[James Hill]

James wandered up to the dreaded owlery. It had been 3 days since he had been up here and had recieved the news that he was now an orphan. Opening the door, he noticed that no one was in here and that Kate's owl, Tilly was sitting in her perch with a massive parcel in her beak that was kind of resting on the floor. She sqwarked and screeched as he approached her and knocked the parcel into his hands. He loked at it and asked, "Is this for Kate?" Feeling a little stupid at asking the owl, he looked at the label and saw, to his surprise that it was addressed to him.

Opening it carefully, he saw that it was a firebolt broomstick. He chuckled to himself that Kate would want one of these - she hated flying and James knew it inside out. He opened the card that was with it and read carefully,

Dear James,
We knew you wanted one of these and so we brought it for you as a pick up present.
Use it well,
Uncle Mark and Aunty Anna

James grinned widely at it. It was just what he wanted. Storing the card in his back pocket, he rolled it around in his hand.

Looking outside, he decided that as it was raining, he would fly on it tomorrow and invite Aly to come with him.

James quickly left the owlery.
