"Sure," said Cyrus. "Go ahead. He's a Scops Owl. Not a native species."
  
Inside the cage was a small, mottled-brown owl.


  [OOC:  He looks like this:

"I didn't know their were owls that small." Kadyn had gotten out one of his school books on potions, and a glass bottle, full of a drink from his parents cafe. He took a swig and asked "Does either of you know when the trolley comes around? I didn't bring any food..." His stomach gurgled, and he took another drink out of the bottle.

 

Amber grasped her stomach. In her excitement and hurry, she forgot all about breakfast and lunch for that matter. "Does the trolley bring food? And does it take human money?"
   
  "It'll bring around food alright, and of course it takes 'human' money! Did you mean muggle money, in which case, no, you need wizarding money." He reached into his pocket and pulled out a galleon. "Also, it only serves wizarding food, though you'll like it anyway."

Amber reached into her pocket and looked at the queen's face smiling back up at her from the bill. This was what Kayden called 'muggle' money. 
  Er... Can I borrow some money? Unless they take the stuff my grandfather gave me. Muggle money right?"
