[Aidan O'Banion]

First off, you're not dead right? I practically lost a finger to Frank here, so I hope you aren't.

Quick question...Hypothetically of course because you know I would never do such a thing because I'm as graceful as a gazelle. If water were to get on a computer and you know it made a weird beeping noise there would be a way to fix it, right? I mean...Not that this happened of course. Gazelle.

Again hope you aren't dead,

-Aidan

P.S. Keep the bird if you like. He's an ass.

[Louis Weasley]

TURN IT OFF

Like, right off and take the battery out. Then turn it upside down and wait for it to dry. How much water did you get on it? And where did you spill it?

I'm not dead. But if you mix electric stuff with water, you might end up that way. And I'm not even joking.

Louis

PS - Thanks, think I will.

[Aidan O'Banion]

Alright, alright. No need to yell.

The battery out? Oh, I think I found it! Pretty sure. Well, it was a team effort. I had a glass of water and well Craig left his shoes on the floor at my uncles...And his big feet made me trip and maybe most of the glass got on it...Okay, the whole glass of water. It got on the thing with the letters. Keyboard, right? Do I dry it with towel? Will it survive?

Glad to hear it. Normally this is where I say I died of boredom, but I think I just got some excitement back...And if the electricity doesn't kill me, Michael will. The one that would help you with your laptop..

Oh did I mention I flattened that PJ kid from our year and gave him more reasons to hate me? So I think that adds up to three things out to kill me...

-Aidan

PS. Liar. He came back. I think someone transfigured him from a goose. That's why it hates me.

[Louis Weasley]

Yeah, dry it out with a towel if you can, once you've switched all the power off on it. Wait, this is a laptop, right? On a laptop, the computer bit is right under the keyboard, so it might not survive if you spilt a whole glass on it. You probably need to take it apart to dry it properly, but I wouldn't try and do that unless you know what you're doing. I haven't taken mine apart yet, but I broke three mobile phones taking them apart before I worked out how. Can't Michael help you? Either that, or take it to a computer shop. That's what I do whenever I want to know something new - the guys there are really helpful.

Wait, you flattened him? What's that supposed to mean? You beat him up? And I made someone hate me too, so looks like we're equal. What else is out to kill you? Other than the PJ guy and the computer...

Louis

PS - Well, he seems to be here right now, so...

[Aidan O'Banion]

Oh...Well then I'm going to put that piece back where I found it. Yeah, it was his laptop. I have to take the thing apart? No I can't ask Michael! That is like committing suicide. I still haven't won my grammy yet, I can't afford to commit suicide. Stick with the program. A computer shop? So this isn't something I can fix before he wakes up is it?

As much as I would like to claim I beat him up because that makes me sound tough, nope. More like I was using a portkey to meet up with Ness...And fell on top of him and literally flattened him like a pancake. Also I don't think I helped the situation any after that, but...

Uh oh. What happened? What's going on?

Geese.

-Aidan

PS. I'll send you a blue ribbon to tie around his neck to make him look like a gift.

[Louis Weasley]

What piece? What did you do? NO, don't take it apart, you'll break it even more. Take it to a computer shop. If it doesn't work when it's dry. I mean, it's not as bad as spilling juice or something - so long as it didn't get into the electric bits, water dries. So wait until it's completely dry - I mean completely - then try turning it back on. I don't know, I mean, I'm no expert. But it might work.

Why didn't you floo like a normal person? Also, 'literally' means that you actually made him look like a pancake. I don't believe you actually changed his shape. Did he beat you up? What did you do?

Nothing's going on. Devyn's fallen out with me, that's all.

Some day, I'm going to get a goose and put it in your bed.

Louis

PS - You should do. Except you should have tied the ribbon on first, you're not supposed to make people wrap their own gifts.

[Aidan O'Banion]

Oh nothing at all. I didn't do a thing. I put it back, it's fine! I would not break it Okay fine you have a point. I won't touch it, it's drying. And don't add that on at the end, you are my only chance for survival at the moment. At least pretend like you know everything.

That's a good question I probably should have that I have an answer to. I don't have a fireplace? Okay fine, I didn't really think of that one. And I did make him look like a pancake. Don't doubt me. No! Of course he didn't, that's like saying cats are my favorite animal. Outrageous. I did nothing. I mean, there is just a small chance I came across as a smartass and politely told him to go fuck himself, but at least it was polite?

Fallen out? What happened, man? You need beer?

I swear if you do that I will punch you. And sleep in your bed. Do you really want me in your bed? No, I don't think so.

-Aidan

PS. Okay that right there is too much to ask. I have battle wounds from that bird from feeding it a simple treat and you expect me to wrap it for you? I am not Santa's elf. I gave you the bird, didn't I?

[Louis Weasley]

Yeah, leave it to dry. You never know, you might get lucky and it might not have got into the important bits...

I do know everything. Especially about Potions. I was specially proud of that exam result, I think it might be a record...

I don't believe you. And what's the guy ever done to you? You're such a cock. (Just realised that tone of voice doesn't come over too well in a letter, so you should know I'm joking. About you being a cock, not not believing you.)

Lots of beer. On top of the firewhisky I drank earlier. Maybe that's a bad plan...

I'd love to see your face if I answered yes to that question... Actually, it'd just feed your ego, wouldn't it? So the answer is no, good way to give anyone nightmares.

Louis

PS - I'm confused. Is this even your owl to give away?

[Aidan O'Banion]

Maybe the luck of the Irish will pull through. If not...Well, I'm going to floo out of here in the morning.

