╚══════ ∘◦ ❈ ◦∘ ═══════╝
Athena walked into the owlery clutching a stack of paper in her hands. Before walking in she peeked around to make sure no one saw her. She was embarrassed she didn’t have enough money to buy her own owl and didn’t want to resort to the school owls. But alas, her parents would not allow her to go without sending a letter. After checking the owlery for anyone else Athena walked inside and looked for an owl to use. There wasn’t many owls on the perches, and most of them were to high for Athena to reach. She looked around and only saw one within her reach. She walked towards it and handed the letters to the mouse brown owl.
“I need you to take this to the McClenin household.”Athena looked at the bird and hoped it understood. She turned to leave but when she reached the doorway the bird hadn’t moved a talon.
“I need you to take those letters to the McClenin household,” she repeated from the doorway, more forcefully this time. The owl still didn’t move.
“C’mon!” Athena cried, “just take it to my families house!”
Athena waited and when the bird didn’t move she took her letters back, mumbling, “Stupid bird.” as she exited the owlery.
“I guess my letters will have to wait for another day.”

A Stubborn Owl
A girl, wiry and slightly shorter than average with flailing, long crimson hair, bounds up the stairs two at a time, nearly bowling over Athena leaving the former's destination. The redhead's clamorous stomping probably saved them both from a fall sure to be painful on the ancient stone steps. "Ahh! Whoa there lass!" She exclaims with wide, green eyes while holding a hand out to brace her victim while the other elbows the wall, a brace of other victims upheld by tails invalidating her other hand. Her chestnut wand flies free and clatters around indiscriminately, going unnoticed in the commotion.
Skraele had been on her way up during a little free time. She hadn't made but a handful of friends, dead mice excluded, so far and decided right now was the best time to get acquainted with the best friends one could make, adorable critters. Thus, she'd spent a couple hours at the hard work of rat-catching, practically bare-handed evidenced by a number of bites on both hands. Befriending the mice themselves instead of their predators hadn't occurred to her, so intent was she on going up to the owlery.
Her school robes proudly display her house crest and stitched feathers, done in haste, representing Hufflepuffian colors, though the hem might do well with a cleaning. Apparently she's already developed a knack for boisterously running around in them.

it is always aspiring and going beyond its strength.~±~

A Stubborn Owl
“Oh-sorry. I didn’t see you there.” Athena hadn’t even left the room before someone had spotted her. She carefully disguised the stack of letters that she had yet to send behind in the fold of her yellow and black hufflepuff robes and looked at the girl. Her fiery red hair drew the attention to her face and Athena immediately recognized her from sorting. Her hufflepuff robes classified her as friend rather than foe. She hoped she would find a friend in this person, for she hadn’t made many friends in her own house. “I’m Athena,” She said, “Athena McClenin.”
Athena looked at the girl again and noticed that she didn’t have a stack of letters. Athena tried to disguise her confusion but a look slipped out. She was still puzzling over the girls whereabouts when the stack of letters slipped out of her hands.
“Oh no-” Athena bend down to collect the various letters that had fallen and scooped them into a sloppy mess in her arms.
“You…weren’t supposed to see these…” Athena’s cheeks reddened in embarrassment as she realized how bad that sounded.
“I mean like-it’s nothing bed just-embarrassing.” Athena lowered her eyes in shame and stepped to the side of the other girl.
