Challenge #22: Whooo is going to write this week?
I said who?
Who?
Who are you?
I'm much too tired to play peekaboo
I was up all night
It's the way of an owl
I heard the night birds tweet
And the lions growl
I was busy being wise
Now I need some sleep
Who's that trying to slink and creep?
This week's challenge is to write about the owls of the Harry Potter world. How did they become the mail system? Why are they willing to carry letters? How do they find their way on long trips? In addition, you can write about the other types of birds they might use in other lands.
As long as your drabble somehow involves birds and mail, and it's 100 words on the nose, you'll get 10 points for your house!
Idea submitted by rabican! Lyrics are by Randy Crenshaw: Owl's Song, from Winnie the Pooh.
Don't forget, the format for submitting a drabble:
Title: [Your title or "Untitled".]
House: [Your house, pick one: Gryffindor, Slytherin, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw.]
Word Count: [100 or some other non-100 number.]
Characters/Pairings: [List or leave out, your choice.]
Author's Notes: [Optional.]
