Rayna took a deep breath as she walked across the old bridge towards the grounds. There was a nice strong breeze blowing through the slats, and the view from the mid-way point on the bridge was lovely. Really helped that today was perfectly clear of clouds, and had a good temperature to boot.
The girl stopped for a moment, leaned her elbows against the railing and looked down. A few small creatures were moving around in the valley below, probably scrounging for food or materials for their homes. And a few birds perching in the trees towards the 'grounds' side of the mountain slope were sounding off their alarms. Probably because they saw Rayna peering over at them with keen eyes. "I'm not going to bother you." Rayna said to the birds, "I swear." She turned her attention back to the valley below, and took another breath. True, she was only eleven, but actually being at school had her thinking....'What job would I be best at?' The girl hadn't so much as thought of that before coming to Hogwarts. It just wasn't her thing to think about that kind of stuff while she'd been at home with her parents. And if there was a time to really start preparing for her future career, it would be now. At school. As soon as possible.
Just as Rayna's nose began to wrinkle from being lost in thought, her owl Silvano, a mature tawny, landed next to her on the railing. "I don't suppose you have anything from home, right?" She asked, looking to both the owls legs which didn't have any mail tied to them. "That's alright." Rayna stroked the owls feathers. 'Mum and dad mentioned every few days. Not every other.' She thought to herself. "Good to see you're settling in here well, though."
Rayna smiled lightly and reached into her bag, pulled out an old biscuit and broke it into several pieces. A good portion of which she fed to Silvano.
