Whiiiich was why she nearly jumped out of her skin when she heard the screech. Ironic, given there were constantly dozens of owls in their barn and garden and, honestly, home ~~thanks, Scarlett~~.

This was work, though, so maybe that was why the little owl's screech surprised her. Yes, she'd go with that.

"Oh, hello, there!" The woman greeted the owl with a friendly smile, holding out her left arm for it to perk onto if it wanted. It wasn't any of her friends' or relatives' owl, so she wondered what that might be. Uuuuhhh, it was probably expecting a treat, wasn't it? Sophie rummaged through her pockets and lo and behold, nibbles. The things you found in your pockets when you had kids and ~~millions of~~ pets. "Here you go, would you like a treat?" So you could please give me my letter? She held out her hand with the treats and watched to see what the unknown owl would do.

Around, around, and around they go...when will they stop? Nobo--- OH TREATS!

Completing another loop for good measure, Mangig hovered in the air above the woman's arm for a moment before dropping with a sudden and adorable little PLOP on to her outstretched arm. Puffling their feathers, the Scops Owl hooted and whinnied in delight as it lumbered towards her hand and snatched the treat between its beak. Wings stretched and tail feathers wiggling dangerously, Mangig took their time savoring the treat while shifting their weight between both of their legs. After a couple of minutes, those wide golden eyes were on the woman and leg stretched out for them to take the letter off them.

Mum (and Dad),

Just in case you're wondering which I am sure you are, Catherine, Scarlett and yours truly are fine and dandy. Scar's adjusted well in school, and she's okay. No trouble or accidents... yet. For all our sakes, we can hope it stays that way until the end of term.

Oh, and in case dad asks why I used another owl, don't worry, Fat Owlbus is doing great. Just not a fan of sending letters every other day. It's exercise, he hates it, and I got a scratch to prove it.

Anyway, you'd be pleased to know that I have been studying (as promised) for my OWLs... but I am EXCITED about my recent discovery. You see, I found something rather interesting between the pages of an old Transfiguration book in the Library, and I'd like for you to read it. It's FASCINATING.

When you've cooled down, let me know how you're all doing back home. Pass on a bear hug and head noogies to Nugget. Will owl him the good stuff once we're allowed in Hogsmeade. I'd suggest giving my grumpy old man hugs too, but I'm sure you'll take care of it... with lots of kisses. (｡>﹏<｡)

Awaiting your Howler,
- Noah Xx

There would be more treats before they left, yes?
