It was an altogether normal day at Hogwarts School of witchcraft and wizardry. Well, as normal as it can get at least. It was a mail day and owls were swopping through the great hall. Nobody had noticed it until it landed on the Ravenclaw table.

Now, what landed wasn't extremely unusual. In fact, by the time you graduated you've probably seen at least one. After all, with most of the school population being either half-bloods or purebloods it was the quickest way for magic parents to disciple their children.

What I'm referring to is, of course, a Howler. Burning up if you don't open them fast enough and screeching at the receiver, they're not what most kids hope to receive.

This one was different. It landed in front of a 5th year Ravenclaw girl with a long braid. Bailey Port was her name and it was quite odd that she had received one, being from a muggle family. The chaos and whispering was almost immediate. Everyone was quickly speculating on who would send her a howler.

Nobody was ready when it burned, being on a very fast timer, and screamed

"I LIKE YOUR SWEET BUTT!"

With that echoing through the halls all the speculation and gossip went quiet. After all, who would send a howler to say something like that?

They got their answer when a 5th year Slytherin girl started cackling. The Slytherin, whose name was Judy Thought, was known to be rather unorthodox when it came to… just about anything.

Then the questions started. "Do you like her?" "Why is she sending you messages about your butt?" "When did you guys meet?"

Turns out that they had gone to muggle school together, and had been friends for a while. Bailey was apparently one of the few that could put up with Judy aside from a Hufflepuff girl that had also went to school with them.

And the Hufflepuff, named Winnie, had convinced Judy to send her a howler after they had figured out how.

Now, why the message about her bum, you may ask? Well, Bailey, who was quite an athletic girl, had a firm bum. In fact it was a running joke that "no matter how straight Winnie was, she could definitely appreciate how nice a bum is".

This is what started a long tradition of sending complements to people that need one.
