EDGAR BONES: 5 September, 1966

Feb 21, 2006 13:46

Mum!

Another Howler? Why!? I haven’t even had enough time to get into trouble again!

I was just joking about going on another adventure with Bellatrix Black. Really! I was just writing it in code to see if you Oliver could read it. Obveeosly Obviosly Clearly I need to make the code much harder easier since you could read he needed you to ( Read more... )

:shuffles up, hands in pockets:

Shit, Ed...sorry about the Howler. I'm alway so grateful my Mum has no idea what they are...

brave_phoenix February 21 2006, 21:50:39 UTC

*fumes slightly*
I just can't believe my mum knew how to read the part of Oliver's letter that I wrote in code!
*shakes his head*
But it's okay, Len...
*grins impishly*
After the first one, they sort-of lose their impact...

So you've never gotten a Howler, huh?

len_mckinnon February 21 2006, 21:58:55 UTC

:tuts, shaking her head:

You secret agents :Grins:

Mum's a muggle, ain't she? So she hasn't got any idea...

Hi! Are you ever about on IM? I love the relationships that are developing between Len and Ted and Edgar and I'd love to have a chat about some of the details at some point?

brave_phoenix February 22 2006, 02:47:20 UTC

Well, I can't just have all my secrets out their for everyone to read, you know! Some things are just for Oliver's eyes!

*smiles*
Sounds like a definite advantage to have a mum who's a muggle.

*winks*
Have you done many things that would deserve getting a Howler, Len?

Yes, yes! I'd love to chat about Len, Ted, and Edgar's friendship some time! I'm not regularly on IM, but I could certainly plan to be at a specific time -- just let me know when! I'm usually available after 8 PM EST on weeknights (except Thursdays) and the closer to midnight, the more likely I am to be around. Plus, unless I'm working, I'm usually around on the weekends throughout the day. Would any of those times work for you?

*sighs*

Maybe you should just write about the weather next time.

brave_phoenix February 22 2006, 02:51:12 UTC

*flails a bit*
But I can't just write about the weather! I promised I would write to Oliver about everything and he wants to know about the good parts!

*scoffs*
And the weather's not a good part!!

sholmes87 February 22 2006, 03:49:28 UTC

Yes but "Dear Oliver, the weather here continues fine." won't have your mother sending you a howler.

I agree that the weather isn't a good part; but *shrugs* it's better than being embarrassed in front of the whole school again.

brave_phoenix February 23 2006, 00:39:55 UTC

*nearly shouting*
I wasn't embarrassed this time! After all, I haven't done anything wrong!
*grumbles*
If anyone should be embarrassed it should be my mum for falsely accusing me...
*shrugs*
And besides... at least this Howler was shorter than the last...

So... Where should we go to practice our shield spells?

Yes. And it's such fun!

orlanstamos February 22 2006, 03:15:58 UTC

Another Howler? Your mum really loves shouting at you, I guess.

And practically everyone knows that code! We'll have to find a really good one to get it past your mum.

brave_phoenix February 22 2006, 04:56:48 UTC

*exasperated*
But I didn't think my mum fell into the "practically everyone" category!! I mean, really, when did she learn it?!

*glances around*
*motions for Ted to come closer*
*lowers his voice*
But between you and me... I'm working on a new code to write to Oliver with... Rearranging letters and stuff like that...
*nods quickly*
I think it'll be much better than this old code...

orlanstamos February 22 2006, 05:47:27 UTC

She learned it when she was little probably. Pig Latin's a lot like riding a bicycle, you never forget about it.

*eyes light up and he grins, nodding*
That's a real good idea. But if your mum sees a lot of nonsense in letters, she's going to know that you're writing in code.
Oooh! Hey! What if you put the real answer in the misspellings in a letter? That way, it'll look like a real letter with bad spelling, but it'll be a code too!

brave_phoenix February 24 2006, 02:28:02 UTC

*huffy*
Sometimes I don't think my mum was ever little! She's not much fun!

*shrugs*
Yeah, but even if she knows it's a code, she still have to work it all out...
*eyebrows shoot upward*
Misspellings? What do you mean? Can you show me on a scrap of parchment?
