Perhaps we should find a way to stay in touch more frequently. Now that I'm no longer wanted by the Ministry, I'm not so hard to find. You're welcome at my beach house in Jamaica any time you like. The drinks are very potent and they seem to be flowing freely, and the sun shines and the music lulls one into a sense of relaxation and it's actually quite lovely. And warm. And did I mention the sunshine?
But... are you saying that were I in your story, I would simply have talked out the entire thousand words? I'm certain I can do that; you've no idea what sort of thing you've unleashed here. For years and years in Azkaban I was silent; there was no point to talking because whenever one did, it had a tendency to draw the Dementors closer and closer. They waited for a lapse, a slip, a laugh, a happy sigh, and then... well, I shouldn't be talking about this. It's far too depressing for most people. Take Tonks, for instance: she would never let me even utter the word Azkaban in her presence. I think that was because in her days as Auror she sent far too many people there, and hearing my first-hand stories of how... lovely the place was might have sent her into something of a tailspin.
But listen to me! You know, I think I probably have a thousand words here already. I don't, but it feels like it. Yes, you and the troops should definitely visit us. We're on the west side of the island, where the sunsets are always beautiful and the mountains break up the wind so nicely. And the snorkeling... well, I should tell you that I've been working on a few charms that make the physical mask-and-snorkel combination unnecessary, as I have some small problem with anything that feels like restraints even after all this time, and it's made swimming so much more pleasant.

Also, there are no chipmunks.
