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!

Were there owl posts this morning? I'll quote the first post for you: 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.

Date: Day 3, Tuesday 3 May To: Rodolphus Lestrange From: Oliver Wood
Hullo Rodolphus
A hope this message finds you well, lad.
A write t' yet as A have made acquaintance wit yer partner, Fleur Delacouer Weasley, and notice that yer character was a collegue of ma partner in the Harry Po'er world. A wonder if yer've hit it off wit him as A have with Fleur. She a lovely lass, Rodolpus. Quite charming. And she speaks highly of yoo. Lucius was grand and a bi' of a problem solver in our brief time together. A good person t' have an yer corner, lad.
Anyway, A'll keep it short for no. Please pass on my well wishes t' Lucius and get t' know him if yer haven't already. Fleur has already written her owl post so she cannae write to Lucius but A think she might touch base wit him tomorrae.
If yer have any suggestions for who A can write t' tomorrae please let me knaw and A can encourage yer partner t' write t' Lucius.
Good luck in the challenge and at Magical Council t'night, lad. Hopefully we can get together fer a game of Quidditch soon.

Date: Day 4, Wednesday 4 May To: Igor Karkaroff From: Oliver Wood Hullo Igor Thank yer fer yer post and passing on ma well wishes from Lucius. Please le' him know that the PW might have amoun'ed t' nothing but the Matchical Thinking gave me food fer thought. Let him know that A think he's on the right path with his answers. Abertforth and I enjoyed a drink on the first night but he hasnae been since much since. Someone remarked that he'd slipped near the bo'om in their eyes but I dinnae seem him being vo'ed out first. A agree that he's a nice fellow bu' a li'le gruff at first. A suppose livin' in yer brother's shadow might doo that t' a man. I appreciate yer le'in' me knaw aboot Hedwig's Killer an' Tonks. A've go' along well with Tonks over here an' asked her aboot i' and she confirmed. A heard those who dinnae receive an owl posts receive a piece of parchment. Someone close t' me on this side received the words "89" and "backgroond". Please let me knaw yerself or through yer colleagues if yer ge'in' along wit Crouch, Lestrange, Hedwig's Killer and Yaxley. Good luck in t'night's Quidditch match. Yer gonna need it, lad ![:P](http://images.proboards.com/new/tongue.png) Stay safe. - Wood

Date: Day 5, Thursday 5 May To: Corban Yaxley From: Oliver Wood Hullo Corban Thank yer fer yer message the other day. Unfortunately A received multiple posts on the day yer sent me one. A responded to Karkaroff though A get the impression yer might be closer wit Lucius than he. Perhaps yer can clear that up fer us. Diggle wanted t' say that he's glad yer did well in the questionnaire. Wingdings is yelping from time t' time. Diggle think he misses yer. He's glad yer've foond a friend over there and he thinks yer should tell Malfoy that Diggle is a Richard and he can build some feathery wax wings fer him. Not much t' report here seein' as we have people in different time zones and we havenae faced a vote yet. A think Mundungus was the likely first vote bu' A sentiment has shifted a bit as he's trying to ge' aroond t' people. A think there's a wee group between the Purebloods and the Order consisting of yerself, Lucius, Crooch, Lily, Diggle and maself but A have also foond Fleur and Tonks on our side t' be enjoyable company on our side. I dinnae know where their partners fit into yer side but A'm keen to knaw. A couple of us have reached oot t' Lestrange but A dinnae knaw if he or Hedwig's Killer have sent anything t' Lily, Diggle, Tonks or Fleur. It means there might be two wee groups on either side that are loosely connected. Clues have been mentioned but nothing A've been able to make head nor tail of yet. Diggle said that it seems if yer send an owl post and dinnae receive one in return yer get a clue. Say hullo to Lucius fer us. A think he'll be hearin' from Lily today so touch base wit him and Crooch to compare notes. Hopefully Crooch has a clue to report. Good luck wit yer Deeth Me'al songwritin' lad ![:P](http://images.proboards.com/new/tongue.png) - Wood

