Merlin help me, I'm entirely too old to get flustered by a charming and thoughtful gift through the post but I swear thats just what happened this morning.

On an entirely professional note, I submitted my latest theorem to the magazine so its a case of crossing my fingers and hoping its of a high enough calibre to be printed. I don't want to lose my edge simply because I focus on Charms for eight hours a day. And its a week until the Halloween Feast in the Great Hall - my first as a fully fledged Professor ; I can hardly wait!

	What are the chances of your being able to nick a large quantity of the feast food? I'm still fairly certain that the food at Hogwarts is some of the best available. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I... could ask Severus if you'd like ? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I would like. Yeah, and what was that stuff all about this morning? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	What stuff? The um owl? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You know how I like to relax with a glass of wine and a book in the bath? Well.. Lorcan d'Eath sent me the bottle. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh, him? Huh. Has he said anything about your veins, yet? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	No. Obviously mine aren't sexy as yours. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yes, I've been told my veins send girls (and, apparently, some blokes) worldwide into spasms of ecstasy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hmmm really? I can't say its had that effect on me. On your report it would say 'must try harder'. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ouch. A blow to my inflated sense of self-confidence, that was. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_penny 2010-10-25 11:06 pm UTC (link)
	Excellent. A well aimed direct hit. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	It's true. Unfortunately, I've read the fanmail. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	A charming and thoughtful gift? Now, I'm intrigued. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Bottle of very lovely red wine sent to me personally by one Lorcan d'Eath? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	rhythmicfingers 2010-10-25 04:06 pm UTC (link)
	I think you need to tell him your a taken woman there, Pen Pen. Best you don't let him get the wrong ideas, yeah? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_penny 2010-10-25 05:40 pm UTC (link)
	I'm very happily taken, besides when did sending someone a bottle of wine become an instant all-access pass to their knickers? Not in my world. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	rhythmicfingers 2010-10-25 08:43 pm UTC (link)
	You mean it's not? You must live in a strange and odd world. You should invite me over to it sometime so I can get a look! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_penny 2010-10-25 08:47 pm UTC (link)
	You shouldn't be thinking about other peoples knickers - Elizabeth will know without you mentioning it. She's scary like that. And nope. No invitations! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	rhythmicfingers 2010-10-25 08:57 pm UTC (link)
	I'm not thinking about other peoples knickers! You said your world doesn't work like that, so that is what I'm talking about. So there. Mean. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Added several minutes later Should I send it back? Will Orsino be mad ; its not like that. I swear. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Don/Penny rhythmicfingers 2010-10-25 09:03 pm UTC (link)
	No. He shouldn't be mad about something like that. Plus it isn't like you are keeping it some sort of secret. ~~At least I hope he doesn't.~~ (Reply to this) (Parent)

	proprio 2010-10-26 02:05 am UTC (link)
	Whoa. Nice! (Reply to this) (Parent)
