Getting his one Galleon's worth
Having gotten some other stuff squared away and discovering that the raven he'd bought from Ofdensen was better-tempered than half the owls at Hogwarts, Jaime sent him out on a few letter runs. Starting with one he should have sent out a while ago.
Lola,
If you have anything shiny, hide it. This guy's a lot friendlier than most of the owls here and won't peck fingers, but he's got a thing for shiny things and neckties. Fair warning.
Was down in the Sorting Room a while back and Maia was going off on yet another applicant - she's okay, but now she's gung-ho to take Maia down. I told her I'd point her in your direction since you know what Maia's like and how to deal with her without a lot of collateral damage. Her name's Deety Long, and I think she's in Ravenclaw. Mind if I send her your way?
So what do you want for Christmas? Pretend there was some kind of transition before that.

Crazy undead dude who looks like a bad Disney cartoon villain just showed up talking about how killing is fun and using house elves as target practice. And he throws fireballs. I don't think he's been Sorted, but he probably will be and he's crazier than most. Just wanted to warn you in case you saw anyone like that around.
Less depressing: what do you want for Christmas, and am I the only one weirded out by all the snow?

P.S. Got this guy from somebody in Hufflepuff. Doesn't attack your fingers or anything like half the owls here, but keep watch on any shiny things. He's got a thing for shiny things and neckties. I don't know about the second one, but the first one is true.
ETA: After Lola's reply and a little bit of thought, he sent out another message.

I'm trying to figure out what to get Lola for Christmas. You got any ideas?
