Louisa kept stroking the owl, "I don't know. We could attach a tiny bag to the owl's neck and tuck the letter in there." She smiled shiftily. "We're in a MAGICAL school if you remember." Yeah, it was a fact Louisa found hard to forget with all those moving pictures around.

She took hold of the owl and placed her in front of her on the ground. Louisa then crouched and started tie-ing the letter... or tried to. After several failing attempts she gave up, "Would you stop eating for a moment and tie this for me? She keeps moving her leg!" This owl wasn't cute right then!





Just as Louisa was complaining about the owl, Jenny rushed into the owlery. "Jenny!" Louisa exclaimed making the owl flying away with the letter in her beak. Louisa's head snapped towards the owl angrily, "Hey you! Come back here!" She started hopping to reach for the owl which stood on a rock coming out of the wall.

"Come down here please!" She sounded desperate. She started to jump again while talking to Jenny, "How come you're late?" She said between the hops.

Bonnie needed to send a letter.

Well, why else would she be here? Owl's scared her. She didn't want to be here but poor Vanessa would probably have a heart attack otherwise. She missed her sister. She really didn't like her sister when her sister was here but now that she didn't have Vanilla with her, and that she didn't have her mom to write to, she would write to her Vanilla. Siiigggghhhh. She patted a Hogwarts owl nervously and tied the note to it.



"Take that to Vanessa Campbell puleez." She smiled at the bird and watched it fade into the sky.

Ohhhhh Danika.......... ;) ;)
 

Mr. Fletcher ;)
 

Three letters. Danika was carrying three letters. And, of course, since no one was going to be here at night, then she still had the time to finish up the last one while in here.

Except, the owlery didn't seem to be free of people at all! There was one boy, you see. "Fletcher!" she exclaimed, very unlike her, but she was caught by surprise, "I mean, good evening Fletcher" she nodded, as she looked at the Hufflepuff Champion.

Well, there went her three letters, she only had two of them complete, and those will be the ones she'll be sending. She took the half finished ones and placed it in her pocket. No, Fletcher didn't see that.

"Hoe are you today?" or tonight, which ever. The girl finally entered the place in the look out for the one owl who would most likely resist colder environments.

"Oh, um..." Jenny replied as she started to look for an owl to send her letter. "I was like on the fifth floor when I realized I had to go to the restroom. I got lost for quite a while, so when I finally found one..." Jenny stopped, not wanting to go any further. It was quite embarrassing once it gets to that part of the story.

She finally found a beautiful brown barn owl perched on the lower parts. She petted it for a while before tying the letter to the owl.

"Hello," Jenny said to the owl. "Do you mind if you can send this to my father, please? His name is--" Before Jenny could tell the owl her father's name, however, the owl just hooted softly and flew out of the window with the letter tied to its leg. Jenny stood there for a while. "Wow." She blinked and stared at the window wide-eyed before turning to Louisa and...um, Enya.

Welcomee
 

Enya had been happly eating her food - or what was left of it - when she heard some new girl bussle into the room. Saying sorry and all to Louisa, Enya peeked up at her, concluding the girl must be Jenny. Meh. She went back to her plate.

She didn't partically want to meet the girl, she was only there after all because Louisa had dragged her there. Sigh. But then she heard the girl talking to her. She looked up at her for a moment before setting her plate on the floor next to her and leaning her head back against the wall ignoring the girl completely.

Enya rolled her eye's at her best friend's sentence. Yeah how could she forget how to send a letter. Eye roll. She sighed and watched Louisa trouble with the owl. Course she remember'd where she was. Jesus! Enya didn't respond, she really didn't see a reason to.

She giggled a little when she watched Louisa get into some trouble with the owl she had. It was a funny sight, but after a few minutes she sighed and stood up. She walked over to where the bird was and gestered for it to come down. Saying, "Come here...please"

She didn't have to wait long before the owl itself came down and rested on her arm, smiling she turned towards Louisa stroking the owl. Time for the girl to send her letter. While she was looking at Louisa she peeked at the new girl - Jenny and gave her a nod.

Jenny noticed that Enya seemed to ignore her greeting completely. Okay, so she seemed to better than what she had in mind but....she was still pretty rude. Must be the kind of person who doesn't like to talk much, but Jenny was like that too, and she didn't try to ignore people completely (unless it was someone she strongly disliked).

