Welcome to the Owlery! Here you can send and receive letters from other players who are too far away to contact via a Patronus Missive. Here's how it works: - Once every day, you may write one letter to a player of your choice from the opposing Side. These letters will be delivered with breakfast, as is traditional. - Due to an unfortunate exclusivity clause in our Floo Contracts, you can never send a letter to your Pureblood vs Order partner. - You also cannot send your letters to the same player twice in a row, because Owls get easily bored of repeating the same flight paths. - There is a weight limit for all letters, as many of our Owls are small and overworked. Therefore letters which are longer than 2000 characters shall not be delivered. You can check the length of your letter at wordcounter.net/character-count which uses some strange Muggle magic to approximate parchment length and weight. - Once you post a letter in this thread, we will begin processing it immediately and accept no other letter in its place for the current round. Not even if you spot a typo. The deadline for Owl Post is exactly 12 hours apart from the Challenge deadlines. To send a letter you must post it in this thread before 8:30am AEST, and the Owls will deliver any letters addressed to you soon afterward (within an hour, if not immediately). Because much of magical law and order would collapse without the creatures' cooperation, the Owls have more bargaining power than any union of Muggle postmen and have demanded ORG weekends off - so there shall be no Owl Post on Friday or Saturday. The Owls have also been on an extended strike vacation since late last year, so the starting date for Owl Post in The ORG of the Phoenix has been set for this Tuesday 3 May. Thus, your first Owl Post letters must be posted in this thread before 8:30am AEST this Tuesday. Please use the following format when you post your letters: Note that the date, sender and recipient at the beginning of the letter will not count toward the character limit. If you have any questions about how the Owl Post system works, the Ministers shall gladly answer them for you here. Otherwise, we hope you enjoy the full service of the Owl Post system each day. And do take care not to upset any of the Owls!

Date: Day 3, Tuesday 3 May To: Rodolphus Lestrange From: Lily Potter
Dear Mr Lestrange,
I hope that you've settled in OK at Malfoy Manor. From memory, I always found the place a bit too cold for my liking but I can also see it's luxurious charm. It's a pity we aren't able to meet in more festive circumstances, I've never really had a taste for war but it is what it is. Nonetheless, I don't see why the arbitrarily divided lines of Pureblood/Order have to prevent us from working together. Hopefully we can find a way to help each other get through this war unscathed.
P.S. Madame Delacour wanted me to pass on that she is thinking very much of her dearest friend Monsieur Lestrange and wants to know how you're holding up. She hopes that you and my friend Crouchey are getting on OK.
Yours sincerely, Lily

A flock of owls fly overhead, and not a single one lands in front of you. Still hopeful, you wait and wait... but eventually every owls departs and still you have nothing. Then on the way out of the Great Hall, a scrap of parchment on the floor catches your eye...

You're on the Deatheaters side so why not embrace your villainy Sure, little Harry might get a tad bit triggered and butthurt, but just between you and I, I always found that owl's chirping to be annoying af Anyways my fellow bad ass bitch Tonks just asked me to let you know that she's doing well and to check in that you're settling into the Manor OK. I hope my old mate Crouchey hasn't been giving you too much trouble Don't be afraid to holler, Lily

Hmmm I assume the rest of the parchment said - do a reverse image search on the background of the Hogwarts Grounds and then travel to bit.ly/37z8quI
I wonder how they figured it out so quickly. It obviously wasn't from a parchment because both received letters yesterday

Date: Day 5, Thursday 5 May To: Lucius Malfoy From: Lily Potter Dearest Lucius, I can't believe my good fortune that you and Crouchy are tight allies as Oliver and I are also tight ![:<3](http://i.imgur.com/L3NpwEv.gif) . We've settled into an alliance with Tonks and Fleur and are (hopefully) running the Side. Let me know if there's any partner of one of your allies that you wish us to protect but as it stands, Aberforth and Dung are on the outs by count of being mostly inactive. Just a heads up though it case it gets back to your Side, I tried to warn Oliver that your alliance with Crouch was a bit on the down low but I don't think he saw my missive before he told the group chat that you were close. Thank you so much for your guidance with the HII. I have no idea how you and Crouchy figured it out so quickly because the only clue I've received is a corner with a cut off bit.ly link. Even working backwards it took me a while to be able to reverse image search the Hogwarts background to get Lisa Gunther. In any case I can confirm that I was the first on our Order to complete the challenge and I guided Oliver to claim the HII for us! It's unbelievable that our two pairs control the only two HII in the game! It'll definitely come in handy in the event of a swap or a merge. You both might also enjoy that I got up to a little mischief and tampered with the Puffs wiki library page and fed the correct answers to Oliver so that he didn't have to rush Anyway, could you pass onto Crouchy that I'm offended he thought my Patronus was a boar - is he trying to call me a pig ?! ![;-|](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/squint.png) But I do respect that he agrees that Azkaban is the best book! Anyway, let him know that I'm glad he's found a good friend in you and I look forward to joining up with you both soon. I've been using "switch" every round, but I wonder if you guys could let Oliver/I know when you're in danger by saying a codeword on the challenge field? Maybe drop in "Phoenix" so we know that you'd like to be reborn on our side? Your ally, Lily

