Owls, all warded
Since all of them missed Christmas, their gifts were rather late, but still, the thought counted.

It's no problem at all. Master Yoda and I had a nice, quiet dinner in his room in Ravenclaw (lo mein and turkey, which was... odd. The cookies turned out well, though.) Reasons you don't... you know what, I'm just going to chalk it up to Hogwarts being Hogwarts. Consider yourself the recipient of a standing invitation for dinner, though.
Thank you for the raven! He's beautiful. I'm calling him Quin.
You tell him. I'm having no part of this. You two are acting like younglings, did you know that? Not that I'm not tremendously entertained by it all, but if either of you manage to maim or otherwise damage the other I will hex the responsible party until his ears fall off.

The box holds one of the glass carvings that Aayla's been working on in her spare time. This one is shaped like a raven.

I'd be delighted to had dinner sometime. Whenever it's convenient for you anyway.
I am glad you like your gift. I think the one you gave me is very beautiful.
Very well, but you must admit it is fun.

And a separate owl for Yoda, charmed to play bad 70s music upon reading.
This isn't over

"Open invitation" means "come over any time." I'm not a terribly busy person these days, as indicated by my picking up a new hobby.
Speaking of which, I'm glad you like it! It doesn't look too much like a blob, does it?

Yoda sends his own return owl. It contains a letter charmed to play "Toxic" by Britney Spears over and over and over upon losing contact with the owl bearing it.

This upcoming Friday, then? I should be caught up with paperwork by then.
No, it doesn't look like a blob. It looks very much like a raven.

Ofdensen torched it, sent one set to play 'Violent Pornography' from System of a Down, AND to stick to the hands of the person who opened it.

Sounds wonderful. I'll see you then.

Yoda didn't mind the song. The sticking, he could have done without. Thus, he was irritable. He charmed a scrap of parchment to wad itself up in the shape of a dancing baby, with accompanying music, and set it free to wander in the Hogwarts hallway in search of Ofdensen.

And Ofdensen is running out of ideas.
But like hell will he admit defeat. And there's another damned commercialism-laden holiday just around the corner.....that's it!
The next note sent to Yoda hexes him into looking like Cupid, complete with bow, arrows, and stupid outfit, or lack therof.

So the next note is charmed to, upon reading, turn whatever the reader is wearing into a metal bikini.

Mortified? Yes. Pissed off? Definitely.
But. How to top being forced into Princess Leia's bikini?
Forcing him to grow an afro, for starters.
That one required a bit more sneakiness, as Ofdensen had to slip a potion in a drink, but he bribed Ed with candy to distract while he snuck over and slipped it in.

He didn't mind the hair, though. It was rather stylin', and hadn't been that thick and lush since he was, oh, five hundred years old, he figured. Though it had never been quite that large or curly before.
Luckily for Ofdensen, he attributed this latest happening to the run-of-the-mill magicked food around Hogwarts and did not retaliate.
