A tiny fluff was walking along Diagon Alley, looking around every now and then. She had short blonde hair and a black headband. She was wearing a maroon coat with a navy blue skirt and black boots.
This person was called Sophie Turner. This energetic girl was already in her fifth year at Hogwarts.
She was half-blood, so every time she was on Diagon Alley, she remembered every magical detail. Previously, she did not believe that such a street even exists!
But on her way back, Sophie just walked into Gringot's Bank. It was supposed to withdraw money that can be paid here. The center of the Bank looked as usual, same walls and same goblins.
~ It's strange that they are not bored here yet. ~ the girl thought walking up to the queue.
She leaned out behind other people and saw that the line was very long. The Hufflepuff sighed slowly and looked around.
Suddenly she heard an owl crawling, and at the same moment a barn owl flew over her.
A bit surprised blonde watched the flying owl and its collision with the wall.
After a while a boy ran up to the barn owl and began to look at it.
- Is she okay? - Asked the puffer, coming up to the brunet and the barn owl lying on the ground.
Fortunately not. He's had worse accidents. He replied lifting the owl from the floor.
She breathed a sigh of relief and introduced herself as usual with a big smile:
- I'm Sophie Turner.
- Vincent Orneus, call me Win. - He also introduced himself and returned her smile.
- Are you sure he'll be okay? she asked, seeing that the owl was still lying stunned - It doesn't look very good ...
- Thanks for your concern, but he'll probably be fine. Rusty may be reckless, but surprisingly he recovers quickly. He paused and showed that Rusty, already awake, was in his hands. "See?"
The teenager laughed and stroked the owl's head. Rusty was obviously used to such accidents.
- I see. - She replied, and after a moment asked - And what house are you in? Because I think I know you from somewhere.
- I'm from Ravenclaw. And you probably noticed me somewhere while at Hogwarts.
After a while, Win thought about it and looked at Sophie. She was smiling all the time and responding energetically. From this behavior he concluded that it must be from only two houses.
"And you're probably Gryffindor or Hufflepuff, aren't you?" He asked, stopping looking at the girl.
- Not from Slytherin. she said seriously, and then she laughed "Hufflepuf, really."
Win laughed too and smiled at the puffer. She was one of those people who are constantly in a good mood.
- Well, then it's nice to meet you Sophie Turner from Hufflepuff.
- You too, Wincent Orion of Ravenclaw. she replied, and for an even better impression she bowed playfully.
Together they laughed and smiled at each other. The teenager adjusted the bag on her shoulder and after a moment of silence, she decided to speak.
- What year are you studying anyway? she asked with a hint of curiosity and added "I'm on the fifth."
- I am studying in the sixth year.
The Ravenclaw watched Rusty's behavior the whole time. The flame owl wanted to clearly remind her of her presence. Once she pecked on the arm and once he pretended to be terribly hurt. The blonde noticed the owl's behavior and laughed softly so as not to offend Win.
"Sorry about him, he's a terrible jealousy." He apologized and snorted softly at his poor acting skills.
- He just wants attention.
Sophie stroked the owl as she did and smiled warmly. Rusty at first dissatisfied, then joyfully allowed her to stroke him.
- May I know how such a lively animal can hurt itself so often? she asked, stroking Rusty.
Win thought for a moment and replied with a slight smile:
"Well, he's very lucky to do that, and he's a rather reckless creature." - He stated recalling each action with the main role of his owl - But surprisingly is a tough owl.
The Hufflepuff laughed out loud and stopped stroking the owl. She glanced over her shoulder and turned her head back to her new acquaintance.
- I'll have to go. See you at Hogwarts! she exclaimed and went back to the smaller queue to withdraw money.
Instead, the raven with a smile, along with Rusty, left the bank. He was in a better mood than before entering the building.
~ Now I have to go to a few shops and then to Platform Nine and Three Quarters! ~ he thought and entered the first store.
