Owlery????

Is the Owlery a tower in the castle or a freestanding tower on the grounds?

The world may never know. But at least here it's classified under Hallways and Such!


Serenity sat up here, writing a letter- it was, after all, her free period. She addressed it to an apartment in Amsterdam and sent it off, frowning at her owl when it shuffled forth slowly, eventually flying off towards the Netherlands- she just hoped Charlie didn't speak only Dutch nowadays.

[I'm feeling opposite today.]

Serenity sat, looking out the window and humming.

Kelsi skipped up the stairs and entered the Owlery. "Hey, Serenity! What's up?" She found an owl and hooked the letters onto his feet. "Umm... Cruise Household, and Brown Household."

Rachel looked at the owls admiringly. "Man, I love owls, they're so beautiful... I couldn't bring mine to school with me, cause you know, Hootie is getting old and all..."

Serenity burst out laughing. "HOOTIE? Do you know- of course you do, Rach, you're muggle-born- Hooters? THAT'S HILARIOUS!"

"I'M PURE-BLOOD YOU IDIOT! HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW!?"

"Well, with Kelsi right next to you, I get confused!" She said. "But, you know-- Hooters means boobs! HAHA! You have an owl that means boobies." She rolled around laughing.

"Well, his name is Hootie, not Hooter! And I was TEN!"

"Doesn't matter- six years ago it still meant what it means. To change the subject, how was herbology? I heard it was a mess. You've got a scratch, Rach, I hope it doesn't hurt.."

"Yeah, it's fine now-Kelsi healed most of it up from me. And, it was horrible! I'm wondering why the HECK I'm even taking it! I mean, dragon urine, honestly..."

"Ouch," Serenity said, wincing in sympathy. "So are you going to stay with it for next year? I don't like plants at all- they always die near me."

"Of course! We aren't even learning anything useful or that will help us later in life..."

"I know! It's like a job in the Ministry, St. Mungo's, teach here, or be a muggle! I'm not going to do any of their crap! I don't need magic to function and have a job! I'm going to be a lawyer! I don't need magic, although it's useful, it's not necessary."

"You could be like a lawyer that works for both Muggle and magical cases. I'm probably just going to end up being like a stay at home mom or something." Rachel then actually threw back her head and started laughing. "AHAHAHA-And too think of that glorious life of glamour I was planning on having..."

"Why can't you have a life of glamour? That's what I'm planning on, at least. Ballrooms, pianos, gowns, silver, diamonds, gold, stocks, jets.."
Serenity stood up, spinning around and closing her eyes, and for a few seconds, she was in a ballroom, spinning around, dancing with upperclassmen, wearing jewelry, feeling her purse heavy with gold, a crown on her head....
"I want to be a princess!" She squealed, falling back on some hay. She quickly snapped out of it, standing up and brushing herself off. "Not really, that's a bit too far, but some cushions, boats, diamonds, shoes, a huge closet, and I'll be happy."

"Because... I dunno. I really don't know, actually. Probably because of my grades and I don't have a clear image of what is going to happen in my life... but," she sighed dreamily. "A princess! When I was little, I made up this guy who would marry me. His name was Prince Antonio of Tuscany! And we would live in a chalet in the countryside of Tuscany but close enough to Florence for shopping!"

"Oh!" Serenity sighed, going to Rachel and grabbing her hands. "We should be princesses! We should go down the steps and watch as the room gasps, and have young hot men on our arms, and hairstylists, and shoe stores, restaurants, all ours!" She spun Rachel around, then rushed over to the Owlery steps, going down them, head high, like she was really in a ball. "With tiaras, and hottubs, and foot massages between events, and beautiful gowns, and we'll be so beautiful, Rachel, and rich, and it'll be just wonderful. We'll go shopping every single day, and they won't even charge us, because we donated so much money before! Oh it would be wonderful, wouldn't it, to fly around the world, people looking at you and me, people we knew from before bowing, and the desserts, the chocolates, the wines, oh, Rachel!" She rushed back up the stairs, squealing. "I wish I could be a princess! With diamonds! And limousines!"

Rachel started to squeal and get all excited too.
"OH! And we could go to balls and parties and events every night! And we get all dressed up in the most BEAUTIFUL dresses and we can have people do our hair for us and makeup and everything and then we can have the hands of every single guy we meet along the way because they just think we're just gorgeous but then we'll just politely decline them because we will be too busy with our life of luxury!"

"YES! And until we found the guy of our dreams- handsome, but sensitive enough, and sweet, and perfect for each of us, we'll marry them, and live happily ever after! And they'll hug us under the moonlight, and kiss our hands at parties, and the other men will be so envious but we'll be so happy!"

"YEAH! And then we'll have this HUGE HUGE wedding extravaganza where we only invite people that matter and then we'll go on an extended trip around the world with our princes for our honeymoon!"
