Drabble 56: Owl

The barn owl was hooting incessantly, or so it sounded to Winky, who had a little too much Butterbeer the night before. It was odd how one owl could be so noisy, when its fellows were off getting mail or hunting their meal. The Owlery was deserted, except for this one owl, which looked as if it was sick. Winky carefully picked it up; feeling it shudder against her skin as she brought it to the Care of Magical Creatures Professor. Her chore finished for now, she headed back to the kitchens, in hope of a cure for her ailment.
