Rumors and Wolves PV Closed

Michael did not get mail a lot, mostly he watched the owls come and deliver things to the others. One boy had a habit of getting food in the mornings from the owls, always in tins. Another would get what seemed to be strips of paper, and he always answered there and then.

Michael was watching everything when one owl, a small barn owl most likely Hogwarts Owned, flew to him. At first it refused to show him the letter tied to it's skinny leg, but one piece of meat later and the note was in his hands.

The boy did not even get a chance to read it before the owl decided it wanted another treat, nibbling at Michael's skinny fingers, so Michael sighed and handed it another piece of chicken, the bird ripping pieces off as the Slytherin boy read the note.

The handwriting was unfamiliar, making Michael on edge for a moment, for unknown reasons. Michael bite his lip as he read the letter, before tearing the bottom half of the parchment paper off to answer the boy back.

Hi Michael,
I heard some rumors around the school. Wondering if you are free to have a chat. If yes, let's plan for lunch in the Great Hall.
Cheers,
Cade


Dear Cade,
Of course, i can see you there today if you like, I'd be happy to talk about any rumors you have questions about.
-Michael

Hours later, as the day neared lunch time, Michael walked to the Great Hall looking for Cade as he did. The note was tucked into his pocket, he hoped the owl actually found the boy, as he didn't seem too happy when Michael sent him out without giving him another strip of meat as payment.

He signed, waiting on Cade.
