It seemed like only yesterday that he held her for the first time.
The memory got a bittersweet smile from him, but a sudden knock at the door jerked him out of his thoughts of his beloved daughter. He opened the door a tiny crack and peered outside. what he saw made his heart ache. There was poor little Stella hiccuping and shaking! "Stella?" he whispered, approaching cautiously so as not to frighten her. He bent to look into her eyes and immediately noticed the tears. Poor girl! "Here," he said in his comforting dad!professor voice, "come inside, and you can tell me what's bothering you."
OOC: Sorry for the wait! You may post in Gaston's office now.
The little podgy owl flew through the corridors looking for the recipient of the letter in his beak. His pudginess hadn’t stopped him from delivering a letter or package yet. Even with this wonky little wings. He was always pleased to get the job done. Mostly because of the possibility of getting a treat for a job well done.
When the owl found the professor who the letter was for. The little owl hooted happyily as he seen the professor. Even it he had opened his door just a crack he had seen the man. Now all he had to do was get his attention. Flapping his wings hard he swooped down beside the man's door. Dropping the letter in front of him.
HOOT!
He hooted up at the man, as if saying that it was for you. He made himself at home in front of the corridor. He groomed himself as best as he could, clearly waiting for a treat.

Professor Marchand,
I hope this letter finds you well. I wanted to write to you to see how you, your family, and the extended Lion family are. I hope the new Lions are keeping well and staying out of trouble (as much as they can!). I am still studying Charms and Wandlore at WU London. I will be apprenticing under a Wandmaker this upcoming December break just outside of Beauxbatons. Other than that, I am staying busy with my classes and fellow Hogwarts alums. In fact, I better head out to the cafe to go meet Ace, Mel, Tory, and Sammy; otherwise, I'll be late.
Hope to see you soon and hope all well is at Hogwarts....
