She laughed as Ebony seemed to perform for the girl. "You are a ham," she told the owl. Ebony looked up at Adrianna, then shrugged. He leaned down and gave her finger an affectionate nibble. Adrianna laughed and looked up at Mackenzie. "He really is, I love him!" she said, giving him a gentle hug. "Sorry, I don't think I introduced myself, I'm Adrianna," she said with a kind smile.



Adrianna was still laughing at Ebony's antics when a sudden movement caught her eye. She looked up and thought she glimpsed the boy from Diagon Alley. But, by the time she went to get up, he was gone. She made a face and settled back down. Well, at least she knew he was on the train. Suddenly, Ebony was looking up as well. The owl remained frozen, looking out of the compartment, then took flight. He flew out the open compartment door and down the corridor. Adrianna sprang up and threw herself after the owl, but by the time she reached the door Ebony was gone. She made a face and sat back down with a sigh. She knew the owl would find her again eventually.



She nodded, understanding. "Well, hopefully the hat likes me then!" she said with a laugh. "Slytherin? I heard that there's a Gryffindor and Slytherin rivalry... know anything about that?" she asked him, curious. "I don't know much of the wizarding world," she explained with a small smile.
