want to keep staying there. I love all of you,a nd I couldn't bring myself to leave you all but, I dont find it right to keep living there when the apartment's all ready and brought. Well sorta. The moneys in my account at Gringotts. And I want you, to go and pay for it.

Just keep it quiet. I'm sure I want to move out, and the apartment is closer to Hogsmeade so I can see Shana and Torin, my like BEST FRIENDS! when I leave. I can't deal with the fact that its gonna be a new start. But same place.

Maybe a new place, new start. That sounds easier to me.

Hope this finds you well, I've attatched the stuff for the apartment.

Tammy x

Sounded better than it did before. Quickly sealing it back up, she attatched it to Bristol's foot and smiled. "Helga. Please Bristol." And then, she watched him go, before leaving with a little skip.

SilverTiger · 10-26-2009, 07:04 PM

Walking carefully up to the entrance to the Owlery, Adrienne looked around, her expression curiously blank, to make sure that nobody was in there before stepping inside. The plan wouldn't work if any of them got caught. Making sure to avoid any of the droppings that were on the floor, since not only would they, unless she cast liberal cleaning spells afterward, pretty much ruin her shoes, but they would also give away the fact she'd been up here. At which point she would have to come up with some excuse. At least she could always say she had just been visiting Rochester. It wasn't entirely a lie.

Before she could even call for him, her snowy owl swooped down from the perch he had been on halfway up the tower, tilting his head and looking at her curiously before hooting softly. "I have something for you to deliver," she said in a low voice, stroking his feathers for a second before reaching into her robe pocket and pulling a tightly folded piece of parchment out of it. Attaching it securely to his leg, she then leaned over and whispered something. It always paid to be careful, and she had no reason to think she wasn't being listened to. At least by the other owls who were in the owlery. As Rochester flew off, she went to the window and called out, "Make sure you get there safely. Be careful!" Watching until her owl was a tiny white speck in the sky, she then turned and made her way carefully back out of the owlery and disappeared back into the rest of the castle.

WhittyBitty · 10-27-2009, 10:25 PM

Mentally crossing his fingers, Torin slowly made his way up the stairs with the letter that Tammy had written to his mother. He just knew that it would work on her, but there was still that nagging thought at the back of his head that said that he would be going home. This was why he hadn't sounded too confident to his friends; he would rather pleasantly surprise them than greatly disappoint them.

So this was why he was solemn when he took the letter out of his pocket and looked over what it said for the millionth time.

Quote:

Mrs Kane,

Um. . . Yeah , you don't know me. My name's Tammy Wood and at this moment in time, I am your son and daughter's prefect, one of them anyway. I guess you aren't used to getting letters from friends of them, but in everyones best interest this letter should find you.

You see, Torin is my best friend, and I couldn't have gotten halfway through this school year without him, and he has that effect on many of our students. Personally he has inspired me to face reality, attempt maturity and well . . think big of myself. I haven't had any of my most favouritist moments with anyone but him. That goes for alot of people around here.

Personally, I haven't became too close with your daughter, but hearing how highly Torin speaks of her, and how she came across in the rare conversation we have had, I find her someone that would be missed if pulled form school.

Mrs Kane, it isn't like when students are enrolled in a magic school, you expect every day to go with ease and nothing bad, or torturing to ever happen. We have werewolves as teachers, my opinion on those is not discussable, and that dead boy . . . Not only did Torin find him, but he was also a member of the same house. Sure it will be hard to deal with, but Torin is getting there and he has the friends and family, and peers to do that, he just needs somewhere stable to keep his head preoccupied. If taking them out of school was the best option, I assure you I would gladly let them come out and pressure for it to happen. They seem at ease here, dealing with it together.

Just think, anyone could have found that body, this situation could've been happening to someone else. Someone else's family could be contemplating the best option for their childrens safety. The boy's family, Kyle's family, they obviously are in mourning, but I'm sure they wouldn't want someone elses education spared at the unfortunate happening that ended their loved ones life. What if that boy had never been found? Then his family would have nothing, so it's lucky he was found, but unfortunately it was Torin.

