Cass climbed up the stone steps to the feathery owlery. She drew her Slytherin scarf more tightly around her since it was much colder up here than in the castle. She sung softly as she looked around for her black eagle owl, Cassiopeia. Towards the end of the song that she was singing, Cassandra saw Cassiopeia swooping down towards her from her perch at a beam high up.

"Hey there darling." She told the bird fondly as it landed on her outstreched hand. "Sorry I haven't been able to visit you lately...everything has been so busy.." The own hooted in reply, as if it understood everything that she had said "Oh I missed you so much..." She told the bird as she offered her some owl treats from her hand.

She watched as the black bird ate the owl treats that she had offered. There really was something about this bird that calmed her down...she gently stroked its feathery back as it just stayed there, perched on her covered arm.

Cass didn't know how long she had stayed there, but she knew that it would be dark soon. So with a reluctant sigh, she moved her arm, making the owl fly off and she said with a giggle "Bye Cass. I'll visit soon, ok?"
