Chatterbox: Inkwell
St.Owl sat in
St.Owl sat in a compartment by herself, reading a copy of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, trying to ignore the butterfiles flapping around in her stomach. Yet again, she pulled out the letter with the crumpled Hogwarts seal and read the acceptance letter fondly. A real, true, for-sure invitation to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry!
She clutched it close to her chest and sighed, like some girls do with love letters. She pinched herself yet again, just to make absolutely positive she wasn't dreaming.
It hurt.
She wasn't dreaming.

This is creative! I didn't expect any of this alter ego stuff to happen.
(September 24, 2015 - 6:59 pm)
Yay! Thanks!
0ink: FINALLYUINCLUDEDME!
She means that she is happy that you included her.
(September 25, 2015 - 5:47 pm)
Hi! Cool! Hi!
(September 24, 2015 - 7:44 pm)
I'm sorry to badger you St. Owl, but you haven't mentioned me once!
(September 26, 2015 - 12:31 am)
....Everything I want to say to you sounds repeated or old or silly and this just sounds too serious. So, I'm sorry. I'll try to put you in. Right now, though...

"Guys!"
The Dissalussament charm had worn off halfway through the flight, but St.Owl had made it back. She slid down into a seat and said, "Somebody was absolutely right. I'm not exactly sure what's going on, but it isn't good."
"What happened?!" demanded her friends.
"Devil Owl was joined by a talking bat, and they're both Animagi. They landed in front of some sort of headquarters. There were a lot of crazy creatures there. The Bat-Person went off to talk to somebody. They discussed her pretending to be a harpy from the Tempest and mentioned Rose Bud- isn't she a Hufflepuff?- and about how the world will end if they get all the Cbers together. Then I saw Hermione, but she wasn't acting like Hermione, and they called me a CBer. I think they wanted to destroy me. I only just got away."
"Weeeeird," said Dragonrider. "And insane, just like.... Spyro? I think that's what he called himself."
"Did Spyro happen to be a large silver dragon?"
"Why, yes. Yes, he was."
"Did he enjoy donuts?"
"Yes."
"Spyro was there," St.Owl concluded. "Now, we have to interview a few people. Where should we meet?"
A Hufflepuff- Kate, St.Owl thought her name was- leaned back from the next table.
"Sorry, I couldn't help but overhear," she said. "I may know just the place."
(September 26, 2015 - 11:09 am)
Wow, I love it St. Owl! Keep going!

"Meet me next to the tapestry of Barnabas the Barmy on the seventh floor after dinner," St.Owl hissed to Somebody. She, Kate, and all of her friends (Booksy, Hermione, Indigo, Brookiera, Danie, and Dragonrider) decided to spread the word to everyone who had a connection with these strange happenings, and hold a meeting about them.
****
"Whoa... there are a lot of people here."
St.Owl glanced around. It ranged from first years to fourth years, and they were all staring at her.
"Um... well, this is the Room of Requirement. Kate the Great"-Kate chuckled, she liked that- "told me where to go. Now, just wait a minute, and we'll be able to hold the meeting."
St.Owl shook her wings and started pacing in front of the blank stretch of wall. I need a place where we can discuss this.... I need a place where we can discuss the strange creatures... I need a place where we can discuss the strange sightings....
In her third passing, a door appeared. St.Owl opened it and ushered everyone in.
It was a nice place. About twenty armchairs were laid out in a circle, and a fire crackled in the corner. A small window showed snow whirling around outside.
I'm glad I didn't have to fly in that, St.Owl thought, settling herself down into the chair right in front of the fire.
"...Why don't we take roll before we start?" St.Owl suggested. The group nodded. "Okay- I'm St.Owl."
"Somebody."
"Dragonrider."
"Indigo."
"...Rainbow."
"Booksy."
"Wren."
"Rose Bud."
"Danie."
"Joan."
"Sydney."
"Lindsey."
"Hermione."
"Jonh."
"Kate."
"Brookiera."
"Perfect. Let's get started."

Phantom and Shadowdancer, I know you weren't mentioned, but just wait.... you'll show up...
(September 27, 2015 - 2:47 pm)
I think you said Kate's in Gryffindor...
(September 27, 2015 - 7:47 pm)
Okay......

Hello! My name isn't really Juliet, but I'm not allowed to use my real name. You probably have no idea who I am, and i don't have much of an idea of who you are, but I saw your name in the latest Cricket magazine. I know it's pretty late for this, but I only just now saw your Harry Potter story thing, and I looooooooooooove love love(!) Harry Potter!!!! I understand if you can't incorporate me into the story, but if you can give me at least a small part, it would be greatly appreciated. Maybe I could come into the story later than other people or something. Another thing you should know is that I will most likely not have time every day to come onto the Chatterbox, but I will try to remember.
I don't know whether or not I'm supposed to have a nickname. I can come up with one if you want me to. Also, I'm going to be 12 in two months so... I'm not sure whether I would qualify as a first or second year.
That's all for now!
(September 27, 2015 - 10:28 pm)
I love the way you portrayed Wildflower St! Great writing!
(September 28, 2015 - 10:53 am)
You'd be a second year, Juliet, and I'm afraid you can't be in this story, it's far too late. However, my impatient mind has already started mapping out a plot line for another year, and you can be in that one.
And, ..., maybe I did put Kate in Gryffindor. Honest mistake. Sorry if I did.
(September 28, 2015 - 3:27 pm)
Thank you, St. Owl. That's fine.
(September 28, 2015 - 9:55 pm)
By the way, I know this is off topic, but what does "age recarnated" mean?
(September 28, 2015 - 10:25 pm)
I put "Recarnated" instead of "Reincarnated" because "Reincarnated" has too many characters.

"So. There has been a string of incidents that Somebody thinks are related," St.Owl said. For some reason she seemed to be the leader. She supposed that was OK. "My owl has been sending phony messages."
She waited.
Finally, Rainbow caught on. "A strange ice-lady threw Mandrakes all over Greenhouse Two."
"...Someone tipped over Hermione's cauldron and set the Potions room on fire," Somebody added, sounding slightly embarrassed.
"Two people started throwing pies during History of Magic. But they were easy to get rid of," said Brookiera, not looking up from her book- The Hobbit, St.Owl noticed.
"A mouse started talking during Transfiguration. I turned him into a purple unicorn, though," Danie said, patting the unicorn tethered to her chair.
"And some dragon-creature started a food fight in the Great Hall!" Dragonrider said with gusto.
"So I followed my owl," St.Owl said, and she explained what had happened inside headquarters. When she was done, she said, "what do you think should be done?"
"They have to be stopped!" Cried Jhon.
"We need to gather more information before we can figure out how, though," Wren pointed out.
"St.Owl should fly to the place again," Lindsey suggested.
St.Owl shook her head. "Too risky. Some of them are idiots, but some of them are pretty smart. They'll be expecting me. We need to think of someone else."
There was a pause.
"Hey, Wren, are you an Animagus?" asked Hermione bluntly.
"No," Wren replied.
"Danie could ride her purple unicorn?" suggested Sydney.
"He can't fly," Danie said, stroking her winged unicorn.
"Oh. I know what to do."
Everyone turned to look at Somebody.
"Dragonrider...."