When Enya finally stood up and told the owl to come over, Jenny was amazed at how easy it seemed compared to when Louisa was struggling with the bird. Then she noticed something. Enya gave a nod to her! Well, for a rude person, it's great that she acknowledges Jenny's existence at least. Jenny quickly gave a nod back to Enya.

He was sending letters as well. "For your family?" she asked, eying the owl which just left.

The boy was probably letting them know about the Tournament? Most likely, or not, these kids in Hogwarts seem to send plenty of letters for no particular reason. Strange.

"Fine" she said, with a smile on her face. Now, which owl? Which one can go through the coldest skies. A smirk grew on her face as he asked a question, "For every task, Fletcher, not just the first one" there was a nod somewhere in there before she spotted a black owl that will most likely do the trick.

"Have you?" she asked, eyebrow slightly raised, "Been practicing any spells, or potions, or just plain exercise?" because getting up here was quite some exercise. And one of the three two letters was safely tightened to the owl, before letting it go.

She then spotted a gray one. Huge one. That one will go farther north. "I vonder, is Fletcher your first or last name?" she asked, tilting her head to one side, the now-worn-loose dark red hair cascading to that one side.

Because she paid little attention to the Goblet of Fire after her name was said.

Sorry for the late... and this totally fails XD
 

Louisa was still hopping and ordering the owl to come down angrily... literally angry at the little bird. Soon, Enya moved herself and helped Louisa who clapped excitedly, "That was awesome! You treat them naturally Enya!" Then Louisa stroked the owl asking her to send the letter to her mother.

Few seconds passed before the owl obeyed the girl and flew away. "Let's hope mom doesn't freak out." She mumbled before turning back to her friends. Uh Oh. Enya was acting kind of 'coldly' to Jenny. Typical.

Louisa smiled 'too' widely to Jenny, "So, Jenny this is Enya. Enya this is Jenny. Enya's a second year and Jenny's a first year like me." She giggled nervously trying to smooth the atmosphere a bit.

"So, Jenny to whom did you send your letter?" It was the stupidest question Louisa could come up with but she really needed to start a conversation.

Fail!
 

After she had got the Owl to obey, Enya had moved to the side of the room and watched the two girl's. She really didn't want to be here, but really had no choice. Sigh. She ignored all of Louisa's words. Duhh course she was good with bird's, she owned one. She shook her head.

Looking up when she was introduced, she nodded her head again, showing no smile or anything. She leant back, best get all this over with. She thought as she looked over at the girl's again. "Hello" She said quitely.

To Aiden
 

Sadie had to hike all of the way from the low Slytherin icky dungeons ALLLL the way up to the owlery. That was something not person should ever attempt when they're wearing six inch heels. Her feet were aching when she got to the top and she had to catch her breath before continuing inside. Phew. That was her exercise for the day. She fixed her hair which was braided to the side and carefully folded the pink piece of paper in her hand. It was marked to here grandparent's who lived in Texas right now.

Her mum was making her write to them. At least mam-ma bought her pretty things and gramps liked to ride out in the wild west with her. Speaking of west she forgot she was going to California over Christmas break at some point. YAY! She got to see the Cali boys all over again.

Aiden trekked on up to the owlery. It wasn't far from the common room - his common room, that is - but he had come from the Great Hall, so by this point he was bored of moving staircases and creepy paintings; he just wanted to send this letter to Pat and be done with it. He found his good old buddy Archimedes and gave him the envelope. "To Patrick Dubois, buddy." He gave him a pat or two on the ruffled-up owl's back before the bird flew off out of sight.



Just after Archimedes flew on out, he heard someone approaching from behind. Aha, Sadie. "Hey, Sadie." His eyes lowered to her shoes. Heh. If she walked up all those steps in those, this girl was crazy.

6,000 post!!!!! *dances* You're lucky!
 

Sadie was trying to find the perfect owl to use when suddenly she heard a voice behind her and stumbled slightly in her very high heels. Whoa. She had to catch her balance whilst turning around to see who her caller was. "Oh..hi Aiden," she said with a small smile. She looked to see his owl fly off and could only assume what the letter may be.

"Do you have any preference on one of these owls who won't bite and can fly a distance?" she asked him. Like over the sea distance. Actually one of these messenger owls would carry it to a post office in some muggle place. Then it would reach her grandparent's.

Adam walked into the Owlery and got out a piece of parchment. He waited for Kurumi before starting. They were gonna brainstorm how to talk to this Alex person without revealing too much or putting Adam nor his family or friends in danger. He flicked his feather up and down, out of pure boredom...What was he even gonna write about....

