Caledon Roth The Leaky Cauldron | Rhibear ~ Madam Solo ~ Dark Brooding Girl ~ Accio Jedi ~ Gryffinclaw ~ Just a doll As soon as Gaston got approval for the mail he needed to send, he headed straight for the owlery. He stifled a yawn, shaking his head to clear the sleepy fog. Last night's meeting in the bistro left him drained. He was going to need a cup of coffee after this! The dark-haired Frenchman shivered as he entered the owlery, wrapping his robes tighter around him, The winter weather had made this place as dark and cold as his thoughts. As his eyes adjusted to the light, he glanced around the room and spied a familiar face. It was the fat owl who'd been at the school since he started. "Hello, old friend," he greeted the bird, gently stroking its feathers. "Glad you're still here..." "Here, eat up," he said, offering the owl a handful of treats. As it greedily munched, Gaston's thoughts wandered back to the first time he saw this owl and the chance meeting with Rosalyn that followed. It was a much happier time in his life... He was jerked out of his thoughts by a peck on his hand. The owl looked at him with a loud hoot, as if demanding more treats. Gaston laughed. "Sorry, that's all you get. You've got a job to do."
He gently tied an envelope to the owl's leg. It contained the following message:
Outwardly, the letter looked like an ordinary, if not badly written, supply order for Scrivenshaft's, but there was more to it than meets the eye. Bright blue eyes glanced cautiously around the room. The moment Gaston was sure he was alone, he bent down and whispered near the owl's head, "Take this to Regina Hawthorne." He watched the owl take off and quickly made his exit before he could get caught.
