Matthew could only stare unamused at the giant eagle perched on Alfred's arm. The Gryffindor student had finally lost his mind Matthew guessed.
"Wait'll that stuck up Kirkland gets a load of this!" Alfred laughed petting the top of the birds head.
"I'm pretty sure that's against the rules, Al." Matthew said irritated, if Alfred got caught with that then Matthew would no doubt be dragged into it.

"Alfred… that thing looks like it wants to eat you, not deliver letters…"
"Naw, you'll see it'll totally be the best messenger bird ever!"
