Love, Life & Owl Post

~*Chapter Two*~

To: Ol (Oliver Wood) "No. 37/20 Portman St. Lison"

From: Josh (Joshua Roberts) "No. 12 Sullivan St. Lison"

Subject: Blonde And American Now??

Hey Ol,

What on earth were you thinking? I mean, your hair is blonde now? And, why do you now have an American accent? What was wrong with your old look? I'm not saying your look is bad or anything, I just don't get why you had to change it. Are you trying to impress someone? Is there something I should know? Jess thinks you look better, so she says, after we came around to your apartment yesterday.

Anyway, you never did tell us, why you left P.U. and where you went after that. By the way, if you want a job, P.U.'s keeper position is vacant for next season. You should try for it, again, and it can be like the good old days.

Well, training is in a few minutes, so I better get going,

Josh

Subject: Nice Look! I Approve! : ) Also, Are You Single?

Hi Ol!

Are you single? I forgot to ask you that yesterday. I can't believe I forgot that. Anyway, I like your new look. It's good and well, you have my approval.

Now, I'm off track. If you aren't with some girl, I can hook you up with someone. I know a lot of people, you know.

So, are you coming over on Saturday night? I'm cooking, so come on over.

Your friend, always, and best friend's girlfriend,

Jess

Subject: Work Matters

Dear Jessica,

If you have not realized yet, you are at work. Therefore, please stop sending owls to people, who are in no way, associated with your reports. I expect your report about the Chudley Cannons vs. the Starlet Shooters semi-final game, on my desk before 5 PM, today.

Your sincerely,

Charles Taylor

Hey Ol,

Josh told me that you just came back. Where did you go? Did you just rise from the dead? Well, if you'd like to know, I'm playing for C.C. as one of the beaters. We've got a new manager; his name is Ron, pretty nice guy.

How come you didn't write to me for all those years? Everyone was worried sick, and I mean everyone.

Write back, man, and I'd like to see you sometime. Maybe verse you in a game of quidditch, hey.

Subject: Lunch Hours

Dear Hermione,

I am writing to tell you about our lunch hours at the 'Daily Prophet Headquarters'. The policy clearly states, that the lunch hour is between 12 PM to 1 PM.

I was very disappointed to hear, that one of our finest reporters had broken one of the rules. My impression of you has slightly changed, due to your attitude, as shown yesterday. I hope that you do not take another three-hour lunch break ever again.

Your sincerely,

Charles Taylor

From: Ry (Ryan Woods) "Home"

Subject: Like my new name?

Hey Josh, Dan and Jess,

It's me, Ol, except under a different name/identity, whatever.

Well, since everyone thinks 'Oliver Wood' is dead, I thought I'd better come up with a new identity. I can't stay hidden forever, neither can I just suddenly turn up. Do all of you understand?

Ok, from now on, you guys know me as Ryan Woods. (Thought I'd add another letter to my original surname.) I'm not planning to tell anyone anything about my past, so don't even bother asking.

If you want to reply or send any other owls, I'll be home, for awhile, anyway,

Ry

From: Herm (Hermione Granger) "Office 70, Daily Prophet HQ"

Subject: Charles

Hey Jess,

You know how you always tell me, that you get those complaint owls from Charles? Well, I finally got one.

Charles wrote to me about our lunch hours, 'cause yesterday I left the office for about three hours to check out a new apartment. Oops : ) He is apparently 'disappointed in me'. Oh well.

So, how's the report going on the quidditch semi-final game? I have to write about some new restaurant opening up in Hogsmede. How boring is that? How come I always get the crap assignments? Though, I don't have anything against restaurant reviewers, mind you. I'd just prefer more exciting stuff, if you know what I mean.

Better leave you alone now,

Herm

To: Charlie (Charles Taylor) "Office 62, Daily Prophet HQ"

From: Jess (Jessica Knight) "Office 59, Daily Prophet HQ"

Subject: Hey Charlie

Dear Charlie,

Thank you soo much for kindly reminding me to get back to work. Unfortunately, even though you are my boss, you can't ban me from writing letters to my friends. How did you know I was writing to my friends anyway, and not to the manager of the two quidditch teams?

Oh god, don't tell me that it was you. You weren't the one hovering outside my office window were you? The one I threw my apple core at, in hope that they would go away? If it was you, I hope you learnt your lesson,

Jess a.k.a., the other Senior Chief Journalist

To: Herm (Hermione Granger) "Daily Prophet Headquarters"

From: Gin (Ginny Weasley) "Gin's Gift Shop"

Subject: Hot!

Hi Herm,

Did you see the guy next door, last night, when we were moving in our stuff? Oh. My. God. He is absolutely gorgeous. I nearly fainted when he took off his shirt. Of course, he didn't realize that I was looking at him in his apartment, from our balcony.