Re-reading this, I sound real big, pompus, smart and like someone who has had a decent upbringing. Let me tell you, I haven't. I'm an orphan, lacking family, lacking reassurance, lacking self belief. But I've gotten through my final year with the help, guidance and lifeline of your son. He needs his education. And people need him. To brighten up a rainy day, or even just for a joke around, he holds decent serious talks too. Anything, and thats just him.

He is the brother I never had, and I love him with all my heart. If anything I'll love him more and more each day, totalling to an amount that no-one has ever witnesses before, and probably more than I will ever love any future family.

Yours,
Tammy Wood
Hufflepuff Prefect
Seventh Year

It seemed perfect... though the mention of werewolves filled him with a strange anger every time that he reached that part.

He summoned his owl, tied the letter to her leg and sent her off on her way.

LovegoodBroadway · 10-28-2009, 02:26 AM

Bella made it up to the owlery.
"oooo the owls are cute, but it was a little stinky in the room since there was poo everywhere, if Choluna was here, Choluna would be freaking out." she thought.
Well Bella looked back at her note, making sure it didn't need anymore writing in it.

Note:

Quote:

Dear Mum and Dad,
Sorry I didn't write to you sooner but I knew we were moving back to Norwich so I thought I sould waait til you guys were all moved in. Well Hogwarts is great, I've made some friends and they are really nice to me. I'm in the house ravenclaw, just like you mum! I've been having fun in my classes and I love charms class. Our teacher was showing us how to do magic without using wands, and there was this big comotion about the grounds keeper, the teacher's hair turned blue, its just crazy in that class. I've been taking some quitich lesson too which are really fun. Send me a letter back soon, oh and be careful with the owl, its the schools. Oh and my friend Keeley can morf into things, it so fantastic!

Love
Bella Chloee Lovegood
P.S. I love the book you sent me, wonderful story.

"Letter seems put well together, well for me it is," thought Bella.
"Now to pick out an owl."
Bella went over to all the owls. Lets see.
ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
ahha! now this owl looked like a nice owl, snowwhite with some brown and read feathers. sure he was a little dirty, but still adorable. So she took her letter and tried it to the owl's leg. She watched as the owl flew out into the sky

wait, it was norwich right?

lets see they'd lived in Canterbury, Chichester, Derby, Exete, Leicester, Liverpool, Norwich, Peterborough, Preston, Salisbury, St Albans, Truro, and Worcester , 1,2,3,4,5......... 7,1111,

yes it was norwich, few.

*Holmesian Feline* · 10-28-2009, 08:06 PM

Having gotten the heads up that her teammate had sent off her note, Ainsley headed up to the owlery, careful to appear calm and normal not suspecious especially when she noticed she wasn't alone. Her actions deliberate almost as if not entirely her own. She looked up at the ceiling hoping her owl Indy was there and not off flying and hunting, smiling when his familiar shape was spotted in the rafters amonst the others. "Come Indy," she called holding out her arm as she had been taught, the bird answering and flying to perch on her shoulder.

"I need you to send this out as quick as you can," the gryffindor girl instructed taking out the rolled note from her pocket and handing it to the spotted bird. The owl giving a hoot as if to say he understood. Giving him a scratch in his favorite spot Ainsley let the bird go, the owl flying off as its owner turned and left the tower to return downstairs to her studies as if nothing.

Rawr! · 10-30-2009, 01:25 AM

Lyddia walked up the Owlery steps into the room filled with owl droppings and the owls themselves. She sat down in a corner and took out a piece of parchment and a quill. Then she began to write,

Quote:

Cody,

Listen, I know you probably don't want to hear from me right now, but I really don't care at the moment. The way I see it, you're still my best friend no matter what happened, and I'm going to talk to you like nothing did.
This boarding school is actually pretty nice. There's loads of people, not what I'm used to, as you very well know, but it's really nice.

I've met a few people, one of them more intriguing then others and I happen to have come by Carmela. It really was a shock when I saw her. I knew she would be going to a boarding school as well, I just didn't think it'd be mine.
Carmela's fine too by the way, in case you haven't spoken to her. Although, you probably have, it's not like anything happened between the two of you, why would you stop talking to her like you did with me?