Sure you do. Wait, you didn't get your T? Or you did? Because I am not ashamed that I got a P in History in Magic. I am actually so proud of that score.

What has he done? I am not a cock! I'm a angel. Well he's rude to me of course! I mean just one misfired prank first year and you think the world had exploded. Plus he loses his temper too easily...

I can provide if you like? Gives me an excuse to get out again? And it's never a bad plan, what are you talking about?

Remind me never to suggest that again Ass. But your right, it would. I would just be a lovely addition to anyones bed...I should probably just stop now.

-Aidan

PS. Unfortunately it is. I got it when I was eleven and stupid. I didn't realize then pure evil could take a form in an owl...I mean I knew it could in a goose. But was I wrong. The only animals I can trust are dogs.

[Louis Weasley]

You could always buy him a new one.

I DID NOT GET A T. I got a D. Achievement.

Well don't misfire pranks then. Amateur, mate, amateur. And don't talk to me about losing tempers too easily - my family are Weasleys...

I got drunk with Chris the other night too. I feel like I'm on the slippery slope. But hell, it's only the holidays once. Well, it's not, but it's only these holidays once.

Go and try Chris's then. And don't forget the silencing charms.

Louis

PS - As opposed to being sixteen and stupid, like you are now? Though to be honest, he hasn't really done anything to me - I think he likes me.

PPS - I might get a tattoo. What d'you reckon?

[Aidan O'Banion]

I could...You know...When I have money. But probably what will end up happening.

A D? Holy, that is an achievement worth a celebration. I had a tears of pride in my eyes when I read that.

It wasn't my fault! It all goes back to being eleven and stupid! And you know, having a sister who gets distracted to easily when you tried to pull a prank on her. Honestly. People these days. Also, good point...

A slippery slope? Exactly. Though, you want to talk about it mate? Or just drink weight in beer? Either is fine with me.

Stop causing my heart pain. I am not a nightmare. And honestly...I stared at the way you worded that...And I'm probably just going to stick with my own bed. Put some anti-geese charms around it. You know...Once I find some.

-Aidan

PS. Exactly. And no, I'm sixteen and smart. About to be seventeen and brilliant....He hasn't tried to peck your eyes out? What the hell, Frank? I did nothing to that fucking bird!

PPS. A tattoo? Of what?

[Louis Weasley]

Face it. They're going to give you no money until you've paid for it.

I thought so. My mum was less impressed.

Amateur.

Actually, I think we kind of made up now. Or we're sort of in the process of making up. She doesn't fancy me, but hey, friends is better than nothing. It's still a bit awkward. I'd rather not talk about it to be honest. Beer still sounds good.

I worded it exactly the way I meant it.

Vic and me are working on anti-Dom spells. They might work on geese too. I mean, there are similarities...

Louis

PS - Keep telling yourself that. And what can I say? Birds love me.

PPS - I don't know, I haven't got that far yet...

[Aidan O'Banion]

Guess I'll have to figure out a way to earn money...I mean, I can always throw a few concerts. "Please donate to the Don't Let Aidan Die fund." It'll work like a charm.

Well, I'm impressed. That's all that matters.

Am not. I am an expert.

Really? You two have made up again? Well, that's better than the alternative? And alright, I'll let it drop. Beer I will bring

In which case I don't approve young jackass.

Vic? Isn't that your oldest sister? The pretty blonde one? She is assisting you with anti-Dom charms. Why? Sock thief strikes again? And I rather not associate your sister with a goose. I rather not associate anyone with geese, personally.

-Aidan

PS. I will because it's true. I only speak da twuth. I'm sending you a ribbon for Frank in this owl. All yours...Though I didn't exactly warn my brother...Ah well.

PPS. You don't know what tattoo you want? You just want one? Okay. I have an idea. You should get like a pink bunny on your shoulder or something. Truly terrifying.

[Louis Weasley]

I'll donate the two knuts I found down the side of the sofa today.

Good, so you should be. And my other results were pretty okay though, so my parents aren't too unhappy. Were you happy with yours?

An expert in bad pranks.

Yeah, seems like it. For now anyway. I mean, we always fought, so it probably won't last, but we're good for now. But where is this beer?

No, you must be thinking of some other Vic, because my friends don't have the right to call my sisters pretty. Actually, I can't remember why we were thinking of anti-Dom spells. Probably the sock thing, though she doesn't steal Victoire's. Which makes no sense, since they'd probably fit a lot better.

No, seriously, Dom has a lot in common with a goose.

Louis

PS - Sweet. Pat seems to like him too.

PPS - I'll get a pink bunny rabbit if you get fluffy clouds and a rainbow.

[Aidan O'Banion]

Thank you so much for your donation. I'm now two knuts and a piece of lent from my couch closer to my goal.

Oh I am. Mine were't two horrible, actually. The P is History of Magic was the worst I received. Two O's the rest E's. I honestly think my dad was in shock when he saw that.

Ouch. You are causing me pain by doubting my skills. I now feel the need to prove myself. And it could last mate. Sure, you've always fought, but you've made up haven't you? In my kitchen. I can bring it over anytime you like.

So I take that as a yes, the pretty blonde one. Hey, I'm only speaking the truth. I love how you plot against your sister with no real reason. You are making the tears of pride return. Also, I don't understand your sister so don't ask me.

Does she walk around honking?

-Aidan

PS. My brother is now upset with me.

PPS. Fluffy clouds and a rainbow? Sorry but that's two items. Besides if I get a rainbow, it's going to be a double rainbow. So if I get those two, I expect a unicorn to join the bunny on the opposite shoulder.
