Chapter 6

Our Darling D,

Jo is not around at the moment, he’s off hunting for the right owls for a very special thing we are doing. We wanted to write it together but this needed to be sent immediately and Jo had to charm the owls so they could cooperate. In case you are curious (Don’t lie, we know you are) this very special thing we are doing,we, as in including you, shall be conducting an experiment.

Here are the details:

Experiment Title: Owlery Wonders Leaked Successfully (O.W.L.S for short)

Objective/s:

Be able to figure out the owl posting and delivery schedule

Be able to figure out if the owls just knows who to give the letter to

Be able to communicate without an address

(Feel free to add)

XO,

Ker Honey,

I’m still wondering if you hate owls.

I don’t see this experiment being beneficial for Hogwarts but yes, this could be a start to see if it is valid and reliable for actual Ministry Appointed Delivery/er Owls to undergo this kind of experiment for research purposes. We can’t have owls to agree on informed consents and such but this could be a fun experiment, considering it is a rather curious subject. A lot of people write owls off to just being smart magical creatures but I figure there is more to it than that.

It is a good thing Jo was the one hunting for the right owl/s, since you seem to be adverse to the idea of being near one. It is quite amusing though, I thought it was Jo who is going to be like this because an owl landed on top of his head once, remember?

I shall accept the nonexistent invitation (though it is ‘implied’ I am to partake) to indulge in this experiment with the both of you.

Yours,

D

Our darling D,

Hey there, darling D! Long time, no write. Did you miss your sweetheart? I, for one, sure did miss you! Ker was sulking for a bit when we received your message but I can assure you that he is now okay. Stop teasing him so much! You know he’s quite sensitive /wink/. Okay, you know I’m kidding so I’ll stop.

I’m so glad you’ve decided to accept our heavily implied request for you to partake in this experiment!! We are so excited! We actually didn’t think of the M.A.D Owls, we were just hiding in the Owlery when we thought of undergoing an experiment pertaining to them, but good thinking there darling! You never cease to amaze us.

As for Ker, he’s actually searching for the owl that landed on top of my head, we wanted it to be part of our experiment no matter what but when I looked for it, I couldn’t find it. Well, since it landed on MY head, I only saw a glimpse of it, but Ker remembers that day so fondly since it’s the day something hilarious happened to me instead of him…or perhaps it was because it was the day we received your letter, whichever it is, Ker remembers the owl. Maybe you can help him with it?

In line with this, I have successfully convinced ten owls to be our test subjects! Such an achievement is worth reporting to you, am I right?

Have you thought of a few objectives yet so we can add it in?

XOXO,

Jo Sweetheart

P.S Ker would like to say he doesn’t hate owls and adds to the objective: “Be able to know if owls hate you or not” because of your teasing.