I got a ferret. Name's Terref at the moment. I change it all the time because that's just how I am. It's actually a boy, but sometimes I say it's a girl. Also because I feel like it.

Admittedly I'm not really on top of my homework. But I mean come on, before, I had all the time I wanted to finish it considering Dad was barely ever home. He never really had deadlines for me. Ha, I remember that time I went over a month without doing anything and when Dad finally settled for my next lesson, he had completely forgotten about the homework he gave me.

If you've read this far without ripping up the letter, which I assume you would have done the second my Dad walked away after handing it over to you, then I really would like to apologize.

I never meant to throw away our friendship the way I did, especially considering what you had said only a couple days before. Do you remember that? The day we were all at the park playing in the sprinklers? Do you remember what you said to me? About what that boy had said to you about us? I guess, I should have taken that as a sign to back off, but I didn't and I probably won't ever be able to explain why.

I want you to know, though, that it was recent that I began to think about you that way. It's not like our whole friendship was me pining over you and you thinking of me as just a sister or best friend. I don't know exactly when it started, but I do know that it was that summer. I don't know what happened. Things just...changed.

I don't expect a letter back. I don't even expect you to read this. I just wanted to know that if our friendship really is lost, that I did try to get it back. And although you might never begin to think of me that way I also want you to know that I will never stop being there for you, and that I will never stop loving you as my brother, because you've always been that way to me.

So yeah, that was all I wanted to say.

Best of luck,
Lyddia

Lyddia finished her letter and rose to tie it onto a school owl's leg. When this was done, she carried the owl over to the window and let it fly away before she could regret her actions. She didn't stay to watch it carry her letter away, but instead headed to the exit as soon as the owl left her arm and returned to her dorm.

Lockhartian · 11-03-2009, 02:15 AM

Unbelievable. Simply unbelievable. How come Kaika has been carrying around with this for a week?!

It's just...well, she had an excuse. NEWTs and Quidditch. Yeah. Two excuses. Though, there are no excuses when it comes to friends, and not when it comes to Savannah. She was so pleased to hear from her that almost instantly she wrote something back, except...she never owl it, until...NOW.

Quote:

Savannah,

You cannot imagine how happy I am after receiving your letter. Your owl is cute (if it is yours, of course).

Long overdue? I was supposed to write you last year, and it was all so crazy and complicated. Oh, by the way, we won the Quidditch Cup last year (you'll find a picture of the team included with this) and, well, my Seventh Year is working out alright since I'm mostly focusing on studying and Quidditch, of course. Our Quidditch match is almost here, I'll let you know how Quidditch went this year when it's over.

Yes, everything is well, I think. At least there's no flooded Common Room this time around. It's weird, truth be told, that everything is so...quiet, you know how Hogwarts used to be, and this is rather...uneventful.

Not sure whether it's a good or a bad thing, though.

Now, I couldn't help but notice on this 'Savannah Mae-Diggory'...this means...did you guys get married?! If so, congratulations! And if not, then let Curt know that I ask 'why not?'...also, show him the picture of the team, I'm sure he'll be glad to know we won.

And most importantly, how are you? What are you guys doing? Tell me, tell me.

I'm off to class, but I'll write soon...for real.

Hugs and kisses,
Kaika

PS. Watch my owl, it bit Rapunzel once.

However, she wasn't ready to give Snowy her letter, because there was another one, and a gift, too.

Quote:

Dear Vannie,

I was supposed to owl this at the beginning of the year, and time has certainly flew by because now the school year is almost over.

Let's start at the beginning. I'm sending you a Burberry custom-made scarf for your graduation (it's the white box I'm sending). I'm so terribly sorry that I couldn't send you this sooner but I was all summer at a Quidditch Camp in America, and then at Hogwarts...and then I don't know where the time went to. Anyway, I never got a chance of saying goodbye, but since we'll be seeing each other I don't think a goodbye is necessary.

I don't know how you managed to be a Seventh Year and also being involved in Quidditch, but I'm getting there. Perhaps that's why it took me so long to send out this letter.

