Zara smiled and nodded. She took Oakey's hand and said, "Yup, let's goo." Really, she was in need of a good bath. They walked away from the owlery together as Zara had one last look and said, "Bye, Eirwen!" to her owl. Then she was out of sight.

'Here we are William!' Rose said as she walked in.

Cliodna and Ellie still hadn't exactly formed a relationship. Once again, Ellie was going to blame that useless vacation with her cousins. She couldn't bring her owl with her, then. Apparently, Muggles didn't keep owls as pets and people would get awfully curious as to why an owl was passing in and our the window.

It also didn't help that the fourth year hadn't yet come to visit. She wasn't good with pets, she understood that now. But, she honestly wanted to take good care of Cliodna. Really.

At least she could hunt for herself...or...they might have another pygmy puff incident.

That was why Ellie was here, anyway. To just....pet her?

Owl treats might've been a good idea.

So where is your owl?" William asked Rose. Her name is Helen, right?" William asked Rose. " First time, I have been here" William told Rose.

'Hazel, and she's over here!' Rose said as she beckoned William to follow. 'Hello, Hazel!' Rose said as Hazel nipped her finger affectionally. 'This is William!'

Maisie found herself wandering up to the owlery, she'd never been here before! And she didn't exactly know how she got here.. "uh ohhhhh.." she said in a low voie, she didn't know how to get back, and that could be a major problem here.. She could just picture herself living here, being stuck here for the rest of her life.. She shuddered. Oh! Look a girl! She considered saying "come here little girl, I have some candy for you," but then she realized she didn't want to creep her out, because she needed her in order to survive in this unknown destination. "um..you?" yeah thaat sounded okay, "hey um you, can you like bring me a lifes supply of food? Because I'm lost, and I need your help in order to survive." she said seriously.

There were three general problems when visiting your owl. The first, was finding your owl amongst the Merlin-knows how many that are in the Owlery. The second, was finding your owl awake. And the third, was coaxing your owl to come.

Ellie was still stuck on the first. She didn't know Cliodna. So, unlike with Screech, she couldn't identify her by markings or behavior or anything. Hell, Cliodna probably didn't even know her own name.

But she was soon distracted by another voice, at first presuming the girl was just talking to her owl. Still, Ellie turned to give her a small smile. Whilst looking at her, she realized it was actually her being addressed.

Ellie furrowed her brows, "I don't think it would be very reasonable to bring food here." For many many reasons including how unsanitary and disgusting it was to eat in an owl dropping infested tower. "But the Great Hall is an excellent place to get some." Nod. "You're in the Owlery." And now she wasn't lost. Now she knew precisely where she was, right?

And the Owlery is certainly not the Great Hall.

Adrianna smiled and walked over to Selina. "Pleasure's all mine, Selina" she said softly, still smiling, albeit pretending. Her dark red hair hung limply around her face, lazily framing sunken almost pitch-black eyes, unlike how she was a week ago, with her bloodred hair framing her beautiful face, setting off midnight-blue eyes.

" Oh that is right, it is Hazel" William told Rose. " Hi Hazel" William called out to her, " Is your finger ok?" William asked Rose. " My owl is over here and is named " Pettifer", a boy owl" William explained to Rose. " Who knows maybe are owls will like each other, right?" Wiliam asked Rose. " I know I really like you" William smiled at Rose.

'Yeah, my fingers fine!' Rose grinned 'It's her way of telling me she likes me! Oh, he's lovely!' Rose said as she bent down to talk to Pettifer 'Hello, how are you?' Rose was surprised when he hooted back. 'I love owls! Aw, I really like you too William!' Rose grinned as she hugged him.

The blonde Malfoy walked into the Owlery and was greeted by her beautiful snow owl. The owl hooted at her and rubbed its head against her shoulder. "Hello Snowy. How are you today?" she asked and gave the owl a little treat. She scratched the owls head softly and sighed.

Stella walked quickly in to the Owlery. Why is she walking so quickly? She doesn't know. She spotted Astoria in the Owlery talking to her pet owl. Walking right next to her but not looking at her she said, "For a person your age you're kinda childish. I talk to my owl only when I am either depressed, or bored. So, which one are you?" She asked looking for her owl Euro. "Have you seen my owl?" she asked looking around the room for her owl.

The blonde looked up to see Stella. Hopefully the other blonde was in a good mood today. Emma gave her a smile. "Well, I am fourteen. And I talk to my owl because I love her a lot. She just came back from delivering a message to a friend of mine. And how are you?" explained Emma. Now had the Malfoy seen her owl? She shook her head. "Sorry I haven't. What does your owl look like?"

"Well if she just came back from a delivery, and you truly love her then feed her, she looks starving, " said Stella looking towards Astoria's owl. Suddenly, an owl flew towards her with a golden locket hanging around his neck. "Oh no," she mumbled to herself looking rather worried. As the small elf owl landed slowly onto the platform in front of her, she took, from her pocket, out a small plastic bag with a few owl pellets, and began to feed her owl.

