Connor smiled happily as he grabbed a big package off his bed. He was sending his parents home a gift he made as a nice gift for them. He exited the common room with the package in his arms and Kiki followed closely behind him. He almost ran up the stairs towards the owlery. He almost slipped on the steps because he was walking way to fast. He steadied himself and went to look for Nettle, the owl. Kiki sat up on the windowsill as he looked, he was unsure of what to do after this. (Sorry it's short , muse dead)

(Not being rude, but a few things. The Hufflepuff Common Room is on the sub-levels so the Owlery will be upstairs and it's May in the IC timeline.)

Nina liked to go up to the Owlery often. And most of the time, it wasn't to send anything. She just loved to visit the owls. She knew most of them by name, and talked to them even though they didn't know what she said and she didn't understand them. She still believed they enjoyed her company as well as they did hers. She also brought a bowl of meat for them. They had already been fed, but she liked to give them a little snack.
Her next stop was Nettle, little knowing the owl was about to be visited by someone else. She fed the owl and then stroked its feathers.
"Hello, Nettle," she said. "You're looking quite lovely today. Deliver any packages today? I know you owls stay quite busy with all the students. I hope they appreciate what you do for them. I certainly do."
Nina planned to visit the other owls of course, but Nettle was one of her favorites. The owl always seem to be captivated by her voice and a very good "listener". She fed the owl another small piece of meat and was about to move on to another one as Connor had arrived in the owlery.

Connor looked around, but didn't see his owl. "Nettle! Come here boy!,"he called out. Nettle flew over to land on his shoulder. Only then did Connor notice Nina. "Oh, hello there. My name's Connor,"he joyfully introduced himself to the girl. He loved to be as nice as he could to anyone, even if he didn't know them. He thought he'd seen this girl before and tried to think it over. 'Oh, I remember! She's a Hufflepuff in my year!,' he thought happily knowing that she was a Hufflepuff just like him and she's in his year.

Nina was a tad startled when a boy's voice called out for Nettle. She turned and smiled though.
"Oh sorry, I didn't realize you were looking for Nettle?" she said. "I love to visit with him and the others when I come up."
He then introduced himself. She was pretty certain she had seen him in the Common Room, along with some of her classes. To think in all her years at Hogwarts, she had yet to meet everyone in her House and year.
"I'm Nina," she said. "Sorry again for detaining Nettle for you. I'll just be over here giving Queenie her snack so you can have Nettle send your package."
The boy seemed very nice, but Nina still felt bad about keeping the owl from its job. The owls were lovely and most of them were friendly and loved Nina's attention, but many were also there at Hogwarts for a reason. Also, some students only used certain owls, and for all she knew, Connor probably only used Nettle.
As she fed and pet Queenie, she looked over at Connor again.
"I'm really surprised I haven't met you already," she said. "I think I recognize you from a class or two. What all do you take?"

Connor smiled as he gave the package to Nettle,"Remember Nettle, this goes straight to my parents." He gave the owl a treat before the owl flew off. He looked up at the girl feeding the owl. 'That's really sweet,' he thought to himself as he watched.
He thought he saw her before an even talked to her, but could never remember her name. She then introduced herself, Nina! 'That's right, now I remember,' he thought. He walked over to her and the owl she was feeding.
Connor smiled when she asked what classes he took. He had to think,"Let me think, I take all the required ones. Alchemy, Muggle Studies, and Care of Magical Creatures."

Nina smiled when Connor said what she was doing was sweet.
"Oh it's nothing," she said. "I love visiting the owls. They're so beautiful and wild, yet very tame in a lot of ways. These are very used to our presence by now, so they let you pet them."
He mentioned two classes the two took together. That was very odd, but both classes were very large after all. It made sense that the two could have never spoke to one another.
"I take Muggle Studies and Care of Magical Creatures," she said. "Perhaps you and I can study together some time."
Nina took a moment to speak to the next owl and pet her before going on to another and another. She motioned for Connor to follow her if she wanted to.
"So how has your time been at Hogwarts?" she asked. "I can't believe you and I are Sixth Years and we've never spoken. I thought I had gotten to know just about every Hufflepuff in my year. But it is a large school." She then offered Conner the bag of dry meat. "Would you like to help me feed them? I usually give two pieces to each because they had a meal only an hour or so ago."