Now, tell me. How are you? What have you been up to? How's...Miles? I really cannot remember his name, is it Miles? Let me know.

I have to go, but I'll write as soon as I get some Quidditch results for you.

Love,
Kaika

PS. Snowy bit Rapunzel once, so...be careful.

Wait! Do you think it's over? No, time to catch up.

Quote:

To a Miss Rapunzel Black,

Punz! Have you heard?! The World Cup is nearly here! Who are you going with? Besides Ryan, that is. I was thinking that maybe we could go with a group, or something, it's only a matter of letting others know. I know that Curt would like to go, and if I heard correctly Savannah will be included as well.

Let me know what you think.

By the way, my brother went to an Appleby Arrows-Chudley Canons match and I reminded him to watch out for you guys. He says you played amazingly great, but he said he could do a better job than Ryan. I certainly laughed, he's only ten.

Kaika

And, that was it, right? Yes. Snowy hooted, because she was quite annoyed at the fact that she had a long flight, but Kaika simply smiled at her owl, knowing that everyone was going to receive their letter. "Be back soon, alright?" she said, and watched the owl disappear into the sun.

Now...back to...wherever it is she was.

Felixir · 11-18-2009, 05:06 PM

So, it seemed all the letters Jake had wanted to send could now actually be sent, since his owl was back. And some of them were... less than happy, to be quite honest. And some were... cryptic...

His letter writing was taking on a morbid kind of twist. There was no letter to his foster mother; he didn't want to lie and tell her everything was okay, nor did he want to tell her everything was NOT okay.

The rest... well, Jake sighed as he gave Fly a bundle of letters, and the creature looked at him as if he was insane.

"Hey, you rrrrecovered from Seattle, dun look at me lllike tha'," the boy retorted, because arguing with an owl was just the thing to do. Fly seemed to give him a look, and stuck out his leg. "Good boy," Jake grinned.

Quote:

~~Mr. Upstead~~

~~Dad~~
Hi,

I just wanted to apologise for not coming home last summer, even though I did tell you back then. I was well looked after, and I'm sure that you are aware I have a foster mother now. It's sad that the last time I saw you was when you met me at the hospital, and don't worry, I'm not holding that against you TOO much.

That's all I can really think of saying. Tell ~~your wife and ryan and~~ Dale I said I'm sorry I won't see him again. Tell him I miss him.

I... don't know how to sign off from this letter,
Jake.

Quote:

Mother? If I can still call you that.

I have a new foster mother now. I won't be back to live with you, so you don't have to keep telling dad to force me to live with you again. My foster mother is a very nice person, and it's just me and her, but SHE manages to make me feel nice and I love her.

See you around
Jake

Quote:

Kayla,

I want to see you again. They don't want me to see you again. I can't write much more, but I miss you.

Jake

Quote:

Healer Nova,

This is Jake Upstead. Remember me? I'd be surprised if you didn't. I was alot better earlier in the year, but I think you might have to see me again sooner than you would have liked. I'm going mad... they think I killed someone which is stupid, but it's their reasoning that I'm worried about. Thank you for the birthday card you and the other Healers sent. And sorry it took so long to write back.

Jake Upstead.

Jake was just about to send fly off, when he realised he couldn't just go without writing to his mother. Grabbing a piece of parchment, Jake scrawled something quickly on it and gave it to Fly, who then flew away.

Quote:

Mum... My new mum.

I miss you, and I can't wait until summer.

Love Jake

seusslover14 · 11-21-2009, 07:13 PM

Kylie didn't have one of her own owls, though she wanted one, so she used a school owl for the first time all year. She attached a three notes to its foot.

Quote:

Dear Mum and Dad,
I really miss you guys. Everything here is so crazy! I've made a lot of new friends this year.. real friends.. can you believe it? At home, with all the hiding. *Sigh*. I'll be glad to come home and spend some time with you and Brett.
Lots of love,
Kylie Jayde

she giggled remembering that she'd signed with her more.. official name, for her parents sake.

