Meanwhile in America...
Who: Draco Malfoy
What: A summons, of sort
When: 22 April 2009
Where: Draco's office, Le' Académie Vieux Carre', NOLA
Rating: PG-13 (for language)Conversely, creating a spell specifically designed to interfere with brain runs the risk of permanently damaging the still-developing central nervous system, and must be considered nefas in anyone younger than sixteen. For reasons such as this, students below the collegiate level are not allowed to study the Unforgivables and other spells and hexes known to reconfigure-
Sitting behind his desk in his office, Draco felt the air shift behind him, the flapping of wings. The essay in his hands forgotten, he looked back behind his shoulder, his eyes widened at the sight of its origin - a barn owl. An English barn owl.
Owls weren't as commonly used here as they were in Britain. Americans, such as they were, liked having more flashy choices in communications. Owls, yes, but also pigeons, cardinals, parrots, geese up north - Draco himself used a peregrine falcon on those few occasions he needed to send a message to someone out of town.
Standing perfectly still while Draco's mind wandered off in his reverie, the owl extended his leg, as if to remind him of his urgent business. Shaking his head, Draco dropped the research paper he was grading and slipped the note off the leather cuff, indicating to the bird a sunny perch in the corner of the room where he could rest and eat. The crisp parchment surprised him even more than the owl - sealed with red wax, bearing the recognisable Gringotts mark. A note from home, he thought wryly to himself. Lovely.
