The Owlery
Jenna walked up the steps and found her owl Chirp. She liked to spend time with himnwhen she was bored for he listed to her go on. "I gott a letter for you today." she cooed in a sweet voice. She pulld out a small leter adressed to her parents and a piece of twine. The little bird stuck out his leg and she carefully wrapped the little, folded sheet to the birds leg. "This one is to home." she said walking over to the little window with Chirp on her arm. "Be back soon!" she said sending her bird off, watching until it disapeared.
Lucy raced into the owlery, carrying a newly opened letter. It said,"My dear Lucy,
I will be coming as soon as you write to me. I've set up some lodgings not far from Hogwarts.
I love you,
Caz"
Lucy had already made a hurried reply and sent Fitzgerald to deliver it.

"To whom it may concern,
Meet me by the lake."
He double checked the letter. That was all? He didn't even know who sent it! He looked around again. Oh well. he thought. I guess I'll have to go to the lakeHe said. He patted Hawthorn on his head and trotted down toward the lake.
((If you want to be the one who sent it, you're free to go down to the lake! If no one does, I'll leave a strange wand there.))

((Sorry Chimera Girl I didn't know you had an owl Animagus too! Uh, I could change it if you like.))Juniper walked into the Owlery, looking down at her open palms, her splayed fingers. Human fingers. She hadn't been in her other form for weeks. She walked to a balcony, looking around to make sure no one else was there. One foot was on the balcony. Then the other. She looked down at the ground, smiling. "Charibee," she called, for her "pet" eagle owl, "Time to play..." Charibee shot out the window, missing her head by mere centimeters. At the same moment, Juniper jumped, changing into a barn owl in midair, and gliding after her friend towards the library.
Hanna walked into the Owlery quietly. She dropped off her white snowy owl Charm. "Be a good girl okay?" she asked bending her legs and asking her owl. Charm gave a small hoot as a reply. Hanna laughed. "Gotta go somewhere." she called off to Charm and left.

Juniper flew into the owlery, deadly silent. She nearly bowled into Swaroop, who seemed to be shouting like a lunatic. With a slightly surprised screech, she changed direction, soaring up and landing on a perch. A soft series of clicking sounds escaped her beak, and her friend/pet Charibee fluttered over and perched next to her.
"Uncle Sirius is about to be killed?" Juniper asked Charibee through a series of clicks. "I'm afraid, yes. And there's nothing we can do about it." Charibee replied, looking down.
Juniper hooted loudly in anger and swooped down from the perch. Screeching, she soared around the owlery, upsetting many and waking them from their slumbers, but she didn't care. She had to do something. "Of course there's a way!" Juniper screeched, landing on a perch on the opposite side of the room.
"I tried, June!" Charibee called in defense, flying over next to Juniper.
"You didn't try hard enough! He's going to die!" Juniper screeched, unable to be comforted. She dove off that perch and began soaring around the room again, trying to get away from Charibee.
Charibee dropped from her perch and tried following Juniper. "What was I supposed to do? I wish we could save him!" she argued now, getting angry.
Juniper hooted in frustration, and if owls could cry, Juniper was. "We will save him!" she cried, then soared out the window. She had thought she would go to Charibee for comfort, but obviously she wouldn't. She couldn't deal with this right now. In anger and frustration and grief, Juniper changed into human form, letting herself tumble through the air, before transforming back into an owl. She did this several times, her sobs and cries mixing with screeches and howls. Then she swooped into the Ravenclaw dormitory window, and left Charibee alone.
Owls flitted above, waiting for their owners to come bearing messages. Emma searched the perches of owls for her small, brown one. She had written a letter to her parents. She hadn't written in a while and hadn't heard from them recently either. She spotted her owl, Santiago, perched near the roof of the owlery. With a short whistle, Santiago dived of his perch, landing gently on Emma's shoulder. Smiling, Emma tied her letter o his leg, a process which was slightly difficult due to the fact that he was hopping from foot to foot with excitement. "Hold still," she said.
Mod
Oh, God.
She froze when she reached the top. Would she have to check all the letter!? That would take some time! Perhaps she'd wait for something to ahppen... Not like she could do anything without knowing what she was doing. Plus someone was probably watching her.

A dark purple Fwooper soared above her head to land gracefully in a beam. It opened its sharp beak and started to sing a low, melodic song.
Mod
Gemeiac stayed where she stood. "What the?" She wondered what a Fwooper was doing here."Don't tell me I have to decipher somehing..."
((O_O Fwoopers look a bit strange...))
Mod
It continued to sing its song and stared at Gemeiac with latge eyes.
Mod
Gemeiac struggled to remember if it was dangerous. Then she widened her eyes. "O-Oh, God!" she covered her ears with her mittens. She shut her eyes, and blocked the Fwooper out comepltly. "Stupid, bird, go away!" she said without opening her eyes.

