What did Paige know about magical birds? Only that she admired them greatly. Even if Oliver had just pointed out that, technically, owls were not of the magical variety...they were still considered her favorite creature period - and now she was missing Lionel. After all, owls were capable of becoming familiars to wizards and that was a sort of magical bond that was not easily achieved and a rare gift. Not to mention how effortless they made flight look ... and their bright eyes...
The seventh year was getting a bit too caught up in her thoughts about owls to raise her hand and offer up other fowl names - phoenix and snidget being the others she knew a lick about it - but her hand still went up.
"Professor, is a cockatrice considered a magical bird?" The whole lizard's tail and a rooster's head ... and being a sister species to the basilisk was a bit confusing.
Speaking of confusing...another question...or plea...or both...
"As Oliver mentioned...many may argue that owls are mundane...but is there really no magical blood in them?" she asked, her own eyes widening like that of an owl's in an almost say-it-ain't-so manner. "While they do not possess healing tears and the ability to carry heavy loads like a phoenix...nor 360° rotational wings and speed of the golden snidget...they are capable of becoming magical familiars and their ability to trace and track witches and wizards is beyond impressive...so they possess an innate bent for magic? Or...is this more of a trait they have received because generations of their ancestors have been domesticated and trained by witches and wizards for centuries? It just seems...unusual for a creature like an owl to be purely mundane if it quite literally takes incredibly strong Repelling, Disguising or Masking Spells...and protective magic... for a witch or wizard to become untraceable by owls."
