Abel was sitting on the stairs leading up to the owlery, petting Aiyeai and generally just relaxing. It was 3:29 in the morning, and Abel hadn't slept a wink. So, he had dug out the old invisibility cloak and snuck up to visit all of the owls. Abel had almost been caught, but luckily he was able to escape from Professor McGonagall's clutches in time. At the moment, he wouldn't mind if someone came, but he also was just fine hanging around and playing with the other owls. The invisibility cloak was folded up and hidden underneath Abel's butt, so should anyone come up, they hopefully wouldn't notice. It was nice having a few secrets.
Abel stretched and yawned, causing Aiyeai to fly up from his arm. Abel stood and called her, smiling. "Well, girl, let's get you back to your post. I'm sure all of your other friends are waiting to gossip with you about the strange boy who takes care of you." Abel grabbed the cloak, and started up the stairs to where the other owls were.

Violet sat in the owlery writing a letter to her cousin Jesse. He was the one that she talked to the most out of all of her cousins. He was the also the only one that knew the truth about her. Dear Jesse, I'm loving boarding school! I'm learning so much here. How's school for you? Girls been flirting with you as usual? Please write back soon! Love, Violet
She sealed the letter and sent it off with her owl. It was pretty chilly. Violet hugged her shoulders and watched her owl fly off. Then someone showed up. She didn't expect someone else to be up this late.

Abel paused for a moment when he saw that there was another in the tower, then relaxed when he saw that it was most definitely not a professor. He smiled and like Aiyeai go, then stuffed the cloak into one of the pockets inside his robe. "Why hello there, girly. What would you be doing on this fine morning, at the lovely time of..." He checked his watch. "3:33 am? Make a wish, 3:33 is a magical time. After all, it is three three's." Abel winked and then closed his eyes, mouthing exaggeratedly. He sat down next to Violet.

Violet laughed softly and cocked an eyebrow at him. "3:33, eh? I thought it was 11:11 that you were supposed to wish at." she smiled.

Abel smiled back at the girl's raised eyebrow. "Oh, no, no. You see, 3:33 is the more magical time because it is three threes. Sure, 11:11 is four ones, but it's just not as, well, magical. Not to mention, a lot more people are awake at 11:11, going by the 24-hour clock." Abel stretched out and rested his arms behind his head. "So, what on earth are you doing out here at such an awful,. 'magical' time?"

Violet decided to tease him a bit. "Oh, I'm an insomniac." she winked. "No, I just can't get to sleep till about 4 am and I haven't had any contact with my aunt and uncle and cousins since the day I left for school. What about yourself?"

Abel grinned widely. "I really am an insomniac. I haven't slept since four am yesterday, and that was only for about an hour. You see, I only really sleep a full night of sleep about once a week. It's not very fun, but I do get to explore Hogwarts when I can't sleep." Abel looked forward, at all the owls that were there, trying to see where Aiyeai flew off to. "Aunt, uncle, cousins, eh? Well, my mum sends me a letter just about every other day, and I generally reply once a week, trying to get her to send me less mail, and my little sis writes me on the days my mom doesn't." He laughed. "To be honest, it's a bit annoying. Poor Ereso and Jelul get so overworked."

"I hope I didn't offend you with the insomniac joke. I apologize for that." Violet said, blushing. "Uh-insert size 5 foot in mouth." she laughed. Violet looked up at the ceiling and sighed. "Um, who are Ereso and Jelul?"

"Pfft. Are you forgetting who you're talking to? I'm Abel, He-who-insults-with-ease. I don't believe in getting offended. Life's too short and all that." Abel yawned, finally spotting Aiyeai, who was grooming herself. "Ereso and Jelul are my mum and sis's owls. We have a lot of animals at home. Four owls, three cats, a rat, a toad, and a ferret. Oh, and we have a dog, but he's totally only my sister's. It's a shame she won't be able to bring him next year."

"Oh so you own a pet shop, do you?" she smiled. Violet sighed and put her hands in her hoodie pocket. "So, why won't your sister be able to bring him?" Violet questioned tightening her black hair into a ponytail.

Abel barked out a loud laugh. "Ah, I guess we do own a pet shop. Doesn't make much money, though." He stood up to walk around a bit, stretching his legs. "Anyways, Mum always makes us take our own owl, and since you're only allowed one pet, Sarah will be stuck bringing Jelul, not that she doesn't adore the little screech owl. Besides, I don't think you're even allowed to bring dogs here. They're cute, loyal guys, but they don't make very good familiars." Abel ran his hands through his hair.

"Ah." Violet replied nodding. She looked around awkwardly. "So..." she said with a huge grin.

Abel turned in time to catch Violet's huge grin. He gave a loud, exaggerated gasp. "Why, does that grin imply what I think it does? Are you trying to flirt with me? All alone up here in this tower? You do move fast, don't you?" He held a hand against his face as if to act shocked. "I must say, I am utterly and totally..." He battered his eyelashes at Violet. "flattered."

Violet snorted back laughter and raised her eyebrows at Abel. "I would say yes, but I don't know how to flirt to be perfectly honest." she said blushing. Violet closed her eyes and blurted: "It would explain why I have never had a boyfriend." She clamped her hands over her mouth.

Abel stared at the girl for a few moments. "You've never had a boyfriend? Charming, cute girl like you? Granted, I've never had a boyfriend either, but I would think you'd be taken pretty fast." Abel strutted over to her and asked a question. "Well then, Ms. Alleged Bad Flirt, what is your name? I don't believe I know it. Who knows? Maybe I'll take you out on a date."
