Has anyone ever tried blending magic and technology? What were your results?

I'm really curious if there's a tried and true way to combine the two. Since they both work with energies within the world I would think there is, but I haven't been able to find a good cross point for them yet.

From the books about my world? Loads of people have read those. I think it's brilliant.

Do you have to hide your magic, then, and try to blend into the non-magical world?

Yeah, I'm one of them. I've read them all more than once.

Yes. I'm from a small town, so there's always a lot incidents with animal attacks, gas leaks and mind wiping when the supernatural population gets out of control.

A fan! I love meeting fans.

Ah, yes, that sounds somewhat familiar. Certainly there have been times when Obliviators are called in to erase the memories of a muggle who's stumbled across something they shouldn't.

Guilty. I can't remember the amount of times I wished there had been some place like Hogwarts for me.

Mostly we'd use vampires. They have compulsion capabilities to make people think what they want. It can be useful when ordinary people start to notice weird things.

It really is a shame everyone can't go. Hogwarts is brilliant.

Interesting! I hadn't heard of vampires having that ability. [...] Potentially also makes them a bit more dangerous, too, doesn't it?

I can only imagine.

Yes, they are. Depends on the kind of person they are though. But then that makes me potentially dangerous because of what I can do as well.

It's a shame I didn't get to know you before Christmas. I got a whole Hogwarts feast from Santa. [...] Which still isn't the whole Hogwarts experience, of course, but it's one of the best parts!

Of course, I completely agree. Potentially dangerous doesn't make anyone a bad person, and anyone with powers has the choice whether or not to abuse them.

I wasn't here then, though that sounds amazing and I'm so jealous I missed it.

Exactly. Though that being said, I've met some vampires who are massive assholes. But I've also met some that I love. But I think they're a lot different in my world than they are yours.

With any luck, I'll be able to ask for it again next Christmas.

Same could be said of wizards from my world. Some would even argue I'm one of the massive assholes, or at least was, and they wouldn't be entirely wrong. But yes, it does sound as though they are different. Vampires in my world [...] are not as feared as werewolves, but not very much more socially acceptable, in a lot of places.

Don't tease my stomach.

One of my friends was a werewolf. I think it's the opposite in my world, werewolves are more of a danger around the full moon, but vampires are potentially dangerous always. Witches, vampires and werewolves are usually at war or hold some unsteady truce with each other. I think my group of friends is a rare exception to the rule.

We have Molly Weasley here, she's equally good. You should get into her good graces before she gets back to her kitchen, then she'll feed you.

That's an interesting difference. And not untrue, I've always thought that werewolves got an unfair rap. Although there are also many who entirely deserve their bad reputations. [...] Are you a motley, assorted band of friends, then? That's the best kind.

I would love nothing more, except I have no idea how to do that. I'm pretty sure showing up at her door would just be weird.

Yeah. We've lost a few, permanently, but our little circle of trust has has vampires, werewolves, witches, humans, hunters, Hunters Capital, I was even a ghost for a while.

Let me know if you manage to talk to her somehow, otherwise I could probably invite you to something. There might be a group of magical folk starting up - although people have considered it before and not done much with it - so that might be a way to meet her, potentially.

You were a ghost? How did you get un-ghosted?

I saw the talk of a potential group for magic. But hearing that I'm not sure it will actually take off. Hopefully I'll find a way to meet her, she seems like such a badass.

It involved having dead ancestors willing to bend the rules of the afterlife, and some alternate dimension travelling. It took a while.
