Darcy sighed as she trudged up the staircase to the Owlery, a bundle of letters clutched in her hand. If her parents ran this place, there would be elevators everywhere instead of these ancient, godforsaken stairs.
The mid-June day had dawned sunny but cooler than usual, making the morning air crisp and clean. The candles lining the stairwell flickered in a slight breeze, giving the whole place a rather eerie vibe. Darcy shivered, though she wasn't afraid or anything, that would be ridiculous. Still, she was glad when she reached the top and was greeted with bright sunlight.
She was the only one at the Owlery at the moment. Her high-top sneakers echoed on the stones paving the roof, and the coo of owls were everywhere. Darcy flipped her sheet of brown hair over her shoulders and marched over to Penelope, her family's owl. She was, of course, a beautiful and majestic creature, with a coat of dove-grey feathers and large knowing eyes. Darcy stroked Penelope lightly and sent her off toward the Adair Estate, her home, with the letters. She stood there a moment longer, watching the owl soar into the sky, getting smaller and smaller until she disappeared from view. It was quite a lovely sight, really. Calming.
Darcy rested her elbows on the stone railing, until she realized that ew, there was dried bird . . . excrements . . . dotting it. Gross. Someone needed to clean this place better. She shook her hands, as if to banish the deeply disturbing idea that stuff like that had ever touched them, lifted her chin, and marched back toward the staircase. Right as someone else was coming up.

Interacting with @Darcy Adair
Vivian was walking with a letter in her left hand she is left-handed towards the owlery to send her first letter to her mother. It was slightly confusing for her to find the places in Hogwarts but somehow managed to find owlery with the help of her new friends here. It was also quite challenging for her to reach the destination because of the stairs there but she hoped that she will get used to it within some days.

She hoped she will get used to all the magic stuff, magical creatures and weird stuff over there. All she could do was hope, it was all new to her and she started to think more about her father after she entered Hogwarts. She used to think about her father very rarely when she was with her mother but here... she doesn’t know what made her think more about him. Maybe, she still did not get used to this atmosphere, which made her think about various stuff and get disturbed.

When she entered the owlery she noticed a girl standing there alone. She observed the girl, she had long brown hair and was shorter than Vivian. They both were in eye contact for few seconds and suddenly recognised her, she remembered seeing her in the great hall getting sorting into a house called sly...syl..., she didn’t remember.

Though Vivian is a shy person she thought it would be rude to avoid her and pretend like she didn’t notice her. “Uh, Hi” she said with a nervous look as she thought that the girl did not have a friendly look. Vivian assumed that the other girl is a first-year student as well “ So, Are you a first year too?” said Vivian with the same nervousness.

Darcy frowned at the blonde girl. Who was she and why was she talking to her? Darcy shifted and put on hand on her hip, tossing back her long brown hair. The girl looked nervous, which, honestly, she should be. Darcy was not someone to be trifled with. She narrowed her hazel eyes. "I am a first year, as a matter of fact," she finally said in a clipped tone. A cool breeze ruffled her hair slightly, and Darcy smoothed it back in place. It was hard work having nice hair. Unfortunately, most people weren't willing to put in the time to make theirs not look like a rat's nest.
Because it was obvious that the girl wasn't going anywhere anytime soon, Darcy decided to humor her and make conversation. "My name is Darcy Adair. I'm a Slytherin, of course. I am guessing that you," she looked the girl up and down disapprovingly, "Are not. Let me guess. You're a Hufflepuff?" she asked, sneering slightly. She could tell just by looking at this girl that she was in the 'loyal' house. Poor thing. Darcy smirked and jutted her hip out, waiting for a response. How would this girl react? Some might say Darcy was being mean, but that's now how she saw it. She was reminding this girl of her place, which was a truly kind and noble thing to to. Really, Darcy was doing her an immense favor.

It was true, she was right, the girl did not have a friendly look, rather it was rude. Vivian is a person who is easily frightened and now she is so anxious, already regretting talking to her. But she didn’t do anything? Why did she have this expression on her face? All she said was hi and asked whether she is a first-year and nothing else. Was anything wrong with what she said? She didn’t think so, but she smiled at the girl nervously showing her dimples on her cheeks, but it didn’t reach her eyes, how would it?

Looking at the girl’s hand on her hips, she felt all at sea. Why does she look like she wants to fight? It is owlery... right? A place to send letters, not a place to fight. Vivian looked around the place and was sure it is owlery as she could see owls there. The girl started to talk, as a matter of fact...? Vivian found it rude, she was still smiling at her but a fake smile with some amount of nervousness, just for a sake that she is new to all this and did not want to make enemies this soon. “G-Good to know” she replied with the same nervousness, she tried not to show it but couldn’t her nervousness.

The girl started to make a conversation, but why? Did she want to fight with her? She was not going to fight, or at least she was not in a mood to fight, she just came here to send a letter to her mother. She introduced herself as Darcy Adair, unlike before, she is not going to repeat this name, she didn’t care to know her name, she was rude and Vivian didn’t like it, so her name doesn’t matter to her, no care if she forgets it. What’s with the disapproving look when she said Hufflepuff? What’s wrong with it? She didn’t ask her and did not want to ask her, she just gritted her teeth. Taking a long breath to calm herself before continuing, “Hi Darcy, I am Vivian Fletcher and you’re right, I am a Hufflepuff.” said patiently and slowly to her, not wanting to get angry or nervous. “And it is nice meeting you” no, it isn’t. Just for the sake of being kind , she said it but was no longer smiling.
