Did he hear him correctly? Had he said he wanted to adopt an owl? Colwyn grinned widely at Austin. The young man had said such wonderful words, it was like music to his ears. "Well you've come to the right place. I can definitely help you with that. Is there a certain species of owl you were thinking about? Do you have any prior experience with owls?" The reason he was asking these questions was so that he could help to quickly narrow down who would be the best match. It was always important to make sure the owl and the person got on well together.

She was 90% sure she was going to get an owl. It would be very practical, of course, and also she thought snowy owls were so beautiful. However, part of her thought a cat might be nice. It could cuddle with her in the common room and follow her around the castle...No way would she get a toad. Reptiles of all sorts creeped her out, which was somewhat ironic as her mother was a proud Slytherin.

It was 1 pm on a Saturday, and the sign said that there would be a grooming demonstration soon. Sophie joined a group of other kids, who she assumed would be her future classmates, and she raced to find a spot in the front before they were all taken.

My, oh my, would you look at the nice little crowd that was gathering round for this afternoons grooming sessions! Colwyn couldn't be more thrilled with how the Meet & Greets were going. It seemed like each one the group was getting larger, the questions more involved, the people more alert and he LOVED it!

"Good afternoon! I'm Colwyn but you can all call me Col if you like, I'm the shopkeeper over at Eeylops Owl Emporium," he gave everyone a warm welcoming smile. "This afternoon I have some friends here with me that will be helping me with some demonstrations on proper grooming etiquette for owls. Now typically an owl will tend to themselves fairly well but occasionally they may need a bit of help due to old age, illness or injury."

Giving a soft whistle two elf owls seemed to appear out of nowhere overheard and silently landed on the perch beside him. "Here we have Dawn and Dusk. They are a bonded pair of Elf owls. They will be helping me today. But before we start does anyone know how an owl might groom themselves or one another?" Time to get those young minds working!