Date: Day 8, Sunday 8 May To: Barty Crouch Jr From: Oliver Wood
Hullo Bar'y
Thank yer fer yer last post. Lily passed on yer regards and A believe we have more in common noo. A send this message todae t' ask that we maintain daily contact between yerself, Lucius, Lily and maself.
A want t' give yer a be'er picture of our side. Lily and A have been workin' with Tonks and Fleur on this side but each of Lily, Fleur and A suspect Tonks might be wit'holding some things. Tonks revealed she received a clue wit a bit.ly address and the word "do" but not'in' else. A understand that Moody is aware of the clue as well but as t' hoo, A dinnae knaw.
While Lily and A have a groop with Tonks and Fleur, we are lookin' at the two of us wit Diggle ootside on one side, Fleur ootside on another side knawing she is connected t' Diggle, and another groop wit' Tonks and Fleur. Lily and A have discussed another groop wit Diggle, which Diggle is eager to join.
Fleur hinted at me t' talk t' Moody in greater detail, which A'm workin' towards but havenae reach a point wit him yet t' discuss anyt'in' in depth, and Lily confirmed A should be followin' t'rough wit' this. Tonks appears t' be ge'in friendly with Kingsley. And then poor Mundungus appears to be on the very ootside.
A'd like t' hear yours and Lucius' thoughts aboot the dynamics on yer side and Lily and A will do out best t' help.
In addition to what A said aboot Tonks above, Karkaroff told me Hedwig's Killer won the Day 0 challenge while Hedwig's Killer himself told me he score 240 in the Quidditch challenge. A looked at the scores again and it turns oot Tonks scored 190. That's a challenge win and the 2nd and 3rd highest scores in another challenge. A think we should be takin' this pairing seriously.
Other than that, if yer can give us an update on Lestrange, that would be grand. Fleur is a lovely lass but Lestrange's name dinnae seems t' be comin' up as much as yerself, Lucius, Yaxley and Karkaroff among our allies.
Good luck fer the next week, lad.
- Wood

Date: Day 9, Monday 9 May To: Deladus Diggle From: Oliver Wood So... fancy ma surprise when A give thing a night t' settle and a log in t' find Lily and A have been punted to the other side! A saw yer missive t' me this morning so thank yer fer sharin' the link. A have nae time t' look into it this morning but A'll have a go tonight. Someone said it might have been claimed already though. Lily sent me a missive last night and A think the misunderstand coold have been may fault. A did the roonds last night and got t' yer missive before A got to Lily's. She did send me the link as well (so A've seen it from both of yer noo. I just dinnae knaw that at the time. Ask Lucius how A can put ma foot in things ![:P](http://images.proboards.com/new/tongue.png) ). Yaxley told me that Lucius played an idol (which raises more questions fer me...) to get Lestrange (Fleur's partner) oot instead. A'll leave it there fer noo as A have to get ready for ma muggle job but look after Fleur and Tonks will yer. A hope yer and Lucius ge' along as well. - Wood

Date: Day 10, Tuesday 10 May To: Fleur Delacouer From: Oliver Wood
Hullo Fleur
Lily and A hope yer keepin' well over there. It seems yer safe over there and we both cannae wait t' reunite wit' yer.
A sent Diggle a post yesterday as A'd heard from his partner, Yaxley, a couple of times.
The Deathea'ers all seem quite nice fer a bunch of evil feckers. A can see Hedwig's Killer is a character. A number of them told us ma partner, Lucius, caused a bi' of trouble on his way oot as he foond an idol and played it t' save Pyrites which elimina'ed Lestrange. Writin' this oot, it seems strange that A would send a post t' yoo of all people but A enjoyed our conversations and hope that yerself and Lucius can find common groond.
A'm hearin' votes over here are likely between maself and Kingsley so hopefully Lily can push on fer us. Yer timing buildin' wit' Moody was on point as yer have a solid four wit' Tonks, Diggle and Moody no. A havenae heard from Pyrites or Black so A hope they're good value fer yer.
Just before the swap, Lily and Diggle passed me a link that apparently came from yerself. A havenae had the chance t' look at yet but that may be what yers and Tonks' clues were fer.
Look after yerself and A hope t' see yer soon, lass.

Date: Day 11, Wednesday 11 May To: Nymphadora Tonks From: Oliver Wood
Hullo Tonks
I hope yer keepin' well. Lily and A are doin' well over here. We miss yer all terribly. A've go'en t' knaw Hedwig's Killer and while A dinnae approve of his lust for deeth, he's a good character. Certainly one of the more entertainin' players in the game. A hope yer and Lucius have foond each other and have some common groond.
The Deathea'ers seem very fractured over here. Lucius foond and played an idol which caught a few people off guard and saved Moody's partner, Pyrites, to eliminate Fleur's partner, Lestrange. That seems t' have cause some distrust among the remaining players here so nae anyone knaws if what the others are sayin' genuine or nae.
Hedwig's Killer was ge'in' along wit' Kingsley so he's nae impressed that Kingsley would switch with Pyrites, who Hedwig's Killer detests.
A've sent posts t' Diggle and Fleur since A've been over here so A hope the three of yer are still ge'in' along well. A was just star'in' t' build wit' Moody before the swap so barring anything comin' up A might say hullo t' him as well.
A have nae idea aboot Black. From the discussions over here A thought he might have been the next vote aheed of Pyrites. The Deather'ers did say Pyrites was relatively inactive though.
A cannae wait t' see yer all at merge. Look after yerself and take care, lass. We'll have a few bu'erbeers when we reunite.

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...

Kingsley I'm sorry this will cost you a clue but hopefully you don't have this one. ![](https://i.imgur.com/kyuSXe3.png) Good luck!
