Endor gave the Professor a narrow-eyed look of indignation. It was part 'don’t blame me, I’d rather not be flying about to and fro in this nasty weather’ and part 'well, you KNOW what she’s like, she wouldn’t be told.’

Being offered a perch next to the warm fireplace went some way towards soothing the feelings of the irritable owl. The butterscotch mouse certainly helped save the Professor from a pecking as well.

It was Hans who bore the brunt of Endor’s frustration when he flew the return response to the Apothecary. Endor wasn’t entirely sure he liked this interloper who spoke with such an odd accent. And he certainly didn’t like all the attention that the man got from Jil, attention that used to be showered on her feathered companion when she was single.

'AH! The little arseloch has bitten me again, and I did not do anything to deserve this,’ Hans muttered as he rubbed his shoulder. Endor sat perched there looking as pleased as a grouchy owl could look before flying back to his cage, where he sat preening his feathers.

Jil looked up with a slight giggle. 'I’m sorry, mein Liebe. I’m sure it’s meant affectionately.’ It wasn’t. 'And we need to get ready to go out. We’re going to the Hog’s Head tonight to meet my old friend for a drink and a chat.’

That evening found them approaching the tavern once the darkness had begun to settle. Hans was dressed in the wizarding attire Jil had purchased for him, and there was currently nothing to indicate that he was a stranger in a strange land.

They entered, and Jil looked around for the Professor.

-----------------------------------------------

The Hog’s Head pub had never been known for its bright atmosphere. The only thing illuminating the Professor’s pale face enough to be seen was a tea light sitting in a dingy jar on the scrubbed wooden table. He’d chosen a booth in the back left corner so as to keep a proper lookout on every entrance, exit, and movement across the pub.

A groaning creak and snap of the old door mingled with the off-key jingle of the bell over the entrance. 

Long spindly fingers traced the rim of a glass of fire whiskey. It had been a long day, and the awkward rush of seeing the gentleman accompanying his old student was something he’d never quite experienced before. The man seemed awfully... familiar.

I'm only posting the reddit link so that this has a better chance of staying up, but I found this super helpful and wanted to share

There are a few BIG things that decipher whether you're going to get subscribers or not. Even as a content creator with 700k+ followers elsewhere: no, the majority of subs don't stick around long-term, which is why you have to figure out long-term solutions to make people WANT to pay you. MOST IMPORTANT: Understand that whatever you may be offering your subscribers, they can find for free on other sites; whether it's a kink, physical appearance, whatever. - subscribers more often than not don't subscribe, pay, tip solely for content - they subscribe to support creators they LIKE, WANT, KNOW OF. If you're promoting anonymously, on throwaway accounts, with no credit to the username, no personality ...just perpetually throwing your OF link into the abyss... it's going to be hard to find any catches. Paid subscribers often pay users they know of, follow elsewhere, have desired/watched/enjoyed the content of on another platform. - 1. Social status! If you don't have a decent following on at least one social media platform, you're going to have a very hard time finding subs. You want to be able to promote to your FOLLOWERS, rather than to strange accounts who have never seen or heard of you before. One of the only reasons I have been able to make thousands every month, is because I have a good following on Tik Tok! People can put a name to my face, and know my content when they see it. I entice people with my SFW content, thus making it a more intimate experience when someone finds out they can also support me by subscribing to my OF for extra special content in return. You need a name, videos/pictures/etc. out there for people to feel like they KNOW you in order to want to subscribe. Otherwise you get stuck in an endless loop of random people subscribing once and never again because there's nothing intimate or special about their subscription and they view you as a stranger. Tik Tok is a HUGE follower boost if you hit the algorithm right, and post GOOD content. I can go into more Tik Tok advice later if anyone asks! - 2. Wasting your time on Reddit forums! Initially when Tik Tok became strict about OF talk, I panicked. My account had been "permanently banned" twice, and despite me getting it back both times I stopped wanting to take the risk - I had read that Reddit was the next best place to promote myself. Which could have been true if I knew where to post. DON'T waste hours of your time posting your content in Only Fans shoutout forums. If you are using Reddit as a way to promote, stay away from the Only Fans specific forums. Go after the more casual forums - regarding OOTD, Selfies, Lingerie, "Gone Wild" forums, "Innocently Sexy" forums, etc. Only Fans Shoutout forums are really only used/viewed by other OF creators who are also promoting themselves. It's mostly a waste of time, and a LOT of other OF promoters will downvote your post before anyone else even gets too see it... With the amount of promoters, it'll be gone in no time, and no potential subscriber would even see it. - 3. Overpricing your subscription. I KNOW you want to make money, you want this to be a form of your main income... BUT, pricing your content right off the bat at $15, $20, $30, per month is a huge turn off for customers. Most high-end, HD, viral-content-creators, don't charge more than $10 a month. Heck, most of the viral stars are free pages. Underpricing your page feels vulnerable, risky, and maybe even a waste; but you're not losing money by lowering the price, you're losing money when you overcharge and scare people away. More Money sounds better, but in reality, More Subscribers is what you need for success... Most regular OF subscribers know that monthly price don't always equal quality content, and if they aren't SURE if your content is quality? They won't take the risk in losing that much cash vs spending less on a more-reputable page. If the majority of pages are $5, unless you're something REAL rare/viral, you're going to want to stick around that $5, or less. Getting $3.99 from 50 different subscribers (half of which