Quote:

Brett-
Hey. I miss my big brother! I.. er.. well, I also had to tell you.. I gave away your bracelet. I hope you still have yours. But, basically I was a huge jerk to this girl when I met her and I needed to give her something to make up for it. I'm super sorry, I know it.. well, I know it means a lot to both of us. I just needed to somehow say 'I'm sorry." I hope you understand. I really, really miss having you around. You were my only friend until I came here, you know? But, now I've got a few friends of my own.. friends that I won't have to hide from. *smirk*. I'm becoming someone different here. I'm not as.. afraid, almost. I know I was never really nervous or anything like that at home, but when I first came here.. that's how it was. If you remember. I'm stronger now, I truly believe that. I hope all is well with you.
Love,
K-J

Quote:

My dearest grandmother,
You were so right about Hogwarts. Thank you for all you've taught me. My studies have been a breeze with the spells and stuff you've been forcing down my head. You were also right that I'd find peace her and become who I was meant to be. I think I can see it happening, in a way. Thank you for showing me who I truly was.
Love
Kylie

She sighed as she wrapped the second two notes around the owl's leg. She patted it atop the head as it cooed at her. She hoped her fourteen-year-old brother wasn't mad at her. She knew her grandmother and parents had just been wanting to hear from her for a while. She smiled, sending the owl off to deliver her messages.

Rawr! · 11-28-2009, 12:08 AM

Lyddia walked up to the Owlery and took out her quill and parchment. She spends way too much time here, she realized. Always coming and going with new words on paper. Well, she might as well start writing.

Quote:

Dad,
Things have been going fine don't worry about me. I'm glad to hear you've got all these plans for the summer though, I can't wait to see you either. And you know what? We're getting closer to the summer anyhow, I'll be home soon enough. So please don't worry about me, and trust me, there's nothing going on between me and Cody, we're not mad at each other, even ask him.
And no, I haven't told him, you don't need to worry about that either, I haven't told any of them. Well, excluding Carmela, obviously.
I'll see you very soon, Dad.
Love,
Lyddia

Lyddia wrote out replies to all the gang's letters from before, which was basically all just chitchat and things like, 'when are you coming home?'. Then came Cody's letter.

Mr. Mcguff {Chyeah, I called you Mr. Mcguff.},
I'll be coming home soon, calm yourself. I know you miss me like crazy and you can't live without me but you'll have to manage for a bit longer.

I can already hear you laughing at me, shush up. Whatever, Dad's got some stuff planned out for this summer. He says we should all go to an amusement park sometime then and that he's going to talk it out with you guyses parents. So, that'll be fun. And you can look forward to that.

Me and Carmela haven't been talking much at all. I'm starting to get rather annoyed with her. I never see her and the times that I do don't exactly make up for it. If I ever see her again, I probably won't even be too happy about it anymore. I'd probably tell her to go away.

So yeah, that's what's happening now. There's a threat to the gang. Alert them all.

I'm being sarcastic, by the way, I'd rather you not tell them, ~~they'd probably end up sending me mounds of Howlers.~~
Uhm, let's pretend I didn't say that last part. ~~Just don't ask me what Howlers are.~~

Yeah, you know, I think I'm going to go now. I keep messing this up so, yeah.

Lyddia

Lyddia sighed. It was hard sometimes, having Muggle friends. You can never tell them anything.
Lyddia got up and called her Dad's owl, Howie, over to her. She tied the many letters to it's leg and let it fly out the window. She watched as it disappeared inthe sky and then happily, yet sadly, made her way down the Owlery steps.

Letters, letters and more letters. Eva Longwood had to admit she had been to overly distracted to send a response to any of the letters she had received. She had started out for the easiest one, the mandatory letter she was supposed to send her mother. Now, she was carrying five different letters for five different people.

Mother: checked.

Quote:

School is okay. Everything is fine. Ellie didn't fall from any brom lately.
Do not worry.
Eva

Luce: checked.

Quote:

Luceeeeeee!