Connor smiled when she offered that they could study together sometimes. "Yeah, that would be great!," he followed her as she walked to the next owl. He loved to pet the owls and sometimes he would just sit in the owlery and talk to the owls. He mainly just hung out with Nettle.
Connor sat down on a stool that he'd found. Kiki jumped up on his lap and began to purr as he pet the cat. Connor's smile faltered when she mentioned that she'd never met him before. "Actually, the reason not very many people know me is because I came to Hogwarts for the first two years, but I my parents transferred me at the beginning of my third year. Not very many people knew me at that time, so really no one knew I was gone. I got my parents to let me come back for my last two years though, but I don't have that many friends still." @ninadevoll

Nina listened to Connor speak on why she probably didn't know him, and that he didn't have a lot of friends. This was heart-breaking as he seemed like a sweet boy. Nina couldn't help herself, and she walked over and patted him on the shoulder. If he needed a hug, she would give that too.
"Well, you have a friend now," she said. "And I can introduce you to others. Hufflepuff is full of wonderful people, and I know some wonderful Gryffindors too... and a few nice Ravenclaws and Slytherins if you can believe that." She chuckled a bit. "Why don't you come out to Hogsmeade with some of us some time? We'll all have some fun."
She then smiled at Kiki.
"What a lovely cat," she said. "May I pet it?" She hated calling an animal "it", but she didn't know right away if the cat was a boy or girl. "I have a chimpanzee named Amadeus. He's one my best mates in a lot ways. I'm able to communicate with apes, and some nights he and I chat for hours... or at least until he falls asleep." Nina laughed a bit at this. "We can meet him when we go back down to the Common Room if you'd like."

Connor smiled as she said that he had a friend, and offered to introduce him to others. "Thanks, and I would love to come with you and your friends to Hogsmeade," he spoke to her cheerfully. His eyes sparkled as he thought that he finally had a friend and possibly some more friends in the future.
Connor watched as Kiki purred at being pet. "This is Kiki, she's my best friend at Hogwarts," his smile grew as she said that she could talk to apes, "Really!? I can talk to cats, Kiki and I have had some fun conversations." He almost jumped up at the offer to meet her ape. "Yes! I would love to," he picked up Kiki.

Nina smiled at Connor. She loved helping to make others feel liked and accepted. Nina had become popular due to being a talented Chaser on the Hufflepuff Quidditch team, but she didn't let it go to her head. She was kind and respectful to anyone who showed it in return.
"We'll have a lot of fun," she said.
Nina pet Kiki as Connor told her he could talk to cats.
"It's wonderful to be able to talk to animals, isn't it?" she said. "Do you ever speak with the larger cats at the zoo? I've had hour long conversations with the gorillas before. They have a lot of interesting things to say. There a lot more gentle and civilized than Muggles make them out to be."
When he said he wanted to meet Amadeus, Nina smiled again.
"Well, let give these owls their snacks and head back down!" she said excitedly, anxious to show the boy the chimp.
A bit later, it was time to go down, and it was perfect timing. Amadeus had woke up from his nap, and was waiting for Nina in the Common Room. Nina picked him up once she and Connor had arrived and pointed Connor to her simian friend.
"This is Connor," said Nina. "Connor, Amadeus." The chimp extended his hand for Connor to shake.

Connor picked up Kiki and followed Nina back down to Hufflepuff common room. He smiled as he saw her pet ape and walked up to him. "Hi Amadeus. I'm Connor and his is Kiki," he showed Kiki as he shook the ape's hand. He thought owning an ape was cool, he'd always wanted to have a pet snake but his parents thought it was a dangerous pet to own. He looked at Nina, "Owning an ape must be so cool!"

Nina "translated" for Conner and then Amadeus said something.
"He said he is honored to meet you and your cat," chuckled Nina. "Amadeus is a very civilized simian, and always practiced good manners."
"Oh stop it," said Amadeus in the language he and Nina shared. Nina chuckled at him as well.
"He's also very modest," she said.
She then shrugged when Connor said it must have been fun to own an ape.
"My mum is a Muggle, and he's from the laboratory she works in," said Nina. "I would come to visit her at work, and would talk to him for hours. We became mates quite quickly. When it was time for him to go back to the zoo, my mum knew how much we would miss each other and arranged for me to keep him. We're a regular couple of coconuts, he and I. We're rarely apart every day."
Nina then picked Amadeus up and kissed him in the forehead. She then turned to Connor.
"So where do you live?" she asked. "In London or elsewhere? We live in the magic section of the city. My mum actually likes it more than the Muggle part. She doesn't care for most modern Muggle technology."

Connor smiled at the ape, "Well, Celeste and I are honored to meet you two." Celeste spoke up to Connor, "Well, looks like I've got someone to talk to now when you're gone." Connor laughed at his cat's remark.
"A laboratory? Wow, that sounds like a cool job to have," he thought about lab work and then focused back on track when she told him the story on how she got her friend, "that's cool. Celeste the runt of a litter that an old lady in our neighborhood had. Nice old lady, too bad she died."
"The magical part, cool place. I live near it, but I love to take a look at what some of the muggles are up too," he laughed. Muggles were always creating new contraptions.
