hh_mirror | Owls!

~~Dr. Hodgins~~ Jack,

I can't apologize enough for the lateness of this owl. I'm afraid I have no excuse, save that Hogwarts appears to make one extremely scatterbrained and in the chaos of the last few weeks I seem to have let a few of my marbles slip.

At any rate, do you still have any interest in the experiment we discussed at your Sorting? The House Elves assure me that should we need a pig they can provide one or even several for our purposes.

Sincerely,
Constable Benton Fraser

Lily,

Your friend Dr. Cox asked me to look into a certain matter for him. Would you mind if I asked you a few questions? Nothing too dramatic, I promise.

Ben

Phil,

I hope I'm not intruding, but I couldn't help but notice that you appeared to be in somewhat of a state during Professor Evans' Defense Against the Dark Arts class the other day.

I realize that you and I are not particularly close, but I thought I would offer my services, in case you need... well, any help. I know this kind of thing can be difficult to get through alone. Believe me, you don't have to be. Very often, the first step to helping yourself is admitting that you need help.

Sincerely,
Constable Benton Fraser

Oh, dear. That poor owl. Fraser made sure to get him cleaned and patched up before deciding on his next course of action; after all, it certainly wasn't the owl's fault that the demon was evidently in an explosive mood.

Some time later, a House Elf delivered another package, then quickly fled before the demon could actually open it. The package itself contained a note and a brownie (http://community.livejournal.com/hogwarts_hocus/1363305.html). The note was unwarded and read:

Phil,

My sincerest apologies. When I sent my last letter, I hadn't considered that you might already be under the effects of withdrawal. Believe me, I've seen what kind of a mood that can put a man in, and I don't envy you in the least.

I've sent along a little something that I hope might somewhat ease your burden. While I admire your attempts to release yourself from the chains of addiction I understand that sometimes going "cold turkey," as they say, can be too much to bear. I hope this helps the transition.

Sincerely,
Constable Benton Fraser
