Open rp: Lizzy tries to send a letter

[fine_eyes_lizzy]

After a highly disturbing unexpected meeting with Mr. Darcy, Lizzy was more than willing to simply get away and attempt to write a letter to her sister, Jane.

She had penned a passable leter to her sister that said little more than that she was safe, in good health, and trapped in Scotland with Mr. Darcy for the time being, and attempted to lure an

Mungojerrie wasn't sure if he wanted to know were Mistoffelees was. The fairy cat wasn't in the common room, oddly enough. He was use to seeing his ugly face glaring at him whenever he entered. Not today though.

He wanted to know where Rumpleteazer was. They haven't spoken in days! The once inseperable pair were now...separated.

To put it simply, Mungojerrie was lonely and took to wandering castle hall ways. He was somewhat thankful that Bombalurina was in the sorting process. At least that'll give him some needed entertainment until Rumpleteazer comes to her senses.

But, um, back to wandering.

Please? Please what? Mungojerrie spun fast towards the direction of whatever it is that needed help. People that needed help normally equaled something for him to do. A distraction, if you'd call it that, from his loneliness.

"...miss?" He muttered, sneaking behind who ever this woman was. There were also lots of birds around. This made him a bit hungry. This was no time for his stomach to do the talking though. "You rang?"

"Hm? Oh, forgive me," Elizabeth replied, with some confusion. "I have been trying to send a letter to my sister, Jane, but I am not entirely sure an owl can take it to her, since she lives... in a different century."

She pointed at the owl with her letter and smiled wryly. "Besides that, I am afraid that I am no good with animals, and the owl, sensing this, refuses to budge. I would appreciate any assistance you could give me."

Big words. Scary. Right. Mungojerrie being absolutely amazing however and a self-absorbed git sometimes was able to catch the gist of what she was going on about.

"That's a problem, but..." He glanced up at the owl. "There's no harm in trying. I'll get the owl to fly. Don't worry."

Mungojerrie was an expert with birds A.K.A scaring them into submission. He stared at the owl, eye to eye, frowning in disapproval at its disobedience. He stretched out his hand menacingly and curled his fingers as if he still had claws.

"Now, I am going to run this by you once," He whispered sharply. "Listen to the nice lady over there and maybe I won't have you for supper."

Mungojerrie withdrew and spoke to the lady once more. "Give it a try now. If it doesn't work, I guess..." Insert side glance at owl. "You can just throw it out the window and hope it saves itself."

"I... thank you, sir," Elizabeth replied, with a confused smile. She tentatively held her hand out to the owl. "Ah... please come down?"

The owl, looking rather shaken, approached Elizabeth warily.

Elizabeth turned to Mungojerrie. "How do I attach the letter to the owl? Do you know?"

[catofcockney]

Mungojerrie smiled. The little rat with wings knew well.

This woman was really clueless, hm? He sighed and gestured vaguely towards the bird. "Tie it on. You do have string, right?"

[fine_eyes_lizzy]

"Er... yes," Lizzy replied, pulling a ribbon from her hair and tying the letter firmly on the owl's leg. "I thank you sir, and beg you to forgive my ignorance. I have never... used such a singular method of communication before."

[catofcockney]

"No problem," He replied. "I don't think a lot of us have."

Mungojerrie didn't understand why Hogwarts couldn't use the post like any normal human, but then again...Hogwarts didn't seem to hold the reputation of being normal.

"That all?"

[fine_eyes_lizzy]

"Yes," replied Lizzy, with a smile. "I thank you, sir, for you assistance."
