Accidentally finding @Simon Kincaid

The morning before class, the twelve year old should be in the great hall catching up with friends and eating breakfast however the boy wanted some time alone with his thoughts before heading off to class so he made a detour to the owlery where he knew no one else was because of all the other mornings he went there to be alone however that morning wasn't going to be the same Henry was about to find out.

As the second year came up from the eerie darkness and moist area known as the dungeons where his common room sat and turned away from the great hall already armed with a shiny red apple for his breakfast he walked through the castle and out on the grounds where he took in a fresh of breath air in the bright clear sky before choosing to enter the overly from the outside as he climbed the stairs up ready to eat his the red apple still in his hand.

The boy shifted the messager type bag on his shoulder and pulled at his slytherin robe which was unbuckled before stepping into the owlery and finding another.

Henry was taken back as he looked around and noticed there was only the boy no friends with him and he didn't appear to be sending a letter so he had to wonder why this boy was here who from his robes was a hufflepuff.

Not going to be rude, Henry gave a small smile before saying " hello," the boy then waved to him sort of before going across the room to the window and leaning his back on it as he looked toward the boy again whom Henry thought might have been lost as he spoke " sending a letter?"

Sending a letter with @Simon Kincaid

Henry listened to the boy talk about how another in hufflepuff would usually send hid letters but today he had to so Henry just nodded and looked in his eyes as a way to say that he was listening to him still apple in his hand.

Henry then heard his concerns about sending a letter and how he couldn't find the drop box which Henry guessed was how muggles sent letters since he didn't know what it was as he dropped his apple gently and neatly in his messager type bag before running a hand through his hair to rid his nerves as he spoke "so stamps are sort of unnecessary here and there is no uh drop box? What is a drop box? Instead we have the owlery because we use the owls to send letters, some students have their own while others use school owls. Here-"

Henry scanned around the owlery and maybe because he was a werewolf but whatever the reason found the owl resting a few feet up and tucked in a corner away from them. The owl was a small but rather plain grey owl that Henry normally used to send his own letters but wad a Hogwarts owl as he placed his fingers in his mouth and whistled, he couldn't whistle another way as the owl opened his eyes and flew down before handing on the table between him and the other boy.

Henry then smiled toward the boy as he held out his hand with a smile " I could tie it around his leg if you want?"

Helping send a letter with @Simon Kincaid

Henry wood take the letter from the boy and smile a bit as he tied it around the owls right leg that he held out and spoke " you tell the owl who and where you are sending you letter and then they deliver," checking to make sure the letter was secure before turning to the boy and saying " yep, it's faster than muggle mail but slower then muggle technology still it's better than nothing. Just tell him where and who he's delivering it to and then he'll go."

Henry would then wait for him to tell the owl where and who he needed to deliver the letter to and also for the owl to fly out of the owlery before turning to him and saying " his name is gray and he's one of the best school owls in my opinion. I use him for all of my letters," the second year would smile at him before taking out his apple and passing it to the boy as he spoke " if you been here for as long as you think then you need it more than me plus I can't really eat in the morning anyway," almost forgetting to say his name he quickly spoke " oh I'm Henry."

Talking with @Simon Kincaid

Henry nodded toward the boy with a smile before sliding the apple back into his messager type bag and looking back at the boy who now introduced himself as Simon Kincaid and made a comment about the owls that Henry had to laugh a bit to.

" It's nice to meet you Simon and yeah the owls particularly the school owls take high pride in their jobs here," Henry spoke as he looked around the owlery and at the owls that he occasionally used to send a letter since his brother owned a owl and Henry usually used her to send his replies to his brother.

Hearing his question about where he was from and probably because Henry was used to British being from godric hollow and Liverpool. The twelve year old finally heard that Simon's accent was also British as he spoke " yeah Hogwarts has a large Scottish population than anything really but yeah I'm British, liverpool to be exact. Your British to right?" Henry question before hearing his comment on Scotland that caused a chuckle from him as he spoke "I can't complain either, most of my friends are Scottish so."

" Uh no, I come to the owlery sometimes in the morning to think really," Henry spoke as he smiled toward the boy before asking him " are you a first year then not that it matters."

Talking with @Simon Kincaid

" Simon from South Kensington, London. Do you like it there?" Henry asked as he never been to the Kensington area of London although he has been to London because that just happened to be where Diagon alley was.

Hearing he was a first year and how he was getting used to the lack of technology allowed Henry to smiled toward him while questions suddenly popped up and spiraled around his head which he ignored which was quite difficult as he spoke " well if you ever need any other help then you can always find me Simon. I'm a second year so I don't know everything about Hogwarts but I do know lot since my brother was went here," he then couldn't help himself as he asked " technology? Has in fones.. uh phones? I heard about them but never used them, pureblood children don't really have a chance to use muggle technology uh.. would you mind telling me a bit about then Simon?"

Before the topic changed to why Henry was there ad the twelve year old looked around and wondered that himself especially since he loved the library and great lake which were two places that the boy was always at so then why was he there? A question he was about to answer as he spoke " I guess I like the quiet and view in the morning to think and I always loved animals so," Henry looked up at the owls around them before looking back toward Simon and speaking " any places you like to be to think then mate?"
