Pansy Parkinson told me that Cho's owl Ravenstar had died yesterday. No wonder why she was so sad! I asked my father for a new owl, so he gave me a small, silver elf owl. I gave it to Cho. She's feeling much better now.
She named the owl Silverstream and mumbled, "Micrathene whitneyi." What is that, anyways? Is that a spell? If it is, what's supposed to happen?
Well, anyways, my mother bought me an owl, too. I couldn't think of a name, so I asked Cho to name it. It was an eagle owl and she named it Eagleclaw. I really like that name. I wonder if it's a boy or a girl. Maybe I'll ask Hagrid, the Care of Magical Creatures teacher.
