Conveniently located near the barns lays the domed aviary; home to all the magical flying creatures housed at Hogwarts. Enter carefully, so as not to let anyone fly out, and sit amongst the trees. Spy through the leaves to see if you can spot the brightly colored fairies and fwoopers, or perhaps maybe you can locate one of the augerey’s nests hidden amongst the tree branches. There are benches scattered throughout the dome for anyone to utilize.
The majority of the areas of the aviary have been magically silenced in order to protect the sanity of the visitors, however for those who work best with the sounds of nature there is a small area tucked away with tables under a canopy of mundane birds singing their song. In this area there lays a small container of bird feed. Please only throw out one small handful of seeds per visit.

The Aviary happened to be one of those places Aria always went to to be by herself - minus the birds for company. She always found them to be relaxing regardless if she had human company with her or not. Today? Ms. McLeod was by herself. She wanted to and needed to. Why? Because she needed to be inspired in order to create a new outfit. Something eye-catching, something chic.
Aria sat at one of the tables with a foot tucked under her as she carefully thumbed through a Muggle fashion magazine. Half a dozen others were there before her waiting to be picked up and perused. Muggles should be applauded for their usually creative tastes and ideas in clothing and jewelry. With her free hand, she toyed with the butterfly pendant from her thin gold chain resting against the base of her throat.
She was lost in thought and completely focused on a particular blouse modeled by a rather skinny woman. “Hmm. Not a bad design…” Aria particularly liked the tiny beads on the sleeves. She could see herself wearing that; she could also visualise women and young girls with any amount of size greater than the model in the magazine wearing it.

You know what Apollo liked most about watching the birds in the aviary? They all FLEW. It almost gave him the same exhilaration that he had when watching a quidditch match, all the players each looking like augereys or something as they flew around the pitch trying to score and catch the snitch.
You know what he didn't like about the aviary? When there were other people there to mess with his imagination of these birds as quidditch players. He recognized this girl though. Related to his dormmate and all, he was pretty sure.
"Sorry, I'm not ... interrupting you, am i?" He asked nervously, noticing she wasn't looking at the birds but instead at a magazine??? "Um.....uh... you come here to read magazines?" Who was he to judge though? He came to the aviary to imagine the birds playing quidditch.

Aria, not a young lady known for her use of bookmarks, creased the top edge of the page and was already studying another design when he showed up. “You are,’’ she replied, some haughtiness seeping into her voice. Had she looked up? No. Aria kept her gaze focused on the page. Aria hoped whoever it was would go away but he just kept talking. SHEESH. “Yes, and I come here often.” Not really but he didn’t need to know that.
Aria finally tore her eyes away from the magazine. OHH. It was cousin Freddie’s dormie! “Fancy meeting you here. I half expected you to be on a broomstick somewhere.” She smiled innocently and tilted her head slightly. This was the Quidditch obsessed guy, Aria knew. “You can read a magazine too. I brought enough to share.’’ And she pointed to the table.

Did she just ..... !!!2j2jl2j!! OH NO SHE DID NOT!?!? Chaotic EVIL of her, that's what this girl was!!! Minor panic attack over here, as his eyes widened, his mind going a million miles per second. Maybe that's why he never really spoke with her before now, despite her being dormmates with Bella and Maya. He wasn't a reader, but creasing a page was blasphemy, even if it was just a magazine! "And you're cruel to do that to your pages." he replied back in a disproving tone. She started it by saying he was interrupting. "You don't own the aviary."
He was still staring disapprovingly at her when she had looked up from the magazine to comment about him being on a broomstick somewhere. "I'm not always on the broom. I have legs, thank you very much." He shook his head. "I'd rather not read magazines that were tainted with bent corners. Unless... what are they about?" Please tell me they weren't those awkward teen romance ones. Barf.

Would he have rather she been dishonest? Aria wouldn’t have been sorry to burst his bubble. What was his issue, anyway? It was her business what she did with her magazines. It wasn’t as though they would remain in prime condition after the countless times she planned to pour through them. It was entertaining to see Apollo so worked up. “They’re just secondhand magazines. You want to see more dog eared pages? I've got more.” These magazines had been sent to her by her fathers; they knew she loved to browse them for ideas. “Oh, I never said I owned it. Dunno where you got that idea from.” Apollo was so judgy but Aria couldn’t care less.
She matched his stare of disapproval with a wide smile that just might agitate him further. “But you’re often around brooms one would think that you took one to be your lawfully wedded wife.” Aria wiggled perfect eyebrows. “Ah yes. Your legs. They’re very shapely, did you know?” Would those words earn a squirm out of it? If so, she was HERE FOR IT. The girl flipped another page without much thought. “Fashion magazines. I use them for ideas.”

