Mordred made his way to the Owlery to visit his owl Xchylar and to send a letter to his parents. As soon as he got inside, he heard a flapping sound and he smiled. Xchylar automatically landed on his shoulder as if reading his master's mind that he was to send a letter.
"Mum would be proud." he told Xchylar and the owl hooted in reply. Mordred unfolded his letter and re-read it.
Dear Mum and Dad,
I'm already here in Hogwarts, and I'm enjoying every second of it. We had a feast last night, and the sorting was held. I got in to Slytherin! I know you'll be proud, mum. Classes haven't started yet, but this school is already bustling with energy. I also saw the old ship on the lake, and it was really old. Smells like one too. My friends decided that we should explore it as soon as we're permitted. Anyway, I also have a letter for Dominic. I know how much he misses us and I hope my note to him would cheer him up a bit. Can you please pass it on to him?
I love you both!
-Mordred
Xchylar, as if reading the letter too, hopped down and held his foot perfectly still in front of Mordred, who tied his letter securely to it. Mordred got some pellets and held it out to Xchylar, but refused to eat it.
"Fine. Have a safe flight, then." he told the owl, and with that Xchylar flew out of the window.

Hopefully someone who knew how would show up and help her because she won't be able to do this alone.
Mordred was about to go down and return to the dungeons when he heard a girl call out for an owl. Mordred smirked as he heard her call the owl,
'Mr.'.
Mordred whistled and a barn owl came down and landed on his arm.
"Need to send that letter?" Mordred asked the young witch.
"You can use this owl." he said pointing at the owl on his arm.
