[ If you're feeling fancy and bored tonight (today, this morning..), here's a magic puzzle for you. It looks something like:


The parts can be re-arranged into two dozen different runes, which can then be translated into spells. The simpler ones, of which there are fifteen, simply make everything disappear when 'solved'. The remaining, more difficult nine are:
✧ Shimmery, translucent flowers appear around your head and shoulders, for about five minutes.
✧ BANG. Jumpscare.
✧ An enchanted doodle plays Hangman with you, the winning word changing periodically.
✧ Displays a recipe for zucchini bread. The best zucchini bread you've ever fucking had.
✧ Suggestions for what to try at the curry house in Hogsmeade.
✧ Creates a very cold feeling for about five minutes.
✧ Causes the message What else could you have been doing with your free time? to appear.
✧ Displays directions for a spell to turn nicotine cigarettes into clove cigarettes.
✧ Nothing. Unless you have a Dark Mark, in which case, a small black snake slithers into existence from the base of your wrist, wriggling to the inside of your elbow before vanishing.
Once each rune has been 'solved', the drawing vanishes, making doing more than one very difficult; the witch or wizard (or wizich) will have had to have made a copy or cast a charm to preserve it prior to fussing through everything.

( OP's username, x, is not anonymous, though Severus's general disinclination to socialize might leave even 'friends' in the dark. up2u, my sweet beans. ) ]

[ well, she was certainly bored and now she has worthwhile entertainment. ]

I look forward to more of these if you are ever in the spirit to share again.

It's certainly attracting an interesting crowd.

( she is 100% talking about bellatrix. )

You just may get more than you bargained for.

I wouldn't dare claim to have such a [...] talent.

[ although, she most likely could if they were discussing her reputation. alas, they are not. ]

No, I am referring to individuals who are far more eloquent than I am.

I fear if I ever profess to have even a speck of the latter, I will give my family further incentive to look at me like I'm some sort of plight.

Why can't it be both though? Or, perhaps, neither. Perhaps, I am merely speculating. You could very well have the good fortune of exchanging pleasantries with all the right people.


[ dependent on what one would categorize as the "right people" anyway. ]

[ she is the bane of pure-blood society. let's leave it at that. ]

It is the least I can do since you have given me such a lovely pastime.

I am planning to try it tonight. What do you recommend would go best with it?

[ petia would love to disengage herself from their drama too, but her surname sadly forbids it. ]

Excellent. I hope I will do your recipe justice.

It is a pity I cannot have you sample it, but I suppose it would be too forward of me. If it turns out well, I must remember to make it for my mama the next I see her.

[ oh, you poor unfortunate soul. ]

Are you a native there?

A professor! How long have you been teaching there?

[ she highly doubts he or she is one of her former professors, but it remains probable. ]

( honestly, petia, contain your latent homosexual feelings. )

[ please, bellatrix, there is nothing latent about her homosexual feelings. she is simply biding her time to make you confront yours. ]

( it's honestly not the same-sex thing, it's the "you are filled with the wrong kind of blood" thing, thank you very much. )

( she can be an out and proud bisexual woman by staying inside and having one small aspect of her life not up for discussion at family dinners. )