Date: Day 8, Sunday 8 May
To: Lucius Malfoy
From: Lily Potter
Lucius
I'm glad that you and Crouch are tight because Oliver is also my tightest ally! We quickly formed an alliance with Fleur/Tonks and were in control but recent events may have shaken that alliance.
TY for your guidance with the HII. Good news: I solved the Task first on Wednesday and guided Oliver to claim the HII! It's amazing that our two pairs control two HII! Will definitely come in handy at a swap (maybe today/tmrw) or merge (Thurs?)
Bad news: almost the entire Order knows about the HII now. Fleur says Crouch sent her instructions on how to find it and she shared them with me. She's suspicious that neither of us found it. Yaxley also sent me the clues to pass to Diggle. Oliver and I believed you/Crouch/Yaxley (maybe Lestrange) were the main alliance and thus brought him in. Unfortunately, he sent the clues to Moody, Fleur (maybe Kingsley) and said it came from me. Fleur also shared it with Tonks. Oliver and I have decided that we'll still create a group missive chain with Diggles to keep him close and because you are working with Yaxley but we're very wary of his allegiances.
There's so much paranoia in the Order with regards to who has the HII and I suspect Fleur and Diggs believe that Oliver or I have it. We've all agreed to vote out Dung tonight if we lose and this remains the most likely outcome. But I wouldn't be surprised if they use this opportunity before a potential swap to blindside Oliver or I & flush the HII.
Please pass onto Crouch: I'm offended he thought my Patronus was a boar - is he calling me a pig? But let him know that I'm glad he found a good friend in you and I hope that Oliver and I will be able to link up with you both soon; I really think that the four of us could do a lot of damage together!
Finally, I've been using Switch every round but I'll leave it up to your own judgments with regards to whether it's worth you guys also using the Switch to save us if we get blindsided.
Lily

Please do not share Owl Post in PMs. Consider it a piece of you no longer hold, having sent it away. Thanks for asking first this time ![:P](http://images.proboards.com/new/tongue.png)

Date: Day 9, Monday 9 May To: Fleur Delacour From: Lily Potter Dear Fleur, How are you doing over at Mysteries? I hope you're feeling safe and in a good position. I noticed that the Order has a majority and the minority should be fractured (see below). Hopefully, this means you'll safely reach the merge. How are you feeling about Lestrange's boot? I imagine it was as much of a shock to you as it was to me. I had assumed that Crouch sending you the HII instructions was a sign that they were allied. From what I've gathered, Pyrites had been the Mundungus of their Side and the chosen boot. However, shortly before Council, Malfoy wrote to Crouch/Yax that Igor had told him about a new alliance chain that Lestrange had formed (RL/RAB/HK/IK). Apparently Malfoy was threatened by this new alliance and worried that booting Pyrites would put them in the minority and they'd be in danger at the next vote. Malfoy created a new alliance with them/Pyrites to create a tie, but Yaxley didn't log on in time to see the message, so Malfoy ended up using his HII on Pyrites and booted Lestrange. This is all so messy for what should have been a simple vote on both Sides. I hope you know that them turning on Lestrange doesn't impact on how I feel about you. You've always been my best and most reliable working relationship. I sincerely hope we'll be able to reconnect in the merge and work together once more. In this spirit, there is one thing that I need to be honest with you about. I did indeed receive an Owl from Yaxley on Thursday and passed the HII info to you/Diggs. I didn't lie to you about being told by Peter that I wasn't the second person to complete the Task ...because I was the actually the first. I had already been given the instructions by another Death Eater on Wednesday, as had another Order member. I'll let you read between the lines there. I apologise for not being as upfront with you as I wish I could have been, but I didn't know how to do so without throwing the HII holder under the bus. Yours still, Lily

Date: Day 10, Monday 10 May To: Nymphadora Tonks From: Lily Potter Dear Tonks It's only been a day but it already feels so weird to have to rely on Owlpost to talk to you/Fleur. Oliver/I miss you both deeply and hope that you're doing OK at the Dept of Mysteries. It seems like the Order members are in a relatively strong position? I don't blame you guys for taking out Dung given he doesn't seem to be particularly useful. Anyways I hope that you guys manage to stick together so FLTWood Mag can hold its reunion tour at the Merge! I suspect there are only 3 more boots (excluding switches) until merge if they intend on having 9 jurors for a F2 Wizengamot hearing. That means we will only need to survive 1 or 2 more Councils each and we'll be safe! It's not super clear what the dynamics are here at the Daily Prophet. I don't know if Fleur told you but the last preswap vote was meant to be unanimous on Pyrites but Malfoy was told about another alliance so played an HII and took out Lestrange, leaving HK/Igor blindsided. I don't know if that means there's a crack that Oliver/I can exploit. I'm trying to use my connections with Crouch to vote out Igor and they seem open to this idea. But part of me worries that they'll be reluctant to throw away a 4-3 majority immediately and it would probably make more sense for them to take out an Order member first. I do hope that Crouch would protect Oliver and I (at least for the time being) which means Kingsley would probably be the unfortunate target. Anyways I hope that you guys stay safe. Should we have a code word to say in the Hogwarts Arena if we feel that we need help? Maybe drop the word "Phoenix" cos it's not too suspicious when we're talking about the Order, and it symbolises rebirth ![:<3](http://i.imgur.com/L3NpwEv.gif) (onto another Side). PS Oliver is disappointed that HK won't buy a round of Butterbeer and thinks you'd be way more fun to go out drinking with PPS Hedwig's Killer is a man of few words but he wanted me to pass on the message "Kill!" to you Yours Still, Lily
