EDGAR BONES: 31 October, 1966

Oliver!

Halloween here at Hogwarts is brilliant!

We had a huge feast tonight, almost as big as the one at the start of the term. There was heaps of food on every table! There was roast beef and peas and cake and chicken and pie and potatoes and ice cream and more! Imagine all the food at one of Mum’s dinner parties and then imagine 10 50 ( Read more... )

A note about Edgar's "Code"...
I think it's solvable...
However, if not, copy and paste the message into http://www.thunk.com/ and click "unscramble!"

Look, I have a hundred things I have to do. Why do you have to go and post something that I utterly cannot resist sitting down with a pencil and piece of paper to try to decode? I have no willpower and I cannot resist Edgar and his codes. Shame on you!

*ducks head*
Sorry!

So... Have you figured it out? ;-)

*grins mischievously*
Of course, if you run out of time and energy to solve it, you could always cheat use the link in the above comment to get the answer immediately... ;-)

I'm very glad someone wanted to try to decode it, btw.

Happy Halloween Edgar!

That's a really neat code! I'm going to try to work it out and see what it says! *glances around, whispering conspiratorally* How'd you figure out a code like that?

Happy Halloween, Ted!!

*quietly*
Thanks! I'll tell you if you get it right!
*whispers*
Well, I just sort-of flipped some letters around... You'll see, once you crack it...

Of course, how did I figure out a code like that... good ole google...
;-)
But then, Edgar is much cleverer about codes than I am...

*grinning* Did you see when the bats started dive bombing at Professor Sprout's hat? Wasn't it brill?!

*nods, smiling conspiratorally* I'm going to go upstairs and figure it out right now! It's a real good sort of code, I bet your Mum'll never figure it out.

Oh, yes. Young boys know how to do things like codes. :)

*laughs*
That was really funny!!

*dreamily*
Wouldn't it be neat to have a pet bat... You could teach it to dive bomb people on command...

*frowns slightly*
I hope my mum won't be able to figure it out...
*bites his lip*
You'll let me know if it's too easy, won't you?

Well, of course they do! Especially when, as I imagine Edgar did, they spend all their free time trying to create the perfect code!

Very good code work Edgar!

Ever think about being an auror?

We could use someone like you at the Academy.

*giggles* Great code!

Th-thank you, sir. But... but... m-me? Um... As an... an...
*squeaks*
auror?

*shakes his head and regains some coherency*
Um, yeah, great! Yeah, that'd be... that'd be brilliant!!

Thanks!

Can't have the bad guys knowing what we're up to now can we? Codes are very important.

You think about it and let me know.

Nope! I mean, no, sir. We can't have bad guys knowing what we're up to...
*mutters*
Bad guys or Mums...

Have you written any codes, sir?

*nods quickly*
Yes, sir! I'll think about, sir! And, thank you!

Great code! I figured it out! *does the victory dance*

*sniffs*

The feast was all right; but I thought Nearly-Headless Nick's re-enactment was a bit tacky.

*whispers*

Have you been working on your shield charm?

brave_phoenix March 1 2006, 05:28:54 UTC
Yay! *high-fives*
Thank you, but I cannot claim the great code, as I found it online and it was too good to pass up!
;-)
Though it did take some work to get a sentence and a few words for people to actually figure it out!

Tacky?! I thought it was great!
*eyes twinkle*
Do you think he'd perform at parties?

*nods quickly*
*whispers*
I've been practicing a lot... I think I'm starting to get the hang of it...

Plus, I've been really, really careful about what I write home to Oliver about...

Extremely tacky! You'd never see the Bloody Baron doing something like that.

*rolls her eyes*

I'm sure he would if you asked him. It must be unutterably dull being a ghost.

Good! Did you want to have a practice lesson or two before...you know?

*sigh of relief*

*smiles*

Wonderful! It wouldn't do to give anything away. We're going to be extra careful this time.

*gently*
I was joking about him performing at parties...
*now interested*
But you really think he'd do it?

*nods*
*quietly*
Yes. Yes, I think we should practice again before... well... you know...

*beams*
I know! It was hard not to tell him about it, cause it's just so exciting! All I said was that I might be able to tell him about a project in a couple weeks... But, only, only if he could read my code...
