La Volière
 

Open! ^-^
 

The best thing about being in a new place was getting herself lost on a Saturday morning after breakfast. She was free to wander around and find all the new best spots for HOURS. No lessons and no practices. Minus her daily morning run/workout, that is.

This mornings exploration was happening outside. Nothing was going to be overlooked. If it appeared interesting, she was checking it out. Anything mysterious was being looked at too. Boring? Yup. Rylee didn't want to miss anything. In many ways it was like being a first year all over again. The excitement that came along with learning and seeing so many new things was unreal. To say the least, this sixth year was in her glory.

Especially now. Standing outside the massive aviary was unforgettable. If it was this impressive from the outside... what did the inside have in store for her?! They could go inside couldn't they? Rylee looked around for a 'Keep Out' sign or something telling her that she wasn't allowed inside but found nothing. Nor did she find a book or sheet of parchment to sign her name on showing that she was here, like how things worked back at Hogwarts in the barn.

Quietly opening the door and letting herself in, making sure the door closed behind her, Rylee stood a few feet inside the aviary in awe. She couldn't help but thing how much her brother would LOVE it in here.

Had she been in here yet? Chloe wasn't sure for a moment, but the minute she opened the door and walked in the warmth of the room hit her and she knew she hadn't been here yet. The trees were tall and the chirping was loud, but it was exciting to see the wildlife here. She wondered if they could maybe get something like this at Hogwarts some time.

It wasn't until she was fully in and looking around that she realized she wasn't alone. There was more than just the bird in here, "Hello?" Turning the corner she saw Rylee and gave a small wave, "I hope I'm not interrupting anything." Was the girl trying to study or even do research on the birds that Chloe might have come in on.

"Interesting place, isn't it?"

With her back being to the doorway, Rylee heard the sound of someone else enter the aviary and than their voice before she knew who it was. The smile that was already on her face remained there as she turned around to greet Chloe. "Hello."

"Not at all. I was exploring the grounds and ended up here." Which had become a normal routine for her as it had been when she started Hogwarts in her first year. "It really is. It's beautiful in here." So many different types of birds all in one place was lovely. "Would you like to take a walk around in here with me?" Hopefully Chloe would enjoy it as much as she already was.

Oh, good, good, she wasn't interrupting anything and by the looks of it she hadn't scared away any of the birds that were near. , "It really is. This is my first time in here. I hadn't gotten around to coming in, but I'm glad I did. This place is wonderful." They really needed one of these back at their school, maybe she would try to suggest it.

Looking back at Rylee she smiled, "Sure, I'd love to walk and look around. How many types of birds do you think are in here?" As she started walking Chloe looked at the plants and searched for some of the birds. She heard them but had only seen what looked like the same bird swooping around them. Stopping she glanced around, "You don't think they have one of those birds that make you go into a trance or whatever that is?"

What was the name of that bird again?

Rylee smiled. "Mine too. I was taking a walk around the grounds, exploring as I normally do whenever I'm somewhere new and I ended up here." With the way she loved to explore and know her surroundings this was completely normal for her. Even if that hadn't been the case, sooner or later she would've found this place. And she was more than pleased that it had been sooner. "It really is. It feels almost like being at home... not really but like being out in the forest behind my home and being able to hear all the birds in the trees."

"That's a good question. One I'm not sure of but I would say there's definitely a wide variety of species in here." Rylee wasted no time at all in beginning their walk, sticking to one of the paths. A bird that could put you into a trance? Stopping beside Chloe she looked around for a moment, clearly in thought even as she spoke to her friend. "You don't mean a Fwooper, do you?" They didn't quite put someone into a trance but they could indeed cause insanity if not the proper charms were not placed upon them monthly and you heard them sing.
