house elf delivery to Maia
A house elf brings a carved ivory figurine of an ox to Maia's room, along with an accompanying note:
I refuse to wish anyone a merry Christmas. The notion of this holiday I find appalling as the religion that spawned it. It disgraces the commemoration of the Larentalia, a serious occasion.
However, this is for you, in observance of the general gift-giving tradition that has arisen around that contemptible cult of a raving desert lunatic.
With fondest regards,
Octavian.
*** added after the above and its subsequent thread ***
A very careful and polite owl is sent to the Archangel Michael.
To Michael, librarian of Hogwarts and archangel, Gaius Julius Caesar Octavianus sends greetings.
There is a question which you are best equipped to answer. Assume that there is an evil spirit which needs protection from other evil spirits. The normal charms and amulets for such a use would harm any evil spirit, so that an evil spirit could not employ one without harming itself. Assume too that there is no moral dilemma in the equipping of said evil spirit with protection.
In such a case, what charm would be useful, in your knowledge as cosmic librarian and defender against evil?
Be well.
