Bribing the first owl with treats and murmuring softly to him as he perched on her arm, she stroked the wonderful winged animals, making sure their legs and eyes looked healthy. One of the good things about having an office on the sixth floor was its reasonably close proximity to the Ravenclaw common room and the owelry. After making a quick check of the former place, Norman made his way to the latter, a letter to his daughter tucked neatly in the pocket of his robes. If there was one thing he’d learned in his two terms teaching at Hogwarts, it was that anything could happen at any time. There was no telling if or when communication to the outside world might be cut off (again!), so he was going to seize every opportunity he had to write to Normandie.
His aquamarine eyes scanned the room in search of a certain perpetually grumpy-looking Northern white-faced owl as he stepped inside. He spotted Athena nestled on a perch at the far side of the room, and he noticed someone else too. “Oh, hello, Mia,” he greeted, keeping his voice down so as not to startle the owls. Was he interrupting something? He could come back later...
