Lyddia ran up the Owlery steps anxious to get to her Dad's owl. It arrived just as she did.

She ran over to the owl as it flew over to her, she held out her arm and gave him some treats before untying the package of letters it had been lugging around.

'Thanks, Howie.' She said to the owl. It flew away from her after taking a couple more treats and picked a place to rest after the long trip.

Lyddia grinned with excitment, then ran off to her dorm to read the letters.
