as bored as the bird on my shoulder (Open)

[efolin]

Efolin was up in the owlery with his Phoenix which was perched on his shoulder. Efolin had a lolly stuck in his mouth. The fifth year boy got his sweets from his father who sent them to him via owl or by Argon (His Phoenix) who was so much stronger than an Owl.

“Oi!” yelled Efolin as Argon took a nip at his hair “Stop that!” he grabbed the birds beak and closed it shut then he remembered that Argon did that to get Efolin’s attention “What is it?” he looked around to see someone standing at the door “Oh that’s what” he couldn’t see who it was as the sun was entering the doorway too brightly and basically blinded him.

Usually on days like this, you would expect to see every student on the grounds, either by the lake or under the trees. Samantha liked to visit the Owlery when the weather was nice; or for that matter when it wasn't, she didn't really have a preference. What was nice about it was that nobody was rarely up there, so she had no worries about being disturbed.

Samantha stopped in the doorway, mainly because she saw someone else in her favorite spot. Then her attention was drawn the the Phoenix that was perched on this students shoulder. She gasped and couldn't move.
