wintery visits

[peterxy]

 So it goes.

Sadde doesn't come up with a good idea for a club for most Slytherins. Their intersecting interests seem to lie in the vicinity of "Pureblood club" and that's something Sadde will not support. They haven't managed to befriend all firsties, but their consistent association with the Ravenclaws coupled with helping people out pretty consistently has gotten most people to give them the benefit of the doubt. The trickster-ish streak does mean people are a bit confused about them, though.

Older Slytherins are still pretty resolutely against Sadde, but that's not too bad, and it's only been three and a half months.

(Also, Sadde has managed to not ask Miranda about her plans for a month and a half. Even if the curiosity is eating them inside.)

And Winter Holidays are next week.

"Instantaneously?"

[peterxy]

"Vell, if the target is far enough avay, they disappear from where they were cast and appear near the target."

[chanuphis]

"Wow!"

[mrwoods]

Sadde nods.

[peterxy]

The Professor dispels her Patronus.

[chanuphis]

"Thank you, Professor."

[peterxy]

"You are velcome."

[chanuphis]

And off they go. "That was neat," opines Miranda.

[mrwoods]

"Yeah. When we learn to do it I'm partially retiring Richard."

[chanuphis]

"I don't think they're really the same niche as owls."

[mrwoods]

"Sure, but at least to talk to people who have Patronuses - Patroni? - they're probably useful. Especially if they're tiny and not too obtrusive."

[chanuphis]

"Except it'll interrupt whatever they're doing and if they weren't listening there isn't a way to hear the message again without casting a separate spell..."

[mrwoods]

"Yeah, fair enough I guess. Maybe we could invent a wix internet, one that doesn't need dial up and is, like, super fast."

[chanuphis]

"Ooh!"

[mrwoods]

"We should probably invent magical computers first. I wonder why regular muggle tech breaks down around magic..."

[chanuphis]

"I think it's to do with electricity in particular. Other technology works fine."

[mrwoods]

"Hmm... That sounds like an interesting avenue of research. Maybe there's a fundamental particle for magic? A magical electron?" Pause. "Thaumion. That's totally gonna be its name."

[chanuphis]

"You're assuming there's only one."

[mrwoods]

"Thaumion, Phlogiston, Aetheron... Magicon?"

[chanuphis]

"Magicon? I'm taking away your naming things license!"

[mrwoods]

"It's Latin!"

[chanuphis]

"It is not!"

[mrwoods]

"It is too! Magicae, that's how you say magic in Latin!"

[chanuphis]

"Magicon isn't! And it sounds dumb in English."

[mrwoods]

"Ffffiiiine, how would you name one, then?"