Whoaa, 6,000! xD
 

Aiden returned the smile, then averted his eyes back to the owls. Oh. He didn't really use any of the other owls, seeing as his seemed to do the job just fine. Maybe a little slower than most owls because his was a spaz, but yeah. "Sorry, I don't have a clue." He gave an apologetic shrug. He turned to face the birds, then gestured to some gray one to his left. "That guy looks all fast and intense, though. I'd go with him." He looked back to Sadie when the owl starting staring at him for too long. Creepy..

Kurumi approached the Owlery with her letter to her family in hand. She had promised to write after she had been sorted, but in all the excitment that had been going on...had failed to do so. Her mother was probably worried sick and she was surprised a flock of owls had not already come carrying letters. At least her father was calmer - he knew how quickly one could forget the time once you got involved in Hogwarts life. She saw Adam and waved. "Hey, sorry I took so long," she said jogging to his side. "I had to finish writing my letter to my family."

Okay, the second letter was going to be off....soonish. This owl was rather hyper, which made it difficult for her to make sure the letter was safely tied.

Danika laughed, without looking at the Champion. Just the exercise? "Feel free to indulge in procrastination and never practice" she said, eyes on the boy now, and a little wink. It worked to their advantage if he never practiced, unless he was naturally talented. Then again, they were all naturally talented.

What? Danika straightened herself, apparently the owl was now becoming even more difficult.

Her head tilted towards the boy, but her eyes were on the owl. "I say last, vecause 'Fletcher' as a first name is odd, then again, I think it vould ve an interesting name to have" given the fact that her own name was quite common in her country.

She eyed him for a moment, deciding to let the owl grow accustomed to the fact that it will be sending a letter far away from Hogwarts. "Vhat is your first?"

"Oh it's alright...What'd you write about Hogwarts living..?"Adam guessed hugging her tightly. "Ready to brainstorm ideas to write about for Alex?"He asked her. "Did your family ask you to write to them every week or something- to keep them updated."Adam thought. Most parents wanted to know the play by play of their childrens life, even though children were very private...

Kurumis hair starting turning rose pink again. She really needed to do research on this in the library...or maybe talk with the Transfiguration professor. "My mother would probably like it if I wrote every day," she laughed. Her mother worried about her more than she did her brothers. "My father understands how much one can forget about the outside world once in Hogwarts, so he told me he wouldn't be offended if I hardly wrote at all." She laughed as she rememered the pep-talk her father had given her before she went to Platform 9 3/4. "I mentioned you, of course, and said how you became my first friend. I already mentioned you after we met in the robes shop though. I mentioned how amazing classes are. Talked about DADA a good bit and how my robes are still covered in paint..." She stopped herself. Adam probably wasnt able to share all this with his parents. "Anyway, what should we - I mean you - write to Alex? I think we, I mean you, need some more answers...but without offending him." Kurumi had to admit, she was pretty curious about this person. "Would it be too weird to ask outright if they were a boy or a girl?"

Cass entered the owlery with a roll of stationary parchment and her pot of green ink. It was cold up here, and for once, Cass wished she had decided to wear leggings under the green skirt that she had put on instead of her uniform. But, she was already here, so going back to the common room would be counterproductive. She placed her things on a windowsill and sang softly as she waited for her own to recognize the song. As usual towards the end of her song her owl, Cygnus, came swooping towards her arm.

"Hey there darling..." Cass said as she ran her hands over Cygnus' black feathers. "I want you to deliver something for me...alright?"

The owl merely hooted in response as she placed her (the owl) on a perch while she wrote her letter.

Then she fastened the letter to Cgynus' leg with her customary green ribbon with the Prewett family seal. "Go on, take it home."

Then she watched as the owl flew off and she sighed.

Adam chuckled quietly under his breath as Kurumi kep saying we instead of Adam names."Yeah guy or girl question could be a good start, and maybe how old, so we have a better idea of what we are dealing with...You don't think this person will explain right off the bat how he I mean she or both might know me and my parents?"He wondered out loud, as he began thinking up sentences to right down, all conjured up in his mind.

Kurumi wrinkled her brow a little as she thought. "Well, this person doesn't want you to ask about their last name, so I don't think they are going to tell you exactly how they know you or your family," she said as she thought aloud. If she were said mysterious person, she probably would't reveal that information. "What I am wondering is why they are choosing now to write to you? Do you think it has something to do with you going to Hogwarts?"