Gemeiac opened her eyes, but didn't stop covering her ears.My wand! she thought. But like she could cast a spell without flicking her hand... She reached inside her pocket. Then raised her wand. "Stupefy!" she shouted. Then she put her wand away, and retunred to covering her ears.

The dragon swerves away from the spell and shoots towards her, maw open wide and tongues of flame licking the air.

(Exactly. That's whys he's ticked.
And sorry for the late reply. This group really is huge...)
Gemeiac cursed under her breathand swerved out of the way, "Exactly WHY are they putting me in the line to the Grim Reaper!?" she rolled her eyes, and grabbed the wall of the owlery, and pulled herself inside. The owls looked down at her, "Oh, God... do they WANT these birds to all die?"
Jasper walked in, his owl Whiner perched on his shoulder. He headed for a corner and pulled his letter from his pocket. He looked at it once before letting Whiner take it in his beak and fly away with it. Jasper wanted to tell his little brother he was doing fine in his school. He wanted to let his grandfather know he was learning how to fight very well. And he wanted his father to know, that his grades were some of the best.
After a while, Jasper turned and headed the way he had come from. He headed for the library instead of the Hufflepuff common room.
Ella walked into the owlrey, carrying a bag from Zonko's joke shop, she carefully removed the teacup and placed it in an unmarked bag with a letter taped to it. She beckoned down one of the school barn owls with a biscuit from the kitchen, and tied her package to it. She smiled "bring this to dad for me, okay? But don't stick around, he won't be too happy when he drinks from the cup" she laughed, he had no clue what was coming.
Amy rushed in to the owlery. "COme here, come on." she said encourgingly to a nearby school owl. It flew down to her and stuck out it's leg. She tied the letter, and said, "I need you to deliver that one fast, okay?" she said. It hooted and flew out the window.
It was early in the morning, and the leaves were beginning to turn, and the rancid smell it gave off make Ammora want to puke. However, she remained the composed girl she'd been her whole life and walked silently up the steps to the owlery. She called her owl, Montague to her side and tied a quickly-written note to her mother to his leg. She told him where to go and after giving the blond girl what the owl perceived as an affectionate nip, he flew off.
Jennifer slowly steps up the stairs to send a letter to her parents who where in new York when she walked in her grey owl flew down so she could attach the letter to his leg told him where to go and he flew off ready to get to were his owners letter was going
Sin walked lazily up the steps, silently flitting up to feed his own, Tandem, and Arose's owl, Pain. All of the name's that surrounded them were concepts. He quickly scanned the area, seeing id anyone was around as he started towards his large Eurasian Eagle Owl, and his sister's small Saw-whet owl.
((poop, I forgot I was here.)) Amy watched the owls but then Sin came in. She pretends not to notice him.
Sin, never one to start a conversation, let him eyes linger on each in the room for merely a moment before turning back to his work. It wasn't so much that he was ignoring them, or uninterested, than it was that it would be stupid not to survey who was here, and that no one seemed to be of any help.
Amy stroked an owl who looked rather lonely. You could tell it hadn't. message for a while.
Again his eyes flitted around, never in one place for long. Needing to write a letter, but having no quill, Sin turned to Amy. "Excuse me," he said softly, politely. "Would you happen to have a quill?"
"Thank you," he replied absently, eyes clouding over, as it scratched across his parchment, pouring words.
Amy nodded. For some reason, she couldn't come up with words. This was strange for her.
The latter ended at exactly 10 pages long. "I'm sorry, you've had to wait for me," Sin apologized, though the entire ordeal of his writing could not have been more than five minutes.
"No, its fine,.I have nothing better to do." She said, flashing him a quick smile.
Sin did not smile in return. Instead, he nodded and handed her back her quill, barely brushing his hand against hers.
"Thank you." she said. Shw shoved it in her pocket.
Another nod. He turned and fondly pet his large owl, which nuzzled against his hand and held out his leg. Taking a long, green and black ribbon from his pocket, Sin tied up the note.
Amy watched him for a minute before turning again to the owl on her arm. She stroked him and he booted.
Tandem let out a low hoo what Sin was done, and the boy replied, "Yes, come back as soon as possible." Another hoo. "I love you, as well."
She let Fitzgerald go and watched him fly away to his destination. After she could see him no longer, the auburn haired girl left.
