Anything that required interaction with complete strangers had caused him a great deal of anxiety, and while he was getting much better at it, this time was no exception.
This would be the first year's first time mailing anything all by himself, and he didn't really know the process. He saw the Questionnaire on the counter, and figured he'd have to fill one out, but he wasn't sure. And all the different owls! Did he have to choose one? Oh, this was all so confusing! He really wished he had someone there who knew what they were doing to help him through it. Then again, that would be good to have, no matter the situation.
Azura sighed softly as she made her way into the owl post office, usually she would just use her own Owl Snowy, but Snowy was still off with a letter to her grandparents and she wanted to write to her mother, she wanted them to come to Hogsmeade, she could really use her Mom and Dad right now! This mess with Jace had her turned upside out.. and she was losing one of her good friends..
That's what hurt the most.. She thought anyways..
Her purple eyes slowly adjusted to the dimmer light indoors and as they did, her gaze landed on a familiar face! One she had been missing a whole lot lately!
"GARRETH!!! Azura's happy voice was only a second or two behind her hug as she almost tackled her friend!
Oh thank Merlin!
"I've missed you!" She said honestly as she smiled up at him, still attached to him. She almost felt like crying! But she didn't, instead she had a happy smile.. one that hadn't been seen for a few weeks.
