Knowing he was free to spend his afternoon as he pleased after class, Kody was eager to get started on finding ingredients for his list and to impress Professor Snape. He also saw it as a chance to be a bit selfish too!
Kody wanted to see the owls again after this morning! He raced towards the Owlery, climbing the stone steps two at a time and stopped just before he burst inside. He was excited but he didn't want to scare any of the owls.
"Good Afternoon friends." He whispered as he quietly sneaked inside the Owlery. A lot of people complained about the smell, the mess, the noise but Kody loved it all! He stuck his arms out, spun in a slow circle and took a deep breath.
There was a sweet smell too, like freshly fallen leaves. Kody was happy.
He picked a random box to check, pushing up on his tip toes to look inside. If he was lucky, this wouldn't take too long.
He was met with an owl that challenged the falsehood of "if looks could kill", having been woken by his inspection. Kody was tempting fate and safety with every second his attention remained on the next box and its grumpy occupant.

"Aw, sorry. Were you having a good nap? You worked hard this morning, huh?" Kody wished he had some owl appropriate treats to offer. This owl didn't seem too impressed with him infiltrating and he felt bad.
"Go back to sleep~" Kody smiled apologetically and moved around the Owlery, peeking in a few more nest boxes and looking for a feather to pick up. Some owls were snoozing contently, others were watching him intently. He chuckled softly at the sight of an owl grooming another who seemed rather displeased with the situation.
Maybe they were siblings?
Kody wondered which owls were friendly. There had to be a way to tell... Perhaps a question for Professor Fairburn.

Kody gasped softly at the feather, just sitting there and waiting for him to pocket it!
He removed it carefully and inspected the beautiful colours, "What a treasure!"
With a bright smile, he turned around and pocketed the feather into a pouch he was doing to use for his potion ingredients. Or should he ask Reena for advice on the best way to collect and transport them before he was able to get them back to his room?
"Thank you, Owls!" Kody would come back to visit his feathery friends another day and he would make sure to have something for them to enjoy.
With quiet steps, he exited the Owlery and as soon as he was outside, he was racing off again. He clattered down the steps and headed for his next ingredient!