Honestly? If it meant sparing the pages, then yes. "Suppose on magazines it's okay, but textbooks is like the worst. You don't dog ear your textbooks, do you?" Maybe she shouldn't answer that. "I don't know. You seemed to expect solitude and was surprised when someone showed up here." Judgey or all sorts of confused and hoping for clarity, which was something he doubted he would get much of with Miss Dog-ears.
Apollo blinked and shook his head. "I mean at least a broom wouldn't like ... have ... uh... expectations." Was he serious? Perhaps. But it seriously would be better than have to think about feelings and stuff. "They're called muscles. It's what happens when you exercise them.." Weirdly enough he lifted his trouser leg to flex his calf a moment, before letting it go. "Yea. I'll pass on those magazines. I'm just here for the birds." Because it was an aviary, after all.

The magazines in her possession currently, though only recently acquired, were old. Meaning, they had been well used and well read before. Aria even suspected a few of them had been in the hands of her Aunt Mae, her namesake. The fourth year’s lips twitched into a wide, mysterious smile. “Maybe some time I’ll let you inspect my textbooks and you’ll determine that.” Why spoil the fun? Because, yes. Sometimes Aria DID dogear her texts. It would be so much fun to see Apollo find this out on his own. Maybe he’d faint or something. “I did expect solitude. To an extent, maybe,’’ she admitted. “But you’re here now so all that expectation just up and flew around like one of these birds.”
Aria started to laugh. Not AT Apollo but rather at his words. “Women can be demanding, yeah? Your comment makes it seem as though you have had some sort of experience.” Then she was laughing again. Was Apollo trying to be funny? Because he was. “I see. By the looks of it, you exercise regularly.” He didn’t want to share her magazines? “Can’t say I never offered you any. Have fun with the birds.” Aria ducked her head back into her magazine.

Was that her way of admitting guilt? He didn't know for certain, but given Maya's bookworm tendencies, he was almost certain she would never dog-ear a textbook. Apollo just stood there staring at her in disbelief, because it took a certain kind of person to dog-ear a textbook. "Maybe not," He said finally, defeatedly. Because they were her textbooks and he was pretty sure it was best if he didn't know. But he also knew and vowed then that he would never be borrowing a textbook from Aria. "Hmm... so are you .... you're okay with that ... with me interrupting then?" He made some vague hand motions.
And then they somehow were now talking about women and he scrunched up his face. "Demanding isn't the word I'd have used. More like outright confusing!!! Like ... what do they even want??" Actually, he knew what Isabella wanted, but that was what was confusing because he hadn't been sure he ever led her on like that?? And she was like his sister? Like, they watched each other pee when they were like six years old and bathed together. They had this history together. But then there was Maya, who hadn't actually said anything but just the way she looked at him made him almost certain he was expected to do or say something more. But there was this crippling fear of overstepping boundaries and moving things beyond friendship and then ruining a friendship. So maybe staying friends wasn't a bad thing?? But then, if he didn't, then how would he know unless he took that chance and now his thoughts were spiraling all from one little comment about women being demanding. LIKE, Aria hadn't said anything... and surely she didn't know what her dormmates thought about him. Or did she? Girls talked, that much he knew. But he also knew they could be catty and maybe they were alllllll vying for his attention and so they didn't talk about him much at all so as to not upset the other and keep things civil in the dorm? He squinted over at Aria trying to read her expressions and failing. Exercise was a good diversion, yes. "Yes, i do, thanks for noticing. Got to keep in shape for quidditch and to hopefully make a season regular next summer." He nodded, "don't worry. I most certainly will enjoy the birds. I'm just not particularly interested in reading about what spring's upcoming clothing trends will be."

I'm just not particularly interested in reading about what spring's upcoming clothing trends will be."
Her words had the impact she had been hoping for: an at least slightly confused Apollo. Aria had recently found that she enjoyed leaving people in a state of confusion. Fun, fun, fun. She said no more on the topic but instead smiled mysteriously again. No doubt Apollo would find out eventually what her textbooks looked like someday during a lesson. “Oh, it’s fine. You’re okay company, anyway.”
Aria tucked both of her feet under her, not interrupting a single thing that Apollo was telling her. She didn’t even interrupt him from his thoughts. At least not immediately because he seemed to be having quite the moment. Oh, if only she could see into his mind! “I have no idea what they want. Heck, some of them don’t even know the answer to that question.” Aria eyed him knowingly. “I’m guessing this has something to do with l-o-v-e.” Crushes, relationships and what not.
“Hoping to play professionally then?” Aria flipped to another page, studying a selection of the latest and most fashionable hats worn by the duchesses of Britain. She snorted very unlady- likely. “When you’ll be needing the perfect suit to wear for formal Quidditch events, you’ll be left floundering about where to get the perfect one from.”
Ever since she discovered the aviary, it had become one of Karleigh's favorite places to study. There was something about the sounds of nature when trying to focus that was very relaxing to the fifth year. Of course, she still enjoyed her regular study sessions with her cousins as they were very productive with them all preparing for OWLs and NEWTs, but this was nice for when she was on her own.
She took a seat under the canopy of mundane birds so she could listen to them sing like background music while she studied. What should she start with though? The fifth year dug through her bag before pulling out her Care of Magical Creatures textbook. She could study for the theory portions of her exam and it felt rather inspiring while she was out here in the midst of nature.

