| | |  Owlery
 At the very top of the West Tower is where all owls, whether belonging to you individually or the school, reside. As you ascend the tower and its many stairs, constant hooting can be heard and you can feel the temperature gradually dropping. Once you open the door, you can feel a draft blowing straight at you because there is no glass where the windows would be. A few owls flutter in and out of the windows as the door closes.
Stepping deeper into the owlery, hundreds of owls lining the walls in their little nooks turn their head at you. Some even swoop down from their perches to say hello in the hopes that you'll give them a few owl treats that are in a closed bag inside a drawer of an old wooden desk that was placed in the centre of the room. If you investigate the desk further, you will find spare ink, quills, and parchment should you need to write a letter on the spot if you aren't here to just check up on the owls. Pellets, old animal skeletons, belladonna berries, and owl droppings cover the floor, so watch your step.

"Are you fast, little fella?" Or feller? Er? "Do you know its name? My name is Bernieeeeee," she introduced herself to the owl and acted like she was going to shake the owl's leg with her hand. hehe. "And um, I know we're in the same year, but....." Buuuuuuuuut Bernie like, never ever spoke to Ravenclaws. Their mere presence in class typically made her feel dull. "So I forgot your name...." Sorry, owl whisperer!! She gave her an apologetic grin. "I've been calling him," She GUESSED the owl was a him, but who really knew? "Fredrick. He's small, but noble." He preformed mighty deeds like delivering precious letters and small parcels. Tavie made sure he got extra treats for it. "Oh!" Hehe. "I'm Tavie. I remember you." Sort of. As a standard, Tavie remembered a lot of things, and that included names. She just didn't know much else about this girl past that. But that was okay because this was how BEAUTIFUL friendships started. "Your tower is beside mine." Giggle. "What are you sending?"

"Fredddddderick!" Bernie repeated the name with MUCH enthusiasm. She wanted to pet him on the head; would the owl like that? "Sorry I'm fresh outta treats, Freddie," Bernie pat-patted him gently to see if he'd take to her, and then turned her attention back to the Ravenclaw.
Er... Tavie, was it? Hmm. "Tavie, yes." Totally knew that. KNEW IT. Yes, they both lived on the seventh floor. Bernie stared off at the wall for a moment, spacing out as she tried to recall what the heck she was here for. Did she NEED to mail something home, or....?
"I dunno," the third year answered after a long beat. "I think I had a letter but..." She stood up and patted down her pockets. "I dunno where I put it." So there was that. Wellp. She'd walked all those stairs up here for NOTHIN'. MAN. She used to be really good at remembering things and places and even had Hogwarts memorized after just one year here. But not anymore. Apparently all that flew out the window when you turned the ripe old age of 13, huh???????

Catherine knew that Newt Scamander, being a creatures' lover, would've enjoyed doing the mundane tasks of creature keeping. That was why she was now up in the owlery with her cutout and camera, looking around to find the best spot to place him for the photograph.
She didn't want to put him right on top of owl poop because she wouldn't be able to use magic to clean him up afterwards, so she'd rather avoid the mess if she could help it. Which she believed she could, especially as none of her siblings was there to get in the way.
Having a barn full of owls back home, the dirty ground full of owl droppings didn't faze her in the slightest. The Ravenclaw walked to a nicely lit spot and neatly placed Newt Scamander's cardboard cutout on the floor, being careful to put it far enough from the poo as to not get it dirty but close enough as to show what the intention was behind the photograph.
Again, there was nothing she could do about the scales, but she was going to pretend she was over it now.
After taking the photograph, she put the camera in her bag and made sure Mr Scamander's cutout was clean enough to go back in her bag too. She got her parchment back out and wrote her notes as she left the area.

. Newt went to the owlery to make sure the owls were okay
. He noticed the ground was a mess and decided to clean it without magic
. Newt enjoys doing this the Muggle way because this way he can spend more time with the creatures he's caring for
