Oddball In The Owlery

If it wasn't for Kyria being there Mavis would have probably lay there all day in the straw and owl droppings simply laughing, then laughing about laughing and then finally laughing because she forgot what she would have been laughing at in the first place.

'Thanks Kira!' Mavis replied as she was pulled up by the fellow Gryffindor - not even realising that she had gotten her name wrong. 'I'm good why? Are you not?' Mavis' eyes suddenly shone with sadness, 'You're not upset are you?' Scratching her head at what could have brough on Kyria's sudden sadness Mavis pulled a twig from it, tossing it aside for an owl to peck.

It wasn't uncommon for Mavis to forget what was happening. The, what she thought was a change in Kyria's mood, had completely distracted her from the house elves and she went over to pat Dusty whilst she waited for Kyria's reply.

"You're welcome," Kyria smiled, disregarding the fact that Mavis had gotten her name wrong. The pronunciation was close enough so it didn't bother her that much. If it happened again thought Kyria might just say something about it.

'I'm good why? Are you not? You're not upset are you?' Kyria was a little confused by the turn of the subject. The subject was also directed back to her. Kyria shrugged it off. She was probably just as concerned as Kyria was.

"Why would i be upset?" Kyria asked a little confused but giving a genuine smile. "It's alright I'm not. There's no reason to." She started to smile brighter. Kyria looked at Mavis as she started to pet her owl and cocked her head a little, unsure as to whether or not they were going.

"Uhmm... Are we still going to visit the house elves?' Kyria asked, pointing her thumb back outside, looking almost tomboyish with her gesture. "I'm still up for it if you think I'm not." Kyria said, thinking Mavis thought she may be uninterested in seeing the elves. She hoped that would help solve the misunderstanding as well.

Mavis continued to pay Dusty, blinking rather oddly as Kyria told Mavis she was fine. A wide smile growing at her fellow student mentioning the house elves - Mavis had completely forgot! 'Oh yes! I'd forgotten all about that! Shall we go now? OH LET'S!' The idea of showing Kyria her house elf companions was rather exciting for Mavis, she never got to share experiences like this with people. Sure whenever the girl talked to someone she thought she'd made a friend but with Kyria it really did seem like she'd made a new friend. A good friend.

Hurrying over to Kyria Mavis grasped her hand, her heartbeat rising rapidly releasing the moment. 'You will LOVE Lopsie she is so funny! Once I laughed and juice came out of my mouth!' Mavis exclaims before stopping by the door to double up in laughter at the memory. Not that she could remember it, all she remembered was once finding something funny. What exactly was funny had escaped the girls empty skull, yet she still found it oddly hilarious. Well, she wasn't called Oddball Oakes for nothing.

'Shall we go then?' Mavis asked after catching her breath back from the laughing fit.

Kyria smiled back, seeing her new friend had brightened back up. She was about to leave the owlery to see the elves when MAvis took her hand.

'You will LOVE Lopsie she is so funny! Once I laughed and juice came out of my mouth!" Kyria started laughing with Mavis. She loved how lively Mavis seemed to be. Kyria was sure she would be bored being around a person like Mavis. 'Shall we go then?

Kyria panted from the laughter and held her stomach for a minute first before she replied. She herself lightened up, mostly hoping they could get out of the owlery into the kitchens. Now that Kyria thought about it too, she was feeling quite hungry so maybe she could get a snack too.

"Yes!" Kyria answered excitedly. Before she would let Mavis say another word, she pulled her out of the doorway to the owlery and started down the stairs. Kyria didn't want to stall anymore time they had left to see the house elves. "Lead the way!"

(So are we going to continue this in the kitchens then? If so then we should apply to extend it past Thursday ^_^)

Mavis beamed as Kyria grasped her hand. Nobody ever grasped her hand, or touched her for that matter. A special light had switched on inside of Mavis, what she wanted was finally coming true: A friend. A real friend.

Moving as fast as her chubby legs could carry her, a smile on her face and Kyria in tow, Mavis headed along the seventh floor corridor, down several flight of staircases before arriving at the top of the marble staircase in the entrance hall.

'We're almost there, it's just down here!' Mavis exclaimed as she clumsily thundered down the staircase and through a door besides the huge oak doors of The Great Hall, arriving in an underground passage whose walls were plastered with still life paintings of food. They passed an alcove with wooden barrels stacked up high, reaching the final painting of a fruit bowl. Mavis reached up and tickled the pear, causing the portrait to swing open to reveal an opening. Turning her head to Kyria Mavis grinned in excitement before entering.

(OOC: Yeah that's fine. Wasn't sure what else to put in this so I thought that I would just rp taking Kyria to the kitchens. Want me to start the kitchen thread now? Or do you? )

Kyria followed quickly after Mavis, really havig absolutely no jdea where mavis was taking her ither than the Great Hall. She smiledc happy thatshe had made a new friend, and before the summer as well. Kyria may as well be using her aunt's owl this summer.

Kyria followed Mavis down the entrance hall. Making it through the hallway to the Great Hall, Mavis took Kyria through a door which Kyria often overlooked. She couldn't recall such a door existing there but then agakn since she never used it Kyria must've pain mo attention to it whatsoever.

Passing the paintings and entering the alcove, Kyria smile even wider, with a growing feeling that they were almost to the elves. Kyria watched with a peculiar look as Mavis tickle te pear on the wall painting. The paintig swung open, much like how the Fat Lady portrait opened for Gryffindors. Kyria smed with Mavis, not quite knowig what to sag out of pre excitement. Kyria didn't hesitate to follow her in.

(I can start it if you haven't already ^_^.)
