Jory had not written to his parents for a while and decided he should before they thought something had happened to him. His mom tend to worry. Alot. He already had the letter in his hand, having just written it in the Dorm after he came up from Herbology.
Jory looked around, for his owl, Tobias but didn't see him
"Where is he?'' the boy wondered. A loud hoot came from behind and he spun around.
"Oh there you are, Tobias. I thought that you may be out. I've got a letter. Take it home.'' He stroked Tobias's head. The owl gave another hoot and spread its wings and then soared out of a window. Jory watched him go, deep in thought. Every year when he was at Hogwarts, he would hear from his sister. Almost every week. But this year, he had not even gotten one letter. He sighed. His sister hated him.
