Eric mounted the tall winding stone staircase leading outside and up to the Owl Observation tower. He was winded and as soon as he stepped inside he was breathing in the scent of dozens of personal and school owls. Eric coughed softly and then he looked around. he moved to one of the glassless windows and took a few deep breaths. The tower floor was littered with droppings, small skeletons, and hay.
From about him he could see dozens of eyes blinking at him. Eric had a small envelope under his arm. He was up here to send a letter to his brother. He knew his parents were not fond of the owls but his brother loved them. Eric called to his owl. It was a snow owl like his uncles had been. Harry had bought Court for Eric when Eric had gotten his letter. Harry had had a owl named Hedwig. Eric did not like to ask many questions about the owl. His uncle had loved that bird.
