MJ tied her letter to a school owl's leg and sent him off to her mother. Avis wasn't anywhere to be found, so either he was out hunting or they were both looking for each other and missing each other. That tended to happen a lot. MJ never had to worry about Avis taking mail for someone else, since he would just keep coming back until they got bored and chose another owl. MJ had never heard of someone "stealing" an owl though. There were so many school owls, it was pointless and completely unnecessary.
Looking down at the metal egg in her hands, MJ sighed wearily. Curiosity was very nearly killing the hippogriff, but the little Ravenclaw was also worn out. MJ was utterly convinced that she'd got the most demanding, most diva-boy egg in the box. As she looked at him now, Bugsy was preening and twirling around, showing off his latest wardrobe ensemble. MJ had used her Transfiguration spells on him again, so he was white gold with bronze hearts. Her spells only ever worked for an hour or two though; mostly because she was still only a First Year, she supposed.
Hopping impatiently on the palm of her hand, Bugsy brought MJ's attention back to her Charms assignment. She rolled her eyes, and cast "Excolo!" as she wandered out of the Owlery and down the stairs.
