The tallest tower of the castle where all the owls roost.

Alfred made it to the top of the tower finally with his teacher and sighed as he set his stuff down. Just as he thought his eagle came swooping down from the rafters and sat upon his shoulder. "Hey Hero. I guess you got here before me huh?"

Arthur sat nearby, but not close enough to where that damned bird could get him. He and the Eagle had issues with each other, mainly because he said it wasn't an authorized pet (mainly due to it being GIGANTIC) and also because it constantly screeched and swooped down. It was as much a show off as its master....The Brit shrugged a few inches more in between them, and sighed.
"So, what is it you wanted to discuss?"

Alfred's smile did a full 180 and he looked down at the ground. Hero nuzzled it's face against it's master's and made a low sad cooing noise. His poor master went through so much and there was nothing he could say or do about it.
The giant bird gave Arthur a warning glance before taking out the window to give his dear Alfie some privacy. "When my parents divorced...the only one they fought for custody over was Mattie. Neither of them wanted me..."
He sat down on the floor and hugged his knees to his chest. "I ran away from home and i have been living on my own for the past few weeks. I got a temporary job at a magic pet shop. They were chill and let me live in the attic until school started again."

"So you're upset about the custody battle....and also about where you will be staying after the year?" He'd imagine more so about the custody battle, that alone would be traumatic for a child. Arthur rubbed the back of his head for a moment, attempting to find some consoling words. s**t he was bad with emotional stuff like this....The teacher reached over reluctantly and patted the boy's shoulder, keeping a serious and dignified and teacher like expression.
"It'll....It'll be okay."

Alfred looked at Arthur and smiled his normal grin. "Mr. Kirkland...If i were your son would you want to keep me?" Maybe his parents were just stupid. Iggy was smart though. He trusted his opinion. "I know i don't get amazing grades but i try."

Arthur looked up, meeting those bright blue eyes and could not, for the life of him, respond. The boy in front of him was asking such a question, and quite honestly, he didn't know. Having kids and thinking about how he wanted his children was not on his mind. He was only 23 for goodness sake! But the more he stared at that stupid grin and that annoying voice kept asking him over and over in his head, the more the teacher softened. He ruffled the boy's hair and smiled back, nodding.
"Sure. But if you were my kid, you'd have better manners. You'd break less doors too, and your pet would not be the same size as most of the students here."

Alfred laughed and he stood up feeling much better than he did before. "Thanks Mr. Kirkland. That's all i needed." He walked over to the window and put his hands on the ledge and stared out over the castle and the lush lands. "This year is gonna be awesome."

"One can only hope... But you should study more for my class," he chided, "You barely passed last year!" And that had been because of the fact Alfred had one of, if not the shortest attention spans the Brt had every known. You said something to him and asked him to repeat... And it came back as something about hamburgers or ice cream. Ugh. Arthur ran a hand through his messy blonde hair and glanced at his pocket watch again. Oh... They should head back soon, in case other students had arrived, doubtful, but still.

Alfred laughed but it lacked it's usual ring to it. He was still down about so many things that happened during summer. His heart ached. He wished his friends would hurry up and get here so he wouldn't have to be so alone. Not that Arthur was good company..but he sort of, maybe, kind of, liked the guy. Even though he was like 6 years older. That thought in itself was depressing enough.

Arthur heaved himself up and sighed deeply, looking over the large expanse of school grounds. A satisfied and prideful grin spread across his face. He loved this school, and he lived his job, and in a word they were both magical. Ah, but that was enough, he had teacherly duties to get back to, and ern the sulking Alfred couldn't stay like that forever. Especially not around people. The Brit walked past him and patte his shoulder one last time before heading to the door.
"Come along, there should be some students here by now."

Alfred nodded and grabbed his things and followed after Arthur. Maybe a few of the guys would be there. He smiled and walked down the stairs.

Carmela entered the tower to the sound of fluttering wings and other bird noises. "Come over here~" She coaxed, moving towards one of the large windows where a small pile of shimering rocks sat.

Angelo obeyed, blinking down at them. "Wow... Where'd you find them?"

"The owls brought them to me,"Carmela explained, carefuly shifting the pile,"I gess it was thanks for playing with them..." She grinned and moved her hands from the pile. The stones caught the sunlight just right and burst into a rainbow of color, flooding the area with light. The girl giggled when one of the older birds gave an indignent hoot at being desturbed.
