Cory almost enjoyed it when a now-familiar brown owl flew over to the Ravenclaw table and landed right on top of his plate of waffles these days. It was just too cute not to immediately love, with its spotted, fluffy feathers and large, panicky eyes. Much like its owner, he thought as he gave it a little nudge to push it off his waffles. He plucked one small round feather from the maple syrup and tossed it aside.

He stood, picked up the owl, careful not to crush its tiny body, and made his way across the Great Hall to the Gryffindor table. He bounced a little when he caught sight of a small blonde boy slowly working through a pile of toast slathered with strawberry jam. Like always, every morning.

Cory coughed to get his attention, and the boy jumped almost a foot into the air. He turned around, and upon seeing his own owl clutched in a first year Ravenclaw’s hands, looking bashful (if owls could look bashful), his eyes widened, and he swallowed his bite of toast as quickly as possible.

Cory waited patiently, albeit a bit awkwardly.

When he’d finished, the blonde boy took the owl from his grasp, tapping it on the head reproachfully. “Skops! Are you blind? I’m your owner, not him.” He looked up at Cory. “Sorry about him. Again. He seems to like you.”

Cory smiled. “Skops? I was wondering what his name was.”

The boy’s ears turned a bright shade of red. “My dad named him. ‘Skops.’ It means ‘owl’ in ancient Greek, so... my owl’s name is Owl.” He looked down at the owl, who was staring up at the boy with wide yellow-green eyes as if to say “Who, me?”

Cory tipped his head to the side, eyeing the embarrassed first year. “If your owl thinks I’m his owner, then maybe we should share custody. I don’t have an owl, unfortunately; just a cat.”

The boy stared up at him with large green eyes, looking very much like his pet. “I don’t even know your name.”

“Cory Lovegood. You?”

The boy was hesitant for a moment. “Alexander Warne. Not Warren. Warne. W-A-R-N-E.”

Cory got the feeling that he’d recited this speech many times before.

“And you can call me Alec if you want,” the boy continued, the redness spreading from his ears to his cheeks, “all my friends do. Not that I have that many friends, but, er... never mind. I’m rambling. I do that when I’m nervous. Either that or I just clamp up. I won’t talk for hours.... Oh, see, I’m doing it again, I’m rambling.”

Cory grinned. He leaned down to stroke Skops’ downy feathers, watching for Alec’s reaction. He didn’t push his hand away, at least, so that was good. He still seemed at a loss for words, but the coloring in his cheeks was starting to die down, revealing a scattering of freckles across his nose. “Alexander. All right.”

Alec shrugged sheepishly and patted Skops’ head with prideful delight. His smile looked like the sun breaking through a foggy window.

A/N: I just wrote this to get out of a horrible writing slump, so that’s why it’s kinda sloppy and short, haha. 

And I just really like writing Alec from Cory’s POV, let me be.

Got cheesy with that last line, whoops.

✯ welcome to my blog - a formal letter ✯

To: my school bus graveyard followers, my followers in general, and to those in the future,

It was a terrible idea to follow me. You see, you had no idea what you were getting into. If you see any angst posts, or posts in general, run. Run with all the sanity you have left. Because, believe me, you'll only have an ounce or less once you scroll through my blog.

But anyway, if you don't care about any of that, then enjoy. :]