“Hi, Karleigh!” Jude grinned at his older sister’s dormmate. “Don’t worry, I haven’t been stalking you.” No, it was only by pure coincidence that the Hufflepuff had found his way there. He’d actually been out on a walk to clear his head, and he had let his feet take him in whatever direction. So, here he was.
Jude noted the CoMC textbook. Truthfully, that was no surprise. Whenever he was around Evan or Reagan these days, they were always in a study mode. In his opinion, Reagan was not handling the pressure of the exams well and had taken to snapping at him at times. While he understood, he really wished she wouldn’t. As for Evan… well, Jude was worried that his best friend might lose it too. “How’re you holding up with any exam pressures you might be feeling?’’ he asked curiously.

Karleigh looked up suddenly from her book, slightly startled as she hadn't been aware anyone else was there, but she soon smiled to see a somewhat familiar face. "Oh hi, Jude," she chuckled. "Well, that's good... but I wouldn't have thought that you were." She figured he was just joking about it anyway. She'd just assume he was here for the same reason maybe. The Aviary was cool.
She was just about to ask him what he thought about some of the birds here, when he posed his own question about exams. That was probably what a lot of people wondered about the fifth years, especially around this time in the term. "Okay, I guess. But I'm starting to get a little more nervous about it the closer they get," she admitted. It really was coming up soon now. "I've been doing a lot of studying with my cousins though, so that helps a little."

"I've been doing a lot of studying with my cousins though, so that helps a little."
Indeed the Aviary was cool. Did anyone ever think all the birds were annoying? It was a question he only now thought of and quickly decided that if anyone did think the Aviary was uncool, then they just might be uncool too. “Sorry, I didn’t mean to startle you.” Realising that Karleigh had been, it was only right that he apologise. Though… he could not help but chuckle at the comment about him not stalking her.
The fourth year nodded understandingly; after all, he’d be in that position in a year’s time. Although… he was sort of feeling it NOW because of Reagan; her nervousness was rubbing off on him. “Nerves are normal. I think after you finish one of the exams, you’ll relax a little. Then the nerves will gradually fade as you finish more exams.’’ These were just his thoughts. As it was, Jude only ever had end of term exams as an experience. But OWLs… that was a major exam and major exams were so much more stressful. “It’s great that you’ve got cousins to help you,’’ Jude continued, nodding knowingly. Heck, he’d also have his cousins since they were mostly the same age. “Think fast: what are three ways we can identify a werewolf?” This was something he did with Reagan: throwing questions in her direction when she least expected it.
"Oh, that's okay," Karleigh replied, waving off the fact that she had been a little startled. It really was okay, but it was also a little embarrassing to get startled without a good reason anyway, so she tried to act casual about it.
Karleigh considered Jude's words and shrugged a little as she nodded. "Yeah, probably," she agreed. She wasn't too nervous, certainly not like some of her classmates but also not as lax as some others had been most of the year either. Those ones really had something to worry about at this point of the year. But also, Jude couldn't really know till next year what it was really like.
The Gryffindor nodded in agreement, also thinking it was beneficial to have cousins to study with sometimes. "Jane and Henry have their OWLs too, but Darren has NEWTs, so we all need to study for some big exams." And it only made sense that they have a regular session. She was about to add more when the fourth year sprung a question on her. "Oh.. um, when they're in their human form or in their wolf form?" Because they were different answers. But she started with one side, undeterred: "Human-like eyes and pupils, size of snout, and... tufted tail." That was an easy one.

Jude had the sense to let the topic go; in any case, the topic warranted no more attention. With regard to OWLs, well… he wouldn’t be stressing about his time. Pressure was something which he handled okay-ish. At least he knew there would be no snapping at anyone on his part.
The Hufflepuff really wanted to see everyone do well, and he hoped that they would. “As long as you guys do your best, I suppose that’s important.” Even though it would be nice to pass every subject, failure should be accepted should it happen. There would always be opportunities to redeem oneself.
Indeed that was an easy question. Jude grinned. “Either one would have been fine but you’re correct!” There was nothing like answering questions to a pop quiz correctly; it boosted self confidence. “Would you like me to help you study? I think I’ve gotten quite good at it by now.”