We have got to go introduce ourselves tonight. Maybe you two can go out, that is if he isn't already someone's man. I mean, who wouldn't want to have his arms wrapped snuggle around them? I certainly wouldn't mind.

Love,

Gin

From: Ry (Ryan Woods) "Home"

Subject: Drop Dead Gorgeous

You two would not believe it. The hottest girl in the world lives right next door to me! After you (Josh) and Jess left my apartment, I went outside for some fresh air, when I just happened to look into the apartment next door.

There was this girl with brown, dead straight hair and one hell of a sexy body, I'll say. I think she lives with the red head girl, I was telling you about, Josh. They were moving their stuff in.

So, I was wondering if, maybe you could give me some advice. Should I just go over and introduce myself, or should I just 'accidentally' bump into her? I'd like your answer a.s.a.p.

Thanks,

Ry

From: Herm (Hermione Granger) "Daily Prophet Headquarters"

Subject: You Have A Boyfriend

GINNY WEASLEY!

I can't believe you're calling the guy next door 'hot and gorgeous', and that you spied on him without his top on.

You do realize you have a boyfriend, don't you? I believe his name is Harry Potter. Also did you know this guy, known as Harry Potter, can get very jealous?

Ginny Weasley, get your head out of the clouds,

Herm

P.S. No, I did not see the guy next door, thank you very much. I don't really give a damn what he looks like.

Subject: You've Been Single Too Long

Hey Herm,

Don't worry about Charlie. He's just an old fart, at times, because Danielle won't go out with him. Actually, he's never even asked her out before, but he does have a major crush on her.

I've finished the report on the quidditch semi-final game, so Charlie won't get all tight about it. Anyway, enough about Charlie, let's talk about you.

What's going on with you at the moment? Are you still single, girlfriend? I swear, I am going to have to make you go out on a blind date with someone, which I'll set up for you, with some help from Gin.

Speak of the devil, Charlie's at my door, better run,

Jess

P.S. What's the address of your new apartment?

To: Gin (Ginny Weasley) "Gin's Gift Shop"

From: HP (Harry Potter) "Unknown Location"

Subject: What's This I Hear About Your New Neighbour?

Dear Gin,

What's this I hear about your new neighbour? Apparently, you think he's absolutely gorgeous. Are you telling me, that I'm not good looking enough for you? Thanks a lot.

I think I'll cancel our reservation at the Italian restaurant, which I was going to take you to, tonight.

HP

To: Ron (Ronald Weasley) "Chudley Cannons Headquarters"

From: HP (Harry Potter) "Unknown Location"

Subject: I'm Jealous

Ron,

You would not believe it. (I know I say that a lot, but seriously, I mean it this time.) Gin thinks some next door neighbour of her's is absolutely gorgeous.

I was going to take Gin out tonight, to this fancy restaurant and propose to her. Now, I'm not sure how she really feels about me. Do you think Gin actually even likes me, let alone love me?

HP

P.S. Am I acting to feminine-like about this?

To: HP (Harry Potter) "Unknown Location"

From: Ron (Ronald Weasley) "Chudley Cannons Headquarters"

Subject: When's The Wedding?

HP, you were planning to propose to Gin tonight!? Wow, I didn't think I'd see the day.

Don't worry about Gin. I've lived with her for so many years, so trust me on this. She thinks every guy in this world is 'hot' or 'gorgeous'. I think those two words are the only words in her vocabulary, when describing anyone of the male gender. You shouldn't be so worried, man.

Gin is head over heels in love with you. So, get your ass over there and propose to her. She'll say yes, I know she will. By tomorrow, I expect to hear a letter with all the details.

Ron

P.S. Bec wants to know when you are coming over for dinner, so send her an owl.

From: Herm (Hermione Granger) "Office 70, Daily Prophet HQ"

Subject: Quick Note

Hey Jess,

I'm sorry, but I have to make this quick. I'm meant to be having dinner with my family (immediate and extended family, that is) and I'm running late, 'cause Charles had to discuss some things about my article on the restaurant. My parents are going to kill me, I just know it.

Here's my address: No 35/20 Portman Street, Lison.

Dear Jessica,

As I am your boss, I hope that you will respect me, as I do the same to you. My name is not Charlie, but Charles.

Thank you,

Your sincerely,

Ry,

Josh just sent me an owl, telling you like this girl, who happens to be your next door neighbour. Does she live at No. 35 or 39?

Subject: Reply

Hey Ry,

I think you should go over and introduce yourself. Your life is not one of those romantic comedies. Okay?

Also, for once in your life, I think you should stop using women as toys. Don't be a womanizer, man. I don't think Josh, Jess or I could stand seeing another girl with her heart broken, 'cause of you.
