Calidus stepped into the Owlery, wearing an old navy blue t-shirt with faded jeans. He leaned against the wall, brushing his long, blonde hair out of his eyes. He racked his brains for a happy memory, and thought of his new best friends, Delilah and Taylor. "Expecto Patronum," he muttered, and a silver Dolphin burst out of his wand, and began swimming around the room amongst the owls. Seeing his Patronus always made him feel better. He saw it go past his pure-white Eagle Owl, Lepido, and walked over to see her. He was stroking her softly, when the door burst open behind him, and, from his shock, his Patronus disappeared with a pop.

Calidus recognized the girl as a Slytherin, so he slowly shuffled backwards against a wall. "I'm Calidus..." he muttered. He assumed that, as a Slytherin, she would pick on him. He hoped he was wrong. Lepido suddenly flew onto his shoulder, and he stroked her. He then conjured his Patronus again; it made him feel safe. It swam beautifully back and forth between he and the Slytherin. He watched it, as did Lepido, her pink eyes following it around the room. the effect was almost hypnotic. He took a step to the side, and almost tripped over something on the floor. He looked down, and saw a parcel there. He picked it up. The adress was smudged, so he could not make it out.

Delilah had planned on sending an owl to her friends off at Beauxbatons. She silently walked up to the owlery. Man, there are a LOT of stairs... By the time she reached the top, she was panting slightly. "Get in shape, Del!" She quietly scolded herself. Delilah slid open the door to the owlery and peeked inside.
There were two people inside already, apparently having a conversation. She glimpsed a graceful dolphin Patronus. Calidus! Delilah recognized the figure as one of her close friend's Patronus. Delilah looked closer at the other figure. It was a girl, and by the look of her robes, she was a Slytherin. Though she didn't want to be judgemental, she did know that Cal wasn't too fond of them.
Delilah wanted to make herself known, so she quickly whistled loudly for her owl, Stardust. It was new one she had gotten. Stardust was white, with flecks of grey. "Hey girl. How are you?" She strode into the room and came to stand beside Calidus. "What's up Cal?" And then she turned to acknowledge the other girl. With a sincere smile, Delilah said, "Hello. I'm Delilah. Mind if I ask your name?" She wanted to at least give the girl a chance.

Annabelle saw him go against the wall,,probably because he was scared.Annabelle watched him send out his Patronus again,it was dolphin.Just like my brothers.Annabelle thought looking at the dolphin.She turned around to the sound of an whistle.She saw another Ravenclaw,but this time it was a girl.She heard the Ravenclaw girl ask her name."Hi yourself.I'm Annabelle.Nice to met you."Annabelle said smiling.She looks like his friend,and since she was a Ravenclaw,she might be Taylor's friend too.Annabelle thought,smiling weakly.

Calidus sighed with relief when Delilah entered. He smiled at her slightly, and, with a wave of his wand, the Patronus disappeared. Suddenly, another owl flew in through the window and landed on a perch next to Calidus. It dropped a letter at his feet, and he picked it up. It was probably more news on his sister, Sollers. he glanced up at the two girls, and explained. "My younger sister is ill at St Mungo's," he said, and read the letter: Dear Calidus, Sollers is getting better already. They don't yet know what was wrong with her, but she should recover soon. I said hello to her from you, and she wanted to give you the parcel attatched. Love, Dad and Sollers. Calidus looked around and saw a parcel attached to the Owl's other leg. He took it off and opened it, and saw it was a framed photo. It was him, at the age of six, holding baby Sollers in his arms in their garden. They were both roaring with laughter at something. He smiled: he had forgotten he used to have his hair like that, in thick curls down to his shoulders. He shuffled over to Delilah and showed her the letter and picture.

"Nice to meet you." Delilah wanted to judge the Slytherin so badly, seeing as she was freaking out Cal quite badly. No Del, remember, fair chances! She took a deep breath and resolved to be nice to the girl. As long as the girl remained civil, that is. She saw Calidus pick up a package from an owl. He opened it and she watched him as he came over to her. She gently took the picure from him and looked at it.
It was a picture of Calidus when he was younger. He had thick curls down to his shoulder. "Is this really you? Wow, you've changed." Her eyes shifted downward to the bundle he was carrying in his arms. They were both laughing and merriment was alive in both sets of eyes. Delilah's heart melted at the sight. She asked quietly, "Is this your sister or something?" She could see the resemblance between the two. "What's her name?"

Calidus nodded. "Yes," he said, "That's Sollers. But this photo was taken 9 years ago. She's coming to Hogwarts next year," he almost said "If she recovers," but thought that would sound like Sollers' illness was fatal, which, of course, he hoped was not true. He looked at the picture again. Sollers, like Calidus, had white-blonde hair and green eyes, and a thin, pale face. Calidus raised a hand to his hair, which was now neck-length and straight, but still the same colour. He remembered when this photo was taken - his father, Priorus, had just said Caldius and Sollers' favourite joke to make them smile. In the background, the garden was beautiful as usual, with the flowers and plants that his Mother, Louise had kept so well swaying in the breeze. He then remembered, with a jolt, that Louise had died later that year. He missed her so much.
[OOC: I just remembered, his Mum's dead. I'd better change the letter, lol.]

[Good cover-up ] Delilah smiled as she continued to gaze at the picture. "Oh really? Well, we'll have to welcome her sometime then, don't we?" She couldn't wait to meet his sister. "So, does she go to a different school, or is she still underage to be accepted into Hogwarts?" She handed the picture back to Calidus. "It's a great picture." She smiled and tried to cheer Calidus up. She had noticed the sudden dismal appearance on his face. He's probably thinking about his mom. Delilah knew that his mom had died and she felt sad as well. It was always hard to lose a family member.

Delilah snapped her head up. She had totally forgotten the girl had been standing there with them. "Wha--? Oh, um, yeah. Taylor's a great friend of mine. Why?" Delilah felt really bad about forgetting about the girl. Annabelle, right? She kept this thought inside her head. Delilah glanced back at the girl, as if waiting for an answer. "Do you know her as well?"
