Charlie walked up the long staircase to the owlery. He had written a not for his parents and was planning on using a school owl to send it. He finallyreached the top of the staircase, and was reliced that it was over.
Charlie quickly tied the letter to the owl's foot and sent it off.
Before the boy went back down he looked out the window, the sun had almost set. By the time he got back down it would be dinner. So he started toward the stairs. But before he noticed another person in the owlery.

Laney had just sent an owl off carrying a letter for her mother. The letter was intended for both her mother and step-father, but only addressed to Vera. If her mother thought it was worth sharing with Daniel, she would and Carolanne knew that.
She was watching the owl fly away when she heard another student find their way into the owlry. She glance towards him and raised an eyebrow in his direction. She had never seen another student use a school owl, they usually had their own or a an owl that had been handed down from previous siblings. In Laney's case, she used a school owl so her step-dad wouldn't know about Aphrodite, Ashton's owl.
Before he left, Carolanne cleared her throat, "You do realize that the school owls are much slower, right? They're older so it usually takes longer for the reciepiant to get their letter," she told him. It was the truth after all. The school didn't get any new owls unless a few died off and from her understanding, it had been a while since the last one died.

Charlie looked at the girl, after she had spoken. He raised an eyebrow at her. "Oh well hello to you too, Madam!" he said, in quite a voice that showed he was making fun of her, while bowing kindly toward her, clearly also kiding. When he came up from bowing he had a huge grin on his face.
"Yes, I do know it takes longer, but since I have a cat, and no owl, it seems I cannot use my own!" Charlie said looking around at all the other owls, that were clearly not his know.
"I'm Charlie," he said soon after, extending a hand to shake,"Sixth year, and Gryffindor. How do you do?"

Carolanne couldn't help but grin at his childishness. What was it with guys these days? She cleared her throat, "Actually, I believe it's Madmoiselle," she said to him, her french accent thick to the hearing. Sighing, she stood up and shook his hand, "Laney. Fifth year Ravenclaw, and I'm doing pretty good," she responded. "I wasn't trying to be rude back there, I was just making sure you knew," she said as she shrugged one shoulder.

Charlie laughed,"Well who knows you always could have been a Madam!" He said joking around still.
"Nice to meet you Lanely!" he said grinning still. "What've you been doing here in this wonderful, terd filled owlrey?" he asked out of friendliness, but of course still joking.
Charlie laughed again,"I knew you weren't being rude, I just like to make people laugh, and I only made you grin!" He said with a spin, a cross of the arms and a big," Hmph!" type of sigh.

Laney smiled, "I am here for the same reason you are. Using a school owl to send out a letter," she said placing a firm hand on her side. Laney shook her head, "There's only two guys I know that can make me laugh, and you, my friend, are not one of them," she said with a smirk before turning it into a grin, "Well, not yet," she said furrowing her brow. "For some reason, you have to know me very well to make me laugh," she said with a cheesy grin.

Charlie turned back around,"I see but as you say there slower, why use a slower owl, this is what Charlie wonders Laney!" he said rasing an eyebrow,"And, I can get to know people very well, and it's not odd, many people have that, just to tell you Laney!"
"Well I hear that there is food in the great hall every night I should be going if I don't want to end up in the kitchen all night!" Charlie said walking out slowly, hoping Laney would stop him somehow and call him back to talk more.

Laney crossed her arms across her chest, "Because if I send my brother's owl, our dad would most likely kill her, that's why. He doesn't like animals," she said with a small glare in his direction. She didn't mean any harm, just figured it was obvious that she didn't have an owl of her own. Carolanne stuck her tongue out at Charlie, "I know that," she simply said.
As he walked away she raised an eyebrow, "That's it?" she called after him, "You're just going to leave with an unfinished conversation?" she said folding her arms, "Typical guy you are," she yelled after him, hoping the slight insult would be enough to stop him. The truth was, Laney didn't have very many friends, just Ashton, Fay and her boyfriend, Cristian. She didn't want to lose an opportunity on gaining another friend.

"Well, if you're father was going to kill it I'm sure I could have figured, he didn't like animals Laney!" he laughed.
"I know that!" Laney said to him, sticking her tounge out but at the same time Charlie started blowing rasberries at her.
Charlie grinned before turning back around. "I asure you I'm not like most guys!" he walked toward Laney again.

Laney raised an eyebrow at him and shook her head. This guy was trying too hard to make her laugh. With a sigh she rolled her eyes, "I only meant to explain it better," she said referring to her step-dad.
When Charlie had turned around and started walking towards her, Carolanne backed up into a crate. Turning around, she put a hand on it before turing back around and facing Charlie, "Are you sure of that?" she asked him with a smirk before sitting down on the crate. Laney gave another sigh, "So, Charlie, sixth year Gryffindor. Tell me about yourself," she said crossing her legs as if in an interview.

Charlie laughed. "Oh so know were cheating!" He said,"You have to get to know me, by hanging around with me! But I can tell you this much My name is Charlie Fere, my favourite colour is purple, ask me why if you'd like, and I'm usually good at making people laugh!" he replied,"Know tell me about you, Ms. Laney!"
he quickly found something to sit on, and pulled it over in front of where Laney was sitting.

Laney smiled at Charlie. He was rather different; not the different she was attracted to but the kind of different that stuck out. She placed her finger on her bottom lip in thought then smiled, "I'll only tell you this for now. My name is Carolanne McLane. My favorite color is pink, and not the baby pink that everyone loves but hot pink. The one color that makes you look twice," she said with a grin, "I on the other hand, could care less about making people laugh but I enjoy making them think twice about me," she said tapping her foot in mid air.
Laney looked at him again, "Ok then, why is your favorite color purple, Mr. Fere?" she asked him.

Charlie smiled. "Hot pink, eh?" he asked, although it wasn't meant was a question.
"Why is it purple?' he re-asked like he seemed to almost always do when asked a question,"It isn't too girly like pink, or a yellow-ey colour, but it's still bold and out there, and it's differnt than I colour most guys would pick...just like I'm differnt from most guys...so purple is my favourite colour because it's...me!"
"Still think I'm like most guys...?" he asked.

Laney laughed at his explanation. Finally, he made her laugh but not for anything he said. It was more of what she thought. She stuck her tongue out at him, "Naw, I just think you're gay now," she said with a laugh. She was only kidding but he did remind her a little of her brother and her brother was gay.

Charlie was about to point and tell Laney he made her laugh but before he could she had said something that made him laugh. "I am not gay, I can tell you that!" Charlie said still laughing."But, still what I said put the thoght into you're mind so to me it counts!" He said with a large grin, that seemed almost permenate know, from how many times he had grinned over the few years.
"But I've learned something else about you, and that is because we are hanging out, although it is in a terd filled room!" he said to her,"I have a brother and a sister, it's Tegan's first year at Hogwarts. And then there is Jackson..."
