[dictated:]There seems to be an unusual amount of people being turned into animals or statues lately. Does anyone know why it happens and what we can do to prevent it from happening? I don't want to risk being turned into one, especially when someone like Voldemort could show up in Paradisa at anytime. If you don't know who Voldemort is, he killed

Draco is a ferret?

[A pause while he shifts between amusement and pity. Hard to tell what to feel.]

Thank you for letting me know.

[imthechosenone]

Yes, he is. He's under the care of Ukitake now. I'm not sure when he'll return to his normal self.

Um. You're welcome.

[lord_wizard]

If it's a loss it should not be much longer than week. Or so I hear.

...I remember. You're Harry, correct?

[imthechosenone]

It's been over a week now. But considering it's Draco, the castle probably thought he deserved it.

And yes, I'm Harry. I recognize your voice. You're Lord Felix. How is the council doing?

[lord_wizard]

[That's not very nice, bro :\]

The council is just getting it's legs, but I could always use more volunteers. Draco has been quite helpful.

[imthechosenone]

[ignores the comment about Draco] What is it you need help with? I'm not very good with research. Hermione's always been brilliant at that. But the castle sent her home. If you didn't know.

[lord_wizard]

[Sighs, because he wasn't sure about that until now]

I had guessed that was the case. Research isn't all I need, however. Collecting information is good, but there is only so much I can understand from books and written reports, especially concerning magic that is unlike my own. In a lot of ways it's like starting from scratch. Hermione told me you had skill in the practical aspects of your magic.

[imthechosenone]

You want me to show you how our magic works so you can write about it?

[lord_wizard]

More or less, yes. You'll understand your magic more than I ever could, because you know the visceral aspects of it that books cannot ever accurately capture.

[imthechosenone]

Visceral?

mun had to check dictionary to make sure she used that word right

[lord_wizard]

How it feels, Harry.

ha! harry could use one

[imthechosenone]

Oh, um, right.

When do we start?

Felix = more loquacious than me

[lord_wizard]

Whenever you like.

[imthechosenone]

Has Hermione or Draco shown you any of our spells yet?

[lord_wizard]

No, not yet. I've seen one or two tiny demonstrations, but without much context.

[imthechosenone]

Is there anything in particular you'd like me to demonstrate first?
