Courtney woke up early. Well, she really wasn't sure if she'd woke up early or just never gotten to sleep. After she ran around the Hogwarts ground for a while, she crept back into her common room and pulled out some parchment and a quill. Not wanting to wake anyone up or to be caught either, she re-exited the common room and snuck up to the Owlery, avoiding Peeves, Mrs. Norris, and Filch.
She entered the Owlery, and wasn't really sure why this place always made her so lonely. Probably because it was only half full, most owls still out hunting...the sun had barely risen, and the half that were there were already fast asleep. Her snowy owl, Shai flew down immediately. Courtney smiled "Hey Shai" She said quietly. "I've got a letter for you to take for me" She said, sitting down amid the rat skeletons. She pulled out her parchment and started writing. This morning she wrote to the youngest of her four brothers, Chris. Ever since her parents had kicked her out of her house, her brothers were all she had left. She smiled at the thought of the necklace Chris had sent her last week. Gorgeous, she thought. She finished her long letter and tied it to Shai's leg and watched as she flew away. "At least that would give me some nice mail soon" Courtney thought sadly, her mind traveling back to her dorm, where a pile of nasty letters from her parents sat. She leaned out the window and furiously wiped some tears from her eyes.

Michelle woke up early as usual on this wonderful morning it was only 5:30 and she felt refreshed. She was just mulling over her dreams when she hurd a small taping on the window she sat up and looked out to see her Eagle Owl Ortiz taping on the window pane with his beak. She opend the window and stuck out her arm for him to cling to and pulled him in the window. She Huged him till he made a slight squaking noise then took the note from around his leg. She studied the handwritteing and the seal on the outside wondering who it could be. She thought and thought and finnally gave up and slid her finger threw the seal to open it. She skimmed the letter to see who it was from befor reading it. She saw at the bottom of the partchment in the corner the name Alex scribbled. Thinking that this note would be a good one she began to read.
When she got to the end their were tears in her eyes. Her whole life seemed to be crashing around her ears. Ortiz must have noticed becaues he niped her loveingly and hooed softly. Michelle stroked him unnoticeing. She then picked him up and a quill and walked off to the Owlry to scribble a letter to Alex. Michelle walked up into the empty Owlry. There was a sign that another person had been there because som bones were crushed by the window. Uncareing Michelle began to write.
As soon as she was done Michelle tied it to Ortiz's leg and kissed him "I'm sorry you dont get to rest but maybe Alex will let you stay with her a while" she said worriedly "I love you Ortiz" she cooed as she brought him to the window and watched him fly off tears spilling from her eyes.

Courtney vaugley heard someone enter the Owlery a few minutes ago, but those thoughts, the thoughts of the present, and what was here at Hogwarts were far from her mind. As she looked out one of the obscure windows of the Owlery, tears still streaming down her face, she looked and jumped slightly as she saw a Thestral jump out of the Forbidden Forest. Just another reminder. Everything in her life was horrible, and it didn't seem like it would ever be any better. She stared out the window for quite some time longer, thinking over her life. Her parents...well...her mother and father. She didn't dare think of them as anything more familiar...like parents. Her brothers were the only source of comfort she actually had, but her mother and father had to keep sending her those letters...keep sending her those reminders. Sure, she did her best to keep on the happy face in front of everyone, but there were times where she just couldn't take it. She leaned out the window and looked at the ground far below.
She leaned out farther and farther. It was like a game to her. She really didn't care. Not really. Oh, sure, in some distant place in her mind, she knew she shouldn't be doing this...it would just..make things easier.
When she heard another girl talk, Courtney jumped and grabbed tightly onto the window, being jolted back to sanity. She let out a faint shocked "Oh" And turned quickly around, startled to realize that there actually was someone there. "I'm sorry" She said anxiously. "I didn't mean to umm..interrupt" She said

Michelle jumped at the sound of another voice. "your not interupting anything" Michelle said with a sniff. "I should be appoligizing to you you were here first" Michelle said wipeing her eyes. She looked out into the distance watching the sun rise higher in the sky. "i'll just leave. I have to go pack to go home anyway" Michelle said walking to the door.

Courtney looked between the two girls and didn't know what to say. "Uh, it's fine, you don't really have to leave" She said. Then she turned and looked out the window again, where she saw another Thestral fly up from the forest and she went back to staring out over it

Courtney's eyes snapped away from the forrest just as Michelle ran out of the owlery. She ran to the door and yelled down the stairway "Michelle, what's wrong? What happened?" She said anxiously.
