DEAR STUDENTS AND FELLOW FACULTY,

I HAVE DISCOVERED THE GREATEST INVENTION OF MANKIND. IT'S ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS.
I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT I DID NOT DISCOVER IT SOONER.
IT LOOKS SOMETHING LIKE THIS:




MY SOURCES TELL ME MUGGLES CALL IT A "SLINKY."

[...Theo. You need to stop being adorable this second.]

YES, IT'S CALLED A SLINKY.
THEY COME IN ALL SORTS OF COLORS AND SIZES. THEY'RE ESPECIALLY FUN GOING DOWN STAIRS.

[mightyandtall]

I NEED TO ACQUIRE SOME AND UNLEASH THEM UPON THE STAIRS.
WHERE CAN I FIND THESE MAJESTIC CREATIONS?

[accioleggings]

TOY STORES! ESPECIALLY AROUND THE HOLIDAYS.
I THINK I WANTED TO TRY THAT, WAY BACK WHEN I WANT IN FIRST YEAR. NEVER GOT AROUND TO IT THOUGH.

[mightyandtall]

I WILL GO TO THE MOST GIANT TOY STORE THEN.
YOU SHOULD FIND A WAY TO REMEDY THAT, SALVADOR.

[allamericanreject]

Slinkies are like the best ever man. did you get one? aaah you should push it down some stairs and see if you can reach the bottom, professor!! its really fun!

[mightyandtall]

UNFORTUNATELY, I HAVE NOT GOTTEN ONE YET. I JUST READ ABOUT IT IN A MUGGLE MAGAZINE DATED JANUARY 1995.
I WANT THEM ALL.

[allamericanreject]

Get a whole bunch of metal ones sir. theyre the best for stair experiments. the rainbow ones arent flexible cuz their plastic.

maybe i can ask my mom to send me one so that you can see what ones like in real life. :)

[SHARE ALL THE MUGGLE THINGS!]

[mightyandtall]

_{[yes good he likes you, alfred.]}

IF YOU DO NOT MIND, THAT WOULD BE WONDERFUL.
YOU'D BE REWARDED GREATLY FOR YOUR VALIANT EFFORTS, YOUNG STUDENT.
IF ALL GOES WELL, I WILL SEE ABOUT ORDERING AN ENTIRE SHIPMENT. THIS ARTICLE SAYS ONE CAN'T HAVE ENOUGH OF THEM.
SO WOULD 1000 BE ADEQUATE? I MUST WONDER.

[thesmallesttrickster]

What does is do?

[mightyandtall]

IT TUMBLES.

[thesmallesttrickster]

Tumbles?

[mightyandtall]

IT FLIPS AND FLOPS AND MOVES DOWN STAIRS.

[notapigeon]

No way! I've always wanted one!

[mightyandtall]

I WILL DISTRIBUTE THEM AMONG THE STUDENTS SHOULD I ACQUIRE ENOUGH.

[notapigeon]

You need every color. And size!

[mightyandtall]

I CERTAINLY WILL.
HOW BIG DO THEY GET?
BIG ENOUGH TO RIDE ONE? DO THEY WORK LIKE THAT?

[catblog]

Yes you are correct, that is a slinky!

Although I didn't know it would create such joy with others!

[Voice]

[mightyandtall]

Are you very familiar with them? I find that they're fascinating inventions! Of course, all the peculiar things Muggles make are!

[Voice]

[catblog]

Yes, I am! I use to play with them as kid before throwing them away when they got tangled!

[He should meet the furby one day]

[Voice]

[mightyandtall]

_{[He really does. It's be the best worst thing ever.]}

Do you happen to have any left? You could've just used magic to fix them!

[mysterytwin]

Uh, slinkies are a thing that exist but I wouldn't call them the greatest invention Muggles have come up with.

[mightyandtall]

WHAT WOULD YOU SAY IS THE GREATEST?

[mysterytwin]

Well the steam engine for one. If it wasn't for steam engines we'd probably be getting to school in an entirely different way, not to mention we wouldn't have modern day trains or even planes.

[hipsdontlie]

[Whaaaat. Okay, that's kind of adorable in a really weird kind of way.]

You've never seen a slinky before? They are quite an amusing little thing, but they've been around since I was tiny, darling.

[mightyandtall]

SLINKIES AREN'T VERY COMMON ITEMS. I'M UNSURE HOW I DID NOT DISCOVER THEM SOONER, BUT I WAS NOT EXPOSED TO MUGGLE THINGS AS A CHILD. IT'S UNFORTUNATE.
