#7 - Very Important Post

But he pushed on and found a box with some promising feathers being guarded by a grumpy looking owl.

"It would be in your best interest not to peck me, you know." He warned as he reached inside for the first feather. Despite his dislike of creatures, William did make sure not to disturb the Owl too much.

He had been raised to be respectful and polite, after all.

The first feather was an easy get and he stowed it away into his Potions Kit while he considered the second one. William knew it would be a waste to leave it behind so he sighed and dug into the box again.

A gentle touch was used to ease the Owl to the side. He was rewarded with a quick peck to the back of his hand and William frowned, "Behave."

A few more pecks but the feather was his. William was glad to see it hadn't been damaged as he pulled it free.

"That was not the most painful thing I have ever had to endure. Next time, you will have to do better." William remarked to the Owl and then paused. He was talking to an owl. He had truly lost it.

William shook his head and then pushed his hair back into place. He put the second feather away and headed out of the Owlery. He had other ingredients to gather after all.
