Author's Notes/Warnings: Spoilers up to book 7 (HP), spoilers for season 4 & 5 (S05E08) of SPN. Part of my crossover series:
start here.
"It…is a bizarre function. You were totally right. I don't understand what anyone would use it for, or, y'know, need it for or anything."
"I don't understand its purpose, either."
"Maybe…maybe it's like a secret identity? Y'know, like when Dean and Sam pretend to be from the FBI and stuff. Maybe?"
"Humans lie so they may become presidents. Dean has said this on one occasion."
"Yeah, exactly. Oh!"
"Harry?"
"Look! I took a picture of you."
"That's not an accurate representation of my vessel. I don't have horns."
"It's cute. Oh! There's one so you can have a dog's head instead."
"I'm not a dog- or a cat."
"You're adorable, Castiel: Look!"
"I don't understand. Angels don't have halos or, or… Why is there a cloud in my face?"
"You can have a rainbow too, or a pie."

"Dude."
Sam ran a tired hand through his hair and tried to ignore how unsteady it was. "What is it, Dean?"
"Take a look at this." Dean ruffled Sam's hair as he sat down next to him on the bed. He had his phone in his hand and was scrolling through the- Sam blinked.
"You've fourteen unread texts from Cas? How'd he even know how to send a text?"
Dean snorted. "I don't think he does. Here, look." He opened one of the texts at the bottom of the list. It was an attached picture, no text, of a party hat. Not a proper hat, but one of those stupid functions you could add to whatever picture you were taking with your phone. In this case, the hat was the only still part of the picture, as if Cas had been waving the phone around while taking the photo, most likely without knowing he'd opened up the camera function. "This is like, the fifth one. So," Dean said smoothly as he scrolled to the next one, "I was thinking, instead of hitting 'save' he's been hitting 'send', and since 'Dean' comes before 'Sam'," he trailed off.
"Guess Bobby should count himself lucky we didn't put his number in," Sam filled in. "Hey, isn't that Harry?"
Dean shrugged, then laughed when the next photo came up, and a disgruntled Castiel came into view, complete with devil horns and a red, forked tail. "Guess so, or Cas' got freaky skills with invisible limbs. You know what else this explains?"
Sam shook his head. "How he goes through his fucking money like butter in the sun, man. Hey, he's got a halo on in this one." The next picture had Castiel with a cloud on top of his head and glitter around the edges
The very last photo was of Gabriel laughing his ass off. The text after that was from an unknown number and read: 'so, the kiddos don't have a fucking clue what a text is. Or a cam phone. Go figure.' And the text after that: 'hey, and send me the pic of C with the halo and the devil'.
