Cheers!

This is the shortest chapter so far. I'm really sorry about it, but I couldn't think of anything else to add. I promise next chapter will be at least 350 words.

Hope you enjoy it!

Hum...english is my second language, so please point out the errors so I can correct them.

Next morning, when the owl came, she had been, for some reason, dyed black, her dark feathers glistening as they caught on the occasional beam of sunlight.

Dumbledore looked at the black owl approaching with growing dread. He had already tried to divert his mail, silence it, have it delivered at any other time, and he had even tried staying in his office for the duration of breakfast. Nothing had worked. His mail refused to cooperate, and he had gotten the strangest urge to have toast at the Hall that morning; he had felt compelled to go to the Great Hall and stay there.

“Hi Dumblefork!

You may have noticed the change in Hedwing. You see, Tom said that, if I persisted in sending letters to (and I quote) “that blind, stupid old goat”, I should at least make sure she didn’t look like “a freaking peace dove”. So there.

Hum...you may be wondering why I’m still writing to you. I mean, I went dark, changed sides, cut all ties and all that crap, right?

Well, I still have a lot to rant about, and since Tom said the Black Charm would render you unable to stop, redirect, silence or otherwise tamper with my letters you have no choice but to hear me out. Ain’t it great?

Besides, the dark side is
boring. It’s been ages since I last went on a raid, tortured some stupid sidekick or did anything for fun!

Poor little me.

Well, I still get to “haunt” you, don’t I?

Cheers!”


This time Dumbledore didn’t even bother with the panicking students, as he stared, eyes unseeing, as the black letter caught fire and burned his toast.
