What would happen if our heroes—and villains—had Facebooks? Well…. this!
Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter. If I did, I'd be filthy rich and residing in a billion dollar castle on a private, many-acre estate somewhere very hoity-toity. I also don't own Facebook, who's messaging system I am unabashedly using.
A/N: This is all told in the e-mail format pretty much the one that Facebook uses to alert you of things such as invitations to groups, friends requests, tag requests, messages, wall posts, etc. I hope you like it!
Please note that this will be confusing for a bit. It's supposed to be. It's supposed to be the E-MAIL inbox. Not the Message inbox. Since the alert system is basically the same one Facebook uses there are going to be similarities. But honestly, to get everything in there I'm changing some stuff up. Those familiar to the Facebook system will notice these differences.
For this to make sense, read the subject titles.

Harry Potter's Inbox

Hermione Granger sent you a message.
Subject: About the horcruxes…
Hey, Harry… When are we going to get on that hunt you had in mind?

Luna Lovegood sent a message to the members of Dumbledore's Army.
Subject: The next meeting…
Hello all! Isn't this an ingenious way to keep in touch? I'm rather fascinated with the whole concept of the "internet" and it's inner workings. I wonder if this net can be used to catch Crumple-Horned Snorkacks? It would make a lot of sense. After all, I've never tried using the internet to catch one of them, so who's to say it wouldn't work! Would anyone happen to have an idea as how to go about using this internet to capture my elusive creatures?

Luna… What has your obsession with imaginary creatures to do with the next DA meeting?
And the Internet is not a literal net that you catch things with. It is a vast computer network linking smaller computer networks worldwide. The Internet includes commercial, educational, governmental, and other networks, all of which use the same set of communications protocols. It's also described as a network that links computer networks all over the world by satellite and telephone, connecting users with service networks such as e-mail and the World Wide Web. It's what allows us to communicate like this.

Oh, yes, that's right. Well, I was thinking that we could meet tomorrow in the Room of Requirement.

Subject: About the horcruxes…
Yeah mate, I was wondering the same thing. I mean, you'll be locked up at the Dursley's for only a bit longer right? So when do you thing you'll be able to get away to the Burrow? We'll be able to get a lot more done once we're all together.

Um… Luna… It's summertime. We aren't at school right now.

Subject: The next meeting…
Oh, is that why I haven't seen anyone around? That explains some things then.

Dark Lord Voldemort added you as a friend on Facebook. We need you to confirm that you are, in fact, friends with Dark.
...
A/N: In regards to Voldemort's friend request. It says "We need you to confirm that you are, in fact, friends with Dark" because it only ever says the person's first name at that part. The way I have it, Moldyshorts put "Dark" as his first name, "Lord" as his middle name, and "Voldemort" as his last name. You know, to get the whole effect. I don't think he'd use Tom Marvolo Riddle, do you?
As for why I had him sending Harry a friends request… Why not? This is fanfiction. Welcome to it.
Also, the definition of the Internet came directly from Dictionary dot com. The third part of it came from the dictionary on Microsoft Word 2003.
QUESTION: Who's Inbox next?