I miss you sooooo much. Especially now. I have news and for that I hope you are reading this alone, sat down in a chair. Because this is not going to be easy to write.
Remember me telling you about Helios Sunrider? He showed up dead, Luce. He showed up dead here, in the trophy room. He had been murdered. This is scary. Back in October, during halloween, another boy had been murdered. Nobody knows a damn thing! Helios and I were supposed to be investigating these happenings: the werewolves, the teacher's suspicions, the students... Now, two students are dead, one of them who was personally involved. ~~Plus, I found out he had a fiancée. But that's not important now.~~ You these types of things. Two students murdered? I have no clue what's going on here, but I don't like the sound of this.
Here's a fact: strange things are happening in the castle.

I needed to talk to someone about this and you seemed like the best person to do so. I have to tell you, I am scared. What am I supposed to do now?

Love you,
Eva
or
a very lost person needing some guidance who also knows her godmother will say she's asking the right questions to the wrong person.

Jake Rider: checked.

Quote:

Dear Mr. Rider,

I'm sure you know who I am. I, myself, only found out about your existance after you and Luce broke up. And little did I know that you were Rachel Rider's uncle. Anyway, I need your help. I know you'll probably will tell to go fishing, but hey, I have to try.
Is there a good time for me to speak to you face to face?

Thank you very much for your time,
Luce's goddaughter, Eva Longwood.

Ryan Finche: Oh. Merlin! I forgot it! Eva had comepltely forgot she had promised Nick to write an encouraging letter to Ryan. The girl would be back to England in just a few months and soon she'd be at Hogwarts for her first year as an Hogwarts students. The truth was that Eva didn't feel like writing encouraging lletters about Hogwarts. Two studentds were dead, Helios being one of them. How were the students supposed to deal with the fact that Hogwarts wasn't safe anymore?
And for once in that shcool year, Eva felt really glad she was already graduating.

Being a cat person meant that Anastasia did not, nor never had, owned an owl. Nor did she have any desire to... obviously. It was just much easier to deal with filthy birds as little as possible by borrowing school owls when she had to send a letter.

Today she was sending a letter to her friend. ~~Her one friend.~~ Georgia Mayes. Dear dear dear George would be needing all the help she could get, really, and of course Annie was more than willing to offer unwanted advice about everything under the sun.

Sort of.

She click-clacked into the Owlery and marched over to the...er... wall of owls, tapping the letter in her hand as she contemplated which owl to use... they all smelled equally bad....

So he was now an engaged man and of course he would have to let his family know. Officially of course, Joshua probably already knew. Marcus, made the long walk up to the owlery, whistling 'Here comes the bride' as he climbed up the stairs.

He would have just sent a patronus to his family with the news but he knew his brother liked it when the owls delivered the mail. Marcus, smiled a little at that thought, his brother was weird sometimes.

Finally reaching the stop of the stairs, Marcus pushed open the door with a bang and looked around the room and his eyes fell on...Anastasia Bunbury.

Oh how ironic that was. There stood the woman he ALMOST proposed to. Marcus, lent against the door frame in a casual manner a small smile on his face. He had to admit the woman was still as gorgeous as ever but she had nothing on Iliana. "You want to be careful there Annie. Owl poo is deadly on designer shoes."

Annie had taken one step forward and toward a golden-ish-fluffy owl, but took a step back at the voice coming from the doorway. She squinted at the door in the afternoon sunlight but then recognized him. Ahhhhhha. Marcus.

"These old things?" The redhead blew him off with a swish of her hand. Of course they were hardly more than a few weeks old but she wasn't going to let him get to her. Because she didn't care what Marcus had to say or if he happened to notice how the green matched her robes perfectly and contrasted her hair nicely.

Didn't care.

"So.... did you stalk me all the way to the Owlery, Axe?" She turned back to the owls and made a 'come here' motion to the golden one. Of course it didn't budge.

His smile widened even more at her remark because he knew that's exactly what she was going to say. "Now, now Annie, don't go flattering yourself thinking that I am following you around." No. Those days were definitely over. "I'm here to send a letter to my family." Marcus, took the envelope out of his pocket and held it up for her to see, so that she would know that he was telling the truth. Of course she should know that he never lied.

