"It's not my real name though," she told Jessie, "I have a really silly name actually." Mason scrunched up her nose and sighed. She hated her real name.
Mason beamed at her and pointed back at the discarded parchment that she had left near Shadow.
"I got a letter from him this morning at breakfast. He just asked how Hogwarts was and sent me my Permission Slip for Dueling Club. So I'm just writing him a thank you note." she waved her hand dismissively as the Gryffindor called her lovely,
"I'm far from lovely, actually. I'm quite horrid."
Mason cocked her head to the side,
"Oooo, he's in my House, is he?" she said and gave a chuckle,
"What year is he in?" The observing part was a little creepy, but Mason kept her mouth shut.
She looked at the Snowy-Owl Jess was pointing at, it was quite a lovely creature,
"My dad has one just like that, Haven, he's named. Sweet old thing, really." she stepped towards the owl and rubbed its beak with the side of her finger.
"See? It's harmless!"
Mason nodded,
"She's safe." she told Jess, before stepping back to let the girl feed it,
"Give her the treat. Open your hand and place the treat in the palm of your hand, let her eat it out of your hand. She'll probably like you a lot more then."
Go on then!
