An Owl's Tale

Bacon

Pigwidgeon gazed longingly at his master's bacon strips, he turned and watched the Potter boy feed the beautiful snow white owl Hedwig beside him. He let her have his bacon, why wouldn't his master give him some of his? He decided this was a great injustice and that if his master would not offer him some he might simply take some… but that would be stealing… so maybe not, he didn't want his master to get angry with him, then he might not let him post his mail anymore! No, maybe he could try the dark-haired boy; he looked nice.

He hopped over various bowls of food and situated himself next to the boy's plate, he then proceeded to look up at him with his big brown eyes.

"Hey Pigwidgeon," The dark-haired youth raised an eyebrow at the owl's consistent look and turned when Pigwidgeon turned to look at Hedwig, who was currently chewing a piece of bacon, "Ah, I see," He smiled, "bacon Pigwidgeon?" He said as he held up a piece for him, which the owl received most gratefully. Now here was a kind, good master, not that his master wasn't nice, but he did have the tendency to be slightly… unappreciative of his services, most of his mail was pretty heavy after all! And Pigwidgeon did a good job of delivering it. He was no fool, he knew these were important times, he knew he had to keep his beak firmly on all letters and parcels, just in case someone wanted to intercept them, something he would never let happen! He was a good, loyal owl; he would not fail his master.

He turned his attention to the snow queen vision beside him, she was a good friend, she had helped him with some heavy mail before, and she was so beautiful. He had seen all of the other owls eyeing her, but she paid no attention to them, and rightly so, in Pigwidgeon's mind he could see that none of them were anywhere near good enough for her. Though, he had heard she had a fling with the famous blonde Slytherin's falcon owl, but that they broke it off because their master's hated each other, it was like Romeo and Juliet really, they were both on different sides. But he was glad they were finished, he didn't need any more competition for her affection, certainly not a huge bird like that. Of course he knew really that he himself was not good enough for her either, but if he grew bigger with time perhaps she would spare him a second glance, it was worth a try, anything for her. But perhaps that was a foolish aspiration, as he seemed to be stunted, it was in his genes, he wasn't meant to get any bigger then this probably.

And suddenly her magnificent golden eyes fell upon his ordinary brown ones, her expression seemed to soften almost as she looked at him, but perhaps that was just his hopeful imagination. But as she took flight she looked back to him; inviting him to join her, and so he did, of course. He took off as quickly as he could, rather clumsily unfortunately, and he joined her in the air, he flew in small circles around her cooing as he went, and from her expression he was pleased to find she found it rather sweet if not amusing.

He thought he saw the Potter boy laughing and smiling at them, as they flew out of the Great Hall together.