Marcus, pushed off the door frame and sauntered over to her. With his free hand he took out an owl pellet and held it out to the owl that she was trying to coax down from its perch. It promptly flew down and landed on his hand and he gave it the treat. He turned his head to look at Annie, a small twinkle in his eye. "See what happens when you are nice? You tend to get the same treatment in return." And he wasn't just talking about the owl either.

"So how have you been Anastasia? Been a while since I last saw you." Actually Marcus, couldn't even recall the last time that he had seen her.

"Writing home eh? Really Marcus, I wouldn't have pegged you for the homesick type." Anastasia shook her head and watched him just strolllllling around the owlery, coaxing her owl over with a smelly little treat. He always was too good at everything.

Annie couldn't help her nose wrinkling at both the insinuation about being nice and at the smell of the owl up close. "Are you using that one?" she gestured toward the bird. "Or," Annie cleared her throat, "may I borrow an owl pellet to go be nice to a different one?"

Ha.

"I've been fine. Not the best term around here but...... you know.... it got better." A little time away from school helped too. "What about you, Marcus?"

He seemed a little... different. Less annoying for some reason.

Giving the owl a small stroke with his hand, Marcus chuckled softly. Annie always had something to say whether it was nice or not. "Not exactly homesick Annie but I do certainly miss them." Especially Joshua, but Annie had never liked Joshua probably because he saw what she was truly like before Marcus worked it out for himself. "No, I have some news that I needed to tell them."

He looked at her surprised and reached into his pocket and pulled out another owl pellet. Marcus, handed it over to her wordlessly. He was in far too good a mood to tease her about handling the pellet.

Ah yes he remembered the incident she'd had with Jake and although he was still a little annoyed about that, he trusted that Ethan had spoken to her about it. And besides he wasn't particularly happy with Jake at the moment anyway. The kid had actually attacked him. Now that was gratitude for you.

Shaking himself, he gave Annie a huge smile. "I have been excellent Annie. The best thing has happened to me actually." He held up the envelope in his hand again, "Hence the news to my family."

News, eh? What sort of news could Marcus possibly have? Annie eyed him and his letter a bit suspiciously. Granted, it really wasn't any of her business but......

....she always had been a curious Bunny. Of course Annie snatched it out of his hand with her free one and started fanning it about and holding it up toward the light of the window as if she could see through thick parchment and envelopes.

"What is this? Did you.... start playing your guitar again? Did you get a promotion? Did you get a great deal of galleons from a good gamble? Did you win a lifetime supply of chocolates?" she smirked a bit at the last suggestion and turned back toward him, her own letter temporarily forgotten.

"Well well well. What has Axe Lawson been up to lately?" As if she cared.

Typical Anastasia has to know everything that is going on with everyone else. Marcus, didn't bother to try and get the letter back off her. It was what she wanted and he'd many years of her games. "Seriously Annie, you should be working at the Daily Prophet. Your nosiness is wasted here."

It would be so easy to summons the letter back to him with a mere flick of his wand that was now in his hand but she seemed so intent on knowing what his news was, he decided to give her just what she wanted. Like he always did.

"I was merely informing my family, that I am getting married."

Now there was a bombshell for ya!

"Why thank you, Marcus, I've always thought I would make a fine reporter myself." Of course she could easily see herself in pumps and a fedora and lipstick to match her trench coat... she'd need one in every color, oh, and patent leather handbags to match and a little notebook with a quill to match all that.....

She shook her head for a second to clear away such ridiculous plotting and had to blink several times at Marcus' small announcement. Married. Really. Really?

"Pardon me, I spaced there for a second and thought I heard you say something about marriage." Annie actually laughed and took a step back toward him, wafting the letter about still. "C'mon Axe. What's your real good news? I can be happy for you."

But not about marriage... because surely he was joking about that....

Folding his arms across his chest, Marcus watched Annie intently for her reaction. Not that it mattered what she thought but he had to admit he was curious as to see how she was going to take the news.

He caught her wrist in his hand and tapped the envelope with his wand, not taking his eyes off her. "I'm serious Annie. I am getting married." Marcus nodded towards the now opened letter in her hand. "Read it for yourself" he said quietly, still watching her intently.