Emma nodded. Well the blonde had been feeding the owl before she got here! Emma reached into her bag, pulling out some extra owl treats, but Snowy shook her head. She wasn't hungry. "Yeah. Well I did feed her. She doesn't want anymore." she replied, politely.

The blonde's eyebrows raised. "What's the matter?" she asked in a worried tone as she saw that Stella had a look of pure worry on her face. Hmmmmm... Hopefully it wasn't tooo bad.

Ignoring what Astoria said about her owl, she put her hand closer towards the owl and the golden locket magically got off the owl's neck and right onto her hand. She looked at the locket. "Orange lets find out how you are gonna humiliate me today," she mumbled to herself beginning to unlock the locket. Just as she unlocked the locket it magically opened itself and flew to the center of the room. Silence. Stella was looked at the locket like it is going to kill her. Suddenly, an explosion sounded from the locket and burned pieces of paper with sketches on them began falling towards the floor. "Astoria look for a paper which is not burned," she said looking at the burnt papers noticing that they are her design sketches, and her sister ruined them

Fee made her way to the owlery with the letter for her best friend Rex in the hand:She really,really missed him.Hogwarts without the glitter boy wasnt the same and still the blonde was happy to hear about how succesfull he was with his dance studio in spain.She guessd that was the curse of the best friends.Always being happy for eachother even though you missed them.

Reaching the last step the Slytherin looked around for her snow Baylee but coulnt find her.Where was that little girlie?!Making his way furhter down the third year noticed another girl standing there.Oh,she looked kinda familiar.As Fee took a closer look she recognized her."Heey Georgiana",the girl waved,"how are you doing?"

" I am glad your finger is fine" William told Rose." Oh, yeah my owl is kind of goofy" William said to Rose." I am planning on telling yo good news anout ud" Wiliam explained to Rose.

" Emma, you have a pretty owl" William told her. " What is the name of your owl?" William asked Emma.

" Fee, three times today, yeah" Willaim told her. "So where is yoru owl?" William asked Fee.

'About what?' Rose asked confuzzled. 'I love your owl! Ow!' Rose said as Hazel nipped her hard 'Hey, OK, you're lovelier!' Rose said to appease her owl whilst giving her a treat.

The blonde noticed that Stella had ignored what she said. She snorted quietly and shook her head sadly. Some girls would never learn proper Slytherin manners.. Oh well. She didn't care. But what captured the blonde's curiosity more was that Stella gave a locket a weird look. Like the locket was a dark being about to kill her. Hmmm... THEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN... BAM! An explosion occurred. Snowy flew up into the sky towards the other owls as Emma covered her ears a few seconds after it began and closed her eyes. She opened her brown eyes to see burnt pieces of paper spread across the floor. They were of sketches. Then Stella was asking this person called Astoria to help her. Emma looked around helplessly to see if this person was behind her, but then she remembered that in fact she WAS Astoria. Rightt....

"Got it." she said as she stared at the ground, examining the sketches to find one that wasn't burnt. Her brown eyes led her to one that sat upon the snow. "Here's one!" she exclaimed, picking it up and handing it to Stella.

This girl obviously wasn't getting it. "no no, you don't understand. I. Am. LOOOOOOOOOOST. as in, I dont know how to get back. Therefore, I am stuck. Therefore, I need food. Therefore, I need you in order to survive. Do you see what I'm getting at?" ha. Her teachers had called her dumb, but look at this dumb blonde. In Germany they would call a dumb blonde, dumme blondine..and she simply knew that because she had met a German! Now her friends & teachers & family couldn't call her dumb because look at her! She's worse than me! Maisie thought to herself.

Blink.

Ellie bit her lip some. It helped. Usually. Then replied, "It's quite easy to get back. If you walk down the stairs...then more stairs...and more...eventually, you'll get back to the ground floor." Where the Great Hall was. Where food was. Where food wasn't contaminated by owl.

"Or you could walk back with me." She knew the way.

Cliodna could be pet some other day.

"Lets do that!" she said, "then we can hang out or go swimming or something!" she said happily, "I'm maisie by the way!"

Ellie gave the girl a small smile through pressed lips and a nod. Really, though, she was quite relieved. For a minute, she had thought this girl was another LOLA and was going to go all LOLA on her.

That didn't happen, thank MERLIN.

"Good to meet you Maisie. 'M Ellie." This greeting called for another head nod. "I don't...swim, though." Her cousins had an issue with that over the summer. She could swim, she just hated it very much. Besides, it was November. Who swam in November?

"Weren't you hungry?" That would presumably be the reason for asking Ellie for food in the first place, yeah? "We could go to the Great Hall...or the Kitchens.."

" Guess you should be nicer to Hazel" William told Rose. " Pettifer hooted atHazel in a cool owl sot of way. " You are the one I want to be with and so unfortunately I am dumping Wisteris" William explained to Rose. " I hope she does not get angry with me' William said to Rose.
