Text Cut: Vickers and the lovely cockatoo!

The boy had gotten so quiet at the end of his sentence that Adam had a hard time understanding him without leaning his one ear forward a little bit. Adam thought he was shy but in all honesty he had nothing on this kid! Thankfully with Adam's not so subtle face lean and his not too shabby hearing, Adam was able to catch out that the boy usually went by Vickers...hmm...that was a new one, but hey, he liked unique! "Nice to meet you Vickers..."

While Adam was about to break into another stream of apologies for running into him and inquire more into how long he had been at Hogwarts ~~since he didn't look familiar~~ and what house he was in when a rather loud squack went piercing through the air, causing Adam to instinctively raising his hands to cover his ears. He stopped mid way, thankful that the bird had ceased with the noise as soon as Vickers called it by name, which was Dolly if he had heard it right over all the racket.

"Wow, what a gorgeous cockatoo," Adam said admiringly. "I have to admit outside of pictures in books I've never actually seen one in person."

"Most people just call me Vickers... but its ok with me if you want to just stick to Vanderbilt." he mumbled rambling. Dolly was set to IGNORE Master BugEye because she is just TIRED of the boring stuff he usually gives her. She picked up treats left by the other students for their Owls. Why couldnt Master BugEye with those large eyes come up with good stuff like those? Then there was a boy who ran into him. Oi! The cockatoo leaped off from her perch at the tallest part of the owlery and started swooping down in a spiral descent. She landed perfectly at edge of the small table where students would write stuff at the last minute "SQUAWWKK!!!" Ok so that really wasnt very eloquent of her, but she had to voice out her disapproval. Nobody pushes Master BugEye around except her! Vickers turned at the sudden sound of loud squawking "Dolly!" he smiled, shuffling through her food bag for some dried fruit.
