[ an owl, with a letter and a sunflower attached to its leg ] So I heard it was your birthday, Miss Juniel. I know you didn't like the rose I tried to give you when we first met, but maybe the sunflower will be more successful. Happy birthday. --Key. P.S. My favorite flower is the daylily, just in case you were wondering.
-detaching the sunflower from the owl's leg, she looks it over with a curious expression before picking up the letter it dropped as well, skimming it over and rolling her eyes but smiling in amusement in spite of herself- Ugh... him. -still, her mood is too good to be changed by her usual annoyance towards this Gryffindor, so after grabbing some blank parchment she scribbles a quick reply-
[ owl ] : Well, Mr. Key, since you extended such a kindness to me today I'll reply politely and thank you very much for the flower and birthday wishes. I will also commit to memory that you prefer daylilies, and I look forward to an opportunity in which I can use this information. Perhaps you have a birthday coming up as well? — Juniel
