Jen sealed her letter and called for her bird, whistling occasionally until her snowy owl flew from a perch, "Hey there Noel," she said softly. "How're you today." She walked over to the windowsill with her owl perched gently on her outstretched arm. Jen stroked the owls beak fondly, avoiding the nibbles that Noel tried to give her. "Don't worry, I remembered to bring you some treats." With that she pulled the treats out of her pocket feeding them to Noel.

"That's a really beautiful owl." *Said Logan as he entered and spotted Jenna. He smiled and walked over towards her, a letter of his own in his hand. It was an update on his condition that he was sending home to his mother. Logan held up an arm and whisled.* "Jude..." *His own owl, a large tawny, fley down and landed on his arm. He stroaked it and looked up at Jenna* "How're you?"

Jenna jumped in surprise, then laughed at her own startled state. She hadn't even heard anyone come in and she'd been so wrapped up in her owl and own thoughts she'd even forgotten where she was. She turned around, smiling as she realized it to be Logan. "Oh hello! Thanks. Her name's Noel, I got her as a christmas present a few years ago so I though the name was rather fitting." She smiled, stroking her owl rather fondly. "I'm actually really good, just sending a letter off to my family. What about you?"

*Logan had grinned at her laugh. It was infectious.* "I'm actually pretty good myself. I had to write my mom. She's sent howlers before when I don't write." *He reached in his pocket and pulled out some owl treats for Jude. Logan handed them to him and started tying the letter to his leg while he munched on them*

"That's good. Well I'm glad my mom doesn't tdo hat. Or at least, she hasn't yet. But I'm sure if I went a couple months without writing she would send a howler." She laughed at the idea of howler being sent just because she didn't write. She started to the letter her owls leg, feding her a couple more treats. That owl really was spoiled. And then with a whoosh of her wings she was off and out the window and on her way to home.

*Logan gave Jude one more treat when the letter was on and then let him fly off through the window after Noel. After he was gone, Logan turned back to Jenna. He had been planningto ask her on a date or something outside of school, but now that he was there he didn't know if he could do it.* "Mei was pretty angry that I stood her up the other day." *He started with a laugh, mentally smacking himself for stupidity.*

Jenna watched for a second as the owls flew off in the distance. She turned to face Logan with a laugh, "Ah well, I'm sure she'll get over it sooner it later. You can always set up another tea date..." She smiled, looking up at Logan. It was funny, but she had really begun to like him. It was a new feeling for her, this was the first crush that she'd ever had on a professor, but he was beginning to feel more like a friend than her professor.

"Er, well....we had a bit of a row actually..." *He ran a hand over his chin and smiled guiltly.* "I'm afraid that she'd poision mine.....so we'll skip the tea for now." *He bit his lip and looked over at her* Okay....you have to do it now or you'll never do it.... "Jenna, I was wondering if you'd like to go out to dinner with me. It wouldn't have to be a date..unless you wanted it to be a date...or if you absolutely hate the idea then I wouldn't be offended, if you think it's weird or something." *He senced that he was beginning to ramble and made himself shut up.*

"Oh gosh, I'm really sorry. Well, I guess you'd better watch your tea for a while, just in case," Jen said, feeling kind of bad that she'd made a joke of the whole thing. She looked up at Logan, a little surprised at what he was saying, but grinning. Her stomach did a little flip, she was a little nervous about going on a date with a professor, but no one would have to know and besides, she really liked him "I'd absolutely love to . . . as a date. I don't think it's weird."

"Really?" *Logan had been expecting the worse, and was just as suprised as she had been. A smile slowly crept onto his face.* "You're sure you're not just saying so because you wouldn'tw ant me to fail you in DADA?"

Jenna laughed, "Yea. Really, really. And no I'm not just saying that because I don't want you to fail me in DADA." The truth was that she really liked him. "You won't fail me though, will you?" she said jokingly with a laugh.

"No, of course not. I promise." *He laughed as well. Now that she had agreed to go on a date with him he was able to relax slightly. He was still keyed up, but not as much as he had been just moments before. The muscles in his arms didn't feel as tence either. Logan slid his hands into the pockets of his leather jacket that he was wearing.* "So when would you like to go? Is tonight okay for you? Around 6:30?"

"Good, cause my mom would kill me if I did." She said with a laugh. She couldn't believe that she was going to go on a date with Logan, she was really excited. "Tonight sounds great." she said with a huge grin on her face. She could see that he was relaxing a bit, he must've been really nervous. "Where do you have in mind?" It had been a while since she;d gone out, tonight would be fun.

*Logan grinned at the thought of going out with her, combined with her obvious excitement.* "Oh...I dunno. There's some nice places for dinner around here. Somewhere casual probably. Unless you had somewhere specific in mind." *He figited slightly, racking his brain for somewhere nice to eat for them to go to.*

"Sounds great to me. I don't really have anywhere specific in mind, pretty anywhere is fine with me to be honest." Jen said, still grinning. She didn't really mind where they went, she hadn't gone out in such a long time that she'd forgotten where there was to go for the most part. The only place that she could actually think of was the Three Broomsticks.

"Okay." *Another wave of relefe washed over him. She weasn't expecting something extravagant. Logan's grin broadned again. He had to glance away for a second to keep his exctiement in check. But it hit him again when he looked back at her* "Okay, well, um....I'll meet you in the entrance hall around 6:30 then?"

Jenna nodded, "All right, I'll be there." She couldn't keep the excitement out of her expression. She worried, for a split second, about others would say or think if they found out about this. But who was she kidding? She didn't care. She liked him and that was all that mattered.

"Okay...well, I have some papers to grade before tomorrow, so I'll see you tonight, okay?" *He shuffled his foot, relutant to leave.* "6:30." *He repeated, jsut to be sure that neither of them would turn up at the wrong time.* "Bye Jenna....." *He turned to leave, cloasing his eyes and grinning to himself as he walked. When he got to the door he turned and waved over his shoulder again before exiting*

Jenna smiled. "OK, 6:30, So I'll see you later then." She said watching him leave but so excited for that night. She smiled as he looked over his shoulder "Bye Logan." She was already trying to plan on what to wear. It had been so long since she'd really been a date. She looked around the room, one last time and sighed happily before leaving herself.
