It was later on in the evening, after Harry's incident with Trelawney, and now the golden trio and Robyn sat at the Gryffindor table in the Great Hall for Dinner.

Harry had explained everything that had happened with Trelawney to his three best friends, as soon as it had happened. They all had slightly different opinions on the matter. Ron seemed a bit worried but brushed it off saying she was a crazy old fool. Hermione laughed slightly, her eyes filled with anger, and agreed with Ron about Trelawney but also adding that she was a fraud. Harry had agreed with the two but he then repeated what the Professor had said and how her voice was different. Robyn then tried to reassure Harry but she couldn't think of anything to say.

Harry and Ron seemed to have forgotten the whole ordeal that had happened a couple of weeks ago, when they were going down to see Hagrid. They now seemed completely comfortable around eachother, like the whole thing never happened.

Suddenly, a loud squawk interrupted the Great hall. The students looked up to see the mail was being delivered. All sorts of coloured owls flew in through the various windows, all going to their rightful owners.

Robyn noticed her brothers owl and smiled widely. It came to a graceful halt and landed on her shoulder. Her hand immediately went up and gently stroked the owls beak.

"Long time no see, Aurora!" Robyn smiled as the owl hooted happily. Robyn had chosen the name for her brothers owl as her brother couldn't come up with one. She had got the idea for the name as the owl's feathers had a slight orange tinge to them.

"I didn't know you had an owl, Robyn." Hermione said, watching as the brown-orange barn owl jumped from Robyn's shoulder on to the table and began to drink from a goblet.

"Oh, I don't. It's my brothers." Robyn replied, taking the envelope from the owl, which then proceeded to drink from the goblet again.

"Brother?" Harry asked, taking a bite of his sausage.

"Oh yes. He works at the Ministry. Same as my parents." Robyn nodded, opening the envelope, cutting off any of the trio who were going to continue with their conversation. They left her in peace, knowing she didn't get mail that often.

Robyn opened the letter with excitement, it read:

Dear Robyn Hood,

Robyn smiled. Her brother had always called her that. She didn't know the meaning behind it but she loved it. It always made her feel loved and wanted.

Sorry it has taken me so long to write to you, the Ministry has been crazy with the case of Sirius Black and the fact that he has escaped and all that. This takes me on to my next point: Mom and Dad and I have been going crazy. We have heard that Sirius Black has broke into Hogwarts. Please tell me it is not true. Please tell me you are still safe there.

Robyn smiled sadly at the piece of parchment. She wishes she could tell her brother that Black was nowhere near the castle.

Well, even if Black has been located by Hogwarts, I know Dumbledore will do everything in his power to keep his students safe. Sorry mom and dad couldn't write to you, they have been very busy again. I hope you are well and I hope I get to see you soon. Please write back to me as soon as you can.
I love you, Robyn.

Sincerely, Alex x

Robyn's grip on the the letter tightened. She really missed her family. She always did. And stuff like this she treasured. She knew she had not long seen them as she had saw them for the Christmas holiday but she couldn't help but long to see their faces again. Robyn tucked the letter safely in to her robes and then dug in her bag for parchment, a quill and ink. She pulled them out and began to write.

Dear Alex,

I am perfectly well thank you. Sirius has been in the castle but let me reassure you, we are all perfectly safe and he has only been in once. I must admit I am scared but like you said: Dumbledore will do anything too keep his students safe. I hope you are well and I hope the Ministry isn't treating you too badly. Say hi to mom and dad for me and send my love.
I miss you all terribly much!
Love you,

Sincerely, Robyn Hood xx

P.S. I have some amazing news. I have finally made some friends. I know I always tell mom and dad I have some but now I don't have to lie anymore. I know you have always known I was an outcast and I am thankful that you have not told mom and dad about it as it would only worry them. So thanks. Anyway, I bet you want to know who they are. Well...they are...Harry Potter, Hermione Granger and Ronald Weasley. They are amazing and so kind. Anyway, I should probably go, I have somewhere to be. I love you. Bye xx

Robyn smiled down at her letter, happy with the turn out. She then folded it up and attached it to Aurora's claw. Robyn stroked Aurora one last time before the owl soared off. Robyn packed her things away and walked with the trio to Hagrid's hut for yet another not-so-happy visit. Robyn's mood seemed to drop and the letter from her brother was soon forgotten.

(Only a filler chapter. But I thought as I only mentioned Robyn's family briefly it would be nice to introduce them more. So I know it is short but I hope you like it. I also know I spelt Robin Hood wrong, it is meant to be like that. Anyway, any votes and comments are appreciated. Bye guys)

Also, I know the owl post is normally in the morning but for the stories sake, I put it in the evening. I think it will only be this once I do it. Sorry if it has annoyed any of you. Bye
